The Restructuring of the Soviet Economy and Prospects for Siberia's Development
This article begins with a critique of American views regarding the declining importance of Siberian development under Gorbachev. Drawing on statements by Gorbachev, as well as planning documents and research, this article argues that increased Siberian development is both an important part of Soviet regional policy and in its national interest. The nature of this future development and spatial relationships within Siberia are also discussed.
De-industrialization in west Siberia : was 'Tertiarization' realized in the 1990s?
This paper focuses on the disparity among subjects in West Siberia. The disparity has been generated by the deterioration of the industry in Kuznetsko-Altai Economic Sub-region and the outward orientation of natural recource extraction in West Siberia Economic Sub-region in 1990s. The blue-color recession not only accelerated the decline of employment in industry, but also restrained the expansion of service sector in Kuznetsko-Altai Economic Sub-region. Finally I consider the need of interdependence among subjects and revival of manufacturing as an alternative way to provide employment in West Siberia.
Researches on Structural Factor Involvement in Oral Tribology
This study is focused on two ceramic materials, D.SING (Ivoclar) and VM13 (emphasis the VITA TN), frequently used in restorative dentistry practice and it comes to complete a full set of results obtained by the authors over several years of research on oral tribology with main influence on oral health. In this way there are involved more specific structural aspects of dental restorative ceramic materials quality as is shown in [1].
