PROBLEMS OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPRISES

The article highlights the key issues of intellectual capital management of enterprises. The existence of these problems has a systemic nature and their solution goes beyond the micro level of business. Intellectual capital, as an object of management, is not homogeneous. There are many related and adjacent concepts. The improvement of the terminology apparatus is based on the study of the essential characteristics of certain categories and the identification of the links between them. A separate problem is the structuring of intellectual capital. Within the three traditional constituents (human, organizational and consumer capital), the author presents his own specification of elements of intellectual capital. The problem of the economic evaluation of intellectual capital and its elements lies in the subjectivity of existing methods. Comparative analysis of evaluation methods, identifying their advantages and disadvantages for individual cases allows us to find the best way to evaluate. The author proposes solving the problem of methodology of intellectual capital management at the intersection of functional and process approaches to management. The obtained results have a theoretical character and are the basis for development of applied methods of management of intellectual capital of enterprises.The article highlights the key issues of intellectual capital management of enterprises.

Competing charge density waves and temperature-dependent nesting in 2H-TaSe2

Multiple charge density wave (CDW) phases in 2H-TaSe2 are investigated by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction. In a narrow temperature range immediately above the commensurate CDW transition, we observe a multi-q superstructure with coexisting commensurate and incommensurate order parameters, clearly distinct from the fully incommensurate state at higher temperatures. This multi-q ordered phase, characterized by a temperature hysteresis, is found both during warming and cooling, in contrast to previous reports. In the normal state, the incommensurate superstructure reflection gives way to a broad diffuse peak that persists nearly up to room temperature. Its position provides a direct and accurate estimate of the Fermi surface nesting vector, which evolves non-monotonically and approaches the commensurate position as the temperature is increased. This behavior agrees with our recent observations of the temperature-dependent Fermi surface in the same compound [Phys. Rev. B 79, 125112 (2009)]

Structural disorder versus chiral magnetism in Cr1/3_{1/3}NbS2_2

The crystal structure of a disordered form of Cr$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ has been characterized using diffraction and inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. In contrast to the previously reported symmetry (P6$_3$22), the crystal can be described by a regular twinning of an average P6$_3$ structure with three disordered positions of the Cr ions. Short-range correlations of the occupational disorder result in a quite intense and structured diffuse scattering; a static nature of the disorder was unambiguously attributed by the inelastic x-ray scattering. The diffuse scattering has been modeled using a reverse Monte-Carlo algorithm assuming a disorder of the Cr sub-lattice only. The observed correlated disorder of the Cr sub-lattice reduces the temperature of the magnetic ordering from 130 K to 88 K and drastically modifies the field dependence of the magnetization as it is evidenced by the SQUID magnetometery. We conclude, that in contrast to the helicoidal spin structure assumed for P6$_3$22 form, the compound under study is ferromagnetically ordered with a pronounced in-plane anisotropy

Real time plasma equilibrium reconstruction in a Tokamak

The problem of equilibrium of a plasma in a Tokamak is a free boundary problemdescribed by the Grad-Shafranov equation in axisymmetric configurations. The right hand side of this equation is a non linear source, which represents the toroidal component of the plasma current density. This paper deals with the real time identification of this non linear source from experimental measurements. The proposed method is based on a fixed point algorithm, a finite element resolution, a reduced basis method and a least-square optimization formulation
