Interregional water transport cluster as a tool for economic convergence and integration

Nanotechnology and Neuroscience Convergence: A Novel Tool for Neurotransmitters Monitoring

Since neurotransmitters significantly influence the brain activity, our understanding of the human brain will remain imperfect until all aspects relating to them become clear. One of the key challenges in neuroscience researches and therapies is elucidating the mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter release take place and is regulated in quantity and in time. Despite the enormous number of st...

Infrastructure as a Catalyst for regional Integration, Growth, and economic Convergence: scenario Analysis for Asia

Recent research at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Asian regional integration has highlighted the importance of structural barriers to trade (Brooks et al., 2005). Indeed, it now appears that overcoming geographic and institutional obstacles that increase trade and transport margins is a very important constraint to regional trade expansion and sustained growth. In their 2005 study of infra...

Tourism as an Economic Develpment Tool

Internal migration and interregional convergence in Russia1

In this paper, we study panel data on region-to-region gross migration flows in Russia for 19952010. We find that barriers to labor mobility that hindered internal migration in 1990s, have been generally eliminated by the end of 2000s. In 1990s many poor Russian regions were in a poverty trap: potential workers wanted to leave those regions but could not afford to finance the move. In 2000s (es...

Environmental education as a solution tool for the prevention of water pollution

Water is the origin of life. 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water and all living things must have water to survive. Life without water can not be considered. Despite this, of all living things only humans exploit, waste and pollute this vital natural resource. Raising awareness of the people on this issue is of great importance. At this point, environmental education is a key concept....
