METAL ION INTERACTION WITH ANION CHROMATOGRAPHY COLUMNS
Creators: name: Siriraks, Archava
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Problems associated with metal ion interaction with anion chromatography columns were investigated on four different types of anion exchange columns. Exposure of the columns to metal ions caused significant loss in column capacity in Vydac 302.IC silica and Dionex latex agglomerated polystyrene divinylbenzene columns. For these columns the anion analysis performance was affected as well as a Hamilton PRPX-100 polystyrene divinylbenzene column. A Waters IC PAK polymethacrylate column was only slightly affected. Metal ions, when present in the sample, interfered with chloride analysis using any of the 4 column types. The mechanism of metal retention was determined indirectly and the results indicated that for all columns except the Dionex column the metal ions formed complexes with phthalate in the eluent and the complexes were retained in the column by a reverse phase mechanism. For the Dionex column, it was concluded that the metal ions were retained by an ion exchange process.
title: Radiotext: an application of computer and communication systems in distance teaching
Creators: name: Smith, P
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1982

description: To enhance the way in which the Open University is able to communicate with its students, learning at a distance, this study has involved the design of a system to allow material in the form of computer-coded text and graphics to be transmitted over an unmodified V.H.F. radio broadcast network. In addition to providing a low-cost rapid method of communication for course management, the system can be used for delivery of material such as audio-visual packages and computer software. To enable the unmodified broadcast network and conventional radio receivers to be used, it is intended that Radiotext transmissions will take place at the end of the normal broadcast schedule. This implies that the system should be capable of unattended operation within the student's home. It is achieved by the use of a time-switched radio receiver and interface unit, together with an audio cassette recorder for storage of the received data. The received material may then be displayed on a television or printed out on a low-cost printer at a later, more convenient, time. Each component of the system is described. The major emphasis is placed on the problem areas which sure either unique to this system or not adequately solved elsewhere. These include, choice of a modulation method for the transmission of data and the design of suitable encoder and decoder circuits, provision of a fast reliable method of storage of the received data, and the design of a suitable error correction procedure for use throughout the system. The system design enables data to be transmitted, stored on audio cassette and finally displayed at a minimum data rate of 2400 baud. The error correction procedure reduces the probability of data error to less than 10-8 per transmitted bit, equivalent to an average of one error in every 10,000 low resolution pages, achieved with a code redundancy of 29%.

Typhlosyrinx neocaledoniensis

description: Typhlosyrinx neocaledoniensis n. sp.
(gures 23–26)
 Type material. Holotype and two paratypes in MNH N.
 Type locality. N orth of N ew Caledonia, 18ss47¾S, 163ss17¾E, 610–613 m [Bathus 4, sta. CP921].
 Material examined. North of New Caledonia. Bathus 4: Sta. CP 912, 18ss56¾S, 163ss08¾E, 690–702 m, one dd (paratype). Sta. CP 921, 18ss47¾S, 163ss17¾E, 610–613 m, two dd (holotype, gures 23, 24 and paratype, gures 25, 26).
 Distribution. North of New Caledonia, known only from empty shells in 613– 690 m.
 Description. H olotype (gures 23, 24). Shell slender, solid, polished, spire occupying 38% of total shell height. Protoconch partly broken and eroded, remaining two whorls brown, with diagonally cancellated sculpture. Teleoconch whorls nine, suture shallow. F irst six whorls with axial ribs, angulated in middle, and concave subsutural ramp bearing thickened growth lines adapically forming short arcuate folds. Ribs opisthocline, commencing just above angulation, nodulose at periphery and rapidly fading abapically. Subsequent whorls smooth, weakly convex, with poorly de ned and very slightly concave subsutural ramp. Spiral sculpture obsolete except on shell base, which is sculptured by narrow incised grooves that become stronger and more crowded on canal. Base weakly convex, evenly curved to canal. Aperture oval, inner lip rather evenly curved, columella almost straight. Anal sinus moderately deep, with strongly projecting outer lip. Canal short, broad. Colour oOE- white, with pale brownish band on periphery.
Dimensions: shell height 36.9 mm, last whorl height 22.8 mm, aperture height 17.3 mm, diameter 12.6 mm.
 Paratypes (35.9 Ö13.0 mm and 27.0 Ö9.7 mm) are similar to the holotype in all essential characters. The larger paratype is orange-brown but this may result from post mortem diagenetic processes.
 Remarks. Typhlosyrinx neocaledoniensis is most similar to T. praecipua, but diOEers in having a more slender shell with high spire, obsolete spiral sculpture even on early whorls, and early loss of axial sculpture (ribs are absent on last three whorls). The ribs are more numerous in T. neocaledoniensis than in any other congener: 13–16 on the last ribbed whorl vs 10–11 in T. praecipua and 10–12 in T. supracostata.
 Etymology. Named after the region of collection.

The 3D perturbed Schrödinger Hamiltonian in a Friedmann flat spacetime testing the primordial universe in a non commutative spacetime

description: In this paper we adapt the mathematical machinery presented in \cite{P1} to get, by means of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the Schrödinger operator perturbed by an actractive 3D delta interaction in a Friedmann flat universe. In particular, as a consequence of the treatment in \cite{P1} suitable for a Minkowski spacetime, the discrete spectrum of the ground state and the first exited state in the above mentioned cosmic framework can be regained. Thus, the coupling constant $λ$ must be choosen as a function of the cosmic comooving time $t$ as $λ/a^{2}(t)$, with $λ$ be the one of the static Hamiltonian studied in \cite{P1}. In this way we can introduce a time dependent delta interaction which is relevant in a primordial universe, where $a(t)\rightarrow 0$ and becomes negligible at late times, with $a(t)>>1$. We investigate, with the so obtained model, quantum effects provided by point interactions in a strong gravitational regime near the big bang. In particular, as a physically interesting application, we present a method to depict, in a semi-classical approximation, a test particle in a (non commutative) quantum spacetime where, thanks to Planckian effects, the initial classical singularity disappears and as a consequnce a ground state with negative energy emerges. Conversely, in a scenario where the scale factor $a(t)$ follows the classical trajectory, this ground state is instable and thus physically cannot be carried out.

description: We predict non-mesoscopic oscillations in the orbital magnetic moment of a thin semiconductor ring in the quantum Hall effect regime. These oscillations, which occur as a function of magnetic field because of a competition between paramagnetic and diamagnetic currents in the ring, are a direct probe of the equilibrium current distribution in the nonuniform quantum Hall fluid. The amplitude of the oscillating moment in a thin ring with major radius $R$ and minor radius (half width) $a$ is approximately $a R e ω_{\rm c} /c$, where $ω_{\rm c}$ is the cyclotron frequency.

description: Continuous institutional changes in the rural sector in Central Asia have negatively affected the reforms and the development of other related sectors, e.g. the irrigation sector. Therefore, reforms in the irrigation sector have been carried out in an ever changing and uncertain environment. Institutional changes have so far been aimed the farm level that was formerly managed by collective and state farms. Replacement of relatively few collective farms by thousands of individual farming units has resulted in chaos and anarchy in water management at on farm level. Water Users Associations (WUAs) were introduced in Kyrgyzstan to better organize farm level water management. The key questions concerning WUAs in Kyrgyzstan at present are: Do they provide better service for farmers in delivering water? Do irrigation services result in good crop yields? Are they financially viable? In order to answer these questions, the irrigation performance of four WUAs located within one main canal area in Osh province of Kyrgyzstan were assessed for the period 2003-2005. The analysis indicates that in spite of intense international support, WUAs in the study area were performing relatively poorly on irrigation service provision. However, there are signs of improvement, such as increasing water productivity, reduced water use and improved financial sustainability. The Kyrgyz experience on transformation of on-farm level water management from collective farms to WUAs can provide good examples for neighboring countries, e.g. Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, where agricultural restructuring has only started recently.
title: Processes of typification and allocation in a 9-13 middle school.
Creators: name: Troman, Arthur Geoffrey
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1986

description: This study is concerned with three related issues, the ideology and practice of middle schools, the perceptions middle school teachers have of their pupils and the allocation of their pupils to subject sets. The account provided is ethnographic in nature, although case study data are supplemented by evidence derived from repertory grid technique and large scale surveys. The ideology of middle schooling is contrasted with the reality of life in 9-13 middle schools, as indicated by data derived from large scale surveys and previous ethnographic studies. The development of Midway, the case study school, from a secondary modern school to a middle school is described. This development is then related to the perceptions held by the present staff of the school. Teacher constructs and the teachers' perceptions of their pupils are located in teacher biography and different traditions of schooling. These teacher perspectives are in turn related to the allocation process in which first year pupils are allocated to ability groups (sets) for Mathematics. The findings of this study are, firstly, that there is a gulf between the ideology and practice of middle schooling, which is revealed by the internal organisation of the 9-13 middle school: this does not reflect egalitarian concerns, but rather provides for the early selection of pupils for different routes through schooling, secondly, that this selection is found to take place at an early stage, and, thirdly, that teachers' perceptions of their pupils are highly influential in this process.

description: Absolute measurements of the differential cross section for elastic electron-proton scattering were made in the range of momentum transfer from Q('2) = 2.9 to 31.3 (GeV/c)('2) using an electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The data span six orders of magnitude in cross section. Combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in the cross section measurements ranged from 3% at low Q('2) to 19% at high Q('2). These data have been used to extract values of either the proton magnetic form factor G(,M)('p)(Q('2)) or Dirac form factor F(,1)('p)(Q('2)) under the assumption that the electric form factor G(,E)('p)(Q('2)) follows the scaling relation G(,E)('p)(Q('2)) = G(,M)('p)(Q('2))/(mu)(,p). The results at high momentum transfer are in rough agreement with the logarithmic falloff of Q('4)F(,1)('p) expected from leading twist predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD). An improved treatment is given for evaluating the argument of the running strong coupling constant (alpha)(,s)(Q('2)) in each QCD diagram, resulting in improved agreement of the leading twist predictions with the data at high Q('2).

description: We experimentally study the widths of resonances in a two-dimensional microwave cavity at room temperature. By developing a model for the coupling antennas, we are able to discriminate their contribution from those of ohmic losses to the broadening of resonances. Concerning ohmic losses, we experimentally put to evidence two mechanisms: damping along propagation and absorption at the contour, the latter being responsible for variations of widths from mode to mode due to its dependence on the spatial distribution of the field at the contour. A theory, based on an S-matrix formalism, is given for these variations. It is successfully validated through measurements of several hundreds of resonances in a rectangular cavity.

description: We report a spectropolarimetric study of the post-AGB binary system 89 Herculis, based on data acquired with the high-resolution Catania Astrophysical Observatory Spectropolarimeter, the HArps-North POlarimeter and the Echelle SpectroPolarimetric Device for the Observation of Stars. The linear polarization clearly detected across single atmospheric lines in absorption is characterized by complex Q and U morphologies that are variable with the orbital period of the system. Gauss-level magnetic fields, continuum depolarization due to pulsations, hot spots and scattering in the circumstellar environment were excluded as possible origin of the observed polarization. In the context of the optical pumping mechanism, we suggest that the anisotropy of the stellar radiation field, fuelled by the close binary companion, can be responsible of the observed periodic properties of the spectral line polarization. We conclude that high resolution linear spectropolarimetry could be an important diagnostic tool in the study of aspherical envelopes of cool and evolved stars.
The Renormalization of Non-Commutative Field Theories in the Limit of Large Non-Commutativity

description: We show that renormalized non-commutative scalar field theories do not reduce to their planar sector in the limit of large non-commutativity. This follows from the fact that the RG equation of the Wilson-Polchinski type which describes the genus zero sector of non-commutative field theories couples generic planar amplitudes with non-planar amplitudes at exceptional values of the external momenta. We prove that the renormalization problem can be consistently restricted to this set of amplitudes. In the resulting renormalized theory non-planar divergences are treated as UV divergences requiring appropriate non-local counterterms. In 4 dimensions the model turns out to have one more relevant (non-planar) coupling than its commutative counterpart. This non-planar coupling is ``evanescent'': although in the massive (but not in the massless) case its contribution to planar amplitudes vanishes when the floating cut-off equals the renormalization scale, this coupling is needed to make the Wilsonian effective action UV finite at all values of the floating cut-off.

TRADE MODELING AND TRADE POLICY EFFECTS: THE CASE OF PAKISTAN'S COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Creators: name: Tirmazi, Sarah Hasan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Pakistan's textile industry is of considerable importance to the economy. It is the largest employer in the manufacturing sector and contributes over thirty percent to Pakistan's exports. This research deals with the structure of this vital industry, and analyzes the importance and contribution of prices and domestic government policies in explaining the structure and growth of textile exports. In this context two econometric models have been estimated. In the first model, known in the traditional trade literature as the perfect substitutes model, an attempt has been made to determine domestic production, and domestic demand, with exports as a residual. In the second (imperfect substitutes) model, which is the more traditional approach in the empirical literature, export supply and export demand have been determined simultaneously. Policies have been incorporated in the supply-price variables in both models. The two estimated models have been simulated, and compared, using standard statistical criteria, to determine the relevance of each model to the structure of production and exports of Pakistan's textile industry. The imperfect substitutes model yielded a better fit. The results indicate that Pakistan's textile exports are dependent on foreign demand (and domestic supply), and are not merely a residual after domestic demand has been met. This result implies a degree of export dynamism in the industry. The results of the estimations show that price elasticity of supply and demand, and income elasticity of demand are very small in the domestic market, and large in the foreign market, indicating that there is great potential for the government to divert supply away from the domestic market and towards the foreign market, using trade policies. Within this framework, numerous policy simulations have also been run to illustrate the effect of alternative government policies on the level of exports, and an attempt has been made to measure the costs imposed on public revenues due to these respective policies. The policy simulation results indicate that historical export levels would have been achieved with much less cost to the government if there had been less reliance on subsidies, and greater use of a realistic exchange rate.

description: In this paper the problem of recovering a regularized solution of the Fredholm integral equations of the first kind with Hermitian and square-integrable kernels, and with data corrupted by additive noise, is considered. Instead of using a variational regularization of Tikhonov type, based on a priori global bounds, we propose a method of truncation of eigenfunction expansions that can be proved to converge asymptotically, in the sense of the $L^2$--norm, in the limit of noise vanishing. Here we extend the probabilistic counterpart of this procedure by constructing a probabilistically regularized solution without assuming any structure of order on the sequence of the Fourier coefficients of the data. This probabilistic approach allows us to use the statistical tools proper of time-series analysis, and in this way we attain a new regularizing algorithm, which is illustrated by some numerical examples. Finally, a comparison with solutions obtained by the means of the variational regularization exhibits how some intrinsic limits of the variational-based techniques can be overcome.

description: User Centered Design (UCD) applies an iterative design process in which the designer develops high-quality and usable products by understanding user's needs. In healthcare, UCD has been used to prioritize patients' and healthcare professionals' needs and experiences and help design interventions that are easy to understand and use. 
Within the design phases of UCD, prototypes are widely recognized as a core means of exploring and testing design products. Efficient prototyping methods are needed especially in adult critical care when UCD is applied in a fast-paced and challenging environment where clinicians face significant time pressure. However, Prior systematic and narrative reviews focused primarily on summarizing the most common methods used across UCD phases without looking into the methods used in the prototyping process or the focus of prototypes. Besides, prior reviews did not consider the characteristics of healthcare settings or how the setting would affect the methods used in prototyping. Therefore, there is a need to conduct a scoping review to explore how researchers design prototypes based on user needs.

description: In recent years, with the slowing down of Moore's law, utilization of hardware other than CPU such as GPU or FPGA is increasing. However, when using heterogeneous hardware other than CPUs, barriers of technical skills such as CUDA and HDL are high. Based on that, I have proposed environment adaptive software that enables automatic conversion, configuration, and high-performance operation of once written code, according to the hardware to be placed. Partly of the offloading to the GPU and FPGA was automated previously. In this paper, I improve and propose a previous automatic GPU offloading method to expand applicapable software and enhance performances more. I evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in multiple applications.

description: Some recent results for a three--dimensional, semi--classical, tight--binding model for DNA show that there are two types of polarons, named radial and twist polarons, that can transport charge along the DNA molecule. However, the existence of two types of base pairs in real DNA, makes it crucial to find out if charge transport also exist in DNA chains with different base pairs. In this paper we address this problem in its simple case, an homogeneous chain except for a single different base pair, what we call a base-pair inhomogeneity, and its effect on charge transport. Radial polarons experience either reflection or trapping. However, twist polarons are good candidates for charge transport along real DNA. This transport is also very robust with respect to weak parametric and diagonal disorder.

We also investigate the possible gravitational shortcuts and calculate the delay between graviton and photon signals and the ratio of the corresponding subtended horizons.

A STUDY OF DEAF CULTURE IN AN AMERICAN URBAN DEAF COMMUNITY
Creators: name: Carmel, Simon J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The dissertation focuses upon the study of the major cultural characteristics of members of a Deaf Community of a large midwestern American city. Previous studies have examined the psychological, sociological and linguistic aspects of Deaf Communities, but the cultural aspects and sociocultural institutions of Deaf Communities have been explored only rarely. The data were collected in 1979 and 1983. The primary field methodology was participant observation, supplemented with open-ended questionnaire interviews with Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened and Hearing Informants. Manualists and oralists were included in the sample. This research was conducted by a "native" deaf fieldworker who shared Deaf informants' feelings and thoughts and received full cooperation in helping the public understand the cultural phenomena found within the Deaf Community. A central finding of the study shows that sociocultural characteristics of Deaf Culture are qualitatively distinctive for both Deaf and Hearing informants, without focusing on sign language or the other modes of communication utilized by members of the Deaf Community. Particular cultural characteristics identified in this study are: perceptions of cultural "space," special labels to distinguish with self and others, marriage patterns, sex roles and gender divisions, club membership as means of creating and maintaining social relations, and special technological devices as a segmentation of the Deaf Community's visual repertoire. Conclusions explore the meaning of the term "Deaf Community" with the support of theories made by anthropologists and sociologists, the identification of individuals and groups as inherent in the membership of the Deaf Community, and the findings of "Deaf Culture" as evidenced in the field site. This study will help to open the door to more ethnographic studies of different Deaf Communities in the United States, as well as in other Western and non-Western countries, to identification of comparative sociocultural features, and to creation of Deaf "cultural universals.".

description: We give a topological description of the two-row Springer fiber over the real numbers. We show its cohomology ring coincides with the oddification of the cohomology ring of the complex Springer fiber introduced by Lauda-Russell. We also realize Ozsváth-Rasmussen-Szabó odd TQFT from pullbacks and exceptional pushforwards along inclusion and projection maps between hypertori. Using these results, we construct the odd arc algebra as a convolution algebra over components of the real Springer fiber, giving an odd analogue of a construction of Stroppel-Webster.

description: The dissertation focuses upon the study of the major cultural characteristics of members of a Deaf Community of a large midwestern American city. Previous studies have examined the psychological, sociological and linguistic aspects of Deaf Communities, but the cultural aspects and sociocultural institutions of Deaf Communities have been explored only rarely. The data were collected in 1979 and 1983. The primary field methodology was participant observation, supplemented with open-ended questionnaire interviews with Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened and Hearing Informants. Manualists and oralists were included in the sample. This research was conducted by a "native" deaf fieldworker who shared Deaf informants' feelings and thoughts and received full cooperation in helping the public understand the cultural phenomena found within the Deaf Community. A central finding of the study shows that sociocultural characteristics of Deaf Culture are qualitatively distinctive for both Deaf and Hearing informants, without focusing on sign language or the other modes of communication utilized by members of the Deaf Community. Particular cultural characteristics identified in this study are: perceptions of cultural "space," special labels to distinguish with self and others, marriage patterns, sex roles and gender divisions, club membership as means of creating and maintaining social relations, and special technological devices as a segmentation of the Deaf Community's visual repertoire. Conclusions explore the meaning of the term "Deaf Community" with the support of theories made by anthropologists and sociologists, the identification of individuals and groups as inherent in the membership of the Deaf Community, and the findings of "Deaf Culture" as evidenced in the field site. This study will help to open the door to more ethnographic studies of different Deaf Communities in the United States, as well as in other Western and non-Western countries, to identification of comparative sociocultural features, and to creation of Deaf "cultural universals.".
Inflation in Gauged 6D Supergravity

description: In this note we demonstrate that chaotic inflation can naturally be realized in the context of an anomaly free minimal gauged supergravity in D=6 which has recently been the focus of some attention. This particular model has a unique maximally symmetric ground state solution, $R^{3,1} \times S^2$ which leaves half of the six-dimensional supersymmetries unbroken. In this model, the inflaton field $ϕ$ originates from the complex scalar fields in the D=6 scalar hypermultiplet. The mass and the self couplings of the scalar field are dictated by the D=6 Lagrangian. The scalar potential has an absolute munimum at $ϕ= 0$ with no undetermined moduli fields. Imposing a mild bound on the radius of $S^2$ enables us to obtain chaotic inflation. The low eenrgy equations of motion are shown to be consistent for the range of scalar field values relevant for inflation.

(gures 40, 41)
 Type material. H olotype M N H N.
 Type locality. Indonesia, Strait of M akassar, 00ss31¾N, 117ss50¾E, 595 m [C orindon, sta. CH 214].
 Material examined. Philippines. Musorstom 2: Sta. CP 55, SW of Luzon I., 13ss54.1¾N, 119ss58¾E, 865 m, one dd (gure 41). Indonesia. Corindon: Sta. CH 214, M akassar Strait, 00ss31¾N, 117ss50¾E, 595 m, one dd (holotype, gur e 40).
 Distribution. Philippines and Indonesia, shells in 595– 865 m.
 Description. Holotype (gure 40). Shell slender, rather thin and fragile, slightly translucent, polished, spire occupying 38% of total shell height. Apex dissolved, protoconch missing, rst teleoconch whorls and parts of later whorls corroded. Teleoconch whorls ca 9.5, suture shallow, impressed, whorls weakly convex, periphery in lower third. No axial sculpture except incremental lines. Spiral sculpture consisting only of about 15 cords on canal, cords separated by narrow interspaces, more closely set towards end of canal. Aperture narrow, inner lip very weakly curved, columellar part long, almost straight. Anal sinus deepest just below suture, very broad but shallow, outer lip strongly projecting below sinus. Canal rather short, narrow, poorly diOEerentiated from shell base. Colour light brownish orange.
Dimensions: shell height 25.8 mm, last whorl height 16.0 mm, aperture height 13.1 mm, diameter 8.4 mm.
The specimen from the Philippines (gure 41) is 30.3 Ö9.0 mm at 9.81 whorls (apex dissolved). It diOEers from the holotype in having a relatively higher spire (42% of total shell height), and in its shining greyish white colour.
 Remarks. Leiosyrinx apheles is super cially similar to L. matsukumai; the two species co-occur in the Philippines, but L. apheles lives in deeper water. L. apheles diOEers from L. matsukuma i by its much more fragile and slender shell, lower position of whorl periphery, shallower and broader sinus, and weaker sculpture con ned to a few cords on canal only. The protoconch and rst teleoconch whorls are dissolved in both specimens of L. apheles available.
 Etymology. From the Greek apheles (adj.), meaning smooth, simple, with reference to the strongly reduced sculpture.

description: The nuclear charge radius of Li-11 has been determined for the first time by high precision laser spectroscopy. On-line measurements at TRIUMF-ISAC yielded a Li-7 - Li-11 isotope shift (IS) of 25101.23(13) MHz for the Doppler-free 2s - 3s transition. IS precision for all other bound Li isotopes was also improved. Differences from calculated mass-based IS yield values for change in charge radius along the isotope chain. The charge radius decreases monotonically from Li-6 to Li-9, and then increases from 2.217(35) fm to 2.467(37) fm for Li-11. This is compared to various models, and it is found that a combination of halo neutron correlation and intrinsic core excitation best reproduces the experimental results.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION AMONG COUNTRIES OF THE ARAB EAST
Creators: name: Reachard, Danny Joe
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This study finds that the states of the Arab East can be divided into three types, for each of which traditional economic integration holds as much threat as promise. Oil-producing states of the Gulf and Peninsula typically pursue policies of exporting oil to the West in return for Western manufactured goods. The trade barriers of a customs union or common market would severely constrict such trade. Entrepot states--notably Lebanon and Bahrain--which have tied their economic existence to serving the relationship between oil producers and the West would find their economic interests similarly damaged. A third group of states more closely resembles the traditional developing nation pattern, and attempts to stimulate trade among them face problems common to other attempts to promote trade among states producing the same mix of products. In addition, deep political divisions exist among these latter states. Not surprisingly, attempts to stimulate trade among the region's states have failed. The argument has recently been advanced that movements of labor and money within the region indicate a "natural" integration among the region's "capital-rich/labor-poor" oil-producing states and its "capital-poor/labor-rich" non-oil-producers. This study finds the above argument largely invalid. Movements of labor and money have led to increased interdependence among the region's economies, but not to greater integration among them. It is argued here that movements of labor and money in the region are not movements of factors of production, as they are often called, but are means of redistribution of oil revenues among the region's states. An Arab oil economy has developed--a system in which the political stability of both oil-producing and non-oil-producing states depends on the redistribution of oil wealth--but not an Arab economy as is usually argued.
