Building upon previous projects from the first phase of collaboration with the Luce Foundation, the Berkley Center’s Religion and Global Development Program and World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD) are exploring key religion and development work at the country level in Bangladesh, Senegal, Kenya, and Guatemala. A team of researchers, under the leadership of Katherine Marshall, will draw fro...

Justin Marshall is Professor of Neurobiology and Marine Biology at the University of Queensland in Australia within The Queensland Brain Institute. He can be labelled a visual ecologist as he studies comparative eye design and how this is guided by the physics of light. He has co-written a book called “Visual Ecology”, co-edited a book called “Sensory Processing in Aquatic Environments”, is co-...

The New World genus Lepidosina Marshall & Buck gen. n. is described including nine new and two previously described species: L. angusticercus Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Caribbean, Central and South America), L. argentinensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Argentina), L. cubensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Cuba), L. evanescens Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Central and South America), L. gibba (Spuler) comb. n. (Fl...

This paper outlines and analyses the behaviours of small and medium enterprises with respect to the evaluation of electronic commerce investments, and the subsequent realisation of the anticipated benefits from those investments. The responses of executives who participated in the study suggested that on-going involvement in electronic commerce did not come cheaply. Nonetheless, our study sugge...

Bivariate semi-logistic and Marshall-Olkin bivariate semi-logistic distributions are introduced. Some properties of these distributions are studied. First order autoregressive processes with bivariate semi-logistic and Marshall-Olkin bivariate semi-logistic distributions as marginals are introduced and studied.

This study presents an application of neural networks (NN) for the prediction of Marshall test results for polypropylene (PP) modified asphalt mixtures. PP fibers are used to modify the bituminous binder in order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting asphaltic mixture. Marshall stability and flow tests were carried out on specimens fabricated with different type of ...
