A decade after the 1971 wars in South Asia, the principal decisionmakers were still uncertain why wars so clearly unwanted had occurred. The authors reconstruct the complex decisionmaking process attending the break-up of Pakistan and the subsequent war between India and Pakistan. Much of their data...

Traditional statistical crash prediction models oftentimes suffer from poor data quality and require large amount of historical data. In this paper, we propose a crash prediction method based on a bivariate extreme value theory (EVT) framework, considering both drivers' perception-reaction failure a...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is one of the most important tools to elucidate the charge transfer and transport processes in various electrochemical systems including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Even though there are many books and reports on EIS, it is often very difficult to...

This paper is devoted to studying the trajectory and state controllability of Boolean control networks (BCNs) with time delay. In contrast to BCNs without time delay, the dynamics of delayed BCNs are determined by a sequence of initial states, named here trajectories. Trajectory controllability mean...

Poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxyhydroxides, ubiquitously distributed as mineral coatings and discrete particles in aquifer sediments, are well-known hosts of sedimentary As. Microbial reduction of these phases is widely thought to be responsible for the genesis of As-rich reducing groundwaters found i...

BACKGROUND: Antenatal care (ANC) is critical for improving maternal and newborn health. WHO recommends that pregnant women complete at least four ANC visits. Countdown and other global monitoring efforts track the proportions of women who receive one or more visits by a skilled provider (ANC1+) and ...

This note focuses on the ‘downside’ of microfinance: on the way in which some microfinance activities can damage the prospects of poor people. It is not a polemic that argues that microfinance has failed—there is much evidence, not least from my work with colleagues, that it can help many poor peopl...

We present seven new transiting hot Jupiters from the WASP-South survey. The planets are all typical hot Jupiters orbiting stars from F4 to K0 with magnitudes of V = 10.3-12.5. The orbital periods are all in the range of 3.9-4.6 d, the planetary masses range from 0.4 to 2.3 M Jup and the radii from ...

Background Bangladesh is one of the only nine Countdown countries that are on track to achieve the primary target of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 by 2015. It is also the only low-income or middle-income country with two large, nationally-representative, high-quality household surveys focused ...
