Changes in the vector of industrial policy and possibilities for the innovative development of the industrial regions

In the present paper, reasons for the increased interest in industrial policy in both developed and developing countries are explained. The systematisation of the results of the development of Russian industry from 1989 to 2014 showed a lack of systematic selection of its priorities, preventing the formation of a strategic vector of industrial policy. The target diversity of the industrial policy is established at the different economic development stages of the country. In the context of economic sanctions against Russia, it is shown that the emergence of a new industrial policy vector is connected to the need for import substitution and concomitant changes in the development model of the domestic economy. The dynamics and characteristics of the industrial development area are shown by the example of a highly developed region like the Central Urals. The total level of organisational innovation activity continues to be low and composes only 12%, although in the manufacturing sector this index is higher than the regional economy index by four absolute percentage points. The industrial policy of the Central Urals is analysed and innovation drivers of the industrial sector of the regional economy are established. The possibilities of the defence, civil engineering, mining, chemical/pharmaceutical and forestry complexes of the Sverdlovsk Region to implement its import substitution policy are explained. The most significant investment projects that will reduce the import dependence of the regional economy are presented. The possibilities of the research sector and created innovation infrastructure of the region in solving this problem are shown. It is necessary to develop the regional laws on the elaboration of industrial policy according to the basic regulations of the Federal Law “On Industrial Policy in the Russian Federation.”This article has been prepared with the support of the Russian Humanitarian Science Foundation Grant 14-02-00331 «Innovative and technological development of the region: assessment, forecasting and ways of achievement.

Vector Additive Decomposition for 2D Fractional Diffusion Equation

Such physical processes as the diffusion in the environments with fractal geometry and the particles’ subdiffusion lead to the initial value problems for the nonlocal fractional order partial differential equations. These equations are the generalization of the classical integer order differential equations.  An analytical solution for fractional order differential equation with the constant coefficients is obtained in [1] by using Laplace-Fourier transform. However, nowadays many of the practical problems are described by the models with variable coefficients.  In this paper we discuss the numerical vector decomposition model which is based on a shifted version of usual Gr¨unwald finite-difference approximation [2] for the non-local fractional order operators. We prove the unconditional stability of the method for the fractional diffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Moreover, a numerical example using a finite difference algorithm for 2D fractional order partial differential equations is also presented and compared with the exact analytical solution

Variability Profiles of Millisecond X-Ray Pulsars: Results of Pseudo-Newtonian 3D MHD Simulations

We model the variability profiles of millisecond period X-ray pulsars. We performed three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of disk accretion to millisecond period neutron stars with a misaligned magnetic dipole moment, using the pseudo-Newtonian Paczynski-Wiita potential to model general relativistic effects. We found that the shapes of the resulting funnel streams of accreting matter and the hot spots on the surface of the star are quite similar to those for more slowly rotating stars obtained from earlier simulations using the Newtonian potential. The funnel streams and hot spots rotate approximately with the same angular velocity as the star. The spots are bow-shaped (bar-shaped) for small (large) misalignment angles. We found that the matter falling on the star has a higher Mach number when we use the Paczynski-Wiita potential than in the Newtonian case. Having obtained the surface distribution of the emitted flux, we calculated the variability curves of the star, taking into account general relativistic, Doppler and light-travel-time effects. We found that general relativistic effects decrease the pulse fraction (flatten the light curve), while Doppler and light-travel-time effects increase it and distort the light curve. We also found that the light curves from our hot spots are reproduced reasonably well by spots with a gaussian flux distribution centered at the magnetic poles. We also calculated the observed image of the star in a few cases, and saw that for certain orientations, both the antipodal hot spots are simultaneously visible, as noted by earlier authors.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ; corrected some typo

Reconnecting Magnetic Flux Tubes as a Source of In Situ Acceleration in Extragalactic Radio Sources

Many extended extragalactic radio sources require a local {\it in situ\/} acceleration mechanism for electrons, in part because the synchrotron lifetimes are shorter than the bulk travel time across the emitting regions. If the magnetic field in these sources is localized in flux tubes, reconnection may occur between regions of plasma \be (ratio of particle to magnetic pressure) $<<1$, even though $\beta$ averaged over the plasma volume may be \gsim 1. Reconnection in low $\beta$ regions is most favorable to acceleration from reconnection shocks. The reconnection X-point regions may provide the injection electrons for their subsequent non-thermal shock acceleration to distributions reasonably consistent with observed spectra. Flux tube reconnection might therefore be able to provide $in\ situ$ acceleration required by large scale jets and lobes.Comment: 14 pages, plain TeX, accepted to Ap.J.Let

Somatic status of adolescent girls with gynecological disorders born with low and excessive weight

In modern conditions, health problems (somatic, reproductive, mental) of adolescent girls occupy a special place in the health care system, as a reserve in reducing maternal and infant mortality, maintaining the fertility of the expectant mother. The aim. To study the frequency and character of extragenital diseases of adolescent girls with gynecological pathology, born with low and excessive body weight. Materials and methods. The project design is a population-based prospective cohort study. To achieve the goal and the implementation of the tasks, a prospective examination of girls and adolescent girls born with deficiency or excess body weight was carried out. The sample size was 77 people. Additionally, statistical processing was carried out using the Excell software. Results. Thus, the study of somatic health indicates its deterioration in the groups of girls born with polar values ​​of body weight. In groups 1 and 3, infectious diseases were identified, which can serve as a starting point in the development of reproductive system disorders. In girls of group 1, mumps prevailed (20.0%), which could cause damage to the follicular apparatus, while in group 3, girls were more likely to have influenza (25.8%), the virus of which has a damaging effect not only on the structure of the ovaries, but also on endometrium. Conclusions. Comparative analysis of the structure of somatic morbidity made it possible to identify the most significant pathology characteristic of each of the groups. Girls born with a large body weight have an increased risk of endocrine pathology. In girls born with low body weight, somatic diseases associated with manifestations of diseases of the musculoskeletal system prevail. This dictates the need to single out girls born with polar values ​​of body weight in the risk group for the development of somatic pathology and requires complex therapeutic and prophylactic measures

Battle of Stalingrad in the diaries of junior lieutenant Rudnitsky

The authors of the article examine the events of the Battle of Stalingrad through the prism of the diary entries of Junior Lieutenant Z.S. Rudnitsky. The authors set themselves a number of tasks for revealing the topic: to show the role of air defense and its contribution to the victory at Stalingrad; evaluate the level of material and technical supply of the Red Army, evaluate the value of front-line diaries as a historical source. The relevance of this topic is explained by the need to understand the processes that resulted in the greatest military victory of World War II, as well as the increased interest in diaries as a historical source, which researchers attribute to the so-called soft communicative memory. The novelty of the study is the introduction into the scientific circulation of a previously unknown source the front-line diary of Z.S. Rudnitsky, which he led throughout the battle of Stalingrad. The value of the present source lies in the display of direct perception of the war through the eyes of a young nineteen-year-old lieutenant. Working with the materials of diary entries allowed to deepen our ideas about supplying and arming the defenders of Stalingrad, their moral condition, domestic problems. The study was carried out as part of the problem field of memory studies using retrospective, comparative historical, interdisciplinary methods. Based on an analysis of everyday life of the front lieutenant Rudnitsky, who fought on the Stalingrad front as part of the 303 artillery-anti-aircraft regiment, it was concluded that the daily military feat of the anti-aircraft gunners made it possible to block the sky over the city for German aviation, especially during the counteroffensive. The value of this feat becomes even more obvious against the background of an extremely difficult state and a lack of machinery, equipment, household inconveniences. It is concluded that it is necessary to introduce into the scientific circulation diaries that significantly expand the range of historical sources

VHF scintillations, orientation of the anisotropy of F-region irregularities and direction of plasma convection in the polar cap

Scintillation data recorded at the polar cap station Barentsburg are shown to occasionally exhibit two or more peaks in the latitudinal profiles of the amplitude dispersion. Comparison with concurrent SuperDARN radar convection maps indicates that multiple peaks occur when Barentsburg is located within the area of strong changes in the plasma flow direction. When parameters of the ionospheric irregularities are inferred from the scintillation data, the orientation of the irregularity anisotropy in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field is found to coincide well with the &lt;I&gt;&lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&amp;times;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;B&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; flow direction, individually for each peak of the scintillation data. The differences were found to be mostly less than 20&amp;deg; for a data set comprised of 104 events. The conclusion is made that analysis of scintillation data allows one to infer the direction of plasma flow with a certain degree of detail
