1. Husbands, Philip; An integrated approach to process planning and scheduling using genetic algorithms: Not known; This thesis presents a new integrated approach to process planning aad job-shop scheduling. The relationship between planning and scheduling is reassessed and the line between the two tasks is made significantly more blurred than in the usual treatment. Scheduling is traditionally seen as the task of finding an optimal way of interleaving a number of fixed plans which are to be executed concurrently and which must share resources. The implicit assumption is that once planning has finished scheduling takes over. In fact there are often many possible choices for the sub-operations in the plans. Very often the real optimisation problem is to simultaaeously optimise all the individual plans alzd the overall schedule. This thesis describes how manufa.cturing planning has been recast to allow solutions to the simultaneous plan and schedule optimisation problem, a problem traditionally considered too hard to tackle at all. A model based on simulated coevolution is developed and it is shown how complex interactions are handled in an emergent way. Results from various implementations are reported. Underlying this new approach is a feature based process planning system that is used to generate the space of all possible legal process plans for a given component. This space is then searched, in parallel with spaces for all other components, using an advanced form of genetic algorithm. The thesis describes the development of the ideas behind this technique and presents in detail the constituent parts of the whole system. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.21)

1. Recollections of California, 1846-1861. By General William T. Sherman; foreword by Joseph A. Sullivan: (in English) William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891) of Ohio won military fame as one of the greatest Union generals in the Civil War. His association with California began when he served as an aide to Generals Philip Kearny and Richard Barnes Mason during the Mexican War. He remained in California as an adjutant to General Persifor Smith. Sherman's military tour in California ended in January 1850, but he resigned his Army commission in 1853 and returned to California as manager of a new bank. Barring a brief trip east to bring his wife and daughter to their new home in San Francisco, Sherman remained until 1857. Recollections of California (1945) contains extracts from Sherman's published Memoirs dealing with his life in California as well as two letters written by Sherman from Monterey in 1848. These cover his voyage round the Horn and landing in Monterey and military missions to Los Angeles and San Francisco. He discusses the Army's problems of establishing military rule and recalls the discovery of gold, which transformed the military mission and his own life. Sherman chronicles his part in Governor Mason's historic inspection trip to the gold fields near Sutter's Fort in 1848 as well as his own business ventures of the time: a store at Coloma, surveying a channel through Suisan Bay, a ranch at Cosumnes River, and Sacramento land speculations. He describes San Francisco and the flood of immigrants to California, 1848-1849. From his later residence, he recalls the bank run of 1855 and the Vigilance Committee crisis of 1856. The excerpts end with Sherman's recollections of his life as attorney and educator, 1857-1861, before the Civil War called him back to military life. [Text] (4.69)

1. A woman's life-work: labors and experiences of Laura S. Haviland: (in English) Canadian-born Laura Haviland (1808-1898) was an evangelically-minded Quaker and later (for a time) a Wesleyan Methodist, active in education and social justice issues throughout her life. A Woman's Life Work is, above all, a religious autobiography chronicling her conversion experience and her desire to express faith through benevolent social action. She was brought up in New York State but moved to Raisin, Lenawee County, Michigan, following her marriage at sixteen. In 1837, influenced by the example of Oberlin College, she and her husband founded the Raisin Institute, an academy open to "all of good moral character" regardless of race. After her husband's death, she became increasingly involved with the underground railroad, traveling frequently to the South and enacting elaborate plans to help slaves escape. When the Civil War broke out, she organized relief efforts for wounded or imprisoned soldiers as well as for former slaves, refugees, and those who were illegally still held in bondage, working with the Freedman's Relief Association and the American Missionary Association, with which she established an orphanage primarily devoted to black children. Although she lectured, lobbied, and ministered, Haviland's forte was grassroots activism--organizing, protesting, lobbying, or demonstrating against the specific injustices she encountered. Her book is filled with individual stories of black-white relationships under slavery and includes a slave narrative from a man called "Uncle Philip," transcribed in his own words. Haviland writes graphic descriptions of the punishments meted out to slaves and gives the reader eyewitness accounts of war-time prisons, hospitals, soup kitchens and refugee camps. She provides extensive information about the subtle relationships between the Society of Friends and evangelical Christianity. Though Haviland became a Wesleyan Methodist for the most active period of her life, she returned to her Quaker origins shortly before her death. [Text] (5.39)

1. McCalman, Philip; Reaping What you Sow: An Empirical Analysis of International Patent Harmonization: This paper extends analysis of the GATT Uruguay Round by quantifying the impact of international patent harmonization as implied by the TRIPs agreement. Patent harmonization has the capacity to generate large transfers of income between countries, the US being the major beneficiary. Developing countries are major contributors to these transfers, but Canada, the UK and Japan also make sizable contributions. Furthermore, the increase in dead weight loss from higher standards of patent protection undermines the aggregate benefits of the Uruguary Round package, with this increase amounting to as much as one fifth of the efficiency gains from trade liberalization.

1. Roland Estrada, Adriaan Vos, De RC; Acceptability of local made baits for oral vaccination of dogs against rabies in the Philippines: (in English) AbstractBackgroundIn the Philippines, traditional mass dog vaccination campaigns have only achieved limited and transient success in dog rabies control, mainly because a large segment of the dog population is not accessible for traditional parenteral vaccination. Oral vaccination of dogs has been suggested as a supplementary method to increase the overall vaccination coverage of the dog populations involved. For this purpose, it is necessary to identify a suitable bait that is readily accepted by local dogs and that can be prepared without high costs.Materials and MethodsDuring a field study, dog bait-acceptance of several baits, made from inexpensive local available material, was examined in the Philippines.ResultsOf three baits tested, chickenneck, intestine, and boiled-intestine, the latter, made from boiled sections of the larger intestine of domestic pigs, had the highest acceptance-rate: none of the dogs that were offered a bait refused it, except for two dogs that ran away when approached.Other derivatives of the boiled-intestine bait were also accepted by almost all dogs. These baits, using the serosa of the smaller intestine as bait matrix were filled with fish, beef or pork scraps. However, preparation-time was longer and the costs of bait material were higher than those for the boiled-intestine bait (0.01 U$).ConclusionThe boiled-intestine bait can be produced at very low costs using locally available material and is extremely well accepted by local dogs, hence, providing a realistic opportunity to incorporate oral vaccination of dogs in the national rabies programme of the Philippines.

2. Roland Estrada, Ad Vos, Renato De Leon, Thomas Mueller; Field trial with oral vaccination of dogs against rabies in the Philippines: (in English) AbstractBackgroundThe potential role of oral vaccination of dogs against rabies in the Philippines was investigated in terms of safety and efficacy.MethodsPrior to the vaccination campaign, a house-to-house survey was carried out to collect data on the dog population in the study area, the coastal village of Mindoro. During the vaccination campaign all households were visited again, and all dogs encountered (>2 months old) were, if possible, vaccinated. Furthermore, 14 dogs vaccinated were bled on different occasions.ResultsDuring the survey, a total of 216 dogs were counted, and none of these animals had previously been vaccinated against rabies. Only 17 dogs could be restrained and subsequently vaccinated directly by the vaccinators. Another 126 dogs were offered a local-made boiled intestine bait, containing a capsule filled with 3.0 ml SAD B19 (107.9 FFU/ml). The bait acceptance rate of dogs offered a bait was 96.1%. The vaccination coverage of the dog population (> 2 months old) estimated by the number of animals vaccinated directly and the number of dogs that accepted a bait and subsequently punctured the vaccine container was 76%. Fifteen and 29 days after the vaccination campaign 6 and 10 dogs (n = 14) had rabies virus neutralizing antibody titres of ≥ 0.5 IU/ml, respectively. No unintentional contacts of nontarget species, including humans, with the vaccine virus were reported.ConclusionsThe results of the campaign show that oral vaccination of dogs against rabies is a promising supplementary method in dog rabies control in the Philippines.

3. ... ; Sub-inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin prevent quinolone-resistance in a penicillin-resistant isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae: (in English) AbstractBackgroundThe continuous spread of penicillin-resistant pneumococci represents a permanent threat in the treatment of pneumococcal infections, especially when strains show additional resistance to quinolones. The main objective of this study was to determine a treatment modality impeding the emergence of quinolone resistance.ResultsExposure of a penicillin-resistant pneumococcus to increasing concentrations of trovafloxacin or ciprofloxacin selected for mutants resistant to these drugs. In the presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin, development of trovafloxacin-resistance and high-level ciprofloxacin-resistance were prevented.ConclusionsConsidering the risk of quinolone-resistance in pneumococci, the observation might be of clinical importance.

1. KARR, Jean-Philippe; Effets non lineaires et quantiques dans les microcavites semi-conductrices: Ce travail est consacre aux microcavites semi-conductrices a puits quantiques. Ces dispositifs permettent d'atteindre le regime de couplage fort entre le mode resonant de la microcavite et les excitons du puits quantique. Le dedoublement des resonances optiques s'interprete en termes de modes mixtes exciton-photon appeles polaritons de cavite. On s'interesse aux non-linearites optiques provenant des interactions coulombiennes entre excitons et a leur influence sur les fluctuations quantiques du champ lumineux. Nous montrons qu'en excitation resonante sous incidence normale, les effets non lineaires peuvent etre decrits par un melange a quatre ondes degenere de polaritons donnant un terme de type Kerr. Une etude theorique detaillee demontre que l'on peut obtenir une compression de bruit du champ reflechi par la cavite. Nous avons mene les etudes experimentales sur une microcavite refroidie a 4K et excitee par un laser continu quasi-monochromatique. Le bruit est mesure au moyen d'une detection homodyne. L'ensemble des resultats est en bon accord qualitatif avec le modele. Nous observons un comportement bistable a haute intensite d'excitation. Nous mettons en evidence la dependance en phase de l'emission, confirmant l'existence d'un effet non lineaire coherent, et une reduction du bruit en dessous du bruit thermique provenant de la luminescence quasi-resonante. Enfin nous avons etudie theoriquement une autre configuration ou l'angle d'incidence est choisi de facon a optimiser l'efficacite du processus de melange parametrique a quatre ondes non degenere de polaritons. Le comportement du systeme est alors analogue a celui d'un oscillateur parametrique optique non degenere. Nous montrons que les intensites des deux faisceaux " signal " et " complementaire " presentent des correlations quantiques legerement au-dessus du seuil d'oscillation parametrique. ---------- We study semiconductor microcavities with embedded quantum wells. In such devices the strong coupling regime between the resonant cavity mode and the quantum-well excitons can be achieved. The optical resonances show a doublet structure which is interpreted in terms of mixed exciton-photon modes called cavity polaritons. This work is devoted to the optical nonlinearities coming from Coulomb interactions between excitons and their influence on the quantum fluctuations of the light field. We show that under resonant excitation at normal incidence, nonlinear effects can be described by a degenerate polariton four-wave mixing providing a Kerr-like nonlinear term. A detailed theoretical study shows that a noise reduction of the reflected field can be achieved. Experimental studies were conducted on a microcavity cooled at 4K and excited by a cw quasi-monochromatic laser. The noise of the outgoing field is measured using a homodyne detection setup. The results are in good qualitative agreement with the model. We observe a bistable behavior at high excitation intensity. We demonstrate the phase dependence of the emission, proving the existence of a coherent nonlinear effect. Noise reduction below the thermal noise coming from quasi-resonant luminescence is also evidenced. Finally, we conducted a theoretical study of another configuration where the angle of incidence is chosen in order to maximize the efficacy of the non-degenerate polariton four-wave mixing process. Then he system shows strong similarities with a non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator. We show that the intensities of the " signal " and " idler " beams are quantum correlated slightly above the parametric oscillation threshold. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.16)

1. Martin, Philip L.; Germany: Managing Migration in the 21st Century: This monograph reviews Germany's evolution from a country of emigration to a reluctant land of immigration between the 1960s and 1980s, as guest workers settled and asylum seekers arrived. During the 1990s, Germany became a magnet for diverse foreigners, including the families of settled guest workers, newly mobile Eastern Europeans and ethnic Germans, and asylum seekers from throughout the world. Germany, with a relatively structured and rigid labor market and economy, finds it easier to integrate especially unskilled newcomers into generous social welfare programs than into the labor market. Since immigration means change as immigrants and Germans adjust to each other, an aging German populace may resist the changes in the economy and labor market that could facilitate immigrant integration as well as the changes in culture and society that invariably accompany immigrants.

2. Martin, Philippe, Rey, Helene; Financial Super-Markets: Size Matters for Asset Trade: This paper presents a new theoretical framework to analyze financial markets in an international context. We build a two-country macroeconomic model in which agents are risk averse, assets are imperfect substitutes, the number of financial assets is endogenous, and cross-border asset trade entails transaction costs. We show that demand effects have important implications for the link between market size, asset prices and financial market development. These effects are consistent with the existing empirical evidence. Due to co-ordination failures, the extent of financial market incompleteness is inefficiently high. We also analyze the impact of domestic transaction costs and issuing costs on financial markets and returns. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.30)

1. Green, Christopher D., Groff, Philip R.; Auditory Implicit Learning, and Its Transfer to and from Visual Implicit Learning: Reber and others have shown that the passive learning of synthetic grammars ("implicit learning") is a robust phenomenon when visual stimulus materials are employed. It was the main aim of this study to discover if the same effects occur in the auditory modality, and then to determine if such learning can be transferred from the visual to the auditory mode, and vice versa. In the present study, first, the standard effect was replicated with visual material (Experiment I). Second the effect was also shown to occur when the same material was presented to the auditory modality (Experiment II). It was then shown that implicitly learned material can be transferred from the visual to the auditory modality (Experiment III) and from the auditory to the visual modality (Experiment IV). The implications of the results are discussed with respect to the debate about the "abstractness" or "concreteness" of the mental representation of the material learned.

2. Schyns, Philippe G., Rodet, Luc; Categorization creates functional features: Many theories of object recognition and categorization claim that complex objects are represented in terms of characteristic features. The origin of these features has been neglected in theories of object categorization. Do they form a fixed and independent set that exists before experience with objects, or are features progressively extracted and developed as an organism categorizes its world? This paper maintains that features can be flexibly learned, as a consequence of categorizing and representing objects. All three experiments reported in this paper used categories of unfamiliar computer-synthesized two-dimensional objects ("Martian cells"). The results showed that varying order of category learning induced the creation of different features that changed the perceptual appearance and the featural representation of identical category exemplars. Network simulations supported a flexible, rather than a fixed feature interpretation of the data. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.81)

1. Podgorsek, Robert-Philip; Diffusionsinduzierte Brechungsindexanderungen in Polymerfilmen als Funktionsprinzip optischer Chemosensoren - Optical chemo-sensors based on diffusion induced refractive index changes in polymer films: Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Winfried Monch, Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Hilmar Franke; (in German) In this thesis several polymer materials have been investigated with respect to their application as optical chemo-sensors, which are based on molecule diffusion into thin sensitive layers. The dynamic response of such sensors is mainly controlled by the diffusion kinetics of the molecules in the film. The solution of the diffusion differential equation (2nd Ficks law) in the case of thin films yields the temporary concentration profile of the molecules in the film. Linearity between the refractive index changes and the concentration follows directly from the Lorentz-Lorenz equation and therefore gives the same variation for the index changes. With that the development of the refractive index profile during in- and out-diffusion is well described by the diffusion theory and consequently the dynamic response of the optical sensor can be modelled by a suitable theory. Thin glass/silver/polymer multilayer systems have been characterised with respect to their optical sensing parameters by using metal film enhanced leaky mode spectroscopy. This useful optical technique, which offers the observation of the surface plasmon resonance and the leaky modes of thin dielectric films, has been improved for the analysis of inhomogeneous refractive index profiles by using a transfer-matrix formalism for layered media. Furthermore, waveguide birefringence experiments on thin anisotropic polyimide films as planar lightguides have been carried out to show how the sensitivity of the sensor can be optimised by a suitable choice or a specific modification of the polymer material.

1. Donoghue, Ellen M.; Elements of Support in Community-Based Forest Management Strategies: Contract NGOs in the Philippines: (in English) "In this paper, contract NGOs in the Philippines are examined in terms of their effectiveness at assisting community-based forest management groups. The focus is on the abilities of contract NGOs to provide services, use of participatory methods, and building the capacity of community groups. The analysis is based on data from four community-based forest management sites in the Philippines. Delivering services and building capacity contribute differently to the effectiveness of community-based forest management groups. While providing services such as training courses may improve the ability of community groups to manage forest resources, assistance that builds leadership skills, networks with other institutions, and norms within the community of resource users may contribute more to the resiliency of community-based forest management groups. The findings suggest that community groups are in need of greater levels of assistance to develop collective interests in forest resource management and to build the capacity to satisfy programmatic requirements in a long-term and sustainable method."

2. Soriano, Marietta; Selective Privatization of Forest Lands in the Philippines: An Alternative Approach to Forest Development: (in English) "The forest resources in the Philippines are diminishing at a very fast rate. This has been attributed to destructive logging on the part of the logging companies and slash-and-burn farming practiced by the uplanders and kaingineros. "The traditional policy of state ownership of the country's forest lands implies that the government should assume a dominant role in the conservation, protection, and development of forest resources. The burden of the overall management of forest resources is placed on the government's shoulder, being the owner of forest lands. "With the seemingly unstoppable and rapid rate of forest denudation, it may be said that the present forest management policies and strategies are ineffective. There seems to be a need to explore other approaches in order to solve the present forest management problems. "One possible alternative to consider is the privatization of forest lands on a selective basis. In this case, selected forest lands in the country may be disposed by the government for private ownership to logging companies, forest dwellers, tribal groups and rural communities. "It is the objective of this paper to discuss some realities whereby privatization of forest lands on a selective basis would be appropriate along the principles of productivity, sustainability, social equity and ecological stability. "HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF LAND OWNERSHIP IN THE PHILIPPINES "Historically, state ownership of forest lands in the Philippines finds its roots in the 'Regalian Doctrine' which stipulated that all lands in the whole archipelago were owned by the Spanish Crown unless the King of Spain granted ownership to individuals and groups. "The Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines (Presidential Decree No. 705) provides that all lands of public domain including waters, minerals, coal, petroleum and other minerals, all potential sources of energy, fisheries, wildlife and other natural resources belong to the state. The Decree guarantees that the government is the biggest land owner in the country. "Natural resources can be explored, developed or utilized only through license, concession or lease. Article 14 of P.D. 705 further stipulates that no land of public domain 18% in slope or over shall be classified as alienable and disposable (A & D) lands. Only agricultural lands, industrial or commercial, residential and resettlement land of public domain may be alienated. "Under the national laws and policies on land rights, most uplanders are virtually deprived of their rights to own land. An estimated 8 million Filipinos who have occupied and possessed lands for more than 30 years are indiscriminately labeled as squatters. "CONSEQUENCES OF STATE OWNERSHIP OF FOREST LANDS "There are many untoward consequences brought about by the policy of state ownership of forest lands. "Technical and Political Consequences: "Most forest dwellers/uplanders who have stayed in the forest for several generations feel that they own the land, however, national policies claim otherwise. This situation has led to indiscriminate exploitation of forest resources. The uplands became the state of competing complaints over resources between the small land claimants, migrants, and indigenous tribes, on one hand, and the corporate structures defended by mining, logging, pasture and other business activities, on the other. "Socio-Cultural Consequences: "Indigenous societies traditionally believed that they cannot survive unless they live in their ancestral lands. However, as a consequence of national policies, they are often considered as squatters in their own territories. The indigenous tribes consider themselves as guardians of the natural environment. They, too, have a legal claim over the lands they occupy by virtue of their long stay and spiritual attachment as part of their whole being. "Ecological and Economic Consequences: "Deforestation through destructive logging and erroneous upland cultivation has resulted in tremendous disturbance of the fragile ecosystem, erosion of soil, degradation of soil fertility, and consequently, lowering of agricultural production. Degraded watershed with their lowered water-retention capacity caused serious damage to irrigation schemes and hence, food production in the lowlands become low; siltation of rivers caused flooding with destruction of crops, houses, roads, and the loss of animal and human lives. "THE ISSUE OF SELECTIVE PRIVATIZATION OF FOREST LANDS "The Selective Privatization concept may be simply viewed as granting, for private ownership, selected portions of forest lands/uplands to private individuals or groups or logging companies who have been occupying such lands for a period of at least 20 years. Privatized forest lands, however, should only be managed for forestry and agroforestry purposes. "Urgency of Forest Protection and Rehabilitation: "It is a fact that private ownership possesses the logic of protection and conservation which are vital components of Forest Management. In essence, the incentives inherent in the private property compel the owner to protect his lands and the trees he planted. The system mobilizes the owner as an effective agent of forest protection and conservation. "Population Pressure and Shrinking Agricultural Production: "The most talked about forced of change in land ownership from public to private is increase in population. In the Philippines, it is a well accepted fact that the population both in the upland and lowlands is rapidly expanding. "Urgency of Protecting the Rights Of Tribal Filipinos: "Various laws, decrees and Administrative Orders were designed to protect the rights and interest of the tribal Filipinos, however, evidence shows that these have been inadequate. "STRATEGIES TO BACK-UP THE PRIVATIZATION POLICY "To make the privatization policy workable, the following strategies may be considered: "Reclassification of Forest Lands-- "This should be carried out to determine suitable areas for privatization. A holistic approach in forest classification should be used. "Interagency Coordination-- "There should be a harmonious coordination among the different government organizations/institutions for the implementation of the program. "Financial Assistance-- "To encourage forest land owners to make long term investments in their lands, the government should extend low interest loans. "Technical Assistance-- "Appropriate technologies of production should be properly introduced to forest occupants/owners especially to small families. "Immediate Privatization of Tribal Lands-- "These strategies would encourage participation and cooperation of poor upland owners. "CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS "The system of private ownership in selected forest lands has some potentials to contribute to the overall forest development efforts. It appears that there are realities in the Philippines that would justify the privatization of forest lands as one approach to forest management. "However, there is a need to conduct pilot programs on privatization in selected uplands/forest lands to thoroughly evaluate its effectiveness and properly identify some loopholes before its adoption on a wide scale basis is carried out."

3. McDermott, Melanie H.; Boundaries and Pathways: Indigenous Communities, Ancestral Domain, and Forest Use in Palawan, the Philippines: (in English) "Indigenous people, their allies, and the states which they have recently challenged have centered their contests over rights and resources on the issue of boundaries--boundaries of territory and boundaries of identity. In the case of one Philippine indigenous community and its struggle for state recognition of its ancestral domain, however, this study finds that boundaries are less important than 'pathways,' i.e., flows across boundaries. If boundaries represent social relations of inclusion and exclusion from group membership and access to resources, pathways indicate social relations of access and exchange. This paper examines how local responses to changing macro political-economic factors, in particular migration, markets, and state interventions, transform these boundary and pathway relations, and thereby resource use patterns and the productivity and diversity of the landscapes they shape. "Market and migrant pressures are commodifying and partially privatizing land, further commodifying the historic trade in forest products, and deepening debt. Together these trends are stimulating economic differentiation within the community, largely along ethnic lines. In response to these pressures and to the opportunities provided by the states boundary-making policy initiatives and by pathway alliances with non-governmental organizations, Batak and Tagbanua 'tribal' people are making strategic use of a newly pantribal 'indigenous' identity to formalize and defend their 'ancestral' territorial boundaries. "I argue that when boundary-based policy instruments fail to address pathway relations of access to resources, particularly political and financial capital, they consequently make it difficult for indigenous people to maintain territorial boundaries and sustain forest-based livelihoods. In its early phases, then, it is not surprising that the ancestral domains policy has not significantly modified the shifts in resource use patterns brought about in response to previous state actions, migration, and market forces. Specifically, all farmers are shortening swidden fallow periods, while the better-off are planting tree crops and establishing irrigated rice fields; at the same time, harvesters continue to over-exploit forest products. Indicative data suggest that the shorter term environmental impacts include loss of biodiversity, declining yields to shifting agriculture and forest harvesting, and a slower, but more permanent, rate of forest conversion."

1. Couty, Philippe, Farhat, Mohamed, Avellan, Francois; Physical Investigation of a Cavitation Vortex Collapse: Most of severe cavitation erosion of hydraulic machines are found to be associated with the collapse of transient cavitation vortices downstream of a leading edge cavity. The dynamics of such a type of cavitation is studied in a Cavitation Vortex Generator (CVG). By producing the cyclic growth and collapse of a single cavitation vortex, this device provides a way to investigate the mechanisms involved in the final stage of the vapour cavity collapse. The observations of vapour structures and emitted shock waves are based on high-speed visualisations (up to $2 10^6$ frames/s) which are obtained by using a shadowgraph video system. Luminescence sources which are emitted during the collapse are visualised by using an intensified camera. By adjusting a short exposure time of 500 $ns$ before shock waves are captured, this allows the time of minimum cavity volume and position to be estimated. This paper presents the complex physical mechanisms of cavitation vortex collapse which have been pointed out with these simultaneous visualisations. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.07)

The evolution of the cavity length with the cavitation number is given for three different temperatures. These data are used to estimate the thermodynamic effect in R114. In addition, the onset of cavitation instabilities (alternate blade cavitation and rotating cavitation) are determined from the analysis of pressure fluctuations. The thermodynamic effect which affects the onset of instabilities is also estimated and compared to the one deduced from visualizations. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.52)

Schnabel, Kai Philipp; Entwicklung und Evaluation eines Expertensystems zur Prognoseabschatzung bei Kindern mit Hirnstammgliomen: (in German) An expert system for the estimation of a prognosis was developed and evaluated which uses a new kind of valuation. Brainstem gliomas in the childhood were chosen as an example of a disease. HISTAGLI consists of an information component which gives an overview about the disease, a database in which all patient data is presented as text and graphics, and a prognosis creation component which creates a prognosis for newly inserted patients in six categories under consideration of different therapy pattern and explains the way towards the estimation of the prognosis. The knowledge base of the prognosis creation component was made out of the clinical and histopathological data of 23 children with brainstem gliomas halfautomaticly valued by an expert. There was a high correlation of 78,26% (with one category toleranz 86,96% ) accordance with the real prognosis of the patients. This result is only restricted transferable to new patients because of the number of cases which is too small for statistical evidence. Higher precision is expected with appropriate maintenance and an increasing number of cases. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.53)

Olsen, Philip Dmitri; The Synthesis of Deuterated Arylamine DNA Adducts for Use in the Development of an Isotope Dilution LC/MS/MS Method: (in English) Polycyclic aromatic amines (arylamines) are a class of chemical carcinogens that are prevalent in environmental and industrial settings. In order to study the mechanism of their toxicity a quantitative and qualitative detection method was developed to measure the C8-adenine adducts of benzidine and 2-aminofluorene in DNA samples. To do this a novel synthetic method using a palladium catalyst was developed to prepare authentic and deuterated arylamine adducts to serve as standards. These standards were then used to develop a high performance liquid chromatography, electrospray, tandem mass spectrometry, isotope dilution, detection method. To demonstrate the validity of this method two spike and recovery experiments were performed. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.28)

We consider two aspects: specification and validation of dependability objectives, and definition of dependable hardware and software architectures. The second aspect is discussed in more detail, focusing on the integration of the different subsystems into a global computer system. Different architectures are compared, taking into account the real-time environment, the logical and physical distribution of hardware and software, the allocation of functions to the subsystems and the communication between sensors, controllers and actuators. We argue that a global approach to dependability will be necessary to cope with the awaited functional integration. [Text] (2.15)

1. Patzold, Gunter [Hrsg.]; Profile der historischen Berufsbildungsforschung: (in German) Vom 15. bis 17. September 1999 fand an der Universitat - Gesamthochschule Paderborn das 4. Forum zur Berufsbildungsforschung statt. Mit dem Stand, den Standards und der Zukunft der Historischen Berufsbildungsforschung setzen sich Rolf Seubert (Universitat Siegen); Holger Reinisch (Universitat Jena); Jens Klusmeyer (Universitat Oldenburg); Martin Kipp (Universitat Hamburg) und Jurgen Zabeck (Universitat Mannheim) in ihren Beitragen auseinander. Ihre aktuellen Forschungsvorhaben auf dem Felde der Historischen Berufsbildungsforschung prasentieren Helmut Mehnert (Technische Universitat Berlin); Philipp Gonon (Universitat Trier) sowie Gunter Patzold und Manfred Wahle (Universitat Dortmund). Dieser inhaltliche Schwerpunkt konnte angesichts der gegenwartig herausfordernden Berufsbildungsprobleme auf einiges Unverstandnis stossen, zumal in Kreisen der heutigen Berufspadagogik und Berufsbildungsforschung (zu Recht) ein zentrales Interesse daran besteht, "Herausforderungen, Perspektiven und Moglichkeiten" der beruflichen Bildung "beim Start ins nachste Jahrhundert" aufzuzeigen, wie es beispielsweise das Thema des 3. BIBB-Fachkongresses vom Oktober 1996 verdeutlicht. Ein Blick auf die davon relativ weit entfernte berufs- und ausbildungsspezifische Lage vor gut 200 Jahren interessierte dabei entweder gar nicht oder nur sehr am Rande, obwohl sich der genannte Kongress unter dem - programmatischen - Titel "Berufliche Bildung - Kontinuitat und Innovation" versammelte und insofern wenigstens teilweise eine ausbildungshistorische Perspektive eroffnete. Damit wird zugleich deutlich: Die aktuelle Diskussion um Reformprojekte in der Berufsbildung, um die Zukunft des Dualen Systems oder um fruchtbare Theorieansatze und relevante Aufgaben der Berufsbildungsforschung teilen mehr oder weniger stark offensichtlich einen Zweifel: dass berufspadagogisch-historische Beitrage brauchbare Antworten auf drangende ausbildungsspezifische und -politische Problemlagen liefern konnen. Insgesamt liefern die Beitrage dieses Bandes interessante Informationen und Anregungen fur eine intensive und lohnende Diskussion uber die Fragen der Relevanz, der Aktualitat und der Profile der berufspadagogisch-historischen Forschung.

1. Cuyno, Leah Marquez; AN ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF THE HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THE INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (IPM CRSP) IN THE PHILIPPINES: Ed Rajotte, Dan Taylor, Agnes Rola, Dixie Reaves, George W. Norton; (in English) <b><center>AN ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF THE HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THE INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (IPM CRSP) IN THE PHILIPPINES<p></b></center> <p> <p> <center>Leah Concepcion Marquez Cuyno<p></center> <p> <p> <center>(ABSTRACT)<p></center> Concern about externalities associated with pesticide use in developing countries has motivated the development of integrated pest management (IPM) programs in these areas. In the Philippines, the IPM Collaborative Research Support Program (IPM CRSP) was established to specifically address the widespread misuse of pesticides in the rice-vegetable systems of Nueva Ecija, one of the major rice and onion producing regions in the country. IPM CRSP initiatives include research on the optimal use of pesticides, complementary weed control strategies, and alternative cultural and biological controls. If successful, the program should generate benefits that can be measured in economic terms. These benefits include improvements in water quality, food safety, pesticide applicator safety, and long run sustainability of pest management systems.<p> This study was designed to measure the health and environmental benefits of the IPM CRSP in the Philippines. A survey questionnaire was administered to 176 onion farmers in five villages in Nueva Ecija to identify farm and farmer characteristics, pesticide usage, pest management practices, perceptions about pesticide hazards, awareness of IPM strategies, and willingness to adopt specific technologies being developed under the IPM CRSP. In addition, a contingent valuation survey was used to elicit farmers' willingness-to-pay to avoid risks posed by pesticides to different environmental categories.<p> A comprehensive economic measure of the benefits of IPM CRSP was derived by 1) assessing the hazards associated with pesticide usage, 2) providing an ex ante measure of program impacts on pesticide usage, 3) predicting IPM adoption rates, and 4) estimating society's willingness-to-pay to avoid the health and environmental risks from pesticides under Philippine conditions. A measure of the amount of risks avoided as a result of IPM CRSP adoption was combined with farmers' willingness to pay bids for risk avoidance to derive a monetary value of the program benefits. The estimated economic benefits of the IPM CRSP to farmer residents in 5 villages in Nueva Ecija amount to 230,912.00 pesos for one onion season. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.40)

2. Masangkay, Marissa Y.; VALUES THAT SHAPE THE SOCIAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE TOWN CENTER IN BINAN, LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES: TERRY CLEMENTS, Joseph Scarpaci, Patrick Miller; (in English) This study was conducted to identify how daily use rituals affect function, values, and symbolic meanings residents attach to the town center of Binan Laguna, Philippines. If values and meanings affect the transformations of the built environment, how are social and cultural values related to the temporal and spatial use of the town center? Furthermore, what are the symbolic meanings that the residents attach to the town center? This exploratory study attempts to investigate the morphological changes of the physical and social aspects of the town center's built form. The physical aspect focuses on the function or use and morphological changes of the town center. The social aspect focuses on the symbolic value and associational meaning of the town center to town residents. Other studies on plazas and town centers have only concentrated on site observations, personal interviews, surveys, and urban morphological studies respectively. While these methods show significant results, the focus becomes isolated either only on the users or the built environment or users and the built environment in a confined synchonic analysis. This exploratory study will bridge the gap between the users and the built environment by employing the diachronic analysis using the following methods: personal interviews, site observations, behavioral mapping, and urban morphological analysis. The first three methods deal with the present, and the last method deals with the past, all of which would provide a basis of understanding for future decisions on the built environment. The results show that a hierarchy of religious, economic, and political values is related to daily use rituals of the town center. Likewise, the spatial use of the town center shows its relevance to these rituals. While the results of values show that religion is on top of the hierarchy, the results of symbolic associations reveal that the town center is synonymous to the public market, hence, placing economic activity on top of the hierarchy. This research can provide a model for further investigation and stimulate more comprehensive studies of users' values, meanings, and use of other plazas and town centers since data on Philippine plazas and town centers are so limited. This study could also serve as a model for inventory and collection of data resources for similar towns in the Philippines on which information is extremely deficient. Designers and urban planners can utilize this research project as a source of information and understanding for future design and planning initiatives that focus on social morphology of town centers undergoing suburbanization.

3. Mamaril, Cezar Brian Castillo; Transgenic Pest Resistant Indica Rice: An Ex-ante Economic Evaluation of an Adoption Impact Pathway in the Philippines and Vietnam for Bt Rice: George W. Norton, Bradford Mills, Darrell Bosch; (in English) Research and development of Bt rice in Southeast Asia has been overshadowed by the contentious debate over the potential release of transgenic food crops into the region. The study provides empirical evidence on the potential size and distribution of economic benefits of adopting Bt Indica rice in the Philippines and Vietnam through the years 2000 to 2020. Total welfare gains from Bt rice are projected at 618.8 million USD (discounted at 5 percent) and aggregate benefits by region are projected at 269.6 million USD for the Philippines, 329.1 million USD for Vietnam, and 20.1 million USD for the rest of the world. Simulation results indicate that producers in both countries will capture 66.5 percent of the total welfare effect from Bt rice adoption, 25.9 percent will accrue to consumers, 3 percent to the rest of the world, and the loss in Philippine government revenue accounts for 4.6 percent of the total welfare effect. The study also reports how other factors will determine the size and distribution of economic benefits of Bt rice. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.97)

We investigate two promising sub-processes: technipion plus W-boson via gluon-gluon fusion and technipion plus quark production via quark gluon interaction. The decay chain of technipion to top plus bottom quarks and then top to W plus bottom yields final states for the two subprocesses with, respectively, two W's and two bottom quarks and one W, two bottom quarks and a light quark. We calculate the total cross sections and the $p_{T}$ distributions for these technipion production mechanisms at Tevatron and LHC energies for a range of technipion masses, starting at 200 GeV. We study the backgrounds to our processes and the kinematic cuts that enhance the signal to background ratio and we report event rate estimates for the upgraded Tevatron and the LHC. Only the LHC has the potential to observe these processes., Comment: 9 pages, latex, uses revtex.sty [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.90)

2. Candelas, Philip, Perevalov, Eugene, Rajesh, Govindan; F-Theory Duals of Nonperturbative Heterotic E8xE8 Vacua in Six Dimensions: We present a systematic way of generating F-theory models dual to nonperturbative vacua (i.e., vacua with extra tensor multiplets) of heterotic E8xE8 strings compactified on K3, using hypersurfaces in toric varieties. In all cases, the Calabi-Yau is an elliptic fibration over a blow up of the Hirzebruch surface F_n. We find that in most cases the fan of the base of the elliptic fibration is visible in the dual polyhedron of the Calabi-Yau, and that the extra tensor multiplets are represented as points corresponding to the blow-ups of the F_n., Comment: 24 pages, LaTex, no figures. Significant errors corrected, leading to a modification of some of our conclusions. References added [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.85)

3. Page, Philip R.; Strong Decays of Hybrid Mesons from the Heavy Quark Expansion of QCD: We calculate the strong decays of hybrid mesons to conventional mesons for all the lowest lying J^PC hybrids of flavour uu, dd, ss, cc and bb. A decay operator developed from the heavy quark expansion of quantum chromodynamics is employed. We show that the selection rule that hybrid mesons do not decay to identical S-wave mesons, found in other models, is preserved. We predict decays of charmonium hybrids, discuss decays of J^PC=1^-+ exotic isovector hybrids of various masses, and interpret the \pi(1800) as a hybrid meson., Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, 2 eps figures.
