  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Challenges, Opportunities, and Effective Solutions for the Enhancement of Sustainable Fisheries Development Planning Capacity in Vietnam Author: Hoang Van, Cuong Planning is an important kind of policies making. Meanwhile it is considered as activities which specify general development strategies of a nation, sector or even a specific field; it also is the basis for developing and implementing development projects (Huong, 2005). Therefore, it is essential to recognize the challenges, opportunities and solutions in enhancing the planning capacity. Vietnamese Fisheries managers and other stakeholders have been facing a number of challenges. Being an efficient fishery planner requires a broad-spectrum knowledge and skills which have been changing and updating quickly in the modern dynamic world. The second issue is why and how to corporate in planning process. Other challenge is how to solve various conflicts (related to economics, social and environment value). Financial and other regulations are also major issues impacting on the quality of planning. Opportunities of innovations for planners, however, have been being more available and they need to be recognized and applied effectively. These opportunities occur since there has been development in Economy, Education, Technology, and the chances of joining the global market. To enhance the capacity of fisheries planning, a package of effective solutions should be considered. They mainly are of upgrading the regulation and awareness (related to supply of data, updating knowledge, evaluation and monitoring of planning process&); considering in more suitable way to organize, to develop and implement planning process. (Combination of top-down as well as bottom-top approach planning, corporation&); identify goals and strategies to educate or train planners at different levels.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An empirical study of the possible relationship between adult perception of parents and expressed self-concept Author: Singer, Daniel Jay. This study examined the possible relationship that perception of parents has in determining the self-concept of the adult offspring. The literature search revealed that there has been a lack of studies regarding the adult offspring's perception of parents. Furthermore, until this study, no instrument that measures the adult offspring's perception of parents could be found. Three areas were studied: 1) the self-esteem of the adult offspring as measured by a standardized test, 2) the capacity to formulate intimate contact with others as measured by a standardized test, and 3) the perception of those same individuals with regard to their parents, measured by a 14-item questionnaire and a 12-item semantic differential. A review of the literature provided relevant information that suggested the relationship that perception of parents has on the development of the child offspring's self-esteem and capacity for intimate contact. A description of the changes that occur with the adult offspring's perception of parents was also discussed in this study. An examination of the research indicated that the adult offspring's behavior is a combination of his parent's teachings and his own personal strivings. The reluctance of subjects to present parents in a socially unacceptable manner was a limitation of the study. Further research indicated that the perception of parents instrument can be used as a tool in exploring issues regarding parents. Forty-four young subjects selected from a university population and twenty-one older subjects selected from a nursing home provided the data for the two instruments that were utilized for this research. Pearson's product-moment r, multiple t-tests, and multiple analysis of variances were the statistical procedures selected for treating the data. All data supported the hypotheses that: 1) no significant difference in self-perception appears to separate subjects who express positive or negative evaluations of their parents, and 2) no significant difference in the capacity to formulate intimate contact with others appears to separate subjects who express positive or negative evaluations of their parents. After the conclusions of this study were presented, recommendations for further research were discussed regarding adult perception of parents and self-concept.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Design and testing of fabric composite heat pipes for space nuclear power applications Author: Kiestler, William C. Conventional stainless steel - water and ceramic fabric composite water heat pipes have been built and tested. The tests have been conducted to compare the performance characteristics between conventional and fabric composite heat pipe radiators for space nuclear power heat rejection systems. The fabric composite concept combines a strong ceramic fabric with a thin metal liner to form a very lightweight heat pipe. The heat pipes tested have used identical, homogeneous fabric wicks and water as the working fluid. One fabric composite heat pipe has been constructed by fitting a braided aluminoborosilicate fabric tube over the outside of the conventional stainless steel heat pipe. A more advanced fabric composite design combines the woven fabric with a 0.25 mm (10 mil) stainless steel tube as the liner, and reduces the mass of the heat pipe by a factor of three. A heat pipe testing facility was designed and built for the purpose of testing various conventional and fabric composite heat pipes. This facility allows the testing of heat pipes in a vacuum, at low temperatures, and can accommodate a variety of heat pipe designs. Instrumentation and computer interfacing provide for continuous monitoring and evaluation of heat pipe performance. Tests show that heat pipe radiator capacity can be significantly enhanced by using the fabric composite design. Tests comparing a conventional heat pipe with fabric composite heat pipes achieved a 100% increase in the emissivity and heat rejection capacity of the radiator. Since the ceramic fabric is strong enough to withstand the internal pressure of the heat pipe, a very thin metal foil can be used to contain the working fluid. The increase in heat rejection capacity, combined with the significant reduction in the heat pipe mass, translates into a substantial savings for space power systems employing fabric composite heat pipe radiators.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A token caching waiting-matching unit for tagged-token dataflow computers Author: Traylor, Roger L. Computers using the tagged-token dataflow model are among the best candidates for delivering extremely high levels of performance required in the future. Instruction scheduling in these computers is determined by associatively matching data-bearing tokens in a Waiting-Matching Unit (W-M unit). At the W-M unit, incoming tokens with matching contexts are forwarded to an instruction while non-matching tokens are stored to await their matching partner. Requirements of the W-M unit are exacting. Necessary token storage capacity at each processing element (PE) is presently estimated to be 100,000 tokens. Since the most often executed arithmetic instructions require two operands, the bandwidth of the W-M unit must be approximately twice that of the ALU. The contradictory requirements of high storage capacity and high memory bandwidth have compromised the M-W units of previous dataflow computers limiting their speed. However, tokens arriving at a PE exhibit strong temporal locality. This naturally suggests the use of some caching technique. Using a recently developed CAM memory structure as a base, a token caching scheme is described which allows rapid, fully associative token matching while allowing a large token storage capacity. The key to the caching scheme is a fast and compact, articulated, first-in, first-out, content addressable memory (AFCAM) which allows associative matching and garbage collection while maintaining temporal ordering. A new memory cell is developed as the basis for the AFCAM in an advanced CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. The design of the cell is discussed as well as electrical simulation results, verifying its operation and performance. Finally, estimated system performance of a dataflow computer using the caching scheme is presented.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Thermodynamics of the Pd₄₃Ni₁₀Cu₂₇P₂₀ metallic glass-forming alloy Author: Kuno, Masahiro By the investigation of the bulk metallic glass-forming liquids that have very low critical cooling rates, the thermodynamics of metallic glasses can be clarified. For studying thermodynamic properties, such as the specific heat capacity, calorimetry (DSC) is utilized and one of the most used instruments is the differential scanning calorimeter. In this study calorimetry was used to investigate the thermodynamics of the Pd₄₃Ni₁₀Cu₂₇P₂₀ alloy. The specific heat capacity of the liquid and crystalline state, enthalpy, entropy, as well as Gibbs free energy difference between the liquid and crystalline state were measured and evaluated in comparison with previous studies of the alloy. The Pd₄₃Ni₁₀Cu₂₇P₂₀ alloy is known as a metallic glass-forming alloy that has high ability for vitrification without crystallization. By observing the onset of heat flux of the exothermic reactions in the DSC, the time-temperature-transformation diagram can be constructed, and the diagram confirms the high ability for the vitrification for the sample. In addition, the effect of fluxing by B₂O₃ to reduce heterogeneous nucleation is determined by the TTT-diagram. The enthalpy change during the crystallization was directly measured in experiments in which the sample was held isothermally in the DSC. Both enthalpies, calculated from the specific heat capacity measurements and direct measured enthalpy exactly match each other. The very interesting effect in these experiments is an effect of heat treatment in the samples. Two glass transition temperatures can be noticeably recognized by scanning the exothermic event of the sample with the DSC. The material separates into two undercooled liquids. The two phases that are separated during heat treatment can be described by two different fragility parameters.
