Region Foreign Economic Relations as a Factor of Reindustiralization
At present, the strengthening vector of the developing economies, in particular, of the countries of Eurasian Economic Union and BRICS, in the geographic structure of Russian foreign economic activity is observed. The subject matter of the article is to see, how the development of this direction can be economically favorable. For this purpose, the forms and degree of the development of economic partnership including collaboration with the Russian regions are investigated. The agreements on the economic partnership with the regions of partner countries of Russia, their production relations are considered. The analysis of foreign trade shows that in the case of the partner countries within Eurasian integration and the BRICS group — Russian economy gets the high possibility to become the supplier of products of relatively high degree of processing which is the key factor of development of its processing industry, i.e. the factor of reindustrialization and export-oriented import substitution.The article has been prepared within the project of fundamental research of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (20152017) No. 15-14-7-13 “Scenario approaches to realization of Ural vector of management and development of the Russian Arctic in terms of world instability”

The External Economic Factor in the Development of Northwestern Regions: Institutional Support and an Impact Assessment
This research is warranted, since the Northwestern Federal District accounts for a significant proportion of Russia’s exports. The study aims to reveal the connection between the federal district’s external and internal economic development and to identify the extent to which institutional support for international economic cooperation facilitates brisk international trade. The authors consider international trade from the perspective of its procedural and institutional components. The study stresses dependence between the total international trade and internal economic performance of Russia’s North-West. Another focus is an analysis of institutional support for the development factors and the levels and areas of international economic cooperation. The analysis shows that the Northwestern regions’ external and internal economic development is interdependent and there is considerable support for international cooperation at different levels and in different areas. To a degree, this is explained by the federal district’s geographical position and transport connections, the ‘Nordic’ character of the economy shared by the Russian and neighbouring territories, and the multi-tier nature of the institutional framework for international economic cooperation in the international region
Increased Perceived Stress is Associated with Blunted Hedonic Capacity: Potential Implications for Depression Research
Preclinical studies suggest that stress exerts depressogenic effects by impairing hedonic capacity, in humans, however, the precise mechanisms linking stress and depression are largely unknown. As an initial step towards better understanding the association between stress and anhedonia, the present study tested, in two independent samples, whether individuals reporting elevated stress exhibit decreased hedonic capacity. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) measured the decree to which participants appraised their daily life as unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overwhelming. Hedonic capacity was objectively assessed using a signal-detection task based on a differential reinforcement schedule. Decreased reward responsiveness (i.e., the participants propensity to modulate behavior as a function of reward) was used as an operational measure of hedonic capacity. In both Study 1 (n = 88) and Study 2 (n = 80), participants with high PSS scores displayed blunted reward responsiveness and reported elevated anhedonic symptoms. Additionally, PSS scores predicted reduced reward responsiveness even after controlling for general distress and anxiety symptoms. These findings are consistent with preclinical data highlighting links between stress and anhedonia, and offer promising insights into potential mechanisms linking stress to depression.Psycholog

Molecular transport junctions: Current from electronic excitations in the leads
Using a model comprising a 2-level bridge connecting free electron reservoirs
we show that coupling of a molecular bridge to electron-hole excitations in the
leads can markedly effect the source-drain current through a molecular
junction.In some cases, e.g. molecules that exhibit strong charge transfer
transitions, the contribution from electron-hole excitations can exceed the
Landauer elastic current and dominate the observed conduction.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to PR
Mechanical modulation of single-electron tunneling through molecular-assembled metallic nanoparticles
We present a microscopic study of single-electron tunneling in nanomechanical
double-barrier tunneling junctions formed using a vibrating scanning nanoprobe
and a metallic nanoparticle connected to a metallic substrate through a
molecular bridge. We analyze the motion of single electrons on and off the
nanoparticle through the tunneling current, the displacement current and the
charging-induced electrostatic force on the vibrating nanoprobe. We demonstrate
the mechanical single-electron turnstile effect by applying the theory to a
gold nanoparticle connected to the gold substrate through alkane dithiol
molecular bridge and probed by a vibrating platinum tip.Comment: Accepted by Phys. Rev.
