Trade Policy Options for ASEAN Countries and Their Regional Dialogue Partners: “Preference Ordering” Using CGE Analysis by Chia, Wai-Mun, Ji, Xianbai, Rana, Pradumna B., Li, Chang Tai

“…The withdrawal of the United States (US) from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trump’s “America First” agenda have ignited a second round of interest in mega-free trade agreements (mega-FTAs) in the Asia Pacific region. Countries have been motivated to explore alternative trade policy options. …”

Hybrid Federalization in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal by Allison-Reumann, Laura, He, Baogang

“…The five previous constitutions of Nepal failed and did not manage to avoid discrimination or overcome the domination of the majority ethnic group (Lawoti, 2007), and agreements with and principles for different members of society have not always been adhered to or delivered (Hachhethu, 2009). For more than 60 years Nepal has struggled to find appropriate solutions to problems of development, democracy, peace and equality (Von Einsiedel, Malone and Pradhan, 2012) and its new constitution has proffered a new direction for Nepal, albeit with continued contestation and disagreement.…”

Inverse aerodynamic optimization considering impacts of design tip speed ratio for variable-speed wind turbines by Yang, Zhiqiang, Yin, Minghui, Xu, Yan, Zou, Yun, Zhou, Qian, Dong, Zhao Yang

“…Because of the slow dynamic behavior of the large-inertia wind turbine rotor, variable-speed wind turbines (VSWTs) are actually unable to keep operating at the design tip speed ratio (TSR) during the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) process. Moreover, it has been pointed out that although a larger design TSR can increase the maximum power coefficient, it also greatly prolongs the MPPT process of VSWTs. …”

Exaggerated expectations in ancient starch research and the need for new taphonomic and authenticity criteria by Mercader, Julio, Akeju, Tolutope, Brown, Melisa, Bundala, Mariam, Collins, Matthew J., Copeland, Les, Crowther, Alison, Dunfield, Peter, Henry, Amanda, Inwood, Jamie, Itambu, Makarius, Kim, Joong-Jae, Larter, Steve, Longo, Laura, Oldenburg, Thomas, Patalano, Robert, Sammynaiken, Ramaswami, Soto, María, Tyler, Robert, Xhauflair, Hermine

“…However, lapses in prevailing starch research demonstrate the exaggerated expectations for the field that have been generated over the last few decades. This includes an absence of explanation for the millennial-scale survivability of a biochemically degradable polymer, and difficulties in establishing authenticity and taxonomic identification. …”
