THE IMPACTS OF TRADE OPENNESS ON GROWTH, POVERTY, AND INEQUALITY IN VIETNAM: Evidence from Cross-Province Analysis

After having discussed the Vietnamese main trading specificities, this paper examines the effects of trade openness on growth, poverty reduction and inequality at the provincial level. Analysis of data over the period 1997 – 2000 suggest that openness would have contributed to growth and to poverty reduction on the one hand, but increased income disparity between the first and fifth quintiles on the other. Furthermore, the study highlights an inextricable relationship between openness and the State’s socio-economic role which aims to orchestrate the impact of trade on the Vietnamese economy during her transition. Hence, it is likely the ongoing debate about the effects of liberalization is outmoded: all the pragmatic question for developing and transition countries should be directly related to research on possibly efficient interventionism in the context of globalization.
A Novel Full Waveguide Band Orthomode Transducer

At millimeter and subrnillimeter wavelengths, cryogenically cooled receivers based on STS and HEB technologies are approaching the quantum limit in noise temperature. Further increase in sensitivity can be obtained by using dual-polarized operation. One of the principal components of a dual -polarization receiver is a polarization diplexer or orthomode transducer (0MT). Traditionally the OMT used in radio astronomy receivers is the wire grid, which can be large and bulky. A waveguide based OMT, on the other hand, can be integrated with the mixer blocks and cryogenically cooled thereby reducing ohmic losses. A waveguide based OMT also lends itself well to integration into focal-plane array receivers. In this paper, we present the design of a novel OMT that can be constructed using conventional split-block techniques. The design is based on the proposed Bd)ifot OMT by Wollack [1], but has been considerably modified to (a) make it easy to fabricate, and (b) make it scalable to I THz. The return loss is —20 dB or better over a full waveguide-band (r- 40% bandwidth), and the crosspolarization and isolation are better than —70 dB. Design details of a W-band OMT are presented.
Making restitution work : the challenge of building sustainable governance and institutional structures in public administration

Canada and New Zealand are recognised as leaders in implementing restitution programmes. Both countries saw fundamental changes in government policy shaped by the 1973 Calder decision and the Treaty of Waitangi Act, 1975. These changes in policy-making commenced from views that contested indigenous land claims and resources towards a two-way communication in which negotiations between communities became the key to success. The evolving agreements moved governments towards the stance that the settlement of claims are not so much a cost as it is a vehicle for addressing indigenous socioeconomic circumstances. Negotiated agreements set out to reflect the emergence of an economic development policy objective that emphasised traditional rights. The article highlights issues and trends that shape options for public administration in the development of governance structures that must be taken into consideration during the planning and design of restitution programmes in rural, peri-urban and urban areas. Creating sustainable post-settlement support for restitution is a major task as outcomes in the local sphere are interwoven with rights to land and resources that co-exist with the traditional and broader communal management systems. Public administrators are thus faced with major challenges in matching the needs of local government with that of rural development. At the core of restitution lie communication, entrepreneurship and business development, each a critical element in finding sustainable pathways to meet the needs of communities and improve the quality of their lives.
Using the Law to Achieve Environmental Democracy and Sustainable Development: an Elusive Dream for Trinidad and Tobago

The concept of sustainable development emerged to offer a fresh perspective on the traditional developmental paradigm and to attempt to provide global consensus as to how to achieve sound environmental goals in a world characterized by economic disparities. In Trinidad and Tobago, the new environmental regime, which was introduced in 1995, had at its cornerstone a two-pronged approach to environmental protection. The first was the introduction of the requirement for special approval of a list of designated activities covering the major economic sectors of Trinidad and Tobago. This approval process contemplated resolution of major environmental impacts associated with specific economic activities prior to any approval being granted for such activities. The second prong was a permitting system that would see a gradual reduction in the output of pollutants from existing industry. The aim, therefore, was the stabilisation of the output of pollutants by controlling the actions of new economic players and the gradual reduction of the existing pollution inventory through the permitting system. This paper will focus specifically on the use of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) process for the making of developmental decisions with a brief examination of how the permitting process works in Trinidad and Tobago.
Compensation for Harmonic Flux and Current of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor by Injected Harmonic Voltage

High-order harmonic flux and current of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) are generated by the distortion of air-gap magnetic field and the nonlinear characteristics of inverter, resulting in the ripple of electromagnetic torque. In this paper, a novel harmonic compensation algorithm was proposed to solve this problem. Based on the harmonic model of the PMSM, harmonic voltage is injected to reduce harmonic components of the motor flux and current. By extraction of harmonic flux/current and injection of harmonic voltage in real-time, high-order harmonics of flux generated by the distortion of air-gap magnetic field and the nonlinear characteristics of inverter is counteracted. Thereby, distortion of motor current is reduced. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated by simulation and experimentation.

On the similarity relation within fuzzy ontology components

Ontology reuse is an important research issue. Ontology merging, integration, mapping, alignment and versioning are some of its subprocesses. A considerable research work has been conducted on them. One common issue to these subprocesses is the problem of defining similarity relations among ontologies components. Crisp ontologies become less suitable in all domains in which the concepts to be represented have vague, uncertain and imprecise definitions. Fuzzy ontologies are developed to cope with these aspects. They are equally concerned with the problem of ontology reuse. Defining similarity relations within fuzzy context may be realized basing on the linguistic similarity among ontologies components or may be deduced from their intensional definitions. The latter approach needs to be dealt with differently in crisp and fuzzy ontologies. This is the scope of this paper.
DNA-based Species Identification and Population Genetics of the Eastern Subterranean Termite, Reticulitermes flavipes, in the Southern Appalachian Mountains

This study investigates the distribution patterns of Reticulitermes flavipes, an important recycler of nutrients and well-known destroyer of man-made structures, in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. As a precursor to this work, it was first necessary to distinguish the target species from other co-occurring termite species. To combat this problem, a modified Polymerase Chain Reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay that uses a 384-bp segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) gene was designed. To test the accuracy of this tool, predictions made from using this method were compared to predictions made by genetic sequencing. This modified PCR-RFLP test will make it easier to identify the species of Reiticulitermes found in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of the United States. Next, I used DNA sequences from portions of the COI and COII mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and COII genes from 50 samples of R. flavipes obtained throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountains to examine the genetic diversity and phylogeographic history of this species. Because of the dependence of Reticulitermes on forests for sustenance and habitat, populations of R. flavipes probably retreated into sheltered refuges during the Last Glacial Maximum (~20,000 years ago) when the distribution of the trees they depended on contracted due to the cooler temperatures and limited precipitation. One hypothesis for the distribution of genetic diversity within species that are dependent on timberlines during glacial maxima is that the most southern areas served as a large refuge while northern areas lost their trees and consequently the invertebrates that depended on them. Areas that lost their invertebrates were later recolonized by a subset of invertebrates that survived in the large southern refuge. This idea was tested here by separating R. flavipes termite samples into groups based on geographic location and natural barriers to dispersal and looking at genetic diversity for each group. The results from these analyses were inconsistent with the hypotheses of a single southern refuge because the most northern portion of the Southern Appalachian Mountains was indicated to be more stable the central regions due to its high level of genetic diversity and genetic signatures from mismatch distribution analyses. Overall, this finding suggests alternative hypotheses warrant further investigation.
A Single Gyroscope Can Be Used to Accurately Determine Peak Eversion Velocity during Locomotion at Different Speeds and in Various Shoes

Gyroscopes have been used in previous studies to measure the peak angular velocity of the shoe or foot in the frontal plane (evVel). However, it is not clear whether different test conditions (footwear hardness or locomotion speed) can influence the accuracy of evVel. The purpose of the present study was to compare the accuracy of gyroscopes and electrogoniometers when measuring evVel and the time until evVel (t_evVel) in 12 different conditions using a single axis gyroscope attached to the heel cap. Twenty-four recreational runners were instructed to walk and run on a 15-m indoor track at four locomotion speeds (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 m/s, and individual running speed) and in three footwear conditions (low to high hardness). The gyroscope data and electrogoniometer data were sampled at a rate of 1000 Hz. Comparisons between both measurement devices showed small mean differences up to 49.8 ± 46.9 deg/s for evVel and up to 5.3 ± 3.5 ms for t_evVel. Furthermore, strong relationships between gyroscope and electrogoniometer data were found for evVel as well as for t_evVel for all conditions. It can be concluded that gyroscopes can be used to accurately determine evVel and t_evVel under a variety of conditions.
A power autonomous monopedal robot

We present the design and initial results of a power-autonomous planar monopedal robot. The robot is a gasoline powered, two degree of freedom robot that runs in a circle, constrained by a boom. The robot uses hydraulic Series Elastic Actuators, force-controllable actuators which provide high force fidelity, moderate bandwidth, and low impedance. The actuators are mounted in the body of the robot, with cable drives transmitting power to the hip and knee joints of the leg. A two-stroke, gasoline engine drives a constant displacement pump which pressurizes an accumulator. Absolute position and spring deflection of each of the Series Elastic Actuators are measured using linear encoders. The spring deflection is translated into force output and compared to desired force in a closed loop force-control algorithm implemented in software. The output signal of each force controller drives high performance servo valves which control flow to each of the pistons of the actuators. In designing the robot, we used a simulation-based iterative design approach. Preliminary estimates of the robot's physical parameters were based on past experience and used to create a physically realistic simulation model of the robot. Next, a control algorithm was implemented in simulation to produce planar hopping. Using the joint power requirements and range of motions from simulation, we worked backward specifying pulley diameter, piston diameter and stroke, hydraulic pressure and flow, servo valve flow and bandwidth, gear pump flow, and engine power requirements. Components that meet or exceed these specifications were chosen and integrated into the robot design. Using CAD software, we calculated the physical parameters of the robot design, replaced the original estimates with the CAD estimates, and produced new joint power requirements. We iterated on this process, resulting in a design which was prototyped and tested. The Monopod currently runs at approximately 1.2 m/s with the weight of all the power generating components, but powered from an off-board pump. On a test stand, the eventual on-board power system generates enough pressure and flow to meet the requirements of these runs and we are currently integrating the power system into the real robot. When operated from an off-board system without carrying the weight of the power generating components, the robot currently runs at approximately 2.25 m/s. Ongoing work is focused on integrating the power system into the robot, improving the control algorithm, and investigating methods for improving efficiency.
Application of Hybrid Boundary Element Method - Example of Semishperical Ground Inhomogeneity

One new, so-called hybrid boundary element method (HBEM) is presented in this paper. It is a recently proposed numerical method for stationary and quasi-stationary EM field analysis. The method application is illustrated on the example of solving the problem of modelling hemispherical ground inhomogeneity influence on grounding system. The applied procedure also includes using of quasi-stationary image-theory. The obtained results are compared with those ones based on using the Green's function for the point source inside semi-spherical inhomogeneities as well as with the results obtained by applying COMSOL program package.
A Random Multi-Trajectory Generation Method for Online Emergency Threat Management (Analysis and Application in Path Planning Algorithm)

This paper presents a novel randomized path planning algorithm, which is a goal and homology biased sampling based algorithm called Multiple Guiding Attraction based Random Tree, and robots can use it to tackle pop-up and moving threats under kinodynamic constraints. Our proposed method considers the kinematics and dynamics constraints, using obstacle information to perform informed sampling and redistribu- tion around collision region toward valid routing. We pioneeringly propose a multiple path planning method using ‘ Extending Forbidden ’ algorithm, rather than using variant cost principles for online threat management. The threat management method performs online path switching between the planned multiple paths, which is proved with better time performance than conventional approaches. The proposed method has advantage in exploration in obstacle crowded environment, where narrow corridor fails using the general sampling based exploration methods. We perform detailed comparative experiments with peer approaches in cluttered environment, and point out the advantages in time and mission performance.
Use of anthocyanin extracted from natural plant materials to develop a pH test kit for measuring effluent from animal farms

The aim of this work was to study the optimal conditions for anthocyanin extraction from natural plant materials in order to develop a pH test kit. The plant materials used were butterfly pea flower (BPF), roselle red flower (RRF) and dragon fruit peel (DFP). The solvents used in this study were distilled water, 1% HCl/95% ethanol (HE), 0.1 N acetic acid, 0.5% vinegar and 20% white liquor. A plant materialto-solvent ratio of 5: 50 (w/v) and an extraction time of 2 h were employed. The result shows that BPF could produce the highest average yield of anthocyanins, and that HE was the optimal solvent. Anthocyanins from the BPF+HE extract yielded the best properties for buffers in various pH, produced easily classifiable pH ranges, and were the most suitable to develop a pH test kit. In conclusion, the pH test kit developed by this method can be used for effluent measurement and will provide results similar in term of accuracy to those produced by a commercial pH test kit and a field pH meter.
OPTICAL BISTABILITY CONTROLLED USING ADD-DROP MOBIUS MICRORING RESONATOR SYSTEM

The theoretical investigation has been performed on the implementation of optical Mobius shape in add-drop microring resonator. The modified add-drop Mobius configuration is used to investigate the optical bistability and the spectral transmission. The optical bright soliton pulse is used as the input source of the resonator system. The pulses propagation of the resonator system is modelled using the iterative programming based on the transfer matrix analysis equations. The enhancement of nonlinear effect of the resonator system is achieved by the add-drop Mobius resonator configuration. The system has been modelled for a variation of coupling coefficient for increase the bistable signal properties. The Add-drop Mobius MRR generated a bistable signal with 6.01 mW hysteresis width, and 9.47 mW output switch power with optimized radius of 5 µm outer and 4.5 m inner ring parts with 50 mW controlled power and input power. Mobius configuration is found as the better shape of resonator cavity that capable of optical switching application.
Income Effects of a Demogrant: the Universal Child Care Benefit and the Labour Supply of Canadians

In this study I use Canadian Labour Force Survey data (2003-2009) to estimate the effect of the Universal Child Care Benefit a $100 (per month per child under age 6) demogrant, first distributed in July 2006 on the labour supply of married Canadian men and women age 25-49. Using a differences-indifferences estimator, I find the demogrant reduces the labour supply of women but does not significantly affect the labour supply of men. Lower-educated women reduced their weekly hours of work by 1 hour and their participation in the labour force by 2.44 percentage points when receiving the demogrant. For higher educated women, the UCCB does not appear to have an effect on the extensive margin, but does significantly affect hours worked. The differences-indifferences estimates are supported by estimates based on a regression discontinuity design, which also suggests strong negative effects on the labour market activity of lower-educated women.

Antibacterial activity study of a mucoadhesive suspension containing ciprofloxacin

Considering various effects of mucoadhesive suspension containing Ciprofloxacin, it was found that newly designed mucoadhesive formulation was better than its conventional immediate release preparation. Due to that their in vitro antibacterial activity was also studied and compared. It was found that the newly designed mucoadhesive formulation showed much larger zones of inhibition against all the strains used in the study than the conventional immediate release preparation. In addition, this novel formulation and even the standard discs of Ciprofloxacin produced more or less similar zones of inhibition. However, the conventional immediate release preparation was much inferior to the standard discs as far as the zones of inhibition were concerned.
An algorithm to find all identical internal sequence repeats

Proteins containing amino acid repeats are considered to be of great importance in evolutionary studies. The principal mechanism of formation of amino acid repeats is by the duplication or recombination of genes. Thus, repeats are found in both nucleotide and protein sequences. In proteins, repeats are involved in protein-protein interactions as well as in binding to other ligands such as DNA and RNA. The study of internal sequence repeats would be helpful to scientists in various fields, including structural biology, enzymology, phylogenetics, genomics and proteomics. Hence an algorithm (Finding All Internal Repeats, FAIR) has been designed utilizing the concepts of dynamic programing to identify the repeats. The proposed algorithm is a faster and more efficient method to detect internal sequence repeats in both protein and nucleotide sequences, than those found in the literature. The algorithm has been implemented in $C^{++}$ and a web-based computing engine, IdentSeek, has been developed to make FAIR accessible to the scientific community. IdentSeek produces a clear, detailed result (including the location of the repeat in the sequence and its length), which can be accessed through the world wide web at the URL http://bioserver1.physics. iisc.ernet. in/ident/.
To Follow Expert Advice When Making a Decision: An Examination of Reactive Versus Reflective Autonomy

The present study examined whether reactive and reflective autonomy moderated individuals' responses to expert influence. Participants were given the opportunity to win money at a racetrack betting task for which they were provided with objective information about horses' previous perfor- mances along with specific expert recommendations. The experts were made to look either credible or noncredible by manipulating information on the success rate of their previous predictions. The results showed that the two forms of
