background: developing cities like khulna, the third largest metropolitan city in bangladesh, have now begun to confess the environmental and public health risks associated with uncontrolled dumping of solid wastes mainly due to the active participation of non-governmental organizations (ngos) and community-based organizations (cbos) in municipal solid waste (msw) management. methods: a survey ...

Traditionally, research into circuit-switched (C-S) networks has been divided into two areas, reliability and performance, each making little reference to the other. More recently, however, research has focused on unification of the two. One possible choice for a combined performance and reliability measure is the overall network grade-of-service (NGOS), i.e. the overall probability of blocking...

The industrial cluster of the Information communication technology (ICT) industry gradually shapes science parks around the world. Some studies have pointed out that science parks integrate the functions of both the industrial park and the incubator center. Science parks can shorten the learning curve and increase production efficiency using the cluster network. Science parks can also improve t...

This paper highlights how Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) can be utilized during the design of Information Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D). We use the design process of a voter education system as a case study, which incorporated three NGOs from two African countries. Of key interest to us are the ways in which we can avoid exploiting these NGOs and make sure the ICT in...

Moving beyond decades of mutual distrust and animosity, corporations and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are learning to cooperate with each other. Realizing that their interests are converging, the two sides are working together to create innovative business models that are helping to grow new markets and accelerate the eradication of poverty. The path to convergence has proceeded in thre...

NGOs are widely perceived to raise their flag in humanitarian hot-spots with strong media presence in order to attract higher private donations. We assess this hypothesis by comparing the changes in donations between US-based NGOs with and without activities in the four countries most affected by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004. Performing a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD)...
