On a nonlinear heat equation associated with Dirichlet -- Robin conditions

This paper is devoted to the study of a nonlinear heat equation associated with Dirichlet-Robin conditions. At first, we use the Faedo -- Galerkin and the compactness method to prove existence and uniqueness results. Next, we consider the properties of solutions. We obtain that if the initial condition is bounded then so is the solution and we also get asymptotic behavior of solutions as. Finally, we give numerical resultsComment: 20 page

Growth Strategy with social Capital and Physical Capital- Theory and Evidence: the Case of Vietnam

URL des Documents de travail : http://ces.univ-paris1.fr/cesdp/cesdp2014.htmlDocuments de travail du Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne 2014.45 - ISSN : 1955-611XWe study the impact of social capital in both simple theoretical and empirical model with the main assumption is the price of physical capital is a decreasing function of social capital. In our theoretical model, there exists a critical value such that firm will not invest in social capital if its saving is lower than the critical value and otherwise. Moreover, the output depends positively and non-linearly on the social capital. Our empirical model that captures the impact of physical capital, human capital, and social capital using the database from Survey of Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam 2011, confirms the conclusions of the theoretical model.Dans ce papier, nous étudions l'impact du capital social dans un modèle simple à la fois théorique et empirique. L'hypothèse cruciale est que le coût du capital physique, grâce aux contacts sociaux diminue par rapport aux dépenses en capital social. Dans le modèle théorique, nous montrons qu'il existe un seuil critique de l'épargne destinée aux dépenses en capital social. Les firmes dont l'épargne est inférieur à ce seuil ne vont pas investir en capital social. Nous montrons de plus que les productions dépendent positivement des dépenses en capital social. Les résultats du modèle empirique, en utilisant les données de Survey of Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing Enterprises du Vietnam de l'année 2011, confirment les résultats du modèle théorique

A Study of Automatic Pineapple Leaf Fibre Extraction Machine Using Bidirectional Rolling Mechanism

Pineapple leaf fibres are well known around the world due to the good material properties when woven together and environment friendly. Nevertheless, it takes a lot of effort and time to extract the fibres from the pineapple leaves. Consequently, various machines have been constructed around the world to automate this process, which has helped save time and increased the output productivity remarkably. This paper proposed a novel design of the automatic pineapple leaf fibre extraction machine using bidirectional rolling mechanism. The proposed mechanism will improve the efficiency of the pineapple leaf fibre extraction process that simultaneously enhances the quality of the output fibres. 

QuEChERS and C18 as solid phase extraction sorbent - ultra-high performance liquid chromatography -ultraviolet-visible method for determination of parabens in cosmetics products

Concerns are growing about human exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), especially during the preadolescent development stage. Parabens are prevalent EDCs widely used as additives in cosmetics. So, the determination of parabens in such products is important. In this study, we developed a reliable and sensitive method to determine simultaneously nine common parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, phenylparaben, benzylparaben, penthylparaben, and two groups of isomeric compounds include propylparaben, isopropyl paraben, and butylparaben, isobutylparaben) in cosmetics products. The QuEChERS and solid-phase extraction techniques are used for extraction parabens from non-surfactant cosmetics (perfume, mouth wash solution) and surfactant cosmetics (shampoo, cream, gel), respectively and quantified by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with the ultraviolet-visible detector. All nine compounds showed good linearity with regression coefficients predominantly above 0.990. The LOD and LOQ of parabens were 0.07 µg/mL; 0.2 µg/mL, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 80 to 110% with the relative standard deviations below 8%. The developed method was successfully applied to determine parabens in various commercial cosmetic products from a local supermarket and the total parabens concentrations are in a wide-ranged from 2.0 to 1270 mg/kg

Rural Poverty and Inequality Maps in Vietnam: Estimation using Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey 2006 and Rural Agriculture and Fishery Census 2006

The objective of this paper is to estimate poverty and inequality for rural Vietnam at different levels of aggregation by combining the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) from 2006 and the Rural Agriculture and Fishery Census from the same year. Using the small area estimation method, we will produce estimates at the region, province at district level, and will consider both expenditure and income based measures. It is found that all provinces across the country have experienced a noticeable reduction in rural poverty during the period 1999-2006. Some of the largest reductions in poverty are observed for provinces with poverty rates close to the national average. Also the poorest provinces are experiencing reductions in poverty, albeit at a more modest pace. Provinces and districts with a larger poverty reduction in the period 1999-2006 tend to have a lower level of inequality in 2006. Results based on expenditure poverty estimates are found to be very similar to those based on income poverty estimates.Poverty measurement, poverty mapping, agricultural census, household survey, Vietnam
