Essence and economical substance of innovative cluster in territorially localized business system

The article describes different methodological; approaches to determine economical substance of innovative cluster on the level of regional economy of Russia from the point of view of foreign and Russian economists. The key elements of the notion of National innovative system on the basis of approaches of International organization of cooperation and development are determined

Impact of landed property transformation on reproductive process in the agrarian process of regions

The article presents the results on land ownership transformation and its impact on the reproductive process in the agricultural sector of the Volga Region Federal District in conditions of the existing model. The analysis of the consequences of the land reform, of which 115,4 million hectares of agricultural lands were transferred into common share ownership in the form of land shares without defining the boundaries on the ground, was carried out. Availability of land shares which are not transformed into the land, fouls up and causes chaos and uncertainty in land relations, leading to the criminalization of the land market, speculative land transactions, hinders the development of the land turnover. The position of the Volga Region Federal District and its individual regions in regard to the national indexes that characterize agricultural production, factors of reproduction, is established. The conclusion concerning the low level of production profitability is made, and it hampers the extended reproduction and, consequently, the high demand for land for agricultural purposes in the future.peer-reviewe

Personal Informatics, Self-Insight, and Behavior Change: A Critical Review of Current Literature

Personal Informatics (PI) systems allow users to collect and review personally relevant information. The purpose commonly envisioned for these systems is that they provide users with actionable, data-driven self-insight to help them change their behavioral patterns for the better. Here, we review relevant theory as well as empirical evidence for this ‘Self-Improvement Hypothesis’. From a corpus of 6568 only 24 studies met the selection criteria of being a peer-reviewed empirical study reporting on actionable, data-driven insights from PI data, using a ‘clean’ PI system with no other intervention techniques (e.g. additional coaching) on a non-clinical population. First results are promising—many of the selected articles report users gaining actionable insights—but we do note a number of methodological issues that make these results difficult to interpret. We conclude that more work is needed to investigate the Self-Improvement Hypothesis and provide a set of recommendations for future work

Influence of nanodimensional additives injection method on the properties of coatings on the base of modified alkyd and epoxy primers

For the first time influence of the carbon nanotubes obtained by catalyst synthesis in pseudoliquid layer and activated and non-activated carbon nanotubes obtained in high-tension discharge plasma on the mechanical-and-physical and pr otective properties of coating on the base of modified alkyd and epoxy primers was investigated. Carbon nanotubes injection methods in the form of suspension in polar (acetone, cyclohexanone, butanol-1, ethyl cellosolve) and non-polar ( o-dimethylbenzene) solvents for alkyd primers and in the form of suspension in Р -5 А solvent and curing agent for epoxy primer were examined. In all cases the carbon nanotubes suspension in curing agent and solvent was produced by previous dispersion in cell ultrasonic bath during 15 minutes with further mixture during 20 minutes on laboratory dissolver with milling mixer. The investigation showed that modification of the alkyd primer Belakor with carbon nanotubes suspension in polar solvents increases primer properties to a greater degree than carbon nanotubes suspension in non-polar solvents. For epoxy primers it was determined that modification with carbon nanotubes suspension in solvents is more effective than in curing agent. The modification of epoxy primer with carbon nanotubes suspension in curing agent decreases coating properties in many cases, probably because of functional groups adsorption on the surface of carbon nanotubes, which results in under-cured coatings; it can be seen from decreasing hardness, and consequently, protection properties
