1.0 INTRODUCTION One of the most distinguishing characteristics of people is their tendency to migrate. The distance of these movements as well as their frequency, are distinctive characteristics. The mobility of humans is evidenced by the linguistic, social and nationalistic mixing of much of the world’s population, although, the mobility has always been a basic trait of human population. It has accelerated with economic technological process, particularly in the fields of communication and transportation. Cultural adaptability has allowed human to adjust to major ecological changes by employing mental abilities and technological skills.

Pro-Poor Nanotechnology Applications For Water: Characterizing And Contextualizing Private Sector Research And Development, Matthew Harsh, Thomas Woodson
Thomas Woodson
Nanotechnology has been proposed as a possible solution to the dire problems caused by contaminated water in impoverished communities. We characterize the global landscape of nanotechnology research and development using bibliometric and patent data to ascertain how private firms are using nanotechnology to create improved filters and other technologies that might create benefits for the ‘poor’. Research and development on nanotechnology applications for water is very international, but is occurring mostly in China, the USA and wealthy countries. Nanowater patents focus mostly on filtration systems. Other research areas like nanosensors and desalination have fewer nanowater patens which suggest that those …
