Dose the FDI Flow into Arab Region Influenced by the Global Financial Crisis?

This study provides an overall view of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows for the Arab region during the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008. There a little attention has given to the FDI flows in Arab region as the main focus was on the countries where the GFC started. The objective of this study is to compare and analyses the global FDI inflows with Arab region during the GFC. It attempts to answer the question whether the FDI flow into Arab region was impacted immediately by the GFC? It provides a case analysis of FDI inflows in the Arab countries to test what is the reduction in these inflows? Are FDI inflows hold due to the assumption of that the region is considered as preferable distention to FDI? The study gives better understanding to the share of each individual Arab country over the period. It also introduces a case analysis of FDI inflow for Arab countries then compare it with other global regions

Weak one-basedness

We study the notion of weak one-basedness introduced in recent work of Berenstein and Vassiliev. Our main results are that this notion characterises linearity in the setting of geometric þ-rank 1 structures and that lovely pairs of weakly one-based geometric þ-rank 1 struc- tures are weakly one-based with respect to þ-independence. We also study geometries arising from infinite dimensional vector spaces over division rings

Implementing Transimpedance Amplifier in 0.35 µm CMOS Technology

The following will be the design mechanism of the transimpedance amplifier and the RF resistor feedback, as well as how it is performed using the 0.35μm CMOS technique. The NMOS transistor has been placed from the conventional transimpedance amplifier as an active feedback contractor. We apply 3.3V voltage and 0.5μA photocurrent works in a circuit. The transimpedance amplifier is proposed after noise reduction, thus quantitating the larger dynamic range and in same time large gain. The simulation work of the transimpedance gain results in both of the single-phase and three-phase transimpedance amplifiers at the voltage gate which is 4.43 cubic meters and 4.39 cubic meters. Then the one-phase power dissipation and three-phase transimpedance amplifier is 602.04 μW and 1.781mW in the voltage gate of 2.0V [1,2]

An Analysis of Benefit Flows in New Zealand using a Social Accounting Framework

This paper presents a social accounting model to examine the entrants, exits and transitions of individuals among a wide range of benefit categories in New Zealand. Transition rates and flows are estimated separately for periods before the global financial crisis (GFC) and periods following the crisis. The data were obtained from the Benefit Dynamics Dataset maintained by the Ministry of Social Development. The model is used to examine, using simulations, the implications for the time profile of changes in the stock of benefit recipients under a range of counterfactual situations. It is suggested that the model can provide a useful tool for policy analysis

The Distribution of Income and Fiscal Incidence by Age and Gender: Some Evidence from New Zealand

This paper examines the age and gender dimensions of income distribution and fiscal incidence in New Zealand using Household Expenditure Survey (HES) data for 2010 and a non-behavioural micro-simulation model. Since many fiscal policies are likely to have quite different incidences across age groups and genders, and with population ageing changing the age and gender composition of the voting population in many countries, age/gender dimensions of fiscal incidence become increasingly relevant. While this single ‘age distribution snapshot’ cannot fully capture lifecycle incidences, it avoids the complex and uncertain assumptions implicit in the latter and is an important component of lifetime redistribution calculations. We explore alternative methods of intra-family allocation of resources including ‘unequal share’ assumptions based on recent research into how families allocate their spending. Our evidence, which in general is not highly sensitive to sharing assumptions, suggests a strong ‘life cycle’ aspect to fiscal incidence whereby net tax liabilities are low, and generally negative, at younger and older ages but positive during much of the ‘working age’ period. Women, on average, are found to have a systematically and persistently lower net fiscal liability than men, most pronounced at older ages when greater female longevity exercises a strong influence. Nevertheless, considerable heterogeneity of fiscal incidence for both men and women is observed with the distributions of various fiscal incidence measures showing substantial overlap

Subsea Production Control System Modelling

Subsea control systems in subsea production system (SPS) play a vital role in the safe and productive operation of any oil or gas field. These systems operate in extreme environments, thus making the installation and commissioning the system risky and costly. For a new developer, a better understanding on how the system works is needed to ensure that the system will meet all design specifications and reduce the risk and costs associated with installation and commissioning. Leading oil and gas companies turned to identify the critical responses and behaviors expected from the designed system through simulation software, where the whole subsea control systems from the Hydraulic Power Unit to the Subsea Control Module can be modeled. In this report, a case study from Cadlao field off the shores of Philippines is used to perform a simulation study on. The field uses a direct hydraulic control system, which from the literature review done, is considered to be the building stone of all other control systems available. The simulation was made by a new simulation tool called Agito ITI SimulationX. The simulation results are then compared with those from the actual field outputs recorded from the Cadlao field. The results of the simulation and the discussion showcases the response of the gate valve actuator and its relation with umbilical hose and Directional Control Valve. Comparison between the experimented results and the simulated results were made to stand upon relativeness of the simulated results

Investigation of path loss prediction in different multi-floor stairwells at 900MHz and 1800MHz

Wireless communication along the stairwell in a high rise building is important to ensure immediate response to take place via consistent relaying of necessary information or data in emergency situations. Thus, a good understanding of signal wave attenuation along the stairwell is necessary to allow a better wireless network planning. This paper presents empirical path loss prediction model for multi-floor stairwell environment. The proposed model is based on measurement at 4 different stairwells, at 900MHz and 1800 MHz which are near public safety communication bands. The model incorporates the effect of different floor heights and unique path loss-to-distance relation on selected stair flights observed during measurement campaign. The proposed model demonstrates higher accuracy than 3 standard path loss models at 2 other stairwell
