This study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the flora of Donyztau, Zheltau, and the mountainous regions of Mangyshlak and Mugodzhar, situated within the arid zone of Asia. The main objective was to understand the similarities and differences in the floristic composition of these regions and their importance for biodiversity conservation. Standard botanical and ...

This study investigated how local communities in Kazakhstan perceive, engage with, and potentially influence the adoption of carbon dioxide utilization technologies in their regions. Assess the impact of community-led initiatives on grid emission factors. In this study, qualitative interviews were conducted with community members residing in regions characterized by substantial ...

This study explored the effectiveness of integrating Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) enhanced by graphene oxide as a unique approach for carwash effluent treatment. The research encompassed three key components: analyzing MFC in isolation, evaluating MOF alone, and studying the combined MFC and MOF approach. The results demonstrated that the ...

The increasing discharge of pharmaceuticals and nitrates into aquatic environments poses significant ecological and public health risks, as conventional wastewater treatment plants often fail to achieve complete removal. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a bioelectrochemical approach for simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy generation; however, their efficiency is ...

This study examines the phytocenotic, phenotypic, phytochemical, antioxidant, and toxic effects of four geographically distinct populations of the traditionally used plant species Adonis volgensis Steven ex DC. from Central and Northern Kazakhstan. These populations, found in diverse habitats such as steppe-like forest edges and moist plains, coexist with species like Achillea ...

The paper presents the results of the study of the proposed type of variable profile piles. The proposed type of piles is reinforced concrete driven piles segmented in length. Each subsequent section has a radial displacement along the axis of symmetry relative to the previous section. The positive effect of the performance of the proposed pile is to change the nature of ...

The study evaluates the dynamics and condition of post-fire forest recovery in the Amankaragay massif of the Kostanay region, Republic of Kazakhstan, which has been subjected to both natural and anthropogenic pyrogenic influences, resulting in structural transformations within the forest ecosystems and pyrogenic succession processes. The objective of this research is to assess ...

The article examines the history of the Aral Sea and the environmental disaster of the twentieth century associated with the disappearance of the world's fourth sea body of water. A comprehensive author's research at the interdisciplinary level showed the role and place of the Aral Sea from the moment of its formation in the surrounding space, its influence on the ...

Currently, the use of FACTS devices for voltage regulation and optimal control of electric power system modes is widely used. Controlled FACTS devices, based on power electronics, allow obtaining the desired characteristic of not only power transmission, but also a dedicated part of the electrical system. The paper presents the results of a study of the operating modes of ...
