the objective of this work is to elucidate various essential drugs in the brazil, russia, india, china and south africa (brics) countries. it discusses the opportunities and challenges of the existing biotech infrastructure and the production of drugs and vaccines in member states of the brics. this research is based on a systematic literature review between the years 2000 and 2014 of documents...

The aim of this paper is to study inequality and deprivations as reflected in the human sex ratio (commonly defined as the number of males per 100 females). The particular focus is on three emerging economies, viz., Russia, India and China. The paper compares and contrasts the experiences of these countries and discusses policy issues. It is noted that while the feminist perspective on the issu...

When Mao died in 1976, Russia appeared better poised than China to become an important commerical and industrial power in the global economy. Yet it is China rather than Russia that has embraced globalization and developed trade and manufacturing, exporting increasingly higher-value-added goods. The explanation for this surprising outcome in found is Chinese elites viewing globalization as thei...

This work devotes to investigations of solar corona and solar wind plasma by the method of radio probing with using of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). We performed the theoretical calculation of power spectrum of interferometric response to radio source emission, passed through the turbulent medium. Data of theoretical analysis are compared with results of international VLBI experimen...

How similar are the publishing patterns of among Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC countries) in comparison with other countries? This is a question that we addressed by using networks as a tool to analyze the structure of similarities and disparities between countries. We analyzed the number of publications from 2006 to 2015 that are reported by SCImago Journal and Country Rank. With this ...

Current models for seasonal climate prediction are limited due to poor initialization of the land surface soil moisture states. Passive microwave remote sensing provides quantitative information on soil moisture in a thin near-surface soil layer at large scale. This information can be integrated with a land surface process model through data assimilation to give better prediction of the near su...
