Introduction:The Problem of Integrating ICT within National Systems of Innovation: Concepts, Taxonomies and Strategies
No full text"Running across the informative chapters on the diverse experience of several important countries with ICT is a unifying theory of what it takes for succesful economic development in today's globalized economy. While drawing on the high-tech products offered by advanced industrial nations, and selectively taking in foreign investments, developing nations need to build their own capabilities for innovation. This is a difficult balancing act, and one that requires significant indigenous investments in human capital and in R and D, and sophistication and strenght on the part of the relevant government officials. The case studies show different countries wrestling with the problem, some doing better and some worse. This is a fascinating and important book."Richard R.

Contrasting behaviour of chlorpyrifos and its primary metabolite, TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol), with depth in soil profiles
No full textRegulatory agencies and natural resource managers are increasingly recognising the role of pesticide metabolites in the overall risk to non-target organisms. However, the environment fate data on pesticide metabolites are relatively meagre. We report the sorption and degradation behaviour of chlorpyrifos and its primary metabolite, TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol), with depth in 2 Australian soil profiles. Sorption isotherms were determined by batch equilibrium method and the degradation was studied under controlled incubation conditions. Sorption of chlorpyrifos (Kd = 40.3–209.6 L/kg) was found to be about 100 times higher than that of TCP (Kd =0.45–2.86 L/kg) in both the soil profiles. A significant correlation ( r 2&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.88**) was found between sorption of chlorpyrifos and the soil organic carbon content, but not in the case of TCP. However, in the case of TCP a significant inverse relationship was observed with pH ( r 2&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.81**). The rate of degradation of chlorpyrifos increased with depth in the soil profile, whereas the converse was true for TCP. The time for 50% loss of chlorpyrifos (DT50) was found to be 23–28 days in the surface soils (acidic pH) and only 7–16 days in the subsurface (alkaline pH). The DT50 values for TCP in the surface soils ranged from 42 to 49 days and in subsurface soils from 64 to 117 days. The contrasting behaviour of chlorpyrifos and TCP in soil profiles is clearly evident from the study. Due to its lower sorption and longer persistence, TCP has a much greater leaching potential than chlorpyrifos.S. Baskaran, R. S. Kookana and R. Naid

Speleothems as proxy for the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO2
No full textWe have measured the stable isotope ratios of carbon in a suite of recent cave deposits (\u3c200 \u3eyears) from the San Saba County, Texas, USA. The methodology for dating these deposits using excess 210Pb was recently established [Baskaran and Iliffe, 1993]. The carbon isotope ratios of these samples, spanning the time period ∼1800–1990 AD, reflect the carbon isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2 for the same period. The pathways by which the δ13C of atmospheric CO2 is imprinted on these speleothems can be explained using a model developed by Cerling (1984). The results suggest that the carbon isotope ratios of speleothems can be used to develop long-term, high-resolution chronologies of the δ13C of atmospheric CO2 and, by implication, the concentration of the atmospheric CO2
phylogenetic analysis of antisense gene pairs in nematodes

"First insights into the nature and evolution of antisense transcription in nematodes" (Figure 3,4,5)
by Rödelsperger, Menden, Serobyan, Witte, Baskaran (BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016).
The protein sequences (.fa files) were obtained by aligning C. elegans reference sequences against 19 other nematode genomes with the help of the Software exonerate.
Multiple sequence alignments (*_alignment.fa) for homologous proteins were generated by the MUSCLE software and Maximum-likelihood trees were estimated by the phangorn R-package (.nexml files)
