Information technologies as a basis for the modernization of Russian intellectual resources
This article is an attempt to validate the development of information technologies (IT) as a source for forming the core innovative trend, i. e., creative power, and upgrading national intellectual resources. A particular attention is paid to the possibilities of adopting IT in the national education system, distance learning, and accumulation of data resources. A number of measures is offered to make IT development more socially oriented and integrate national sciences, education, and industry with international innovation institutions as fast as possible. A conclusion is made that essential innovative principles must be urgently adopted to ensure further development of the Russian economy, improve its competitiveness, and upgrade intellectual power.
Science and innovation
This book examines an important phenomenon for competitiveness and innovation in industry: namely the growing use of scientific principles in industrial research. Industrial innovation still arises from systematic trial-and-error experiments with many designs and objects, but these experiments are being guided by a more rational understanding of phenomena. This has important implications for market structure, firm strategies and competition. Science and Innovation focuses on the pharmaceutical industry. It discusses the changes that the notable advances in the life sciences since the 1980s have exerted on the strategies of drug companies, the organization of their internal research, their relationships with scientific institutions, the division of labour between large pharmaceutical firms and small research-intensive suppliers, the productivity of drug discovery and the productivity of R & D.
Energy
Energy is often defined as the ability to do work. There are many forms of energy. A few examples include; Gravitational energy, Kinetic energy (energy of motion), Thermal energy (heat energy), Potential energy. Potential energy is the energy something has based on its position in the universe. A stretched elastic band has potential energy. A rock held up in the air has potential energy based on its position.
