Trade policies can promote aggregate efficiency, but the ensuing structural adjustments generally create both winners and losers. From an incomes perspective, trade liberalization can raise gross domestic product per capita, but rates of emergence from poverty depend on individual household...

Three-dimensional atomic arrangements of ultra thin Fe silicide films were directly revealed. By using circularly polarized light with opposite helicities, forward focusing peaks with their positions shifted in photoelectron angular distribution (PEAD) patterns can be obtained. We successfully...

A chemical heat pump using a magnesium oxide/water reaction system is expected to be applicable to cogeneration systems using gas engine, diesel engine, and fuel cells. The operability of the heat pump was examined experimentally under hydration operation pressures between 30 and 203kPa. In the...
