Replacement of Artemia with Moina micrura in the rearing of freshwater shrimp larvae by Alam, M. J., Ang, K. J., Begum, M.

“…The mean (SD) yields of postlarvae (PL) were 11.97 (1.98), 15.10 (2.92), 14.72(1.56), 13.51 (1.74) and 12.70 (1.40) PL l-1 respectively for the feeding regimes A3M, A5M, A7M, A9M and A. Up to stage v, the ingestion rate in the Moina treatment was as low as 0.01-0.47 larva-1 h-1 compared with that in the Artemia treatment (0.29-1.77 larva-1 h-1). …”

Multilateral security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region : prospects and possibilities by Ball, Desmond

“…This paper seeks to (i) describe the achievements with respect to the institutionalisation of multilateralism in the Asia-Pacific since 1992; (ii) provide a critical assessment of this progress; (iii) consider some of the principal problems affecting the process; (iv) provide some net assessment of the achievements to date and what this suggests for the future; and (v) outline and agenda for action. It acknowledges the extraordinary progress of the institutionalisation of multilateral security cooperation between 1992-97 but also sees this process and institutionalising a region-wide confidence-building process were fundamentally important achievements of the first five-year period, but they were relatively easy undertakings when compared to mroe substantive activites such as preventive diplomacy, conflict resolution or arms control.…”

Construction and classification of group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices by Wong, Dai Quan

“…The main areas of study we have identified are: • The existence and the construction of group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices • The non-existence and the necessary conditions for their existence • The classification of group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices Our contribution to this study is the outline of five types of constructions of group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices, a new necessary condition for existence under the self-conjugacy assumption and the classification of Butson Hadamard matrices which are invariant under the groups ℤₚ × ℤₚ and ℤₚ₂ × ℤₚ × ℤₚ.…”

Indonesia’s mass killings of 1965–1966 : retrospective and requiem by Faizah Zakaria

“…Since the kidnapping and murder of six generals in the early morning hours of October 1, 1965, during an abortive coup attempt that the Indonesian Army alleged was masterminded by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) – an event which served as a pretext for the mass violence that swiftly followed – academics and observers, within and outside Indonesia, have sought to uncover and explain its murky history in studies that now span five decades.…”
