The European species of the genera Amblyscelio and Baryconus are reviewed and revised based on morphological data. Females of Amblyscelio striaticeps Kieffer, 1913 and Baryconus graeffei (Kieffer, 1908) are described and the ovipositor of Amblyscelio is illustrated for the first time. The monotypic genus Amblyscelio was previously known only from a single male specimen. Baryconus graeffei is co...

The kinetics of the oxidation of N-aminopiperidine with chloramine was studied at different temperatures, with variable concentrations of the two reactants and at a pH ranging between 12 and 13.5. The reaction showed to be involving two steps: the first corresponded to the formation of a diazene intermediate, the second to the evolution of this intermediate into numerous compounds within a comp...

We are interested in a model for diphasic fluids in thin flows taking into account both the hydrodynamical and the chemical effects at the interface between the two fluids. A limit problem in “thin films” is introduced heuristically. It is a system coupling the Reynolds equation and the hydrodynamical Cahn-Hilliard equation. We study the mathematical properties of this system, and prove an exis...

— Based on an extended Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for 2002–03, this study shows how sectoral growth in India affects inequality. A breakdown of the wage account into three educational levels and 10 sectors of employment improves the link between sectoral expansion and household income in the SAM. The results show that only agricultural growth reduces inequality, while growth in heavy manufa...
