Geodemography of the Saint Petersburg Suburbs

In this article, we analyse the structure and the development dynamics of the Saint Petersburg suburbs - home to over 1.6 million people. To this end, we employ statistical, historical, and empirical research methods and carry out a comparative analysis. Geodemographic studies should take into account not only demographic data but also the characteristics of the settlement system. Such studies are particularly important for suburbs. Russian social geography pays little attention to suburban studies, although such territories have become an independent object of research in international geographical science. The Saint Petersburg suburbs are of special interest from the perspective of geodemography, which is explained by the significant size of the area - a result of the territory’s historical development. The formation of the settlement system of the Saint Petersburg suburbs started with the foundation of the city, and continues to this day. Today, their spatial structure is shaped by the current administrative border between Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region - a product of the territory’s development in the Soviet period of Russia’s history. The lengthy process of border formation has given it a peculiar character. The most vibrant and attractive areas of the suburbs are located at a distance of 14-32 km from the centre of Saint Petersburg, between the isochrones of forty- and ninety-minute transport accessibility. Lying at a distance of approximately 60 km from the city centre, the two-hour travel time band marks the border of both the commuter zone and the Saint Petersburg agglomeration. A new settlement system is emerging within the suburban area of Saint Petersburg - the most economically, demographically, and socially vibrant territory of Russia’s North-West

ASSESSMENT OF INVESTMENT APPEAL OF THE PROJECT ON THE BASIS OF AN INDICATOR OF A STRATEGIC PRIORITY

In the article the indicator of a strategic priority for selection of investment attractive projects is considered, and also the method of its assessment is offered. Practical application of this indicator allows to estimate the project on its compliance to the available strategy of the enterprise and to take necessary administrative actions

METHODS OF EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CREDIT INSTITUTION AT THE PRESENT STAGE

A number of scientific and practical aspects of assessment of efficiency of activity of commercial bank is considered. On the basis of the conducted research authors gives offers on increase in bank income and decrease in risk on the basis of banking products with the built-in options. By results of the conducted research the conclusion on influence of change of a key interest rate on income of commercial banks at management of liquidity in the conditions of percentage risk. Methods of modeling of interest income of bank are presented

THE ANALYSIS OF CURRENT STATE AND PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL OF DOMESTIC KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE INDUSTRIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES)

Article is devoted to a complex research of opportunities and obstacles of development of capacity of domestic knowledge-intensive branches. As a key branch the aviation industry is chosen. Authors considered a problem of efficiency of the organization and performance of research works in domestic aircraft industry. The results of a research received when carrying out the comparative, horizontal and vertical analysis of effectiveness of the Russian scientific organizations and similar foreign companies are stated. Following the results of a research authors drew a conclusion on prevalence of low stability of financing of aviation science that leads to increase in risk of not achievement of target level of characteristics in the set terms and insufficiency of a scientific and technical reserve

Phase transitions on the surface of a carbon nanotube

A suspended carbon nanotube can act as a nanoscale resonator with remarkable electromechanical properties and the ability to detect adsorption on its surface at the level of single atoms. Understanding adsorption on nanotubes and other graphitic materials is key to many sensing and storage applications. Here we show that nanotube resonators offer a powerful new means of investigating fundamental aspects of adsorption on carbon, including the collective behaviour of adsorbed matter and its coupling to the substrate electrons. By monitoring the vibrational resonance frequency in the presence of noble gases, we observe the formation of monolayers on the cylindrical surface and phase transitions within these monolayers, and simultaneous modification of the electrical conductance. The monolayer observations also demonstrate the possibility of studying the fundamental behaviour of matter in cylindrical geometry.Comment: Unpublished; 7 pages with 4 figures plus 3 pages of supplementary materia
