sensitive area at Tunka Valley, Siberia, for measuring charged particles and muons in extensive air showers (EASs). ...Tunka-Grande is optimized for cosmic ray studies in the energy range 10 PeV to about 1 EeV, where exploring the composition is of fundamental importance for understanding the transition from galactic to extragalactic origin of cosmic rays. This paper attempts to provide a synopsis of the current results of the experiment. In particular, the reconstruction of the all-particle energy spectrum in the range of 10 PeV to 1 EeV based on experimental data from four observation seasons is presented.
The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of the gravitational waves (GWs) predicted by Einstein & Sitzungsber. We report on the first optical observations of the GW ...source GW150914 error region with the Global MASTER Robotic Net. Between the optical telescopes of electromagnetic support, the covered area is dominated by MASTER with an unfiltered magnitude up to 19.9 mag (5s). We detected several optical transients, which proved to be unconnected with the GW event. The main input to investigate the final error box of GW150914 was made by the MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope, which covered 70 per cent of the final GW error box and 90 per cent of the common localization area of the LIGO and Fermi events. Our result is consistent with the conclusion (Abbott et al. 2016a) that GWs from GW150914 were produced in a binary black hole merger. At the same time, we cannot exclude that MASTER OT J040938.68-541316.9 exploded on 2015 September 14.
The design for the TAIGA-HiSCORE array, a part of the TAIGA Gamma Ray Observatory, is considered. The observatory is being constructed in the Tunka Valley, 50 km from Lake Baikal. Preliminary results ...obtained using the first 28 optical stations of the array are presented.

Two new rabies-related viruses were discovered in Russia during 2002. Viruses were isolated from bats in Eastern Siberia near Baikal Lake and in the western Caucasus Mountains. After preliminary ...antigenic and genetic characterization, we found that both viruses should be considered as new putative lyssavirus genotypes.

With the HiSCORE (Hundred*i Square kilometer Cosmic ORigin Explorer) experiment we aim at the exploration of the accelerator sky using indirect air shower observations of cosmic rays from 100 TeV to ...1 EeV and gamma rays above 10 TeV to several PeV. In this paper the HiSCORE detector is discribed and the results of the first prototype deployment are shown. Several components are discussed like the photomultiplier tubes, the clip-sum-trigger and the DRS4 based data acquisition. We present data taken with a first prototype station in April 2012 at Tunka.

is currently being developed at Lake Baikal by the BAIKAL collaboration. The telescope will be composed of functionally ...independent setups—clusters of strings of optical modules based on photomultiplier tubes (with eight strings in each cluster). Since 2011, field tests of the basic elements and systems of the future telescope included in autonomous measuring complexes—prototypes of the NT1000 cluster—have been performed at Lake Baikal. The basic elements and the layout of one of the currently considered versions of the acoustic positioning system for the NT1000 telescope are described, and results of tests of the system prototype included as a component in the experimental cluster of the year 2012 are presented.
The article presents the results of the study of the biotechnological and biogenic potential of king crab (P. camtschaticus) peeling waste, obtained during the production of boiled-frozen limbs. The ...waste used was a tadhopper shell and a conditionally protein portion (gills and insides) of the crab. It has been experimentally established that the proportion of the shell is about 60-65% of the weight of the waste, the proportion of the conditional protein-lipid part varies within the range of 30-35%. The waste contains proteins (13.37 ± 0,05%), lipids (2.68 ± 0,1%), minerals (8.14 ± 0,25%) and carbohydrates (4.22 ± 0,05%). Biological value of wastes is confirmed by data of amino acid composition of proteins, content of macro- and microelements and determination of relative biological value. Obtained results confirm high potential of king crab peeling waste as raw material for biologically valuable products.

It is planned that new TAIGA-Muon detectors will complement the existing Tunka-GRANDE facility of scintillation detectors of the TAIGA gamma-observatory in the Tunka valley, Russia. The new design of ...scintillation detector with wavelength shifting bars and PMTs is developed. The first prototype of the counter was installed and tested using infrastructure of the Tunka-GRANDE installation in 2017. The mass production of counters has begun in 2018 at the Novosibirsk State University.
