Unlike the industrialised countries of the Pacific Rim, the economies of Pacific islands remain dependent on natural resources. Their exports are dominated by minerals, timber, fish, agricultural products and tourism. Moreover, in contrast to Pacific Rim countries—where the majority of the population is fully integrated into the cash economy—a large proportion of the population of the Pacific s...

RESULTS CpGProD is an application for identifying mammalian promoter regions associated with CpG islands in large genomic sequences. Although it is strictly dedicated to this particular promoter class corresponding to approximately 50% of the genes, CpGProD exhibits a higher sensitivity and specificity than other tools used for promoter prediction. Notably, CpGProD uses different parameters acc...

After a review of the small island economy literature, this study compares the average performance of 16 Caribbean versus 15 mainly Pacific islands with three from the Indian Ocean. Mean difference analysis is employed across 22 socio-economic and demographic variables. Results confirm previous research. The Caribbean outperforms the Pacific with higher per capita GDP and life expectancy and lo...

The evolution of the shape and size of TiSi2 islands on Si ~111! surfaces is explored with real time ultraviolet photoelectron emission microscopy. During continuous deposition of Ti at elevated temperatures, individual islands in a dilute surface distribution grow larger without island–island interactions. As they increase in size, symmetric islands transform into elongated shaped islands with...

Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 21 Number 2 2006 © Asia Pacific Press This article assesses the magnitude of expected financial gains and the nature of incentives that a performance payment based contractual system may offer in a segmented sugar industry such as Fiji’s. A performance payment system (PPS), such as the Atherton system, could give all industry stakeholders incentives to improve p...

A bstract Recently it was proposed that the entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation contains information a region including interior event horizon, which is called “island.” In studies radiation, total system in black hole geometry separated into and hole. this paper, we study asymptotically flat Schwarzschild spacetime. Consistency with island rule for implies located different than island. ...

Aim We used insular lizard communities to test the predictions of two hypotheses that attempt to explain patterns of species richness on small islands. We first address the subsidized island biogeography (SIB) hypothesis, which predicts that spatial subsidies may cause insular species richness to deviate from species–area predictions, especially on small islands. Next, we examine the small isla...
