--The Russian forest sector is currently under pressure of an economic crisis. Average annual production of the roundwood has decreased about 3 times since 1989. Limited domestic demand for forest products restricts production growth and the development of the technology in forest industries. At the same time forest resources are not fully utilized. However, this situation may change in the fut...

This has adversely affected investment in the non-state sector, which has been the source of much of the dynamism in the Chinese economy since reform. Our analysis suggests that the current reform strategy for China’s financial sector, while important, will not solve this fundamental probl...

The main contribution of this paper is a new method for sliding surface sector design to reduce the chattering. A new approach enables a systematic design based on the key idea that the Tensor Product (TP) model transformation is capable of decomposing sectors, furthermore it can define a High Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD)-based canonical sector system. It is partially combination ...
