Cyclone Mitigation, Resource Allocation and Post-disaster Reconstruction in South India: Lessons from Two Decades of Research
摘要:
This paper opens with a history of development and disaster‐prevention strategies in a cyclone‐prone area of the east coast of India and traces the evolution in the area of British and Indian governments' programmes and policy over a century. Research over the last 20 years has shown however that the programmes and policies have failed to balance economic growth with safety. Resources intended for the benefit of all have been diverted by alliances of powerful people to a small minority, and recent developments have reduced the physical protection of the area. The result is that increasing numbers of people are vulnerable to the effects of cyclones and floods. The findings suggest that the best way to reduce vulnerability is to improve the socio‐economic standing of the most vulnerable and for this to happen these people must have an assured income based on assets that will enable them to acquire social and economic credit‐worthiness within the local economy. This paper presents evidence that suggests that non‐governmental organisation (NGO)‐supported co‐operatives are the best way to achieve this through self‐help and self‐employment schemes. It also suggests that NGOs should be encouraged to take up environmentally and ecologically beneficial activities involving the poorest groups in the communities, in this way combining sustained self‐employment with environmental protection.

The “Borrowing Hydrogen Strategy” by Supported Ruthenium Hydroxide Catalysts: Synthetic Scope of Symmetrically and Unsymmetrically Substituted Amines
the N‐alkylation of ammonia (or its surrogates) and amines with “primary” alcohols. On the other hand, the N‐alkylation of ammonia surrogates (i.e., urea and NH4HCO3) with “secondary” alcoholsselectively produced the corresponding symmetrically substituted “secondary” amines, even in the presence of excess amounts of alcohols, which is likely due to the steric hindrance of the secondary alcohols and/or
易于制备的厌氧条件下,可以有效地促进氨(或其替代物,如尿素,NH 4 HCO 3和(NH 4)2 CO 3)和胺与醇(包括伯醇和仲醇)的N-烷基化反应。廉价的负载型氢氧化钌催化剂Ru(OH)x / TiO 2。氨(或其替代物)和胺与“伯”醇的N烷基化反应可以合成各种类型的对称和不对称取代的“叔”胺。另一方面,氨代用品(即尿素和NH 4)的N烷基化HCO 3)与“仲”醇选择性地产生相应的对称取代的“仲”胺,即使在存在过量的醇的情况下,这很可能是由于所产生的仲醇和/或仲胺的空间位阻所致。在有氧条件下,腈可以直接由醇和代理氨合成。观察到的当前N烷基化反应的催化本质上是非均相的,并且回收的催化剂可以重复使用而不会显着降低催化性能。当前的催化转化将通过连续N次进行烷基化反应,其中醇充当烷基化试剂。根据氘标记实验,建议在N烷基化反应期间形成二氢化钌。

Rh‐catalyzed one‐step synthesis of tertiary and secondary amines from aldehydes and ketones, ammonium carbonate serving as nitrogen source, and carbon monoxide as a reducing agent has been developed. Aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes lead to the corresponding tertiary symmetrical amines in 69–83 % yields. Aromatic and aliphatic ketones lead to the corresponding secondary symmetrical amines which were
