DEVELOPMENT AND THE ENCLOSURE MOVEMENT IN PASTORAL TIBET SINCE THE 1980s
نویسنده
چکیده
This article discusses the implementation of development policies in pastoral areas of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) since the reforms of the 1980s. It analyses why certain kinds of interventions particularly fencing have been introduced. The rhetoric and reality of markets, technology, degradation and land tenure in the reform era are put into ecological, historical and cultural perspective. The causes and potential consequences of widespread fencing are also considered and, based on these trends, the article speculates on the future development trajectory of pastoral areas in the TAR.

Transient Natural Convection in an Enclosure with Variable Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Nanofluid Properties
Transient natural convection is numerically investigated in an enclosure using variable thermal conductivity, viscosity, and the thermal expansion coefficient of Al2O3-water nanofluid. The study has been conducted for a wide range of Rayleigh numbers (103≤ Ra ≤ 106), concentrations of nanoparticles (0% ≤ ϕ ≤ 7%), the enclosure aspect ratio (AR =1), and temperature differences between the cold a...
