Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future

Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS). 2024. Vol. 57. P. 73–93.
Seleznev M.

In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the preceding context, and some by the translator’s attempt to take into account the meaning of the text. The study of the translator’s attempts to take into account the meaning of the text reveals certain discursive and narrative patterns governing his choice of tenses and casts doubts on other patterns that are sometimes ascribed to him.

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words.

Discussing the variants חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 and משברי־מות in 2 Sam 22,5 I join Talmon in considering them not transmission errors, but synonymous readings. However, I demonstrate that the equating of these two terms as both denoting “birth pangs” is not attested in the Hebrew Bible but is a later exegetical development. I argue ...

Pseudo-Hecataeus demonstrates a strong anti-hellenization tendency in the questions which are ...
