North Korea suffered from severe famine in the mid-1990s; this impacted many areas, including people's transnational movement, child growth, and mortality. This review carefully examined nutritional status trends of children in North Korea using published reports from national nutrition assessment surveys. Nutritional adaptation of North Korean child refugees living in South Korea was also stud...

Improving the accessibility of coal transportation is a crucial issue for energy security, national defense, and livelihoods. In this study, method to evaluate performance port-centric chain (PCTC), which part international production delivery process, proposed. After analyzing features chain, practical evaluation model established based on gravity model. Both foreland hinterland are considered...

The paper examines the gains from North-South trade and their distribution. In a `new growth, new trade' framework, we examine the factors that determine four phases or stages of development in the South as equilibria: specialisation in a traditional good; the South in addition copies Northern innovative manufactured goods; the South begins to innovate in its own right and nally a stage in whic...

The relationship between Gulf Stream (GS) transport and coastal sea level is investigated using monthly GS 1993 2019 at Florida Straits 10 altimeter tracks. results show that decorrelates quickly along its path, indicating it misleading to assume a particular location represents strength of the as whole. south Cape Hatteras significantly correlated with in South Atlantic Bight from both altimet...

The genesis and timing of formation the giant Bayan Obo deposit, world's largest rare earth element (REE) deposit in western part late Paleozoic northern North China continental arc (NCA), are highly controversial due to complex mineral assemblages reported ages mineralization. We conducted new zircon U-Pb 40Ar/39Ar dating metamorphic igneous Neoarchean Permian mid-to upper-crustal rocks exhume...

We examine South’s incentive to protect IPR in a North-South duopoly model where (i) the North firm owns a better technology and has the option of serving the South market via exports or FDI, and (ii) the South firm can invest in absorptive capacity to reduce the technology gap. While FDI by North firm makes absorption easier for South, investment in absorptive capacity by the South firm might ...

This paper develops a simple three-region model of the global economy along structuralist lines, with the North, NICs, and the (rest of the) South. The North produces an investment-cumconsumption good while the NICs and the South produce two different consumption goods. The North grows with excess capacity along Kalecki-Keynes lines; the NICs are modelled along Marxian lines with a given rate o...

Microbat studies are uncommon in the Wet Tropics of north-east Queensland, despite group comprising 20% bioregion's mammal fauna. The significance fragmentation and habitat connectivity to echolocating insectivore is unknown. Over a 12-month period 2021–2022, microbat presence was recorded 25-year-old restored wildlife corridor 1.2 km length. We deployed Anabat detectors corridor, adjacent open...
