The article is devoted to forecasting the development of small and medium- size businesses (SMEs) in Russia. The authors offer an algorithm of the identification of development tendencies for small and medium-sized businesses using linear equations. The medium-term econometric model of economic forecasting is based on the application of a set of dominating factors, which were previously selected. The authors present a medium-term trend of SMEs turnover in modern Russian conditions. 1. Абдуллаев...

This paper presents the results of observations of the dynamics of groundlevel aerosol made using two-wavelength (532, 1064 nm) atmospheric lidar (LSA-2S). The observations were made in December 2011 — January 2012 in the morning (8—10 h LT) in order to study the dynamics of aerosol during of the solar terminator period. In the observations revealed that appear aerosol characteristics oscillations with periods of 15—20 min during the period of the solar terminator. It is assumed that these oscillations...
