Thanks to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), the Vaccine Fund and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the global health community has made enormous progress in providing already existing vaccines to developing countries. However, there still exists a gap to develop vaccines for which there is no market in the Western world, owing to low economic incentives for the privat...

In this paper we compute for paths and cycles certain graph domination invariants like locating domination number, differentiating domination number, global alliance number etc., We also do some comparison analysis of certain parameters defined by combining the domination measures and the second smallest eigen value of the Laplacian matrix of all connected graphs of order 4.While discussing app...

Finding reliable data to inform decisions about technology for global development remains a challenge. Easily accessible "Knowledge platforms” are a way to curate and standardize information about technology for development. Three collaborators, Engineering for Change, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and the Center for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST) are working toge...

Progress toward better understanding of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their contribution to knowledge-based urban development is evident. The move has been made from Mitchell's (1995) visions of electronic ago-ras and windowless and peopleless libraries, and discussions of expected policy challenges and implications toward academic and applied attention to the ICT-relate...

It was a revolt against the king of Spain who was later also king of Portugal that created the Dutch Republic. Success at sea through the application of various aspects of nautical science, including shipbuilding and navigation, generated prosperity in the small state and ensured its survival.

Against the historical background of burgeoning platform economy and promotion common prosperity, this paper focuses on impact development urban–rural income gap. Theoretical mechanism analyses are conducted from three aspects such as nonlinear action gap, rural human capital level-based moderating effect, spatial spillover effect. Moreover, empirical carried out using threshold model, interact...
