Even the United States of America which has emerged as the dominant economy of the global village, is forced to invest considerable resources in job creation and economic development programmes aimed at reducing institutional unemployment. This matter has become so significant in the ...

A model of major ejection events in Galactic superluminal sources GRO J 1655-40 and GRS 1915-105 is proposed, in which episodes of e−e+ pair creation give rise to the formation of optically thick outflows accelerating protons to the limiting Lorentz factor of order 2-3. Probable source of e−e+ pairs is pion production in nucleon collisions. Subsequent deceleration of ejecta and formation of rad...

Gene Ontology (GO) has been developed to provide concepts for the functional annotation of biological entities. This development has already contributed to significant biomedical research results. Nonetheless, GO could have provided even stronger support to biomedical text mining, if it delivered domain-independent logical definitions of its concepts. We present a method that extracts the seman...

In promoting a "New Policy Agenda," bilateral and multilateral donor agencies are keen to finance nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and grassroots organizations (GROs) on the grounds of their economic efficiency and contribution to "good governance." This paper reviews the impact of this trend on NGO/GRO programming, performance, legitimacy and accountability. It finds that much of the case ...

A progress report on our search for radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsars in the EGRET database is presented. The search technique utilizes signi cant computational resources of the Center for advanced Computing Research at Caltech to compute Gigapoint power spectra for some of the brighter, unidenti ed EGRET gamma-ray sources which, like Geminga, may not be visible at radio wavelengths. Two sources, G...

the backwardness of the countryside is most important issues of developing countries. the result of this study, based on descriptive - analysis studies, shows that revive traditional arts and crafts with much charm with planning and organizing on development stimulus projects, can direct influence on the villager’s empowerment. of course, the existence of such attractions, itself, without provi...
