Helsinki: ETLA, The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy, 2003, 210 p. (B, ISSN 0356-7443; No. 197). ISBN 951-628-382-9. ABSTRACT: Energy industries in Russia and in Northwest Russia in particular are of the utmost importance and occupy the largest shares in the total industrial produc- tion and exports. Northwest Russia is developing into the major export hub for the Russian energy exports. It means that the appropriate infrastructure and potential to establish processing facilities are created in this area. Energy industries play also an important role as essential suppliers for many local producers. As many Northwest Russian manufacturing industries are still very energy consuming, energy efficiency and energy cost will have a strong effect on their profitability. The so-called energy complex created in the Soviet period in Russia and in Northwest Russia was based on the command economy, not market principles. Therefore, the transition to the mar- ket economy led to profound changes in the industry structure and allocation. These changes need to be assessed in order to adjust the business and industrial policy- making to changing circumstances. Analysis of the Northwest Russian energy cluster consisting of oil, gas, coal and peat production and processing, power generation and power engineering industries as well as supporting industries and associated services (prospecting, maintenance and transport, etc.) was aimed to serve this purpose.

    INDOOR AIR Q~ALITY IN MUSEUMS AND HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN ST. PETERSBURG AND IN NORTH-WEST REGION OF RUSSIA V.D.Korkin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture by name I.Repi& Russia ABSTRACT This presentation deals with the problem of achieving stable microclimate in old buddmgs of St Petersburg - such as churches, museums and palaces. Characteristic traits of such buildings are rather thick envelops which as a rule accumulate large quantities of heat or cold. The majority of these buildings are equipped only with central water heating and are naturally ventilated. Experimental study of microclimate in buildings of this kind proves that during cold season (with average temperature -10”C)the relative humidity there will be about 30-35% and less. In summer time temperature background does not rise above 22-24°C whereas the relative humidity sometimes can rise up to 75-80Y0. Eventually we should like to note that climate parameters of St Petersburg can be taken as a characteristic for entire Norten-West of Russia. Inserting into such buildings air conditioning systems (provided with cooling plants and devices for automatic control) does not aways give positive results. With consideration of climate features of the region and peculiarities of the buildings we worked out system which helps to maintain stable microclimate, special attention to thermrd inertia of walls included. This decision will give an oppotiunity to reduce a load on heating system at any rate to 15-20%. It will also give the chance for adiabatic humidity control in winter which is nessessary for the humidity control.

  • The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024
    The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024 The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024 Report Price: US$4,800 (Single User) 1 The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024 Summary “The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024” offers the reader detailed analysis of the global submarine market over the next ten years, and provides market size forecasts. It covers the key technological and market trends in the submarine market. The demand for global submarines is anticipated to be driven by growing regional tensions, coupled with maritime conflicts. The new technological advancements in the sector will also drive demand. The market is expected to be dominated by North America, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. In spite of the budget sequestration measures, the US still has the highest spend in the sector and is almost equal to the spending in Asia-Pacific, which is the second largest spending region. Asia Pacific is the second largest market for submarines with major spenders in the region including China, India, Australia and Japan. “The Global Submarine Market 2014–2024” provides detailed analysis of the current industry size and growth expectations from 2014 to 2024, including highlights of key growth stimulators. It also benchmarks the industry against key global markets and provides a detailed understanding of emerging opportunities in specific areas. Key Findings A major finding in the report entails that the sector demand will be largely driven by increase in maritime security threats and need for replacement of obsolete submarines; leading to consistent growth in the market. The demand for submarines is also anticipated to be driven by the need for the balance of power by countries with major militaries.

    RCHITECTURE DURING THE EPOCH OF PETER THE AGREAT (1703-1725) Galina P. Chudesova*11G.P St Petersburg National Research University of Information Technology, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO University) St Petersburg, Russia Keywords: architecture, St Petersburg, maximaphily, Cabin of Peter the Great 1. Introduction In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in the House of Romanov. An almost total absence of information on the life and activities of the members of this dy- nasty during the Soviet period led to an explosion of interest in this theme after the col- lapse of the USSR. In the post-Soviet period, a stream of literature about the Romanov dynasty looded society, focusing on the architects of that time as creators of particular architectural monuments. As a result, during the translation of collective knowledge, information about the role of the monarchs in creating the architectural heritage of St. Petersburg is practically absent. The present article offers an unusual way of looking at St Petersburg. This is the irst in the series of articles entitled “Architectural Chronicle of St Petersburg”, devoted to deining the contribution each monarch made to the development of the city. The aspects relating to the formation of social memory in society and its implications for the future have been suficiently studied in the historical and philosophical sense, therefore, the author of the paper has considered any scientiic insights unnecessary. Of all the approaches scientists have taken in studying heritage, the author is closest to the informative approach proposed by Ya.K. Rebane and further developed by such scientists as V.A.
