The other, termed ‘indirect possession’, involves agreement marking of one of a small closed set of forms that precede the possessum noun. Many Oceanic languages have exactly two indirect host forms in this closed set. In these languages the forms always function to distinguish items intended for consumption (as in (2)b.) from a residual category of general possessions (as in (2)a.), as is the ...

The cost of conservation of germplasm stored in gene banks i.e., ex-situ collections has been studied in other parts of the world to estimate direct and indirect contributions by various actors involved in conservation. This is the first study of its kind in India done in collaboration with National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi. This was part of a sponsored research by Centre fo...

We introduce a new notion in self-assembly, that of transforming the dynamics of assembly. This notion allows us to have transformation of the plane computed within the assembly process. Then we apply this notion to zooming, which gives us an impossibility result allowing us to pinpoint the notion of locality in the assembly process, and then a construction which allows us to make assembly some...

The ABC framework provides determinants for leveraging the motivational power of online social networks with the determinants for promoting health behaviour changes. We designed VivoSpace, a medium fidelity prototype of an online social network to promote healthy behaviour changes based on the guidelines for incorporating these determinants. We evaluated the determinants of appeal, belonging an...

We answer these questions based on a large panel of US labor force participants. We show that education affects peoples’ decisions to become an entrepreneur negatively. We show furthermore that entrepreneurs ...

Why Are the Returns to Education Higher for Entrepreneurs than for Employees? We compare the returns to education (RTE) for entrepreneurs and employees, based on 19 waves of the NLSY database. By using instrumental variable techniques (IV) and taking account of selectivity, we find that the RTE are significantly higher for entrepreneurs than for employees (18.3 percent and 9.9 percent, respecti...

This paper considers the links between trade liberalisation and technology choice in the nonliberalising country. Trade-liberalisation-induced changes in relative product prices have direct effects on equilibrium relative factor returns. The consequent changes in relative input costs may also lead producers to switch to alternative technologies, which will in turn induce a further indirect chan...
