A Critical Review of Global Wind Power Generation

This research begins with an overview of wind development and installation-related trends, including trends in capacity growth. Development of wind power has reached a level of maturity, which could be taken upon for further novelty and growth in meeting the future energy needs in much greater proportion. Current research techniques are producing stronger, lighter and more efficient blades for the turbines. Computer-controlled wind plants give optimum power output from available winds. With respect to new capacity, wind power is currently one of the most inexpensive ways to produce electricity and it may have a significant role to play in a carbon-constrained world. The kinetic energy in the wind is a promising source of renewable energy with significant potential in many parts of the world. The energy that can be captured by wind turbines is highly dependent on the local average wind speed. The research reviews the global development of wind energy, development of the technology of wind turbines and the various parameters related to wind energy conversion. Many countries are expanding their dependency over wind energy for the production of electricity and this process is increasing exponentially year after year. The research also reviews the past, ongoing and future technological developments in wind energy conversion systems.
The Academic View Up Front: Towards a New Macroeconomics

One of the surprising developments in macroeconomics is the systematic incorporation of the paradigm of the utility maximizing forwardlooking and fully informed agent into macroeconomic models. The most successful implementations of these developments are to be found in the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models that are increasingly used in central banks for policy analysis (see Smets and Wouters, 2003, 2007). These developments are surprising. While macroeconomic theory enthusiastically embraced the view that agents fully understand the structure of the underlying models in which they operate, other sciences like psychology and neurology increasingly uncovered the cognitive limitations of individuals (see for example Kahneman, 2002; Camerer et al., 2005; Kahneman and Thaler, 2006; Della Vigna, 2007). We learn from these sciences that agents only understand small bits and pieces of the world in which they live, and instead of maximizing continuously taking all available information into account, agents use simple rules (heuristics) in guiding their behaviour and their forecasts about the future. The recent fi nancial crisis seems to support the view that agents have limited understanding of the big picture. If they had understood the full complexity of the fi nancial system they would have understood the lethal riskiness of the assets they massively took in their portfolios. In order to understand the nature of diff erent macroeconomic models it is useful to make a distinction between topdown and bottomup systems. In its most general defi nition a topdown system is one in which agents fully understand the system. These agents are capable of representing the whole system in a blueprint that they can store in their mind. Depending on their position in the system they can use this blueprint to take over the command, or they can use it to optimize their own private welfare. These are systems in which there is a onetoone mapping of the information embedded in the system and the information contained in the brain of one
Modeling of laser-plasma interaction on hydrodynamic scales: Physics development and comparison with experiments

The forthcoming laser installations related to inertial confinement fusion, Laser Megajoule (LMJ) (France) and National Ignition Facility (NIF) (USA), require multidimensional numerical simulation tools for interpreting current experimental data and to perform predictive modeling for future experiments. Simulations of macroscopic plasma volumes of the order of 1 mm^3 and laser exposure times of the order of hundreds of picoseconds are necessary. We present recent developments in the PARAX code towards this goal. The laser field is treated in a standard paraxial approximation in three dimensions. The plasma response is described by single-fluid, two-temperature, fully nonlinear hydrodynamical equations in the plane transverse to the laser propagation axis. The code also accounts for the dominant nonlocal transport terms in spectral form originating from a linearized solution to the Fokker–Planck equation. The simulations of interest are hohlraum plasmas in the case of indirect drive or the plasma corona for direct drive. Recent experimental results on plasma-induced smoothing of RPP laser beams are used to validate the code.

Community structure and positive interactions in constraining environments

plantinteractions in shaping these communities we quantified species co-occurrence andinteraction in seven environmentally distinct communities. These included fourdifferent semiarid habitats in southeast Spain, one alpine system in the SierraNevada range (Spain), and two sites in Venezuela, a secondary savanna nearCaracas (Altos de Pipe), and a sclerophyllous shrubland in the Gran Sabana plateau.We expected that facilitation would be stronger at sites with more spatial associations.The four semiarid sites in Spain and the shrubland in Gran Sabana showed a highdegree of positive species associations. Of the other two communities, one showed bothpositive and negative associations while negative ones predominated in Altos de Pipe.The direct experimental measure of neighbors’ effect showed that positive interactionsamong species prevailed in communities where positive species associations dominated.The appearance of benefactor species in patches increased species richness comparedwith the surrounding inter-shrub spaces. Our results provide a link between spatialpatterns and species interactions, where aggregation points to positive interactions andsegregation to competitive or interference effects. Facilitation appears as a relevantprocess shaping communities under environmental constraints.R. Tirado and F. I.

The Non-Pharmacological Treatment of Axis I Conditions in the Presence of Comorbid Personality Disorders: A Review of the Last Five Years.

This paper looks at the impact of comorbid personality disorders on the non-pharmacological treatment of Axis I disorders. It provides a review of the empirical literature on treating Axis I disorders in those who have a comorbid personality disorder. Research suggests that treating such persons provides some measure of symptomatic relief in the majority of cases. However, progress is often slower and overall level of functioning lower for those with personality disorders when compared to their non-personality disordered counterparts. Brief treatments for the Axis I disorders in those with comorbid personality disorders appear to be necessary but not sufficient. Some measure of success can be achieved in treating Axis I disorders, although gains may be less significant. Implications are discussed for further research. (Contains 66 references.)

The effect of calcium foliar fertilizers on cv. Ligol apples

The effects of calcium fertilizers on cv. Ligol apples were studied in the experiment conducted at the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture in 2007–2009. Fertilizers were applied four or eight times from June to September on the 8 th –9 th leaf of apple trees on P 22 rootstock. Calcium nitrate or liquid calcium fertilizers were used. The results dif fered over the years of experiment. During the first year, four applications of liquid calcium fertilizers significantly reduced the Mg/Ca ratio in fruit, whereas in 2008 the tendency of decrease in the ratios of K/Ca and Mg/Ca at both fertilizers was observed. The bitter pit incidence rate on stored apples of the 2007 yield was 1.5–3.0%. The eight ap plications of liquid calcium fertilizers significantly reduced the incidence of bitter pit after storage. In 2008, higher fruit calcium content and lower ratios of N/Ca, K/Ca, and Mg/Ca were detected. Moreover, these apples were not affected by bitter pit. The worse fruit quality of the 2007 yield could be linked to the abundant rainfall during 2007 vegetation season. However, the application of fertilizers had a positive effect on natural weight loss and fruit flesh firmness after storage.
Optimization of labor allocation at a syringe production facility : design proposals

At MD Medical (Singapore), the syringe value stream is facing escalating labor cost and high labor turnover. Therefore, optimization of the current labor resources is necessary to control the labor cost effectively without affecting the production capacity in order to stay competitive in the global context. A method used to design optimized labor allocations is outlined. Labor tasks were first categorized based on skill levels to form new job scopes. Following which, two new labor allocations were proposed. Both proposals feature flexible worker systems that reduce the response time to machines failures, as well as more focused job scopes to minimize work interruptions. New labor allocations facilitate the implementation of a skill-based pay system, which motivates employees to learn new skills. These two proposals can provide the benefits of higher production output and improved resource utilization.
The Economics of Vicarious Liability

Business principals frequently incur civil liability for the wrongs of their agents.1 If the wrong is not ordered, authorized, or encouraged by the principal, then his liability is "vicarious. " ' Hierarchy and delegation are so pervasive in modern business relationships that a staggering number of legal disputes directly or indirectly involve rules of vicarious liability.3 Under certain conditions, principals are vicariously liable for torts and unauthorized contracts of their agents. Corporate stockholders are vicariously liable for antitrust violations by their agents and for certain securities violations by their agents. Other forms of vicarious liability arise in many fields of business-related law. The objective of this Article is to develop a broad set of economic principles to explain and criticize important aspects of vicarious liability in all of its manifestations. The Article inquires whether a rule of vicarious liability, under which the principal and agent are jointly and severally liable" for the agent's wrongs, is economically efficient5 relative to a rule of
Corporate Branding in Botswana: A Content Analysis of Visual Brand Elements

The topic of corporate branding has stimulated immense academic attention. However, as the thrust of research on corporate branding concentrates on the West, little remains known about how firms in developing nations in Sub Sahara Africa deal with the challenge to communicate a sustainable image through branding. Therefore, the current study investigates specific corporate brand visual elements utilised by firms in Botswana as tools for communication, identification and differentiation. A sample of about 350 brands from different industries was collected from the local print media and content analysed. Overall findings demonstrate that a majority of firms in Botswana utilize a combination of full names, colour, logos and taglines in their corporate brands. Most frequently used being the full names that represent the background of the firm, blue or black colours that correspond to national colours, symbolic logos and taglines that emphasize the personality traits of competence and sincerity as well as the industry in which the firm operates. The significant use of a combination of visual elements signifies the importance that local firms attach to corporate branding. However, there is a need to improve on the use of taglines and consistency in the use of visual elements to exploit the advantages of corporate identity.

ACCRUAL AND REAL EARNINGS MANAGEMENT: ONE OF THE PERSPECTIVES OF PROSPECT THEORY

Earning management has become the practice in business. Yet, not all of the companies dothis earning management. The study aims to investigate earnings management behaviormeasured by real and accruals transactions i.e. abnormal cash flow of operation, abnormalproduction cost, abnormal discretionary, short-term discretionary accruals, and long-termdiscretionary accruals. The study applies a perspective of prospect theory to predict earningsmanagement behavior of management. In prospect theory, it is predicted that managers tendto manage earnings to avoid negative earnings. Positive earnings around zero is an indicationof earnings managed to avoid negative earnings. It shows that most of Indonesian publiccompanies tend to manage earnings based on real transactions than accruals transactions.All proxies of real earnings management support hypotheses that positive earnings aroundzero are managed through the real transactions. On contrary, only long-term discretionaryaccruals which support hypothesis revealing that positive earnings around zero is managedthrough accruals accounts. This result indicates that the Indonesian public companies engagein earnings management in accordance with the predictions of prospect theory, especiallythose based on real transactions.
Apolipoprotein D, apolipoprotein R and ST6GalNAc4 genes respond to clenbuterol administration in pig adipose tissue

Pig fat accumulation can be reduced by feeding pigs with high dosages of clenbuterol, but the molecular mechanism has not yet been well characterized. cDNA microarray and real-time PCR were used to identify the molecules potentially responding to clenbuterol in adipose cells. The mRNAs of 17 genes were found to be differentially expressed more than 2 fold (ratios of the expression levels in the test pigs to those in the control pigs of more than 2 or less than 0.5) by microarray analysis, including three lipid metabolism related genes (apolipoprotein D, apolipoprotein R and ST6GalNAc4). Eight genes were verified by real-time PCR, with six of them reproducing the result from microarray analyses. The results showed that apolipoprotein D, apolipoprotein R and ST6GalNAc4 genes respond to clenbuterol administration in pig adipose tissue and their functions may relate to fat accumulation reduction. Key words: Pig, clenbuterol, adipose, cDNA microarray, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Test-case-based call graph construction in dynamically typed programming languages

Evolving enterprise software systems is one of the most challenging activities of the software development process. An important issue associated with this activity is to properly comprehend the source code and other software assets that must be evolved. To assist developers on these evolution tasks, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) build tools that provides information about the source code and its dependencies. However, dynamically typed languages do not define types explicitly in the source code, which difficult source code analysis and therefore the construction of these tools. As an example, the call graph construction, used by IDE’s to build source code navigation tools, is hampered by the absence of type definition. To address the problem of constructing call graphs for dynamic languages, we propose a technique based on steps to build a call graph based on test runtime information, called test-case-based call graph. The technique is divided in three steps; Step #1 creates a conservative and static call graph that decides target nodes based on method names, and the first step also run tests profiling its execution; Step #2 combines the test runtime information and the conservative call graph built in the first step to create the test-case-based call graph, it also creates a set of association rules to guide developers in the maintenance while creating new pieces of code; Finally, Step #3 uses the test-case-based call graph and the association rules to assist developers in source code navigation tasks. Our evaluation on a large-size real-world software shows that the technique increases call graph precision removing several unnecessary conservative edges ( %70), and assist developers filtering target nodes of method calls based on association rules extracted from the call graph.
Satisfaction

Abstract The purpose of the study was to study the “short-term” visitors of mountainous destinations in order to gain a better understanding of this market and improve marketing practices. The objectives of the study were (a) to develop a measurement instrument on “short-term” visitors' satisfaction and (b) to segment “short-term” visitors of mountainous destinations based on their satisfaction. An anonymous questionnaire was given to 170 subjects who participated in a three-day trip organized by travel agencies to the mountainous region of Hepeiros, Greece, from November 2003 to February 2004. The questionnaire was given the last day of the trip and was answered by 115 individuals (68% response rate). A factor analysis followed by a cluster analysis on satisfaction was performed for identifying distinct tourist segments. Classification with discriminant analysis was used to test the two satisfaction segments. Furthermore, a Multivariate Analysis of Variance was employed to better describe the segments using demographics and physical activities as the dependent variables. The findings of the study provide theoretical and practical implications in identifying homogeneous segments, in predicting satisfaction level, and increasing marketing effectiveness.
Why do Europeans Migrate to Berlin? Social-Structural Differences for Italian, British, French and Polish Nationals in the Period between 1980 and 2002*

One of the main issues in migration research concerns the reasons migrants have for crossing borders. It is assumed in the research that migration is primarily economically driven. In recent studies, however, the importance of social and cultural reasons for migration has become apparent. In this context, the present contribution discusses the reasons for the migration of Europeans from Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Poland who moved to Germany (Berlin) between 1980 and 2002. In this case, it can be shown empirically that purely economic reasons play a lesser role in migration than is generally assumed, whereas social and cultural motives actually have a much greater influence. Primary data gathered in Berlin early in 2002 form the empirical foundation of the study. Multinomial logistic regressions are used to discuss the function of social-structural differences (e.g., nationality, age, gender, education, social origin) in the formation of individual reasons for migration.
Using Brothel Leadership to Improve Condom Use among Brothel-based Female Sex Workers in Abuja, Nigeria: Results of a Cluster Randomized Pilot Study

Support by brothel leaders and the promotion of a conducive environment for HIV prevention programs within brothel establishments are important to promote a safe working environment for Brothel-Based Female Sex Workers (BB FSWs). This study assesses the effects of a cluster randomized pilot trial examining the use of brothel leaders to improve consistent condom use by FSWs residing in brothels and also assessed the feasibility of implementing a similar intervention on a broader scale. Ten brothels in Abuja, Nigeria were randomized and exposed to the experimental (n=5) and control (n=5) arms of the intervention. The feasibility of the intervention and consistent condom use outcomes by FSWs with different partner types as well as condom negotiation self-efficacy were measured. Condom use outcomes and condom negotiation self-efficacy outcomes were analysed using multi-level mixed regression models. A total of 243 FSWs were recruited into the study (control n=66 and experimental n=177) and 107 of them (44%) were available at 16 weeks follow-up. The intervention demonstrated feasibility and positive outcomes for consistent condom use with boyfriends, casual partners and clients of FSWs were obtained. The interaction effect between condition and time indicated increased consistent condom use with boyfriends in the experimental condition (p=0.02). Adherence to the intervention by the FSWs was moderate with the mean sessions attended at 4.4(SD=2.0). The attrition rate during the intervention was high due to mobility of the FSWs. The intervention showed feasibility and effect outcomes indicate promise in enhancing condom use with steady partners of BB FSWs. The design of HIV prevention interventions may benefit from the inclusion of gatekeepers in the promotion of condom use within the brothel, but an adequately powered phase III trial is needed to inform large-scale implementation of this approach.
Biotechnological Reuse of Fruit Residues as a Rational Strategy for Agro-industrial Resources

Brazil, one of the largest agricultural producers in the world, has managed in recent years to significantly improve its production. However, in response to this advance in the agro-industrial sector, the generation of agro-industrial residues or sub-products has also increased, and its improper disposal may have a strong environmental impact, in addition to causing losses of raw materials and energy. In this context, the use of these residues as substrates for the production of high value-added compounds using semi-solid fermentation has been studied. Thus, the aim of this study was the physicalchemical characterization of pineapple and guava residues and their potential reuse in semi-solid cultivation. The results show that both residues are sources of bio-usable nutrients after a number of operational parameters of the bioprocess of choice are adjusted.
