Productivity Analysis

description: The cultivation of papaya (Carica papaya L.), a local strain of cultivar Sunrise Solo, for fresh fruit marketing as practiced at the University Field Station is discussed. Although Bunchy Top and virus diseases constitute the major constraint to successful production, the results indicate that the crop has attractive possibilities. Analysis of cost and returns of crops grown on 0.5 ha over the period 1973 to 1982 shows a gross margin of TT$18,000 per ha at a sold marketable yield of 26,997 kg/ha for a crop duration of 16 months. Some areas requiring attention are highlighted, including the selection and rapid availability of adaptable cultivars with good yield potential associated with desirable fruit characteristics and resistance to Bunchy Top and virus diseases; the mineral nutrition of the crops, specifically the role and function of nitrogen, and calcium soil pH in mitigating the expression of the Bunchy Top disease, fruit demand analysis, and fruit market development, for the fresh trade and for processing.

fertility preservation

description: Fertility preservation is becoming increasingly important to improve the quality of life in cancer survivors. Despite guidelines suggesting that discussion of fertility preservation should be done prior to starting cancer therapies, there is a lack of implementation in this area. Several techniques are available for fertility preservation, and they can be used individually or together in the same patient to maximize efficiency. Oocyte and embryo cryopreservation are now established techniques but have their limitations. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation though considered experimental at present, has a wider clinical application and the advantage of keeping the fertility window open for a longer time. Both chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a major impact on reproductive potential and fertility preservation procedures should be carried out prior to these treatments. The need for fertility preservation has to be weighed against morbidity and mortality associated with cancer. There is thus a need for a multidisciplinary collaboration between oncologists and reproductive specialists to improve awareness and availability.

description: We compute the expansion of the 3-d Lattice QCD free energy to four loop order by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. The first and second order are already known and are correctly reproduced. The third and fourth order coefficients are new results. The known logarithmic divergence in the fourth order is correctly identified. We comment on the relevance of our computation in the context of dimensionally reduced finite temperature QCD.

description: Huang's experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. $\bf 109$, 156802 (2012)] found, in the quantum Hall bilayer of the Corbino geometry, the interlayer tunneling currents at two edges are coupled to each other and one of two tunneling currents is referred to as the compensating current of the other. Our another work[arXiv:2006.15329] has explained this exotic coupling phenomenon as a result of excitonic Josephson effect induced by interlayer tunneling current. In this paper, we study the same setup -- excitonic Josephson junction -- but in the weak Josephson coupling regime, which occurs for large junction length. Interestingly, we find the compensating current drives the other edge to undergo a nonequilibrium phase transition from a superfluid to resistive state, which is signaled by an abrupt jump of the critical tunneling current. We also identify the critical exponent and furthermore offer more experimental prediction.

description: We study neutrino and dark matter based on a gauged $U(1)_R$ symmetry in a framework of radiative seesaw scenario. Identifying dark matter as a bosoninc particle, it interacts with quark and lepton sectors through vector-like heavier quark and leptons, and plays an role in generating neutrino mass matrix together with neutral heavier fermions. We explore several constraints for masses and couplings related to dark matter by computing relic density and direct search, taking the neutrino oscillation, lepton flavor violations, and muon anomalous magnetic moment into account. Finally, we briefly mention semileptonic decays and neutral meson mixings at one-loop box diagrams through dark matter.

description: The study aimed to investigate the effect of the remedy "Bendamine" on rats' antioxidant status in experimental doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. The research was performed on white sexually mature young male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g. Animals were divided into three groups of six rats each: control group intact; experimental group E1 doxorubicin was applicated intraperitoneally at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg 3 times a week for two weeks; experimental group E2 in case of doxorubicin intoxication, the drug "Bendamine" was administered intragastrically at a dose of 20 mg/kg. The action of doxorubicin and the development of the hypoxic state in rats are accompanied by activation of oxidative stress and enhancement of free radical processes. It was indicated by increased levels of intermediate and end products of lipid peroxidation and inhibition of antioxidant defense. There was a 32.7% increase in diene conjugates and a 37.6% increase in TBA-active product in rats' control groups. After application to rats, it was also found that doxorubicin causes inhibition of the glutathione system of antioxidant protection of animals. The use of the remedy "Bendamine" in the E2 group contributed to the strengthening of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic parts of the antioxidant system, protecting the structural and functional integrity of cell biomembranes. The medicine "Bendamine" inhibits the excessive formation of LPO products in pathologically altered tissues of rats' hearts. In the E2 group, the level of intermediate and final products is probably reduced. In the E2 group, the myocardial homogenate, the level of diene conjugates decreased by 16.8% also the level of TBA-active products by 20.8% compared to the E1 group-had characteristic clinical signs of cardiomyopathy caused by doxorubicin.

The subjects were 20 large white piglets three months old. The research was conducted at the Komarnivsky National Research Center of the Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies. According to the method of analog groups, one control and three experimental were formed. Feeding sodium nitrate to piglets at a dose of 0.3 g NO3ˉ/kg. b.w. contributes to the development of chronic nitrite-nitrate toxicosis. Nitrates in a toxic dose for 90 days reduce the protective properties of the body. Under nitrate load, feeding pigs phenarone, methyphene, and methionine had a positive effect on piglets' humoral immunity, manifested by the high antimicrobial activity of serum.

description: Two unreplicated tests were established to evaluate the performance of 180 tomato cultivars. The first test included 95 cultivars .grown during the August-December 1981 season. Prior to the first harvest, all the entries were rated for the severity of Bacterial Spot Early Blight, Septoria Leaf Spot and Tobacco Mosaic Virus. In each of the six harvests, the fruits were separated in small and commercial and then counted and weighed. Yield of commercial fruits above 25 mt/ha were observed in the cultivars: Arizona, AT 70/24, CL-143-0-1-0-3, CL-1095, Campbell 1327, Campbell 34, Castlehv 1034, Castlex 489 G, Early Castlepeel, Harvester, Hessoline, Mexico, Nuova Super Roma, MH 134 E, Peto 98, Porfidio, Romanova, Rossol and Royal Chico. The second test was established from September 1981 to February 1982. It included 85 cultivars and only the yield data were recorded. Yields above 25 mt/ha were obtained with the cultivars Burgis, Castlex 489 C, Enterpriser, Floradade, Floradel, Hayslip, Piacenza, T2 IMP VF, Triumph, the lines XC-8104, CX-8105, E-6209, E 9209 from Campbell Institute, L-495 and L 550 from Louisiana State University and three crosses from Auburn University named GL-01, GL-03 and GL-04. Data of disease indexes on the first test and fruit firmness in both tests are presented.

description: The study aimed to investigate methyphene and Vitamix Se's antioxidant properties under the nitrate-cadmium loading in young cattle. The experiments were performed on 20 bulls of six months of age, black-spotted breed, from which four groups of 5 animals in each were formed: control and three experimental groups. The control group's bulls (C) were fed with feed for a month sodium nitrate at a dose of 0.15 g NO3¯/kg body weight together with cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg animal. The first experimental group (E1) bulls were fed sodium nitrate and cadmium chloride in the above doses for a month, and methyphene was given to the diet at a dose of 0.28 g/kg of feed. The second experimental group (E2) was fed sodium nitrate and cadmium chloride in the above doses for a month, and Vitamix Se was added to the diet at a dose of 0.03 g/kg body weight. The third experimental group (E3) bulls were fed sodium nitrate and cadmium chloride in the above doses for a month and fed with methyphene and Vitamix Se. The level of intermediate and final products of lipid peroxidation under conditions of chronic nitrate-nitrite toxicosis with cadmium loading was studied. Antioxidant properties of methyphene and Vitamix Se preparations in young cattle under conditions of nitrate-cadmium loading were installed. The use of methyphene and Vitamix Se in developing chronic nitrate-nitrite toxicosis of bulls with cadmium load contributed to reducing intermediate and final products of lipid peroxidation diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde. At nitrate-cadmium loading, the best effect on inhibition of processes of peroxidation of lipids of an organism of animals was shown by the combined use of methyphene and Vitamix Se.

description: In a 1996 JRO Fellowship Research Proposal (Los Alamos), the author suggested that neutrino oscillations may provide a powerful indirect energy transport mechanism to supernovae explosions. The principal aim of this addendum is to present the relevant unedited text of Section 1 of that proposal. We then briefly remind, (a) of an early suggestion of Mazurek on vacuum neutrino oscillations and their relevance to supernovae explosion, and (b) Wolfenstein's result on suppression of the effect by matter effects. We conclude that whether or not neutrino oscillations play a significant role in supernovae explosions shall depend if there are shells/regions of space in stellar collapse where matter effects play no essential role. Should such regions exist in actual astrophysical situations, the final outcome of neutrino oscillations on supernovae explosions shall depend, in part, on whether or not the LNSD signal is confirmed. Importantly, the reader is reminded that neutrino oscillations form a set of flavor-oscillation clocks and these clock suffer gravitational redshift which can be as large as 20 percent. This effect must be incorporated fully into any calculation of supernova explosion.

description: A number of fields which were prepared for vegetable production were measured to establish the gross area and the area reserved for beds. The area reserved for beds in each field was then expressed as a percentage of the gross field area, thus giving the effective area to be used in crop production. The effective area is therefore the area in which activities such as planting, spraying, fertilizer application and harvesting will be confined and concentrated with respect to the gross area.

Nuclear alpha-clustering, superdeformation, and molecular resonances

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Nuclear alpha-clustering has been the subject of intense study since the advent of heavy-ion accelerators. Looking back for more than 40 years we are able today to see the connection between quasimolecular resonances in heavy-ion collisions and extremely deformed states in light nuclei. For example superdeformed bands have been recently discovered in light N=Z nuclei such as $^{36}$Ar, $^{40}$Ca, $^{48}$Cr, and $^{56}$Ni by $γ$-ray spectroscopy. The search for strongly deformed shapes in N=Z nuclei is also the domain of charged-particle spectroscopy, and our experimental group at IReS Strasbourg has studied a number of these nuclei with the charged particle multidetector array {\sc Icare} at the {\sc Vivitron} Tandem facility in a systematical manner. Recently the search for $γ$-decays in $^{24}$Mg has been undertaken in a range of excitation energies where previously nuclear molecular resonances were found in $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C collisions. The breakup reaction $^{24}$Mg$+^{12}$C has been investigated at E$_{lab}$($^{24}$Mg) = 130 MeV, an energy which corresponds to the appropriate excitation energy in $^{24}$Mg for which the $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C resonance could be related to the breakup resonance. Very exclusive data were collected with the Binary Reaction Spectrometer in coincidence with {\sc Euroball IV} installed at the {\sc Vivitron}.

title: Modelling arithmetic strategies
Creators: name: Devi, Roshni
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: This thesis examines children's arithmetic strategies and their relation to the concepts of commutativity and associativity. Two complementary methods were used in this research: empirical studies and computational models.

Empirical studies were carried out to identify the strategies children used for solving problems like 3 + 4, and 3 + 4 + 7, and the conceptual knowledge associated with them. Their understanding of subtraction problems where the minuend is less than the subtrahend (e.g. 6 - 8) was also considered. A study with 105 subjects revealed a variety of strategies and information about children's knowledge of commutativity and associativity. Four levels of performance of commutativity were also identified. A longitudinal study was carried out with 12 children in order to obtain details of children's changes in strategy, and to double check the results obtained in the main study. The strategies observed to be used by children over a 20 month period parallel those found in previous studies, which show a general transition to more efficient methods. However, the longitudinal study revealed that development of such arithmetic strategies is a slow process. Furthermore, the studies indicated that knowledge of commutativity is a prerequisite for associativity.

Models of the observed strategies have been implemented in the form of production rules in a computer program called PALM. The process of implementation highlighted features of children's problem solving that had not been 'detected during the studies.

In addition to models that describe the space of strategies, a model of learning has been implemented for the transition from procedural knowledge of commutativity to that of associativity. The model is capable of generalizing its inbuilt knowledge, for instance, its ability to solve 2-term arithmetic expressions, to allow it to solve more complex problems, such as 3-term arithmetic expressions. A further model has been constructed for learning arithmetic strategies that are more efficient than those already represented in the program. It learns specific rules by adding conditions for efficient problem solving to its previous general rules.

description: We address the question of how well the density profile of galaxy clusters can be determined by combining strong lensing and velocity dispersion data. We use cosmological dark matter simulations of clusters to test the reliability of the method, producing mock catalogues of tangential and radial gravitational arcs and simulating the radial velocity dispersion profile of the cluster brightest central galaxy. The density profiles of the simulated clusters closely follow the NFW form, but we find that the recovered values of the inner slope are systematically underestimated, by about 0.4 in the mean, if the lens is assumed to be axially symmetric. However, if the ellipticity and orientation of the iso-contours of the cluster lensing potential are taken into account, then the inner slopes can be recovered quite accurately for a significant subset of the clusters whose central surface density profiles appear the most regular. These have lensing potentials with ellipticities in the range 0.15-0.4. Further simulations projecting one cluster along many random lines-of-sight show that, even for lower ellipticities, the central slopes are underestimated by $\sim 10-35%$. These simulations closely mimic past observations (see e.g. Sand et al., 2004), suggesting that existing estimates of the central slopes may be biased towards low values. For the remaining clusters, where the lensing potential is strongly perturbed by active merging or by substructure, the correct determination of the inner slope requires a more accurate model for the lens. When the halo profile is modelled by a generalised NFW profile, we find that the inferred scale radius and characteristic density, unlike the inner slope, are generally poorly constrained, since there is a strong degeneracy between these two parameters.

description: Odontogracilis violaceus (Santos-Silva, Bezark and Martins, 2012) comb. nov.
 Acyphoderes violaceus Santos-Silva, Bezark and Martins, 2012: 78.
 Species Concept. Based on examination of the holotype.
 Diagnosis. Based on a female paratype of O. violaceus from Costa Rica, and a female O. exilis from Mexico (but, take note, both species are recorded for Costa Rica). They may be separated as follows; in O. violaceus antennomere III 1.44 longer than length of scape (in O. exilis 1.67 longer than scape); in O. violaceus length of elytra 3.42 longer than width across humeri (in O. exilis 3.24 longer than width of humeri); in O. violaceus metafemoral peduncle 1.24 longer than metafemoral clave (in O. exilis 1.66 longer than clave); and in O. violaceus length of metatarsomere I/II+III = 1.33 (in O. exilis metatarsomere I/II+III = 1.17).
 Measurements (mm). 1 female, total length, 16.8; length of prothorax, 2.50; width of prothorax, 2.20; length of elytra, 8.3; width at humeri, 2.40.
 Material analyzed. Holotype, COSTA RICA, Guanacaste, 3 km SE R. Naranjo, 1 female, 1-15.VIII.1993, col. F. D. Parker (USUL).
 Comment. Santos-Silva, et al. (2012) separated this species from O. cracentis and O. exilis based on the color of its hind legs (femora bicolored, peduncle with dark brown area; tibiae and tarsi black with violaceus reflection). Whereas the separation of O. violaceus from O. cracentis is probably valid (the two species are well separated geographically), its separation from O. exilis must remain provisional, since the authors seem to have compared the female holotype of O. violaceus with a male paratype of O. exilis, the female of which may share the same colored femora as O. violaceus; and, if we describe the color of the tibia and tarsi of O. violaceus as yellowish with strong violet infusion (which they are), then O. violaceus may prove to be a junior synonym of O. exilis. However, notwithstanding the inferred synonymy, O. violaceus is considered to be a valid species (as diagnosed above) until such time that further specimens (including a male) become available to clarify its status. It should also be stated that the author only had a limited amount of time to examine the specimen of O. violaceus.

description: Conventional video compression methods employ a linear transform and block motion model, and the steps of motion estimation, mode and quantization parameter selection, and entropy coding are optimized individually due to combinatorial nature of the end-to-end optimization problem. Learned video compression allows end-to-end rate-distortion optimized training of all nonlinear modules, quantization parameter and entropy model simultaneously. While previous work on learned video compression considered training a sequential video codec based on end-to-end optimization of cost averaged over pairs of successive frames, it is well-known in conventional video compression that hierarchical, bi-directional coding outperforms sequential compression. In this paper, we propose for the first time end-to-end optimization of a hierarchical, bi-directional motion compensated learned codec by accumulating cost function over fixed-size groups of pictures (GOP). Experimental results show that the rate-distortion performance of our proposed learned bi-directional {\it GOP coder} outperforms the state-of-the-art end-to-end optimized learned sequential compression as expected.

title: The relationship between lexical and non-lexical processes in spelling
Creators: name: Sibbitt, Rae
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: Research into children's spelling difficulties has generally focussed on the kind of errors children make, categorising them as 'phonetic' or 'non-phonetic'. These errors are then interpreted within the framework of the 'dual-route' model of spelling. Although this model can account for phonetic errors, the explanation of non-phonetic errors is inadequate. The first half of this thesis investigates the hypothesis that children use non-phonetic phoneme-grapheme mappings to produce non-phonetic spellings. In order to examine these mappings, three studies were carried out to look at children's spelling of nonwords. The first compares the spelling of vowel phonemes in nonwords and real words; the second compares the spelling of vowel phonemes by children with and without spelling difficulties and the third shows how a corpus of nonword spellings can be used to identify problematic phonemegrapheme mappings.

In the second half of the thesis, it is suggested that nonwords are not simply spelt using phoneme-grapheme mappings, but that lexical information in the form of morphemes may also be used. Three experiments are described. The first is a phoneme-classification task used to test for the activation of morphemes in the lexicon; in the second and third experiments (carried out on adults and children respectively) nonwords are presented in priming and non-priming contexts to test for the effect of higher level information on the use of morphemes in nonword spelling. The results suggest that not only can morphemes be used in spelling nonwords, but their use can be influenced by the context in which the nonword is presented. It is proposed that the dual-route model should be modified in order to allow for interaction between the lexical and non-lexical routes in nonword spelling, and to allow for the influence of syntactic information on this interaction.

description: The recent preprint by Mazin et al. [cond-mat/0212417] contains many inappropriate evaluations and/or criticisms on our published work [Phys. Rev. B 66, 020513 (2002) and Nature 418, 758 (2002)]. The preprint [cond-mat/0212417v1] was submitted to Physical Review B as a comment on one of our papers [Phys. Rev. B 66, 020513 (2002)]. In the reviewing process, Mazin et al. have withdrawn many of the statements contained in cond-mat/0212417v1, however two claims remain in their revised manuscript [cond-mat/0212417v3]: (1) the calculated variations of the superconducting energy gap within the sigma- or the pi-bands are not observable in real samples due to scatterings, and (2) the Coulomb repulsion mu(k,k') is negligibly small between sigma- and pi-states and thus should be approximated by a diagonal 2 x 2 matrix in the sigma and pi channels. Here, we point out that the former does not affect the validity of our theoretical work which is for the clean limit, and that the latter is not correct.
Extended temperature tuning of an external cavity diode laser

description: We describe the construction and operation of an external cavity diode laser in which the diode is cooled to -45 C. This technique allows us to pull the wavelength of a nominally 782 nm diode to operate at 766.7 nm, a change of over 15 nm. The important aspects of our design are its ease and low cost as compared to other designs of changing the operating wavelength of laser diodes. We provide background information on thermal design with multiple TECs so the reader can extend this example for use in their own applications.

Creation of nanometric magnetic skyrmions by global application of circularly polarized microwave magnetic field

description: From a theoretical perspective, we demonstrate that nanometric magnetic skyrmions are created by application of a circularly polarized microwave magnetic field to a thin-plate Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya ferromagnet with fabricated rectangular holes. This phenomenon is caused by an effective steady magnetic field perpendicular to the microwave-polarization plane induced by the rotating magnetic field and the intense interference of spin waves excited by this magnetic field due to the hole structure, which causes reversals of local magnetizations and results in the formation of skyrmions. Our proposal provides a new option to write or create magnetic textures the sizes of which are much smaller than the spot size of the external stimulus such as magnetic field, light, and microwave.

title: Modelling medical diagnostic processes
Creators: name: Alpay, Laurence Lea
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: The thesis investigates the development of medical reasoning processes and how student modelling of such processes can be achieved in intelligent tutoring systems. The domain of orthopaedics was chosen for the research. Literature has shown that medical reasoning has been modelled mainly from an expert point of view. The research problem addressed is to model explicitly various levels of medical expertise in terms of reasoning strategies. The thesis reports on a system, DEMEREST (DEvelopment of MEdical REasoning STrategies), a developmental user model component which describes successive stages of medical reasoning and which could ultimately be part of a medical tutor. The system diagnoses physicians' reasoning strategies, determines the level of expertise and produces a plan corresponding to the application of these strategies. As a basis of doing so, a set of seven reasoning strategies was identified in the medical problem solving literature. These strategies are based on generalisation, specialisation, confirmation, elimination, problem refinement, hypothesis generation and anatomy. An empirical study was carried out to examine the development of these strategies. Protocols of ten physicians at various levels of expertise were collected and analysed. A number of interactions of strategies at different levels of expertise was identified in half of these protocols and this information was used to construct a model of changes of strategies over time. Planning in· artificial intelligence was used as a means of decomposing medical problem solving into a set of goals; the goals being associated with the reasoning strategies. By taking this approach, medical reasoning is viewed as a planning process. The remaining protocols from the empirical study were used to evaluate DEMEREST. The system was tested for its ability to determine a level of expertise for each protocol, model the reasoning strategies applied and their interactions, and generate a plan for each protocol. The assessment of the overall performance of the system showed that it was successful. This assessment also helped to identify conceptual as well as implementation constraints of the prototype system. The main result of the research undertaken in this thesis is that the design of the system DEMEREST demonstrates the feasibility of modelling the development of medical reasoning strategies and its usefulness for student modelling.

description: Time-series forecasting is one of the most active research topics in artificial intelligence. Applications in real-world time series should consider two factors for achieving reliable predictions: modeling dynamic dependencies among multiple variables and adjusting the model's intrinsic hyperparameters. A still open gap in that literature is that statistical and ensemble learning approaches systematically present lower predictive performance than deep learning methods. They generally disregard the data sequence aspect entangled with multivariate data represented in more than one time series. Conversely, this work presents a novel neural network architecture for time-series forecasting that combines the power of graph evolution with deep recurrent learning on distinct data distributions; we named our method Recurrent Graph Evolution Neural Network (ReGENN). The idea is to infer multiple multivariate relationships between co-occurring time-series by assuming that the temporal data depends not only on inner variables and intra-temporal relationships (i.e., observations from itself) but also on outer variables and inter-temporal relationships (i.e., observations from other-selves). An extensive set of experiments was conducted comparing ReGENN with dozens of ensemble methods and classical statistical ones, showing sound improvement of up to 64.87% over the competing algorithms. Furthermore, we present an analysis of the intermediate weights arising from ReGENN, showing that by looking at inter and intra-temporal relationships simultaneously, time-series forecasting is majorly improved if paying attention to how multiple multivariate data synchronously evolve.

Strategic planning for pro-poor tourism : a case study of Livingstone, Zambia
Creators: name: McGowan, Gerrit James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Tourism is a booming industry in Livingstone, Zambia. Over the past decade, an influx of foreign investment has completely transformed the local economy, contributing to a meteoric rise in tourist arrivals, expenditures, and new businesses. This has provided more jobs to the local workforce, created more opportunities for small business, and produced greater government revenues. As a result, the Zambian government has made tourism one of its highest priority development sectors. As large-scale tourism is a recent phenomenon in Livingstone, both the national and local governments have been forced to respond retroactively to the needs and effects of the growing sector. This has led to a policy framework for tourism that is largely uncoordinated and inconsistent, and in some cases outdated. With the approval of Zambia's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper in 2003, there is now an additional mandate to include the promotion of poverty reduction within government tourism sector activities. The following thesis provides an examination of the tourism economy in Livingstone, Zambia - identifying opportunities for promoting poverty reduction through this growing sector. Using a strategic planning approach adopted by UN-Habitat, this paper identifies and prioritizes objectives and opportunities for pro-poor tourism in Livingstone. This begins with the compilation of tourism and poverty related data outlined in a situation assessment, followed by an analysis of key stakeholders active in the sector. A broad vision is then established and key issues and objectives are identified and streamlined. Using simple decision-analysis tools' to structure and assess alternatives, potential pro-poor tourism opportunities are then assessed in relation to the objectives. The four-highest ranking opportunities were chosen for further analysis. They are listed below according to rank. 1. Small business support - including business development services, registration and licensing, informal sector activity, and issues of land tenure and title. 2. Credit and Finance - including expanded micro-credit programming 3. Marketing - including pro-poor and SME marketing programs and a sustainable tourism certification program 4. Training and Capacity Building - including the expansion of public sector programs and the monitoring and regulation of private sector activities. 1 Decision analysis is a discipline that comprises the philosophies, theories, methodologies, and professional practices for addressing important decisions in a formal manner (Howard, 1984).

description: The characteristic features of different criteria and operation of small businesses frequently used in everyday life, scientific journals, the business community professionals. In the article is researched interpretation of the concept of «small forms of management» under Ukrainian law and the terms of various scientists and given its own interpretation of this concept. It is discussed the problems of functioning of small forms of farming in rural areas. The number of functioning farms in Ukraine for the previous period is reduced. The experience of different countries in the use of different classification criteria (criteria) enterprises belonging to the category of small enterprises is studied by authors. Criteria for determining the number of employees i amount of basic income received by small forms of management is compared. It is proposed requirements of small forms of management to be contributed to the Ukrainian legislation.
