Free Ebook Defect chemistry and proton conductivity in Ba-based perovskites

Submitted by antoq on Fri, 11/21/2008 - 02:06

The site incorporation mechanism of M3+ dopants into A2+B4+O3 perovskites controls the overall defect chemistry and thus their transport properties. For charge balance reasons, incorporation onto the A2+ site would require the creation of negatively charged point defects, such as cation vacancies, whereas incorporation onto the B4+ site is accompanied by the generation of positively charged defects, typically oxygen vacancies. Oxygen vacancy content, in turn, is relevant to proton conducting oxides in which protons are introduced via the dissolution of hydroxyl ions at vacant oxygen sites.

PDF Ebook Designing and marketing a global business travel course

Submitted by antoq on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 02:01

This paper's objectives are to present and identify successful strategies for planning, designing and implementing a global business travel trip with a pre- and post-academic class schedule. The courses’ destination changes annually. The information gathered and presented is from four regional business trips. The discussion will center on strategies in building a successful travel program at a small university, course content, business visit selection, recruiting, and selecting a flexible mix of students and alumni. Travel programs require additional resources in terms of commitment, funding, and assistance from various departments. The key to a successful Global Business Course with a travel trip component is commitment by the faculty team leader and enthusiasm.

Many universities are offering study abroad programs which center on spending a full semester at an international university. This is a wonderful opportunity and requires the university to be actively involved in an alliance relationship outside the US. For many smaller universities, this is not a realistic scenario in terms of exchange students, economies of scale and possible accreditation issues. Allan E. Goodman, President and CEO of the Institute of International Education, noted that the experiences afforded through study abroad provide American students with the skills needed to live in today’s world. Dr. Goodman in an article published in Open Doors (2008) states the following “International experience needs to be a component of every student’s education, equipping them for 21st century careers and for global citizenship.”

PDF Ebook A Simple Poverty Scorecard for Bangladesh

Submitted by antoq on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 08:31

This paper presents an easy-to-use poverty scorecard that pro-poor programs in Bangladesh can use to estimate the likelihood that a household has expenditure below a given poverty line, to monitor groups’ poverty rates at a point in time, to track changes in groups’ poverty rates between two points in time, and to target services to households.

The direct approach to poverty measurement via surveys is difficult and costly, asking households about a lengthy list of expenditure categories such as “What was the value of firewood consumed that was bought in cash/credit or wages in-kind? What was the value of firewood consumed that was produced by the household or received? What was the sum of them? . . .”)
