TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the factors determining the dependence of local people on a protected forest area for commercial purposes, from a case study in India, and found that alternative income sources would greatly reduce the dependence on the forest.
Abstract: With the increasing demand for non-wood forest products for medicinal purposes and due to its high scope for value addition, these products are increasingly extracted by local communities not only for subsistence use but also to generate cash income. This study explores the factors determining the dependence of local people on a protected forest area for commercial purposes, from a case study in India. The findings go along with that of similar studies that alternative income sources would greatly reduce the dependence on the forest. This paper computes present value of NTFP using the data from a household survey. The projected value for the population, which gives the opportunity cost of prohibiting the use of forest by the local people, would serve as a good indicator for the policy decision on compensation to be paid to the local people for relocating them from the forest area.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a transformative consumer research (TCR) lens to poverty and its alleviation to generate productive insights with potential to positively transform the well-being of poor consumers.
Abstract: Increasing attention to global poverty and the development of market-based solutions for poverty alleviation continues to motivate a broad array of academicians and practitioners to better understand the lives of the poor. Yet, the robust perspectives residing within consumer research remain to a large degree under-utilized in these pursuits. This paper articulates how applying a transformative consumer research (TCR) lens to poverty and its alleviation can generate productive insights with potential to positively transform the well-being of poor consumers.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a two-level transmit power control mechanism in order to approximately equalize the transmission range R of an antenna operating at omni-directional and directional mode, which will not only improve medium utilization but also help to conserve the power of the transmitting node during directional transmission.
Abstract: The use of directional antenna in wireless ad hoc networks largely reduces radio interference, thereby improving the utilization of wireless medium and consequently the network throughput, as compared to omni-directional antenna, where nodes in the vicinity of communication are kept silent. In this context, researchers usually assume that the gain of directional antennas is equal to the gain of corresponding omni-directional antenna. However, for a given amount of input power, the range R with directional antenna will be much larger than that using omni-directional antenna. In this paper, we propose a two-level transmit power control mechanism in order to approximately equalize the transmission range R of an antenna operating at omni-directional and directional mode. This will not only improve medium utilization but also help to conserve the power of the transmitting node during directional transmission. The performance evaluation on QualNet network simulator clearly indicates the efficiency of our protocol.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that R&D and innovation responses of Indian public and private sector industries were similar in certain areas while they were quite different in certain other areas.
Abstract: Based on published secondary data, the study found that R&D and innovation responses of Indian public and private sector industries were similar in certain areas while they were quite different in certain other areas. Following economic liberalisation, growth rates of annual expenditure for in-house R&D of private sector industries increased but that of public sector industries came down. Barring a few exceptions, the R&D intensity of most industries decreased. The total annual innovation output of both public and private sectors came down after economic liberalisation. However, these changes in the rate of annual output of different types of innovations have been different for public and private sectors. Following economic liberalisation, there are signs of different only comparative advantages of R&D of public and private sector industries for the development of different types of innovations.
