The paper discusses the change of the influence of certain branches and branch changes on the economic growth, particularly the labor productivity observed in the last few decades. As a result the processing industry is replaced by the service sector, which gradually becomes dominating since 1970s. For this purpose it is proved with the results of a long-lasting work of the Groningen Growth and Development Centre (The Netherlands) concerning countries from European Union and USA in the second half of 20th century - mainly in 1980s and 1990s and until the middle of the first decade of 21st century. The achieved results give reasons for a change of the existing stylized facts formulated by N. Kaldor (1967), S. Kuznets (1971) and A. Maddison (1980). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper under scrutiny demonstrates numerical simulation results of thermal modes of the nanosatellite developed at the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute". It is designed to conduct scientific and applied research into the Earth remote sensing in the low Earth orbit with a solar pointing. In addition, we compare the obtained results with numerical simulation results of the "FalconSat-2" small satellite developed by the United States Air Force Academy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
