Estimating Page Importance based on Page Accessing Frequency
No full textWith the vast growth of the Internet, many web pages are available online. Search engines use a component called as web crawlers for collecting these web pages from the web for storage and indexing. Many web pages are autonomous and are updated independent of the users..As the web pages are updated autonomously; users do not come to know of how often the sources change. An incremental crawler visits the web repeatedly after a specific interval of time for the updation of its collection. Users are benefited by knowing the page importance based upon the page accessing frequency. This paper finds out the page importance based on page accessing frequency and also architecture for the same is also proposed
The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Origin : impact on workforce and future implications
No full textArtificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from theoretical models to real-world applications that impact every sector of the global economy. While AI promises increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation, it also brings significant disruption to traditional labor markets. The transition from industrial automation to AI-driven decision-making has accelerated job displacement across both blue-collar and white-collar industries. This chapter explores the historical context of job displacement due to AI, the sectors most at risk, and potential strategies for mitigating the economic and social consequences of this transformation

No full textThe future of work : global workforce dynamics in an AI-enabled world
No full textThe rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming global workforce dynamics, reshaping how organizations manage talent, collaborate across borders, and structure work. This paper examines the evolving interplay between AI technologies and global work arrangements, focusing on the transition from traditional outsourcing models to AI-driven partnerships and hybrid workforce systems. It explores how AI-powered tools are enabling virtual teams, enhancing productivity, and redefining roles by automating routine tasks while creating opportunities in AI-centric fields. Ethical challenges, including workforce displacement and widening skill gaps, are also addressed, with a focus on strategies to promote inclusivity and adaptability. Through case studies and emerging trends, this research provides actionable insights for businesses and policymakers to navigate the opportunities and challenges of an AI-enabled workforce, ensuring sustainable and equitable global work practices
Agricultural trade liberalization in the Uruguay Round : one step forward, one step back?
Get PDFAfter evaluating the Uruguay Round's impact on agriculture and border protection in the next decade, the author concludes that while there was significant reform of the rules - particularly the conversion of nontariff barriers into tariffs and the reduction and binding of all tariffs - in practice, trade will probably be liberalized less than expected. The objective of the Round was to reverse protectionism and remove trade distortions. This may not be achieved in practice, at least not until further reductions are carried out in future rounds of negotiations. The major exception to this conclusion is in high-income Asian countries, where protection for major commodities will be significantly reduced. The tariffication and binding of all tariffs on agricultural products represents a significant step forward. Liberalization is implicit because countries are prohhibited from arbitrarily raising tariffs to new higher levels. But many of the newly established tariffs are so high in many countries as to effectively prohibit trade. Patterns of liberalization vary considerably by commodity and by country. Generally, the extent of liberalization was diminished by binding tariffs to the base period of 1986-88, when border protection was at a high point. In most OECD countries, this was worsened by"dirty tariffication:"the new base tariffs offered even greater protection than the nontariff barriers they replaced. Even after the commitments to tariff reductions in the Round, the ad valorem measure of the final binding tariffs will remain higher than the average rate of protection in 1982-93. A number of developing countries in East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East chose to lock in prior liberalization efforts on some products. But for most commodities, there will be little actual liberalization, since most developing countries chose to bind their tariffs at a maximum level. Even when countries reduced already-bound rates, bound tariffs remained significantly higher than current applied rates, giving countries the flexibility to raise tariffs later. The high level of bound tariffs may allow countries to apply variable tariffs below the bound level, thus failing to stabilize tariffs and improve market access. Moreover, the Round did not touch many of the worst distortions in developing countries, such as import subsidies, export taxes, state-trading monopolies, and domestic policies that implicitly tax agriculture.Trade Policy,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Export Competitiveness,Rules of Origin,Trade Policy,Rules of Origin,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research
