The Philippines: External Shocks, Adjustment Policies and Impact on Selected Development Concerns, 1973-1985
With the objective of designing and implementing more effective policies and programs in the light of external shocks, this paper assesses the impact of economic crisis and adjustment policies on basic economic and social concerns particularly on vulnerable income groups. The development path implied in this article is a strategy that is expansionary within the limits set by external finance and other policy considerations.vulnerable groups, adjustment policies
Marina La Malinche: Writing Across Cultures
Tulisan ini membahas karya pengarang perempuan Prancis, Kim Lefévre. Lefévredilahirkan di Vietnam dari ayah Prancis dan ibu Vietnam—ia sendiri kini tinggal di Prancis.Karya-karya autobiografinya berkenaan dengan kompleksitas identitas campurannya. Dalamkarya novelnya Marina la Malinche, ia menyajikan kehidupan seorang wanita penerjemah,Malinche, selama invasi Spanyol di Meksiko. Malinche saat ini dianggap oleh orang Meksikosebagai pengkhianat bangsa. Dalam novel itu Lefévre menggunakan tokoh Malinche sebagaicermin problem identitasnya.

SRAD Director\u27s Corner: Understanding North Korea and the Key to Security in East Asia
In the third installment of the SRAD Director’s Corner, Colonel George Shatzer focuses on North Korea and the Kim family regime. He reviews Becoming Kim Jong Un: A Former CIA Officer’s Insights into North Korea’s Enigmatic Young Dictator by Jung H. Pak and Rationality in the North Korean Regime: Understanding the Kims’ Strategy of Provocation by David W. Shin and shows how these books might help readers better understand North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un and the implications of his actions for US foreign and military policy in the region. The books also provide insights for strategists attempting to plan for security in East Asia
Comment on ``Large Slip of Aqueous Liquid Flow over a Nanoengineered Superhydrophobic Surface'' by C-H Choi and C Kim
In a recent Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. vol 96, 066001 (2006), ref [1]), Choi
and Kim reported slip lengths of a few tens of microns for water on
nanoengineered superhydrophobic surfaces, on the basis of rheometry
(cone-and-plate) measurements. We show that the experimental uncertainty in the
experiment of Ref. [1], expressed in term of slip lengths, lies in the range 20
- 100 micrometers, which is precisely the order of magnitude of the reported
slip lengths. Moreover we point out a systematic bias expected on the
superhydrophobic surfaces. We thus infer that it is not possible to draw out
any conclusion concerning the existence of huge slip lengths in the system
studied by Choi and Kim.Comment: to appear in Physical Review Letter

Operator-Valued Norms
We introduce two kinds of operator-valued norms. One of them is an
-valued norm. The other one is an -valued norm. We characterize
the completeness with respect to a bounded -valued norm. Furthermore, for
a given Banach space , we provide an -valued norm on
. and we introduce an -valued norm on a Banach space
satisfying special properties.Comment: 8 page
