菲律宾工业发展問題

美帝国主义者一向自詡它对其过去殖民地的經济发展事业立过巨大功績,他們断言,菲律宾在美国統治下,其国民經济似乎获得蓬勃发展。可是,这些成績都是虚假的。二十世紀,在菲律宾出現了許多工业企业,可是这絕沒有改变菲律宾經济的殖民地性质。第二次世界大战前夕,在菲律宾有二十到三十家現代工业企业,可是这些企业除了极少数以外,它們大都是那些加工用于出口的农业原料的工厂和生产某些食品以及生活必需品的工厂。美国和其他外国資本家甚至并没有作过在菲律宾建立重工业基础的尝試。在菲律宾群島建立重工业而且遭到許多由殖民制度人为所造成的、不可克服的障碍。     

The admission of Alzheimer's patients to hospital inpatient psychiatric units

Alzheimer's Disease presents extreme challenges not only to the individuals afflicted with it and their families, but also to both our legal and healthcare systems. The nature of the disease is such that current legal standards and requirements simply fail to function in an appropriate manner. So too, the health system currently is not in a position to handle the anticipated influx of Alzheimer's patients over the next several decades. This Article examines some of the challenges presented by this disease, and suggests several possible methods to improve our response to it.     

A one-step fluorescent detection method for lipid fingerprints; Eu(TTA)3.2TOPO

This paper describes the development of a one-step fluorescent lipid reagent that involves europium chelates whose generic formula can be represented as europium(organic ligand)3.2(synergic reagent). An optimized formulation is presented and a comparison with physical developer was conducted which showed the new technique to be very good when fresh fingerprints were recovered but inferior to physical developer on aged prints (over a week). In addition, the compatibility of the technique with sequential methods such as ninhydrin and DFO is reported. The experimentation, results and chemical formulation of this study were presented to delegates of the International Symposium on Fingerprint Detection and Identification held in Israel in June 1995. Prior to that a patent application had been made.     

The regional dimension of Mexican migration to the United States

"Although Mexican migration to the United States dates back over a century, reliable statistics documenting its geographical distribution have only recently become available. This new information, together with the creation of a Geographical Data System and the recent development of multilevel analysis, have allowed one to examine the regional context of Mexican migration to the U.S.... This paper draws on two new tools for context analysis and examines how they can be used to study international migration: first, the Geographical Data systems, which measure physical factors (aridity, isolation, land use, environmental degradation), together with socioeconomic statistics and familial organization and reproduction."
