The feasibility of the Hungarian convergence programme
The paper provides on overview of the Hungarian Convergence Programme (CP) that envisages the path to restore macroeconomic equilibrium during the next three years. The spiralling budget deficit in 2006 made an update of the previous CP inevitable. In the September 2006 version the government shows strong commitment to face up to the fiscal imbalances and structural problems, yet several aspects question the feasibility of the Programme. The paper focuses on the evaluation of the major objectives and their realisation during the first year of the CP as well as on significant technical assumptions and external factors that may constitute a downside risk for the implementation. Besides introducing a corrective fiscal package the Convergence Program draws the outlines of several, long-awaited reforms of almost the entire sphere of the social welfare systems. As the primary focus is on the feasibility of the budgetary consolidation strategy, the paper deals with these reforms only in the context of the long-term sustainability of public finances.Hungarian economy, convergence programme, fiscal package, structural reform
Impacts for m-Internet applications and perspectives in agriculture
Mobile communication and the mobile Internet can provide important opportunities,
economic advantages for enterprises end organisations and support their more efficient
operating as they can use it anytime and anywhere.
We can make their wide spread usage, innovation effect and advantages economical way if
we consider the effect system of technologies and services. The technological, social and
economical complex effect system puts pressure on spreading of business applications. The
types of applicable equipment are increasing.
There can be found four player groups according to social aspects: manufacturers, enterprises,
customers and workers. The Internet technology and the Internet network have become
essential communication tools in business processes recently. Using the Internet by means of
mobile appliances increases the possibilities.
If we study the business process the expenses, advantages, disadvantages can be seen well.
Nowadays these applications are more and more successful in the following areas such as in
agriculture, in different parts of food industry, in extension services, precision agriculture,
logistics
Mobile Internet in Agriculture (Hajdú-Bihar) Survery
For the purpose of analyzing mobile Internet user expectations we have gone through a
series of structured interviews. There are two parts of this analysis: we have talked with experts and
farmers. In this paper we present the results of the survey conducted in July and August 2006, based
on interviews with the experts. Experts are more or less aware of the technology (and related services)
but neither at the workplace, nor at home do they use it. Some progress can be seen, but it is slow and
in many areas (for example having an own website, keeping touch through Internet) there is much to
learn and advance
Mobile Internet Applications, Infrastructure and Services
Mobile communication and the mobile Internet can provide important opportunities,
economic advantages for enterprises end organisations and support their more efficient
operating as they can be used anytime and anywhere. We can make their wide spread
use, innovative effects and advantages economical if we consider the effect system of
technologies and services. The technological, social and economical complex effect
system puts a pressure on the spreading of business applications. The types of
applicable equipment are increasing. The Internet technology and the Internet network
have become essential communication tools in business processes recently. Using the
Internet by means of mobile appliances increases the possibilities. By studying the
business process the expenses, advantages, disadvantages can well be seen. Nowadays
these applications are more and more successful in areas such as agriculture, different
parts of the food industry, extension services, precision agriculture and logistics. It can
be stated that the international and the Hungarian development tendencies of the mobile
Internet, the RTD Programmes of EU help the wide-spread use of mobile services. The
rapid development of the Hungarian domestic mobile market over the last years is the
basis for the wide spread use of new broadband mobile services and applications. This
system can contribute to the development of agriculture, enterprises and rural areas and
can support production, commerce, services and product tracing. But for successful
applications we have to consider the impact factors
Impact factors for mobile internet applications in the agri-food sectors

Spectral Characteristic Evolution: A New Algorithm for Gravitational Wave Propagation
We present a spectral algorithm for solving the full nonlinear vacuum
Einstein field equations in the Bondi framework. Developed within the Spectral
Einstein Code (SpEC), we demonstrate spectral characteristic evolution as a
technical precursor to Cauchy Characteristic Extraction (CCE), a rigorous
method for obtaining gauge-invariant gravitational waveforms from existing and
future astrophysical simulations. We demonstrate the new algorithm's stability,
convergence, and agreement with existing evolution methods. We explain how an
innovative spectral approach enables a two orders of magnitude improvement in
computational efficiency.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figure
Video in e-learning systems
The world is changing rapidly in the field of multimedia and it is inevitable to prepare to
use and utilize the new teaching method. This is specifically true in the case of the use of educational
films both as video and also using such video on the Internet. Our first task is to decide whether the
development of material will be an independent film or a part of an e-learning course. In both cases
the method of construction is different. The next step is to select the target group of the film. There is a
wide scale of possible viewers or participants (who must have a certain level of basic knowledge) and
also handicapped people should be able to use the results. The final product ought to be acceptable for
e-learning and distance-learning as well. Using the information technology in education is general and
the present being of the e-learnig is part of this fact. We can use e-learning effectively only if the
system is filled up with electronic educational material. The most effective ones are the multimediamaterials.
The effectiveness of the multimedia-material can be improved with the application of video
