The de-collectivization of Vietnamese agriculture was a crucial step in the country’s transition to a market economy. The assignment of land-use rights had to be decentralized, and local cadres ostensibly had the power to capture this process.

Accurate treatment of the plasma density effects requires a detailed knowledge of spatial distribution of individual ions around a test ion. The 2-body and 3-body distribution functions involving the nearest neighbor (NN) and the next-nearest neighbor (NNN) ions have recently been derived [1], valid for both ideal and nonideal plasmas. Here we apply these results to determine the effect of a fe...

Prior demographic confirmation of this estimate was provided by Anderson and Silver who contended that killings were unlikely to exceed a few million and could not be more than 4.8 million victims...
