This paper investigates the implications for international markets of the existence of retailers/wholesalers with market power. Two main results are shown. First, in the presence of buyer power trade liberalization may lead to retail market concentration. Due to this concentration retail prices may be higher and welfare may be lower in free trade than in autarky, thus reversing the standard e¤e...

Opnet in an Education Environment: the Simon Fraser University Experience

In this paper we discuss the network systems support for the OPNET (version 5.1.D) application at the School of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University (SFU), we describe a research project in wireless data networks using OPNET (version 5.1.D), and we discuss the teaching experiences using OPNET (version 4.0.A) at the University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV).

Radiocarbon dates on bones of extinct birds from Hawaii.

Bones from a stratified sedimentary deposit in the Puu Naio Cave site on Maui, Hawaiian Islands, reveal the late Holocene extinction of 19 species of birds. The age of the sediment and associated fauna was determined by direct radiocarbon dating (tandem particle accelerator-mass spectrometer; TAMS) of amino acids extracted from bones weighing as little as 450 mg. The 14C dates indicate that sed...
