Download or read book Confronting Poverty in Iraq written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides the most comprehensive and rigorous analysis of Iraqi income and expenditure in several decades. The report makes extensive use of the Iraq Household Socio-Economic Survey, the first nationwide income and expenditure survey since 1988. IHSES data is complemented income and expenditure data from a wide range of other measures of living standards, allowing us to analyze living standards in a holistic way. The analysis presented here was performed with two main goals first, to inform the Government s Poverty Reduction Strategy; and second, to serve as a baseline for future assessments of changes in living standards and the identification of critical issues for deeper examination. Iraqi living standards have two unusual characteristics. First, they have fallen over the past generation. Second, they feature surprisingly little inequality. These characteristics are both rooted in Iraq s recent history of authoritarian government, war, military occupation, insurgency, and civil strife leading to infrastructure destruction and population displacement. There have been few opportunities for individuals to prosper from professional or entrepreneurial activities. Decades of neglected investment have resulted in deterioration of social services and economic infrastructure. Consequently, individuals have lacked capabilities to prosper and an investment climate conducive to prosperity. School enrollment and life expectancy have declined. Extremely low returns to education reflect the combination of poor educational quality and lack of employment opportunities. In terms of economic infrastructure, access to reliable electricity and water, and even access to paved roads are low, are further reflections of decades of neglect. While the upper end of the distribution has been pulled down by a lack of opportunities, the lower end has been supported by direct government provision of food. The Public Distribution System (PDS) provides 85 percent of food needs. While PDS has been useful as a safety net for the poor and the vulnerable, the system is expensive, inefficient, and fiscally risky. Indeed, PDS food rations account for a far greater share of public spending than does education or health. Going forward, Iraq faces two main challenges. First, although Iraq does not have to develop from scratch, it faces a formidable challenge in re-development. Second, a shift by the Government is required from direct provision of basic subsistence toward investment in human capacities. The Government can provide an enabling environment through investments in economic infrastructure and services to business and citizens, thus allowing the population to make productive use of education and their own labor. Both challenges are now being taken up by the Poverty Reduction Strategy, which articulates a detailed set of required actions and outlines priorities for government spending.

This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's integrated silicon circuits and systems for wireless communications are of a huge complexity. This unique compendium covers all the steps (from the system-level to the transistor-level) necessary to design, model, verify, implement, and test a silicon system. It bridges the gap between the system-world and the transistor-world (between communication, system, circuit, device, and test engineers). It is extremely important nowadays (and will be more important in the future) for communication, system, and circuit engineers to understand the physical implications of system and circuit solutions based on hardware/software co-design as well as for device and test engineers to cope with the system and circuit requirements in terms of power, speed, and data throughput.

Download or read book Negative Group Delay Devices written by Blaise Ravelo and published by Institution of Engineering and Technology. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negative Group Delay Devices: From concepts to applications introduces the theoretical concept, analysis, design methodology and implementation of negative group delay (NGD). The NGD concept is a recent topic in electrical and electronic engineering research based on an unconventional function; the generation of an output signal seemingly in time-advance of the input signal. The NGD function has been exploited to develop experimental high-performance electronic devices, and novel design features of radio frequency (RF) and microwave electronic devices, such as filters, power dividers and amplifiers. Examples include the realization of non-Foster reactive elements, shortening or reducing delay lines, enhancing the efficiency of feedforward linear amplifiers, improvement of phase shifters accuracy and bandwidth, equalization of electrical interconnect effects for the microwave, digital and mixed signal integrity improvement, and minimizing beam-squint in series-fed antenna arrays.

Download or read book Gestion des Boues de Vidange written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plus d'un milliard de personnes dans les zones urbaines et périurbaines d'Afrique, d'Asie et d'Amérique latine sont desservies par des dispositifs d'assainissement à la parcelle. La gestion des boues extraites de ces dispositifs, les « boues de vidange », a été jusqu'à présent grandement négligée. Les ressources financières sont souvent insuffisantes et les dispositifs d'assainissement à la parcelle ont tendance à être considérés comme des solutions temporaires, dan l'attente de la mise en place de réseaux d'égouts. Cependant , force est de constater que l'assainissement à la parcelle est là pour durer, soit en tant que solution autonome permanente, soit en association avec des systèmes égouts-station. La gestion adéquate des boues de vidange issues des dispositifs d'assainissement des ménages est un impératif pour la protection de Ia santé humaine et de l'environnement. Cet ouvrage est le premier à être consacré à la gestion des boues de vidange. II rassemble l'état actuel des connaissances de ce domaine qui évolue rapidement, et propose une approche intégrée qui lie les composantes technologiques, organisationnelles et de planification. II aborde la planification et l'organisation de l'ensemble de la filière de gestion des boues de vidange depuis la collecte et l'évacuation des boues jusqu'aux solutions de traitement et à l'utilisation finale ou la mise en dépôt des boues traitées. En plus de fournir des éléments fondamentaux sur le traitement et une description des technologies existantes, l'ouvrage présente en détail les aspects opérationnels, institutionnels et financiers. II propose également une méthode de planification d'un projet de gestion des boues de vidange à l'échelle d'une ville avec l'ensemble des parties prenantes.

Download or read book Rammed Earth Structures written by Julian Keable and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramming earth has been a method of construction for centuries in many parts of the world and the technique can produce buildings that are strong, durable, safe and desirable. Because earth is an abundant and cheap resource, rammed earth buildings are often very economical. To achieve the best results the right techniques for the selection and testing of soils must be used to protect walls from water damage and shrinkage. This book aims to show how high standards can be achieved and the criteria on which rammed earth structures and building techniques can be judged. Since the fi rst edition of this book was published, the standards described in Rammed Earth Structures has been adopted as a Building Standard in Zimbabwe. Further progress is being made extending the use of rammed earth as an officially sanctioned building material across all SADC countries. This book is now therefore becoming an important guide and resource for those wishing to employ this economical and low-carbon building material in the construction of public as well as private buildings in Africa and elsewhere.

Download or read book Valorisation agricole des boues d puration urbaines written by Ahmed Boutmedjet and published by Presses Academiques Francophones. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'utilisation prudente des boues d'epuration urbaines en agriculture, presente souvent le meilleur mode de leurs valorisation, vu qu'elles offrent des avantages tres interessants, en particulier leur valeur fertilisante. Cet avantage, pourrait ameliorer les sols des regions arides. La presente etude experimentale montre l'effet positif, ainsi que les limites de l'epandage de quatre doses de boue (D0, D1, D2 et D3) sur un sol sableux implante par trois essences forestieres, a savoir l'Acacia, l'Eucalyptus et le Casuarina. les resultats revelent que la D2 offre les meilleurs rendements de croissance pour le Casuarina et l'Eucalyptus, alors que c'est la D3 pour l'Acacia. les teneurs des vegetaux en azote, phosphore et potassium ont connu une augmentation, avec une legere elevation des teneurs en metaux lourds. Pour l'impact de cette application sur le sol, il est a noter une diminution du pH, une augmentation de la conductivite electrique et un enrichissement en matiere organique. Ce travail interessera les etudiants, les chercheurs et les professionnels dans le domaine de la science du sol, la foresterie et l'environnement, en particulier la valorisation des residus urbains."
