Three Reductions, Three Gains (3R3G) Technology in South Vietnam: Searching for Evidence of Economic Impact

The aim of the “Three Reductions, Three Gains” (3R3G) project is to reduce production costs, improve farmers’ health, and protect the environment in irrigated rice production in Vietnam through the reduced use of seeds, nitrogen fertilizer, and pesticides. It was developed by the International Rice Research Institute and introduced to farmers in South Vietnam by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in early 2000 through traditional extension work and mass media. Farm survey data provide evidence of adoption of 3R3G primarily in terms of lowering seed rates. The resultant changes in the farm production/cost structure and farmer profits are measured.information-intensive technology, technology transfer, farm-level impacts, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management, Productivity Analysis,

Kinetics of Intramolecular Chemical Exchange by Initial Growth Rates of Spin Saturation Transfer Difference Experiments (SSTD NMR)

We report here the Initial Growth Rates SSTD NMR method, as a new powerful tool to obtain the kinetic parameters of intramolecular chemical exchange in challenging small organic and organometallic molecules

The Translation of Hispanic American Female Poetry in China : Who and What Has Been Translated?

Since the Reform and Opening Up in 1978, Spanish American literature has been introduced on a large scale to China. Among translated literary works, feminine poetry occupies a very important position. Based on the study of translated anthologies that include compositions authored by women published in China from 1985 to the first decade of the 21st century, this article focuses on two elements related to these anthologies: which are the selected and translated poems and who are their authors. Four questions are analyzed: the poetesses that appear the most often in the anthologies, the poetesses with the most selected poems, the diachronic distribution of the poetesses and their geographical distribution. The objective of this study is to synthesize the criteria followed by the translators in the compilation of the anthologies and thus deduce the main interests in China in the field of Spanish-American feminine poetry.Peer reviewe
