The article discusses the current characteristics and prospects for the development of the world energy market, as well as factors affecting the current market conditions. The key parameters have been identified that have a key impact on the formation of the characteristics of energy companies. The analysis of the fundamental goals and objectives of the management sector of Russian companies in the gas industry is carried out. The place, role and significance of production programs for the development of Russian companies in the gas industry have been determined. Harmonization of the management of the hierarchy of industrial relations in the formation and implementation of production programs is considered as a tool for the effective implementation of investment projects in the gas industry.

Cyberphysical systems (CPS) integrate embedded sensors, actuators, and computing elements for controlling physical processes. Due to the intimate interactions with the surrounding environment, CPS software must continuously adapt to changing conditions. Enacting adaptation decisions is often subject to strict time requirements to ensure control stability, while CPS software must operate within the tight resource constraints that characterize CPS platforms. Developers are typically left without dedicated programming support to cope with these aspects. This results in either to neglect functional or timing issues that may potentially arise or to invest significant efforts to implement hand-crafted solutions. We provide programming constructs that allow developers to simplify the specification of adaptive processing and to rely on well-defined time semantics. Our evaluation shows that using these constructs simplifies implementations while reducing developers' effort, at the price of a modest memory and processing overhead.

A study was undertaken of the history of cementing materials in which the historical-literary and archival investigation was combined with experimental study of many samples of cements, mortars and concretes from different buildings from different periods and nations and also with the historicoetymological study of special terms. Plasters used in Greco-Roman-Byzantine times and mortars of the middle ages were studied and their standards were compared with those of today. Comments are made on cements and construction in the Russian empire. Questions regarding the theory of hardening and corrosion of modern cements, mortars and concretes and problems relating to the strength and durability of modern buildings are considered.
