Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

On the Number of Minimum Total Dominating Sets in Trees

Journal of Applied and Industrial Mathematics (перевод журналов "Сибирский журнал индустриальной математики" и "Дискретный анализ и исследование операций"). 2023. Vol. 17. No. 1. P. 213–224.
D. S. Taletskii

The minimum total dominating set (MTDS) of a graph is a vertex subset D of
minimum cardinality such that every vertex of the graph is adjacent to at least one vertex of D.
In this paper we obtain a sharp upper bound for the number of MTDSs in the class
of n-vertex 2-caterpillars. We also show that for all n ≥ 1 every n-vertex tree has less than (√2)^n MTDSs.

On Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced basic set
Pochinka O., Barinova M., Journal of Geometry and Physics 2026 Vol. 228 P. 1–8
In the present paper we consider an Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced non-trivial basic set. Such basic sets include, for instance, all one-dimensional expanding attractors and those two-dimensional basic sets that are not expanding. We prove that the chain recurrent set of every such a diffeomorphism necessarily contains at least two non-trivial ...

n this paper, we focus on the generalization of the Hurst empirical law and suggest a set of reduced parameters for quantitative description of long-time series. These series are usually considered as a specific response of a complex system (economic, geophysical, electromagnetic and other systems), where successive fixations of external factors become impossible.

A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...
