English Community economic development has attracted increasing attention in Hong Kong as a strategy for tackling economic problems. This article analyzes its applications and limitations in Hong Kong. Such initiatives are thriving though the income generated is small. Appropriate business strategies, capacity building, and strong community links are crucial for its success. French L'économie sociale est une avenue de plus en plus considérée à Hong Kong pour relever les défis des problèmes économiques. Cette recherche analyse les applications et les limites de cette stratégie à Hong Kong. Les initiatives qui en découlent foisonnent même si les revenus produits sont restreints. Des stratégies commerciales appropriées, le renforcement des capacités et de solides liens communautaires sont des facteurs clés de succès. Spanish En el Hong Kong hay cada vez más interés por el desarrollo económico comunitario como estrategia para bregar con problemas económicos. Se analizan la aplicabilidad y las limitaciones de esta estrategia. Este tipo de iniciativas está floreciendo, aunque los ingresos que se generan son peque·os. Para el éxito de estas iniciativas es esencial que haya estrategias de negocios adecuadas, capacitación, y conexiones fuertes en la comunidad.

This study aims to find out and analyze the process of implementing capacity building for fish processing business groups by the Fisheries Service in Sinjai District. Data collection in this study is through interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using qualitative analysis. The results showed that in the process of implementing capacity building for fish business groups through training carried out by the Sinjai Regency Fisheries Office it had ineffective. There are several obstacles faced in the effort to develop the capacity of fish business groups, among others: Development participants have an unequal or heterogeneous background, such as education, work experience, and age. This will complicate and hamper the smoothness and implementation of training and education because of their catching power, perceptions, and reasoning for the lessons given differently. The curriculum that is established and taught is not in accordance with the needs of the trainees, in addition to the duration of the material delivery time is very short. In addition, the continuation of coaching is still lacking because after the training, it is not followed up by providing business capital as one of the problems faced by the group.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

The earliest distinctive lesions in human atherosclerosis are fatty streaks (FS), characterized initially by lipid-laden foam cell formation. Fibrous plaques (FP), the clinically significant lesions, differ from FS in several respects. In addition to foam cells, the FP also exhibit fibromuscular proliferation and a necrotic core region rich in extracellular lipid. The possible transition of FS into mature FP has long been debated, however. A subset of FS described by Katz etal., was intermediate in lipid composition between ordinary FS and FP. We investigated this hypothesis by electron microscopic cytochemistry by employing a tissue processing technique previously described by our laboratory. Osmium-tannic acid-paraphenylenediamine (OTAP) tissue preparation enabled ultrastructural analysis of lipid deposits to discern features characteristic of mature fibrous plaques.

Industrial microwave heating technology has emerged as a new ceramic processing technique. The unique advantages of fast sintering, high density, and improved materials properties makes it superior in certain respects to other processing methods. This work presents the structure characterization of a microwave sintered ceramic matrix composite.Commercial α-alumina powder A-16 (Alcoa) is chosen as the matrix material, β-silicon carbide whiskers (Third Millennium Technologies, Inc.) are used as the reinforcing element. The green samples consisted of 90 vol% Al2O3 powder and 10 vol% ultrasonically-dispersed SiC whiskers. The powder mixture is blended together, and then uniaxially pressed into a cylindrical pellet under a pressure of 230 MPa, which yields a 52% green density. The sintering experiments are carried out using an industry microwave system (Gober, Model S6F) which generates microwave radiation at 2.45 GHz with a maximum output power of 6 kW. The composites are sintered at two different temperatures (1550°C and 1650°C) with various isothermal processing time intervals ranging from 10 to 20 min.

When the size of a semiconductor is reduced by an appropriate materials processing technique to a dimension less than about twice the radius of an exciton in the bulk crystal, the band like structure of the semiconductor gives way to discrete molecular orbital electronic states. Clusters of semiconductors in a size regime lower than 2R {where R is the exciton Bohr radius; e.g. 3 nm for CdS and 7.3 nm for CdTe) are called Quantum Dots (QD) because they confine optically excited electron- hole pairs (excitons) in all three spatial dimensions. Structures based on QD are of great interest because of fast response times and non-linearity in optical switching applications.In this paper we report the first HREM analysis of the size and structure of CdTe and CdS QD formed by precipitation from a modified borosilicate glass matrix. The glass melts were quenched by pouring on brass plates, and then annealed to relieve internal stresses. QD precipitate particles were formed during subsequent "striking" heat treatments above the glass crystallization temperature, which was determined by differential thermal analysis.
