Are roads key to raising living standards in poor rural areas? This study evaluates the impact of the World Bank–financed Viet Nam rural transport project I, a large-scale rural roads rehabilitation project that aims to reduce poverty. The analysis will focus on the welfare impacts of rural roads as an input to policy discussion about how best to allocate scarce public resources for poverty red...

Many aspects of Spanish phonology remain poorly described within feature-based frameworks, in part because it is not well understood to what extent phonological features are grounded in the phonetic domain. In this paper, we introduce a computational model of Spanish phonology based on articulatory primitives (Browman & Goldstein 1992) that is currently being developed as an extension of the Ta...

The estimated population of Viet Nam was 86 025 000 in 2009, 49.4% of them male. The population density is 263 persons per square kilometre, with most (70.3%) of the population living in rural areas. Over the past few years, the country has witnessed a gradual change in its population structure. In 2009, 25% of the population was aged 0-14 years, a decrease of 8.1% in comparison with 1999. Howe...

This paper proposes an efficient joint secret key encryption-channel coding cryptosystem, based on regular Extended Difference Family Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check codes. The key length of the proposed cryptosystem decreases up to 85 percent using a new efficient compression algorithm. Cryptanalytic methods show that the improved cryptosystem has a significant security advantage over Ra...

A unique nine-year collaborative programme between Vietnamese and international medical scientists and an aid organization has established an innovative and successful community-based dengue vector control programme in Viet Nam. The use of predacious copepods combined with new water management practices by nine communes in northern and central Viet Nam helped eliminate the main dengue vector mo...
