A descriptive study which examines the contextual environment of the indigenous entrepreneur in Botswana, the formal small-scale business community and the training and non-training needs of this subgroup of adults needing assistance in business promotion. Data was collected on a sample of 158 businesses situated in six towns and villages throughout Botswana. Several kinds of data were used including information from questionnaires, interviews, government statistics and published secondary sourc...

The development of increasingly sophisticated and powerful computers in the last few decades has frequently stimulated comparisons between them and the human brain. Such comparisons will become more earnest as computers are applied more and more to tasks formerly associated with essentially human activities and capabilities. The expectation of a coming generation of "intelligent" computers and robots with sensory, motor and even "intellectual" skills comparable in quality to ...

From 1840 to the present, the Treaty of Waitangi has been a subject of some significance in New Zealand – a distinctive but subtle thread running through the fabric of the country’s history and shaping attitudes to race relations. A conviction strongly held by New Zealanders is that the treaty has made the country different from other nations, that it initiated an experiment in race relationships that has secured reasonable accord over the years. Only as the climate of public opinion has shifted...

Literature,Middle Ages

Compared to the romances of Chretien de Troyes, Partonopeu de Blois has been little studied up to the present. Early studies, hampered by an inadequate edition, were limited largely to an examination of sources and/or comparative traditions; the romance was often mentioned in passing in works encompassing the entire genre or all of Old French medieval literature, but was rarely studied in depth. When the romance became accessible through Gildea's edition (1967), it was included in such studi...

Biology, General

The restriction endonuclease MboII recognizes a nonpalindromic, pentanucleotide DNA sequence and cleaves both strands of the DNA eight bases downstream, leaving a single 3' protruding base. MboII is one of a group of restriction enzymes which has its site of cleavage removed from its recognition sequence. Insertions of DNA sequences into the MboII cleavage site will not disrupt the recognition site allowing further additions to be performed. Several synthetic oligonucleotides containing MboI...

A comprehensive theory of conduction in polycrystalline silicon is presented. The present approach fundamentally differs from previous theories in its treatment of the grain boundary. This theory regards the grain boundary as an amorphous conducting medium and invokes drift-diffusion as the mechanism of conduction. This model explains the electrical properties of polysilicon in terms of the inherent electronic and structural parameters of the material and is in excellent agreement with the exper...

A general model for a multiphase mixture is developed within the framework of the theory of mixtures formulated by BOWEN. Each phase in the mixture is considered to be a mixture itself, composed of multiple substances with independent kinematic, chemical and thermal behaviors. The field equations for the substances in each phase, for the phases in the mixture and for the mixture as a whole are presented. A particular set of constitutive equations is adopted where the volume fractions of the phas...

Several analogues of creatine have been synthesized, characterized, and fed to animals, and the accumulation and utilization by tissues of their high energy phosphorylated derivatives have been studied. Chicks fed 1-carboxyethy1-2-iminoimidazolidine(homocyclocreatine) accumulated the extremely stable synthetic phosphagen, 1-carboxyethyl-2-imino-3-phosphonoimidazolidine (homocyclocreatine-P) in breast muscle (32 (mu)mol/g wet wt), heart (7 (mu)mol/g), and brain (2.4 (mu)mol/g). Homocyclocreatine-...

This paper addresses the problem of efficiently computing the motor torques required to drive a lower-pair kinematic chain (e.g., a typical manipulator arm in free motion, or a mechanical leg in the swing phase) given the desired trajectory; i.e., the Inverse Dynamics problem. It investigates the high degree of parallelism inherent in the computations, and presents two "mathematically exact" formulations especially suited to high-speed, highly parallel implementations using special-pur...

Electrical circuit designers seldom create really new topologies or use old ones in a novel way. Most designs are known combinations of common configurations tailored for the particular problem at hand. In this thesis I show that much of the behavior of a designer engaged in such ordinary design can be modelled by a clearly defined computational mechanism executing a set of stylized rules. Each of my rules embodies a particular piece of the designer's knowledge. A circuit is represented as a...

In this dissertation I examine the relationship between the churches and politics in Vanuatu, focusing in particular on the role of the Christian churches in the independence movement of the 1970s. I also look at the political involvement of the churches in the two years immediately following national independence. The dissertation is based on fieldwork in Vanuatu from April 1981 to June 1982. In Chapter I, I introduce and defend my national, institutional perspective on the churches. In Chapter...

This thesis describes the Meno-tutor, a computer program for tutoring. The program adapts its discourse to the context of student and discourse history, i.e., it responds differently to the knowledgeable student and the confused one. The program uses knowledge about tutoring strategies, complex communication skills, and its ability to infer the level of the student's knowledge to generate reasonable tutoring discourse. It can question a student about the subject domain, probe him for possibl...

Archaeology

Indigenous societies living under colonial control employ strategies to resist political domination and cultural suppression. In the absence of conspicuous nativistic or revitalization movements to promote political autonomy, sociopolitical changes in native societies are ignored or are interpreted as passive compliance. I propose three hypotheses regarding native strategies for autonomy. I evaluate these hypotheses against ethnohistorical and archaeological data from a community of missionized ...

The identity and life history of a trematode of the genus Coitoaaecum , commonly found in freshwater fishes in Canterbury, has been examined. Adults collected from naturally and experimentally infected fish closely resembled C. parvum Crowcroft, 1944 and an account of C. anaspidis Hickman, 1934, given by MacFarlane (1939). They differed from the latter in the position of the genital pore, shape of the cirrus sac and ovary, and in their size. Differences between the adults from Canterbury and the...
