Ensuring stability of economic development, an energy and ecological safety is connected with increase in energy efficiency and decrease in power consumption of economy. The main indicator of resource intensity is power consumption. power consumption characterizes amounts of an energy consumption and fuel on the basic and auxiliary engineering procedures of production of products, performance of works, rendering services based on the set technological system. The Russian economy is one of the most power-intensive ...

The trace element composition of endorheic saline lakes (with total dissolved solids varies from 1 to 590 g/L) of the Altai Region (Russia) is of undoubted interest from the point of view of their mineral resources. Among the trace elements in lake waters, high content of boron (up to 78 mg/L), bromine (up to 820 mg/L), lithium (up to 3.6 mg/L), strontium (up to 13 mg/L), iodine (up to 6.3 mg/L), and arsenic (up to 0.6 mg/L) have been determined. The content of uranium in the investigated lakes varies over a wide ...

The paper presents research conducted in the city of Tyumen as a large Siberian industrial center to understand the factors of quality of the social space development.
