title: Books of advice for princes in fifteenth century England with particular reference to the period 1450-1485
Creators: name: Kekewich, Margaret Lucille
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: The Introduction addresses the difficulty of providing a precise definition of the genre of books of advice to princes. Particular books have been selected because they were owned by or produced for an English prince during the period extending from the early fifteenth century to 1485. The first four chapters are devoted to a consideration of authoritative works which were translated from Latin or French and to treatises which were specially composed for a prince. The anonymous Tractatus de Regimine Principuin, Ashby's Active Policy of a Prince and the Fastolf/Worcester production, the Boke of Noblesse are largely original works. Their contents are subjected to a more extended analysis and the view of good princely government they contain is discussed. Chapter 5 starts with an account of the political writings of Sir John Fortescue, particular attention is paid to the De Laudibus Legum Anglie and the Governance of England as it is claimed that they belong to the genre of books of advice. An attempt is then made from a close examination of the internal evidence to assign a date to the Governance and extend understanding of the circumstances of its composition. The final chapter reviews contemporary documents for indications that the ideas and assumptions of the rulers and their followers were influenced by the precepts contained in books of advice. It is suggested that princely regard for these works can be demonstrated and that their impact must he seen in the wider context of the ethical values to which contemporary society subscribed. There are, however, indications in some popular manifestos, parliamentary petitions and the works of Fortescue of a growing unease at placing undue reliance on the personal qualities of a prince. The need to establish constitutional devices which would negate the weakness of a particular king was increasingly recognised.

description: We investigate the shape of the Rotation Curves (RCs) of $z\sim 1$ star-forming galaxies and compare them with the local star-forming galaxies. For this purpose, we have used $409$ galaxies from the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) for Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS). This sample covers the redshift range $0.57\leq z \leq 1.04$, effective radii $0.69 \leq R_e \left[kpc \right] \leq 7.73$, absolute H-band magnitude $-24.46 \leq M_H \leq -18.85$ with median stellar mass $log\left(M_* \ \left[M_\odot \right]\right)=9.95$ and median total star-formation rate $log\left(SFR_{tot} \ \left[M_\odot \ yr^{-1} \right]\right)=1.49$. Using $^{3D}$BAROLO (Barolo), we extract $Hα$ kinematic maps and corresponding Rotation Curves (RCs). The main advantage of Barolo is that it incorporates the beam smearing in the 3D observational space, which provide us with the intrinsic rotation velocity even in the low spatial resolution data. Using Asymmetric Drift Correction (ADC), we have corrected the RCs for the pressure gradient effect, which seems to be a more dominant effect than beam smearing in high-z galaxies.

description: This research includes four chapters covering all aspects related to biogas production technologies and their utilization in various fields of modern life: In the first chapter, the structure and composition of biogas, its properties, the principle of its formation and its acquisition were stated. The organic waste producing biogas was reviewed in a simple manner. In addition, the factors affecting biogas production and the physical and chemical tests of wastes that will be subjected to anaerobic digestion were explained in detail. In the second chapter, the biogas production facilities and their components were discussed, with a distinction between biogas resulting from landfills and other one from anaerobic digesters. The methods of producing biogas and the cost of energy recovery were explained. In the third chapter, the operation and maintenance of biogas production units were discussed and the various stages of operation of the anaerobic reactor (fermenter) were explained, starting from filling the fermenter with waste and ending with the use of biogas in the stoves. Possible problems and malfunctions during operation were also addressed, with their causes and how to remedy them. Finally, an example of operating and investing an anaerobic reactor was given. In the fourth chapter, the applications of biogas technology were discussed, as the inputs and outputs of bio-digester were presented, in addition to the environmental and economic benefits resulting from the generation of biogas. At the end of the chapter, biogas production in the Syrian Arab Republic was addressed. The obstacles facing the dissemination and application of this technology in the country were discussed, as well as its environmental and economic feasibility. The experience of As-Suwayda governorate in establishing biogas plants was reviewed and how farmers benefited from them after 8 months of their establishment

Im Laufe des Pleistozäns lassen sich für Hippopotamus drei und für Bubalus zwei Einwanderungsphasen unterscheiden, nur im letzten Interglazial kamen beide Arten zusammen vor. Macaca fehlt trotz des regelmäßigen Vorkommens in früheren Interglazialen gerade im letzten. Das deutet daraufhin, daß nicht nur klimatische Faktoren die Einwanderung der Exoten bestimmen und sich die Intensität eines Interglazials nicht an den Einwanderern ablesen läßt.

description: Ursprünglicher Titel der Dissertation: «Manfred Mohr's Algorithms & Sol LeWitt's Concepts: Towards an Aesthetics of Algorithmic Art»
description: The central argument of the present dissertation is that aesthetics as a theory of sensation is no longer sufficient in the realm of algorithmic art. The point of departure for this argument is the observation that the algorithmic image rests on the fact that only its appearance on the computer screen, or its projection on a piece of paper or canvas, can be perceived by the senses. For its part, the underlying computer program that generates the image remains hidden to the observer. Nevertheless – as the thesis demonstrates – one cannot ignore what occurs on the invisible side of the algorithmic image, since its perceptible presentation strongly depends upon its computational basis. With this in mind, the dissertation points towards an aesthetics that presupposes - in addition to sensory perception - the viewer's ability to think in abstract terms: in other words, to reflect on the structural logic of a visual work as well as the processes that generate it, rather than merely contemplating its visual content. Following the computer semiotics studies, this way of thinking is referred to as algorithmic thinking in the present research. By applying algorithmic thinking to a selection of Manfred Mohr’s algorithmic works, this thesis elaborates aesthetic principles according to which it might be possible to characterize algorithmic art. Towards this goal, the study focuses on the visible representation and the computable basis of algorithmic images as units of analysis. As the thesis shows, the elaborated aesthetic characteristics of algorithmic art can also in principle be discerned in Conceptual Art. Therefore, to illustrate that the aesthetics of algorithmic art can nevertheless lay claim to a novel character and does not merely replicate essential aesthetics of art practices that rely on traditional (i.e. non-computer) media, the dissertation analyzes Mohr’s algorithmic works in a comparative perspective to Sol LeWitt’s conceptual pieces.

description: Das Torfmuseum in Neustadt am Rübenberge (a. Rbge.) entstand aus einer wissenschaftlichen Belegsammlung des ehemaligen Torﬁnstitutes in Hannover. Dieses Institut war 1911 gegründet worden, um die industrielle Verwertbarkeit von Torf zu erforschen. Das erste Torfmuseum war 1980 im Dachgeschoß des Schlosses Landestrost aus dem 16. Jahrhundert auf kleinem Raum eröffnet worden. Im Rahmen einer späteren Modernisierung und Vergrößerung der Räume wurde die Ausstellung neu konzipiert und 1991 der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Anliegen des Museums ist es heute, die Geschichte der Einschätzung der Moore durch den Menschen aufzuzeigen, die sich innerhalb der letzten drei Jahrhunderte grundlegend gewandelt hat: Vom wertlosen Ödland über Siedlungsland und Rohstofflagerstätte zum Naturschutzgebiet.
description: The Peat Museum at Neustadt originates from the scientific collection of the former Peat Institute at Hannover. That institute had been founded in 1911 to do research on the industrial utilization of peat. The original Peat Museum, which was founded in 1980, was situated in several small rooms in the attic storey of Landestrost Castle, a 16th century building. When the whole castle was being renovated in the 19808, the museum's rooms were enlarged and modernized. A new concept was worked out for the exhibition, which was re-opened to the public in I991. The basic idea now is to show the history of the value of peatbogs to man, which has changed during the last three hundred years from worthless wasteland to land of settlement and deposit of raw material to nature reserve.

description: Motivated by recent advances in Donaldson-Thomas theory, four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ string-string duality is examined in a reduced rank theory on a less studied BPS sector. In particular we identify candidate partition functions of "untwisted" quarter-BPS dyons in the heterotic $\mathbb{Z}_2$ CHL model by studying the associated chiral genus two partition function, based on the M-theory lift of string webs argument by Dabholkar and Gaiotto. This yields meromorphic Siegel modular forms for the Iwahori subgroup $B(2) \subset \text{Sp}_4 (\mathbb{Z}) $ which generate BPS indices for dyons with untwisted sector electric charge, in contrast to twisted sector dyons counted by a multiplicative lift of twisted-twining elliptic genera known from Mathieu moonshine. The new partition functions are shown to satisfy the expected constraints coming from wall-crossing and S-duality symmetry as well as the black hole entropy based on the Gauss-Bonnet term in the effective action. In these aspects our analysis confirms and extends work of Banerjee, Sen and Srivastava, which only addressed a subset of the untwisted sector dyons considered here. Our results are also compared with recently conjectured formulae of Bryan and Oberdieck for the partition functions of primitive DT invariants of the CHL orbifold $X=( \text{K3} \times T^2 )/ \mathbb{Z}_2$, as suggested by string duality with type IIA theory on $X$.

description: Mueller matrices map incoming to outgoing partially-polarized states. Given a Mueller measurement and a model of the polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function (pBRDF) of an object, an inverse problem estimates object attributes. Since polarized light scattering depend on illumination, wavelength, material, and shape of an object many inverse problems are plausible. In particular, the inverse problem of shape and depth from-polarization, has applications in computer vision and graphics.

description: We show that with probability 1, the trace B[0,1] of Brownian motion in space, has positive capacity with respect to exactly the same kernels as the unit square. More precisely, the energy of occupation measure on B[0,1] in the kernel f(|x-y|), is bounded above and below by constant multiples of the energy of Lebesgue measure on the unit square. (The constants are random, but do not depend on the kernel.) As an application, we give almost-sure asymptotics for the probability that an alpha-stable process approaches within epsilon of B[0,1], conditional on B[0,1]. The upper bound on energy is based on a strong law for the approximate self-intersections of the Brownian path. We also prove analogous capacity estimates for planar Brownian motion and for the zero-set of one-dimensional Brownian motion.

Prediction of graft-versus-host disease based on supervised temporal analysis on high-throughput flow cytometry data
Creators: name: Lee, Shang-Jung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Despite recent advancements in human immune-genetics, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) continues to be the major and potentially fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantations affecting up to 80% of transplant patients [1]. Very little is known regarding the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind the manifestation of either acute or chronic GvHD. Diagnosis and treatment assessment are often hindered as they rely primarily on ambiguous clinical symptoms, such as tissue inflammation. It is likely that the outcome for patients diagnosed with GvHD could be improved if they were treated in a pre-emptive fashion, before the development of full-scale clinical symptoms. Using flow cytometry high content screening [2], 123 subsets of immune cells were identified from blood samples taken at multiple time points from 31 patients who underwent allogenic bone marrow transplantations. I assembled a novel analysis pipeline specifically designed to process this high-throughput clinical flow cytometry dataset. The pipeline included a novel quality assurance test [3] and temporal classification via functional linear discriminant analysis [4]. Temporal patterns of multiple immune cell abundances both after the transplantation and around the acute GvHD diagnosis were screened for potential discriminative power for either acute or chronic GvHD. Among many potential discriminative patterns: higher proportion values in immune cell with CD3⁺CD4⁺CD8β⁺ phenotype were found in acute GvHD patients (21), compared to the patients unaffected by GvHD (3), between zero and 120 days post-transplant. I also generated a list of recommendations for an extended study designed to validate the current findings. The global approach of the highthroughput flow cytometry technique and the novel temporal analysis pipeline, implemented according to the list of recommendations would be beneficial in elucidating pathophysiologic mechanisms of complex immunologically based diseases including GvHD.

description: We study the effects of halo substructure and a distribution in the concentration parameter of haloes on large-scale structure statistics. The effects on the power spectrum and bispectrum are studied on the smallest scales accessible from future surveys. We compare halo-model predictions with results based on N-body simulations, but also extend our predictions to 10-kpc scales which will be probed by future simulations. We find that weak-lensing surveys proposed for the coming decade can probe the power spectrum on small enough scales to detect substructure in massive haloes. We discuss the prospects of constraining the mass fraction in substructure in view of partial degeneracies with parameters such as the tilt and running of the primordial power spectrum.

Die Unterscheidung von Torfarten in der bodenkundlichen und geologischen Kartierung
Differentiating different types of peat in pedological and geological mapping
Creators: name: Caspers, Gerfried
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2010

description: Abstract: Mapping peat in drained and utilised peatlands is an important classification criterion. Peatlands are explored with boreholes for the purposes of pedological and geological mapping. The peat has to be identified and classified on the basis of criteria which are recognisable in the field and require no additional laboratory analysis or binocular or microscopic analysis. This premise considerably reduces the number of analysable plant constituents. This report looks only at the peat types and plant constituents that can be identified in this way, and includes supporting photographs. This method closely follows the pedological mapping instructions (KA 5). Instructions on the verifiability boundaries of peat and plant constituents dependent on the degree of humification are also provided. The drilling method usually used in peat bog mapping and the accompanying problems are also discussed.
description: Zusammenfassung: Die Kartierung der Torfe ist in entwässerten und genutzten Mooren ein wichtiges Kriterium, um diese zu klassifizieren. In der bodenkundlichen und geologischen Kartierung werden die Moore zu diesem Zweck durch Bohrungen aufgeschlossen. Die Torfe müssen nach Kriterien angesprochen werden, die im Gelände erkennbar sind und keine weiteren Untersuchungen im Labor sowie unter dem Binokular oder Mikroskop erfordern. Die Anzahl der analysierbaren pflanzlichen Bestandteile in Torfen reduziert sich unter dieser Prämisse beträchtlich. Nur die so unterscheidbaren Torfarten und pflanzlichen Bestandteile werden in dem vorliegenden Beitrag beschrieben und durch Fotos veranschaulicht. Dabei erfolgt eine enge Anlehnung an die bodenkundliche Kartieranleitung (KA 5). Zusätzlich werden Hinweise zu den Nachweisbarkeitsgrenzen der Torfe und Pflanzenreste in Abhängigkeit von der Humifizierung gegeben. Das in der Moorkartierung gängige Bohrverfahren sowie dabei auftretende Schwierigkeiten werden beschrieben.

Effect of six-sided pillars on epithelial cell behaviour
Creators: name: Nematollahi, Mandana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A desirable attribute of implants penetrating epithelium is the inhibition of inward migration of epithelial cells. This inward epithelial migration can be inhibited by the ingrowth of connective tissue on grooved substrata. Very few studies have focused on the direct effect of geometrically more complex topographies on epithelial migration. We examined the migration, morphology, cytoskeletal organization and proliferation of epithelial cells cultured on a novel complex topography comprising square floors surrounded by six-sided pillars and compared these properties to those of cells cultured on smooth control surfaces. Relative to smooth surface, cells had a reduced velocity but a higher persistence in their direction of migration on the pillar substrata. Vinculin staining demonstrated that cells formed adhesions on pillar tops, in gaps and on the walls. Attachments on pillar tops were mature plaques while the adhesions in gaps and on walls were significantly smaller. Overall there were more mature adhesions on pillars compared to smooth surfaces, which may account for the reduced speed of migration as well as the limited distance of migration on this substratum. At 3 hours, actin stress fibers readily formed on pillar tops, gaps and walls, however, by 6 hours the stress fibers were predominantly found on pillar tops. At 6 hours, the positioning of actin stress fibers on pillar tops differed significantly (p[Less than or equal to]0.001) from the positioning of microtubules (MTs) which had a tendency to form in the gaps of the six-sided pillars; very few microtubules were found on pillar tops.

More precisely, the data include a Lie superalgebra with a projector on an Abelian subalgebra satisfying a certain axiom, and an odd element $Δ$. Given this, we introduce an infinite sequence of higher brackets on the image of the projector, and explicitly calculate their Jacobiators in terms of $Δ^2$. This allows to control higher Jacobi identities in terms of the ``order'' of $Δ^2$. Examples include Stasheff's strongly homotopy Lie algebras and variants of homotopy Batalin--Vilkovisky algebras. There is a generalization with $\D$ replaced by an arbitrary odd derivation. We discuss applications and links with other constructions.

description: The food price crisis that occurred in the mid-2000s and the global financial crisis that transpired in 2008 had an enduring impact on developing and emerging countries where investment growth rates have declined sharply. Food insecurity has also become an important concern. Using a food security assessment model, an analysis of the medium- to long-term repercussions of the food price and global financial crises on ASEAN food security revealed that the effects of the food price crisis are expected to be more negative than those of the global financial crisis. When a financial crisis occurs in the USA and Europe, investment flows to emerging markets, suggesting that countries like Lao PDR, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam benefit from it. However, when a global financial crisis occurs, other ASEAN countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are negatively affected
title: Accounting for health and illness: A social psychological investigation
Creators: name: Stainton Rogers, Wendy
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: This thesis identifies and describes some of the main accounts for health and illness that are current in British culture, placing them within broader contexts of psychological, sociological, traditional, religious and moral discourses; within broader explanatory frameworks; and, by way of an analysis of these ecological aspects, seeks to illuminate our understanding of such accounting. A combination of Q and ethnographic methods were used to elucidate a variety of alternative ways that people "make sense" of health and illness. Three main studies were conducted. The first two investigated accounting for health and illness within a broad framework of accounts as "explanations"; as moral judgements and prescriptions; and as defining meaning. The third study focussed on the external/internal explanatory framework, and demonstrated that accounting is far more complex than the Wallston and Wallston (1981) "Health Locus of Control Construct' would suggest. Some accounts stressed "internality", some "externality", some a combination of both, and others viewed this construct as non-salient. These latter included accounts about personal autonomy, and, importantly, the 'medical model" account. In the thesis overall, among the accounts identified were ones based upon notions of : "the wonders of modern medicine"; "stress"; "the cultural critique'; 'a healthy lifestyle", 'tradition"; "individual autonomy", 'Theism'; and "Willpower". These accounts are assumed to operate both within individual subjectivity and popular discourse, offering people a variety of complementary 'texts' with which to weave narratives, drawing upon different 'texts" according to situational and other demands. Thus accounting is portrayed as an active, thoughtful and sometimes contradictory 'storymaking" activity, and people as competent negotiators of reality.

description: There is strong evidence to suggest that climate change has affected and will continue to affect the occurrence, distribution, and prevalence of livestock diseases in Nepal. This study investigated how climate change has affected the livestock population in Mustang District. The outbreak of new diseases, changes in disease patterns, increase in cases of external and internal parasites, decrease in the availability of forage and fodder, and deterioration of pasture land were the major climate change effects observed. The number of livestock has decreased, resulting in declining income from livestockrelated activities of Jomsom and Kagbeni, two Village Development Committees in the Mustang District where people are seeking alternative occupations. The results revealed that some signs of climate change were experienced by rural communities in the study sites, such as an increasing number of warm days and a decreasing number of cold days. The different measures that people have adopted to lessen the impacts of climate change on the livestock population were also identified.

description: Abstract: Mires as well as meadows resulted in the drainage of mires are ecosystems very sensitive to the environmental changes. Abandonment of these meadows leads to their degradation. Such meadows situated in the area of Dolny Śląsk are not used or used extensively. Research showed that succession of abandoned meadows depends on habitat characters, especially on the moisture. There were observed some separated paths of succession from very dry habitats in which peat was completely decomposed and cultivated, through well-drained habitats overgrown with ruderal or alien invasive species to wet biotops in which regeneration of mire vegetation is possible.

Die Aufgabe solcher Wiesen führt zu deren Degradation. In Dolny Śląsk werden die meisten Moorwiesen nicht mehr oder nur extensiv genutzt. Trotz ähnlichem Ausgangszustand ist die Sukzession auf den Moorwiesen unterschiedlich, abhängig von den Standortseigenschaften. Der Wasserhaushalt reicht von sehr trocken, mit schon völligem Torfverlust und Ackerbau, über feucht, mit dem Auftreten von Ruderal- und invasiven Arten, bis hin zu nass, mit möglicher Moorrenaturierung.

description: We derive a kinetic theory capable of dealing both with large spin-orbit coupling and Kondo screening in dilute magnetic alloys. We obtain the collision integral non-perturbatively and uncover a contribution proportional to the momentum derivative of the impurity scattering S-matrix. The latter yields an important correction to the spin diffusion and spin-charge conversion coefficients, and fully captures the so-called side-jump process without resorting to the Born approximation (which fails for resonant scattering), or to otherwise heuristic derivations. We apply our kinetic theory to a quantum impurity model with strong spin-orbit, which captures the most important features of Kondo-screened Cerium impurities in alloys such as La$_{1-x}$Cu$_6$. We find 1) a large zero-temperature spin Hall conductivity that depends solely on the Fermi wave number and 2) a transverse spin diffusion mechanism that modifies the standard Fick's diffusion law. Our predictions can be readily verified by standard spin-transport measurements in metal alloys with Kondo impurities.

Orgue symphonique français
Gabriel Fauré
Analyse

description: De même que d’autres compositeurs français de l’époque romantique comme Camille Saint-Saëns, César Franck ou Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) fut tout aussi organiste que pianiste. Au vu de sa « tranquille annexion » des églises parisiennes en tant qu’organiste de l’orgue de choeur à Saint-Sulpice (Widor étant titulaire du grand orgue), remplaçant de Saint-Saëns à la Madeleine, maître de chapelle à la Madeleine puis finalement titulaire de la Madeleine dès 1896 , il paraît étonnant qu’il n’ait laissé aucune pièce pour orgue solo. En transcrivant son œuvre pour piano « Thèmes et variations » (opus 73), à l’orgue, le travail présent essaie de combler quelque peu le manque de musique fauréenne dans le répertoire pour orgue. Avant le début du travail de transcription proprement dit, l’étude du style symphonique français pour orgue de l’époque s’imposait, incluant tant le répertoire original pour orgue des contemporains de Fauré que les transcriptions pour orgue de la fin du 19e siècle. Le travail de transcription finalement a eu lieu en tenant compte des conclusions tirées de l’étude du style ; un journal de transcription a alors retenu les différentes étapes de travail. La motivation principale était bien sûr de pouvoir interpréter cette œuvre de Gabriel Fauré, non pas au piano […], mais à l’orgue. Bien que le thème et ses onze variations apparaissent dans une écriture typiquement pianistique, on y retrouve, devine les couleurs orchestrales que les registrations de l’orgue peuvent imiter. Par ailleurs, l’orchestration par Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht, publiée en 1927, offre un autre point de vue sur le travail à faire, stylistiquement certes plus tardive, mais ouverte à une orchestration à la recherche de timbres et textures les plus diverses. […] Après une brève situation de « Thème et variations » dans l’œuvre de Fauré suivra un essai d’une définition des différents aspects musicaux du terme « transcription ». Le chapitre suivant donne un petit aperçu du répertoire pour orgue au 19e siècle, au travers d’œuvres originales de style symphonique. La partie principale est constituée d’analyses de transcriptions d’œuvres pianistiques pour orgue autour du tournant de siècle (chapitre 5), qui catégorise les situations devant être adaptées du piano à l’orgue et qui débouche sur la partie suivante, expliquant quelques-uns des choix élémentaires et musicaux de ladite transcription. La synthèse enfin porte un regard le plus objectif possible et critique sur le résultat atteint, non seulement d’un point de vue stylistique, mais aussi concernant l’exécution de la transcription sur des instruments de styles différents, au-delà des spécificités symphoniques françaises.

description: El estudio de las políticas fiscales y su influencia en el desempeño financiero de las organizaciones es un tema de investigación relevante en la Administración Financiera. Las políticas fiscales se refieren a las decisiones y medidas tomadas por los gobiernos en relación con los impuestos, el gasto público y la deuda.La política fiscal tiene un impacto significativo en el entorno económico y puede influir en el desempeño financiero de las organizaciones de diversas maneras. Por ejemplo, los cambios en los impuestos pueden afectar la rentabilidad de las empresas y su capacidad para generar ingresos. Además, el gasto público puede estimular la demanda agregada, lo que a su vez puede impulsar el crecimiento económico y beneficiar a las organizaciones.Los investigadores estudian cómo las diferentes políticas fiscales, como la reducción de impuestos, la implementación de subsidios o el aumento del gasto público, afectan el desempeño financiero de las organizaciones. También analizan la eficiencia de estas políticas y su impacto en la estabilidad económica.

description: This study used a supply response model to determine factors affecting maize supply in Vietnam. It estimated response coefficients from semi-annual time-series data for the period 1986-2011. Using three criteria, it chose the rational expectation hypothesis supply response model (Model I) with the separated price expectation formation hypothesis according to the information set at time (t-1) to estimate the supply response model for maize. Farmers used the available information set to form their expected price. Estimated parameters’ results in Model I indicate that the farmers’ supply had a positive response to the expected price of maize, but was negative to that of cassava. This means that maize and cassava are close substitutes in the supply response models. Maize production also positively responds to the amount of fertilizer per hectare, maize area, one-period lagged investment, irrigation, trend variable, and agricultural extension policy. Recommended policies include: enhancement of the judicious use of fertilizers and possible establishment of local factories; increase in maize area by changing the crop structure and multiple cropping with long-term industrial trees like perennials and fruit trees; improvement of the irrigation system in two deltas and in high production regions; increase in government support to farmers; increase in government spending on research and development of new maize varieties; and improvement of the extension system to provide farmers the needed market and technological information.

description: Facilitators of participatory approaches to community development in agricultural and natural resource management settings frequently encounter dilemmas due to embedded social and power structures that potentially interfere with achieving desired outcomes. These dilemmas underscore the need for better facilitation structures and techniques to mediate the complexity of disagreements. This paper reviews the literature on selecting and applying participatory facilitation methods in Asia, focused on South and Southeast Asia. The analysis acknowledges critics of participation and identifies elements for involving marginalized communities when using participatory approaches to increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.
