The Tostan Story: Breakthrough In Senegal Ending Female Genital Cutting, Population Council Jan 1999

The Tostan Story: Breakthrough In Senegal Ending Female Genital Cutting, Population Council

Reproductive Health

In Senegal, elements of the Tostan education program were fundamental to the ending of the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) which has persisted for centuries, despite outside efforts to abolish such a dangerous and harmful operation. This paper is an attempt by those who lived through these events to share the experience with others. At a time when there has been little reduction in the numbers of women ending FGC in 28 African countries, when different programs and strategies have rarely succeeded in making an impact on the number of women still practicing FGC despite laws abolishing the tradition, …


The Effects On Labor Of Post-Industrial Globalization: A Comparison Of Marxist And Non-Marxist Paradigms, Louis Hyman Jan 1999

The Effects On Labor Of Post-Industrial Globalization: A Comparison Of Marxist And Non-Marxist Paradigms, Louis Hyman

University Avenue Undergraduate Journal of Economics

In this paper I will be examining the changes in labor conditions that have occurred during the last ten years, how they are intimately linked to new notions of information technology and the rise of a global economic perspective. I will compare the [Marxist and non-Marxist] trains of thought as well, and attempt to provide a notion of where I believe them to be sufficient and lacking. If these new notions of globalized post-industrial labor resolve the antagonism between Labor and Capital, they would signal a critical shift in the socioeconomic dynamics of the world, similar in importance to the …

Sub-Lethal Effects Of Hypoxia/Hypercapnia On Callinectes Sapidus In The York River Estuary, Virginia, Sandra R. Hypes Jan 1999

Sub-Lethal Effects Of Hypoxia/Hypercapnia On Callinectes Sapidus In The York River Estuary, Virginia, Sandra R. Hypes

Theses and Dissertations

This research examined effects of hypoxic environments on blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus in an estuarine environment. Hypoxic conditions were treated as a multiple stressor involving low dissolved oxygen (D.O.), increased carbon dioxide (hypercapnia), and low pH concurrently. The objectives were to: 1) identify hypoxiahypercapnia by monitoring D.O. and pH as an indicator of hypercapnia in shallow regions of the York River, 2) measure blue crab abundance, and 3) describe blue crab responses to hypoxiahypercapnia via field work at Taskinas Creek and lab measurements of respiration. Ambient D.O. and pH were positively correlated in the Taskinas Creek and York River sites …

International R&D Spillovers: An Application Of Estimation And Inference In Panel Cointegration, Chihwa Kao, Min-Hsien Chiang, Bangtian Chen Jan 1999

International R&D Spillovers: An Application Of Estimation And Inference In Panel Cointegration, Chihwa Kao, Min-Hsien Chiang, Bangtian Chen

Center for Policy Research

In this paper, we apply the asymptotic theory of panel cointegration developed by Kao and Chiang (1997) to Coe and Helpman's (1995) international R&D spillovers regression. The OLS with bias-correction, the fully-modified (FM) and the dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimations produce different predictions about the impact of foreign R&D on total factor productivity (TFP), although all the estimations support the result that domestic R&D is related to TFP.


On The Estimation Of A Linear Time Trend Regression With A One-Way Error Component Model In The Presence Of Serially Correlated Errors, Chihwa Kao, Jamie Emerson Jan 1999

On The Estimation Of A Linear Time Trend Regression With A One-Way Error Component Model In The Presence Of Serially Correlated Errors, Chihwa Kao, Jamie Emerson

Center for Policy Research

In this paper we study the limiting distributions for ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects (FE), first difference (FD), and generalized least squares (GLS) estimators in a linear time trend regression with a one-way error component model in the presence of serially correlated errors. We show that when the error term is I(0), the FE is asymptotically equivalent to the GLS. However, when the error term is I(1) the GLS could be less efficient than the FD or FE estimators, and the FD is the most efficient estimator. However, when the intercept is included in the model and the error …

Bridger Formation Sandstones Used As An Indication Of Tectonics In The Green River Basin And Western Wyoming, Lisa S. Novins Jan 1999

Bridger Formation Sandstones Used As An Indication Of Tectonics In The Green River Basin And Western Wyoming, Lisa S. Novins

Honors Papers

Sandstone from the Eocene Bridger Formation of southwestern Wyoming can be used as a tool to constrain the timing and order of controversial tectonic events in the region. The key tectonic element in this region is the Wind River Range. Sandstones in the Bridger were derived from two source areas to the north, one being the basement rocks from the Wind River Range and the other volcanic rocks from the Absaroka Volcanic field (AVF). The abundance of volcanic grains increases upsection in the Bridger indicating that more volcanic material was carried through the Wind River Range. This evidence supports the …


Olivine Petrofabric Analysis From The Leka Ophiolite Complex, Sarah J. Titus Jan 1999

Olivine Petrofabric Analysis From The Leka Ophiolite Complex, Sarah J. Titus

Honors Papers

Peridotites, gabbros and basaltic volcanic rocks on the island of Leka, Norway in the western Scandinavian Caledonides compose a nearly complete ophiolite sequence. I examined samples from the harzburgite to dunite transition within the ultramafic tectonites of the Leka Ophiolite Complex. This rock sequence probably corresponds to the petrologic Moho, which is the true base of the oceanic crust and lies below the seismic Moho. I used universal stage techniques to determine the crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) of olivine grains in both dunites from the base of the oceanic crust and residual harzburgites in the uppermost upper mantle. Olivine CPOs …

A Review Of The Pikes Peak Batholith, Front Range, Central Colorado: A "Type Example" Of A-Type Granitic Magmatism, Diane R. Smith, J. Noblett, R. A. Wobus, D. Unruh, K. R. Chamberlain Jan 1999

A Review Of The Pikes Peak Batholith, Front Range, Central Colorado: A "Type Example" Of A-Type Granitic Magmatism, Diane R. Smith, J. Noblett, R. A. Wobus, D. Unruh, K. R. Chamberlain

Earth and Environmental Geosciences Faculty Research

The N 1.08-Ga Pikes Peak composite batholith of central Colorado is a type example of an Atype granitic system. From the 1970s through the 1990s, details of the field relations, mineralogy, major and trace element compositions, and isotopic geochemistry of Pikes Peak rocks were documented, and they reveal the existence of two chemical groups, a potassic and a sodic series. The potassic series (~64-78 wt % SiO2) includes the Pikes Peak Granite, which is mostly coarse-grained biotite f hornblende syenogranite and minor monzogranite that dominates the batholith. The potassic series also includes fine- to medium-grained biotite granite found …
