An Impact Analysis of the Forest Occupancy Management Project: Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan
This article is a product of a nine-month training and application program implemented by the micro component of the Economic and Social Impact Analysis/Women in Development (ESIA/WID) and the Food Systems Program of the East-West Center Resource Systems Institute (RSI). It focuses on two primary areas of concern: the cooperator’s income structure before and after joining the program and the actual resource conservation/depletion as a direct offshoot of the program. It also includes analysis of indirect impacts of the Bureau of Forest Development in the area.forestry sector, impact analysis

CAMMD: Context Aware Mobile Medical Devices
Telemedicine applications on a medical practitioners mobile device should be context-aware. This can vastly improve the effectiveness of mobile applications and is a step towards realising the vision of a ubiquitous telemedicine environment. The nomadic nature of a medical practitioner emphasises location, activity and time as key context-aware elements. An intelligent middleware is needed to effectively interpret and exploit these contextual elements. This paper proposes an agent-based architectural solution called Context-Aware Mobile Medical Devices (CAMMD). This framework can proactively communicate patient records to a portable device based upon the active context of its medical practitioner. An expert system is utilised to cross-reference the context-aware data of location and time against a practitioners work schedule. This proactive distribution of medical data enhances the usability and portability of mobile medical devices. The proposed methodology alleviates constraints on memory storage and enhances user interaction with the handheld device. The framework also improves utilisation of network bandwidth resources. An experimental prototype is presented highlighting the potential of this approach

TinkerCell: Modular CAD Tool for Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology brings together concepts and techniques from engineering
and biology. In this field, computer-aided design (CAD) is necessary in order
to bridge the gap between computational modeling and biological data. An
application named TinkerCell has been created in order to serve as a CAD tool
for synthetic biology. TinkerCell is a visual modeling tool that supports a
hierarchy of biological parts. Each part in this hierarchy consists of a set of
attributes that define the part, such as sequence or rate constants. Models
that are constructed using these parts can be analyzed using various C and
Python programs that are hosted by TinkerCell via an extensive C and Python
API. TinkerCell supports the notion of a module, which are networks with
interfaces. Such modules can be connected to each other, forming larger modular
networks. Because TinkerCell associates parameters and equations in a model
with their respective part, parts can be loaded from databases along with their
parameters and rate equations. The modular network design can be used to
exchange modules as well as test the concept of modularity in biological
systems. The flexible modeling framework along with the C and Python API allows
TinkerCell to serve as a host to numerous third-party algorithms. TinkerCell is
a free and open-source project under the Berkeley Software Distribution
license. Downloads, documentation, and tutorials are available at

The Ultrarelativistic Kerr-Geometry and its Energy-Momentum Tensor
The ultrarelativistic limit of the Schwarzschild and the Kerr-geometry
together with their respective energy-momentum tensors is derived. The approach
is based on tensor-distributions making use of the underlying Kerr-Schild
structure, which remains stable under the ultrarelativistic boost.Comment: 16 pages, (AMS-LaTeX), TUW-94-0
