Toward Understanding Philippine Trade in Services: A Demand Approach

This article investigates the determinants of Philippine trade in commercial services, and makes an attempt to explain the historical trends and movements in aggregated services exports and imports in relation to variables such as income, relative price, merchandise trade, services sector size and investor sentiment.services sector, income, trade in services

Bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana, abundance in Van Damme Bay, Mendocino County, California

Size and density data were collected for Nereocystis luetkeana sporophytes from kelp beds in Van Damme Bay, Mendocino County during May, June and July 1990. Length and weight measurements were made on individual plants from representative size groups collected from depths of 6.1 m and 12.2 m. Mean sporophyte weight was 268 g (SD 393 g), while mean stipe length was 214 cm (SD 275 cm). Densities were determined separately for those plants which had reached the surface and for all plants within the water column. Sixty-five 12.7 m2 surface quadrats yielded mean surface densities of 2.2 (SD 1.5) and 2.7 plants/m2 (SD 1.3) in June and July, respectively. Individual plants were counted within 42 1x5 m plots along benthic transect lines yielding average densities of 2.7 (SD 4.5) and 5.2 plants/m2 (SD 3.0) in May and July, respectively. Combined density and size data from July 1990 and kelp bed area estimates from fall 1988 for Van Damme Bay yielded a biomass estimate of 640 metric tons distributed over 45.7 hectares. (15pp.

Multiple axis reticle

A reticle permits the alignment of three orthogonal axes (X, Y and Z) that intersect at a common target point. Thin, straight filaments are supported on a frame. The filaments are each contained in a different orthogonal plane (S sub xy, S sub xz, and S sub yz) and each filament intersects two of the three orthogonal axes. The filaments, as viewed along the frame axis, give the appearance of a triangle with a V extending from each triangle vertex. When axial alignment is achieved, the filament portions adjacent to a triangle vertex are seen (along the axis of interest) as a right-angle cross, whereas these filament portions are seen to intersect at an oblique angle when axial misalignment occurs. The reticle is open in the region near the target point leaving ample space for alignment aids such as a pentaprism or a cube mirror

CONSTITUTIONAL DAMAGES: A CALL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FRAMEWORK IN SOUTH AFRICA

This paper explores whether the positive duties placed on the state by the Constitution of South Africa,1 particularly the South African Police Service (hereinafter „SAPS‟), are adequately represented by the doctrine of vicarious liability. The doctrine was developed in a private law setting and since the inception of the Constitution it has been stretched to vindicate the Bill of Rights. This stretching has resulted in a number of tears in the law‟s fabric and the best solution which comes to mind is to patch the tears with the doctrine of constitutional damages

Figuring out this thing called femininity: Young women speak

From wicked stepmother to feminist theorist, from fairy tale to dominant discourse, the question of ?the feminine? continues to inspire, perplex and arouse debate. For centuries, storytellers, philosophers, scientific investigators even economists have sought to ponder, theorize and diagnose the ?true nature? of the feminine; the essence of ?woman?. The following article reveals the findings of a feminist interpretive research inquiry undertaken with six, fifteen year old young women and their perceptions, experiences and expressions of femininity. Beginning with my own story of feminine adolescence, through the exploration of the young women?s stories of femininity, a kaleidoscope of meaning and representation is revealed. With a particular focus on the discourse of difference and its intersection with and perpetuation through the family, the media, peer groups, fashion and beauty, the young women?s experiences alert the reader to the many ways young women negotiate, construct and resist a feminine subjectivity
