Methodological Toolkit for Assessing the Investment Attractiveness of Renewable Resources in Northern and Arctic Territories
This article examines a pressing issue of assessing the investment attractiveness of renewable resources in underdeveloped Northern and Arctic territories that have a huge untapped natural resource potential. The subject of the study is the economic interactions that occur during the development of natural resource potential. The goal of this study is to develop the methodological toolkit for assessing the investment attractiveness for businesses and government authorities at various levels. At the pre-investment stage of development projects, we identified typical landscapes for zoning of the territory and assessed them for each type of renewable natural resources. Based on an analysis of existing approaches to natural resource zoning, the authors propose to identify three types of landscapes, including those that are attractive in terms of investment, those that are attractive in terms of investment with certain limitations, and those that are unattractive for investment. The study has confirmed the hypothesis that the selection of the most valuable natural resources expands the opportunities for their economic use. The investment attractiveness is determined by favorable geographical location, development of regional infrastructure, natural potential viewed as a priority object. The authors have provided the rationale for the need to valuate the natural resource potential of landscape areas within the boundaries of an assessed territory for the purposes of their ranking based on establishing the investment attractiveness. The limitations may be imposed by the low level of infrastructure development prerequisites, insufficient sustainability of landscapes to anthropogenic influences, export of raw materials for processing outside the territory, etc. The authors have substantiated the list of conditions that require the introduction of correction coefficients to the value indicators of natural resource potential in landscape areas. The main findings of the study are presented in the form of landscape zoning of the territory and methodological toolkit for assessing the investment attractiveness tested in Berezovsky Municipal District of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug—Yugra.The article has been prepared under the Grant No. 14–18–00456 "Substantiating the Geo-Eco-Socio-Economic Approach to the Development of Strategic Natural Resource Potential of Northern Understudied Territories as Part of The Arctic—Central Asia Investment Project " provided by the Russian Science Foundation
Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron in the first resonance region
Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron is studied in the first
resonance region. The unpolarized cross section, the beam asymmetry, and the
vector and tensor target asymmetries are calculated in the framework of a
diagrammatic approach. Pole diagrams and one-loop diagrams with scattering
in the final state are taken into account. An elementary operator for pion
photoproduction on the nucleon is taken in various on-shell forms and
calculated using the SAID and MAID multipole analyses. Model dependence of the
obtained results is discussed in some detail. A comparison with predictions of
other works is given. Although a reasonable description of many available
experimental data on the unpolarized total and differential cross sections and
photon asymmetry has been achieved, in some cases a significant disagreement
between the theory and experiment has been found. Invoking known information on
the reactions and we predict the total
photoabsorption cross section for deuterium. We find that our values strongly
overestimate experimental data in the vicinity of the peak.Comment: 22 pages, 23 figure
Radially and azimuthally excited states of a soliton system of vortex and Q-ball
In the present paper, we continue to study the two-dimensional soliton system
that is composed of vortex and Q-ball components interacting with each other
through an Abelian gauge field. This vortex-Q-ball system is electrically
neutral as a whole, nevertheless it possesses a nonzero electric field.
Moreover, the vortex-Q-ball system has a quantized magnetic flux and a nonzero
angular momentum, and combines properties of topological and nontopological
solitons. We investigate radially and azimuthally excited states of the
vortex-Q-ball system along with the unexcited vortex-Q-ball system at different
values of gauge coupling constants. We also ascertain the behaviour of the
vortex-Q-ball system in several extreme regimes, including thin-wall and
thick-wall regimes.Comment: 19 pages, 14 figure
Dependence of effective spectrum width of synchrotron radiation on particle energy
For an exact quantitative description of spectral properties in the theory of
synchrotron radiation, the concept of effective spectral width is introduced.
In the classical theory, numeric calculations of effective spectral width
(using an effective width not exceeding 100 harmonics) for polarization
components of synchrotron radiation are carried out. The dependence of the
effective spectral width and initial harmonic on the energy of a radiating
particle is established
Effective spectrum width of the synchrotron radiation
For an exact quantitative description of spectral properties of synchrotron
radiation (SR), the concept of effective width of the spectrum is introduced.
In the most interesting case, which corresponds to the ultrarelativistic limit
of SR, the effective width of the spectrum is calculated for the polarization
components, and new physically important quantitative information on the
structure of spectral distributions is obtained. For the first time, the
spectral distribution for the circular polarization component of the SR for the
upper half-space is obtained within classical theory
