The Annual Report Volga TGC 2007 One of the creators of the management theory, Henri Fayol wrote, that manage- ment is an continuous process, consisting of forecast, planning, organization, man- agement, coordination and control. But how the reliable forecast can be made, that The annual report Volga TGC 2007 can become the grounds for the successful project implementation? How at least the pencil sketch of the picture of tomorrow can be drawn? And what is future? Futurologists still argue what is the extent of its predictability and alternativeness. Are we creating future or will the events going to happen inevitably become the real- ity having masqueraded as the consequences of inevitable chain of accidents? And what is more important when our knowledge of tomorrow is insufficient: analysis or intuition? Let the futurologists guess what is the future of power companies and what sources of energy will dominate: thermonuclear synthesis, nanotechnological solar ele- ments or upper-air wind. We already know the most important thing about the future: we are going to face competition and this is the major factor that will influ- ence Volga TGC operation in the nearest future. It is the increase of ability to com- pete that is the basic goal of today. Which means that each figure of the reporting statistics will reveal not only information of the past, but also a key to more success- ful future.

  • The New Data on the Aptian Zonation in the Ulyanovsk (Simbirsk) Region, Russian Platform
    Zbl. Geol. Palaont. Teil I 19% H. 11/12 1131-1147 Stuttgart, April 1998 The new data on the Aptian zonation in the Ulyanovsk (Simbirsk) region, Russian Platform By EVGENI Y. BARABOSHKIN, Moscow With 3 plates, 2 figures and 1 table in the text BARABOSHKIN, E. Y. (1998): New data on the Aptian zonation in the Ulyanovsk (Simbirsk) region, Russian Platform. - Zbl. Geol. Palaont. Teil I, 1996 (11/12): 1131-1147; Stuttgart. Abstract: Recent reinvestigation of sections provided the opportunity to propose a new biostratigraphic zonation for the Aptian deposits of the region. The Barremian/Aptian boundary is defined by the disappearance of the belemnite Oxyteuthis (Validoteuthis) lahuseni. The basal Aptian does not contain any index macrofauna and could correspond to the Prodes- hayesites zone. The succeeding Deshayesites forbesi zone was recognized by CASEY (1964), but its stratigraphical range in the River Volga Basin was determined for the first time. It is overlain by the Deshayesites deshayesi zone with oil-shales. Above it, the Deshayesites grandis zone was recognized. It contains large Deshayesites in assemblages with numer- ous Australiceras. The Tropaeum (T.) bowerbanki zone ends the Lower Ap- tian succession. It was possible to recognize only one ammonite zone, the Aconeceras nisus zone, in the Middle Aptian. The Upper Aptian cannot be characterized by means of ammonites because of the near-shore origin. It is overlain disconformably by the Upper Albian with a sharp basal con- tact. The succession is very similar to that in England. Zusammenfassung: Jungste Studien der Profile geben die Moglichkeit, eine neue biostratigraphische Zonenaufteilung der Apt-Ablagerungen in diesem Gebiet vorzuschlagen.

This leads to the formation of new shorelines, which are highly dynamic regarding erosion and deposition processes. The present work aims to assess the direct human action along the largest reservoir in Europe—Kuibyshev (Russian Federation) and to analyse threatened cultural heritage sites from the coastal area, with the help of historical maps, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), and topographic surveys. This approach is a necessity, due to the oscillating water level, local change of climate, and to the continuous increasing of natural hazards (in this case coastal erosion) all over the world. Many studies are approaching coastal areas of the seas and oceans, yet there are fewer studies regarding the inland coastal areas of large artificial reservoirs. Out of the total number of 1289 cultural heritage sites around the Kuibyshev reservoir, only 90 sites are not affected by the dam building; the rest had completely disappeared under the reservoir’s water.

Correlation of the Barremian belemnite successions of northwest Europe and the Ulyanovsk – Saratov area (Russian Platform). Acta Geologica Polonica, 54 (4), 499-510. Warszawa. The marine sedimentary successions of Barremian age yield, both in northwest Europe and on the Russian Platform, diverse and abundant belemnite faunas. These include the genera Praeoxyteuthis, Aulacoteuthis and Oxyteuthis and are attributed to the boreal belemnite family Oxyteuthididae. The Oxyteuthididae are endemic to northwest Europe (north- ern Germany, northeast England, North Sea) and the Russian Platform, where they evolved in isolation. They possibly derived from the belemnite genus Acroteuthis in Late Hauterivian time. Phylogenetically they are interpreted as the lat- est off shoot of the Belemnitina, which became extinct in the Early Aptian. Since ammonites are extremely rare on the Russian Platform oxyteuthid belemnites have been used to establish a biozonation scheme with seven belemnite zones (from bottom to top): Praeoxyteuthis hibolitiformis Zone (Early Barremian), Praeoxyteuthis jasikofiana Zone (Early Barremian), Praeoxyteuthis pugio Zone (earliest Barremian), Aulacoteuthis descendens Zone (late Early Barremian), Oxyteuthis brunsvicensis Zone (early Late Barremian), Oxyteuthis germanica Zone (Late Barremian), and Oxyteuthis lahuseni Zone (latest Barremian/Aptian).
