one which could well have been applied to the pioneers of many reforms. This is, of course, the Abortion Law Reform Association. Mrs. Jenkins is well fitted to describe it, for she was a co-foundress, and she has been actively concerned for 34 years : and her account is vivid and stimulating. The method of approach is, however, more to recount a series of anecdotes?very telling ones?than to pre...

The shape isomers of the 28Si nucleus are derived from Nilsson model calculations combined with quasidynamical SU(3) symmetry considerations, and their possible binary clusterizations are determined. The results are compared with those of other calculations. Concerning the superdeformed state our finding gives support to the new candidate suggested by Jenkins et al. [Phys. Rev. C 86, 064308 (20...

     Drug design is generally achieved through trial and error methods, which is a time and resource consuming process and novel methods are needed to improve it. Mathematical modelling is one of the possible solutions to speed up this process. In this study, we have presented Box-Jenkins model, to predict the vasorelaxant activity (pEC50) of a set of benzopyrane compounds. We used t...

This paper represents a first attempt to gather the issues of growth “pro-poorness” andmultidimensional poverty assessments. More precisely, we suggest the use of sequential dominance procedures (Bourguignon, 1989, Atkinson, 1992, Jenkins and Lambert, 1993) to test the “pro-poorness” of observed growth spells when poverty is measured on the basis of income and some other discrete well-being att...

Social media gives previously silent masses an expressive voice in a possible participatory democracy. The majority of these are critiques Henry Jenkins' writings, who is advocate web-based Jenkins was attacked by Fuchs for minimizing participation to its cultural value and so disregarding the importance ownership determining scope mode participation. A truly democracy must also be property dem...

The aim of this work is to design an alarm system that allows protecting and preventing crop-freezing damages taking decisions with enough time to react. A first step was to obtain a temperature forecast mode. In this line an hourly temperature series was analyzed with Box-Jenkins methodology ( ARIMA models). An alarm system is designed based on these forecast, at each 12 hours, in the air temp...
