Рассмотрены ключевые задачи бизнес-процессов в подотрасли газораспределения и влияние на них стратегического планирования как инструмента управления...

The paper presents the results of study of the efficiency of Ukrainian gas distribution system after increasing the prices on imported natural gas. Author detects decreasing returns to scale, relatively high productivity and increased profitability in the sector of gas supply.

Flow maldistribution through the cell package affects the efficiency of the fuel cells, thus limiting the reliability and the diffusion of such a technology. This subject is a key-point in the progress of the fuel cells, so deserving the greatest attention and the most thorough research. This...

Natural gas can be used for satisfying population needs for heating, either directly by bringing the gas to the dwellings through the gas distribution system and combusting it in the domestic boiler (gas distribution system—G) or indirectly by combusting the natural gas in the heating plant...
