ID : tm2987810849 A New Measure of the Intensity of Capital Account Openness It is widely acknowledged that the long term economic development and growth of capital-scare countries depends on the flows of capital from those resource-abundant economies. Liberalizing the capital account is one of the approaches adopted by policymakers of these poor countries to promote growth. However, capital account liberalization is m=not a one-time event that constitutes an instantaneous and complete removal of barriers on capital flows. Instead, most countries liberalize their capital account by lifting individual restriction gradually over time. Given the potential beneficial ramifications on economic growth, the fundamental question is on how to measure capital account openness. As noted by Kose et al. (2009), many countries have capital controls that are quite strict on paper but ineffective in their enforcement, so their actual capital flows are quite high. At the other extreme, many countries are quite open to global capital markets on de jure basis, but in practice capital flows are minimal. Hence, to capture the degree of capital account openness, it is important to capture both the de jure (legal-based) and de facto (outcome-based) aspects so that its impacts on the economy will not be underestimated. Unfortunately, our extensive survey has found that the extant literature measures financial liberalization either on a de jure or de facto basis. Motivated by these shortcomings, the main objective of this study is yo construct a new composite indicator of capital account openness that captures both the de jure and de facto information. This index will be used to quantify the impacts of capital account liberalization on financial development (Baltagi et al., 2009), economic growth (Quinn and Toyodo, 2008), and the occurrence of financial crisis (Edwards, 2008). These new findings are expected to provide useful guides to policymakers in developing countries. |

ID : tm2988910860 Response of Underground Pipes due to Blast Loads In our day-to-day activities, we come across underground pipes which are used for services such as water supply, drainage, sewerage, oil and gas supply. Due to huge investment in the construction of these installations, there is a need to study their responses due to blast, especially in cases where it is lain across the road or directly underneath multistory buildings. This research work has examined the carious constituents of blast vis--vis ground media, intervening medium, pipes and blast loads. Using Unified Facilities Criteria (2008), ground shock parameters for blast in buried pipes, open trench and surface blasts for commonly used explosives at various stand-off were estimated. In addition, using empirical method, shock parameters for underground blast for commonly used explosives at various stand-off were also estimated. Existing models were verified using the Abaqus code and results compared with those obtained using the SAP program. Consequently, parametric studies of buried pipes were carried out using a finite element-based numerical code, the Abaqus. Finally, guidelines for the design of buried pipes to resist effects of blasts were suggested. |

ID : tm2990010871 Mengkuang Fiber Composite@MeFiCompTM Mengkuang tree a pandanaceae family, can be found along the coastal area of Malaysia. In Malaysia, mengkuang tree leaves most widely used as plaiting material. Mengkuang fibers has a potential to be a wood plastic composite material due to its long fibers characteristics. Long length fiber will give more strength to fiber plastic composite that will be produces. This characteristics depend to filler loading of the fibers with plastic materials. In Malaysia various types of fiber plastic composite, the natural fibers that have been studied were, kenaf, banana trunk fibers and also pineapple leaf. While mengkuang seen as one of the future natural fibers to be used as filler/substitute because of its natural abundance and fiber characteristics. |
