Competition and cooperation problems in the energy sector of the Baltic region
This article considers the problems of competition and cooperation in the field of energy in the Baltic region, first of all, those related to the export of Russian oil and oil products, the Nord Stream gas pipeline, and the construction of nuclear plants in Poland, the Kaliningrad region, Lithuania, and Belarus. The author shows that, though Russia and the EU occasionally pursue opposite goals, there is considerable ...

The situation was similar to the import of goods: from 2011 to 2014, 37 European countries supplied 43—44 % of Russia’s merchandise imports, and in the period from 2015 to 2021 their share was 35—40 % [3].
In addition, in these ...

The increase in the share of the fuel industry and energy in the same year to 13.9 %, compared to 1.3 % in 1989, was a mere symptom of the crisis. Both sectors were in deep recession: oil production suffered from the increasingly complicated process of selling oil to the Mažeikiai refinery in Lithuania, whilst the power industry struggled to obtain electricity from the neighbouring state. Economic contraction continued until 1998....

Numerical solving the problem of detecting of ultraweak diffractors in a complex acoustical medium
Some results of numerical simulating of the problem of detecting of ultraweak diffractors in a complex acoustical medium are represented. The term “ultraweak” here means that the diffractors are not determined by standard depth migration. To solve the problem of detecting we use two procedures: Reverse Time Datuming (RTD) and Common Scattering Point (CSP). The first procedure (RTD) extends (synthetic) wave field from the day surface down to some level that is sufficiently close to diffractors...
