FDPOs enhanced wound healing in db/db mice as well as FDPIs and RT-PLTs. Wound closure was obtained 6 days earlier than untreated wounds and histologic examination revealed reduced granulation and increased cellular angiogenesis.
High school student knowledge of and interest in natural resources issues and careers is important to the future of the forestry profession. This article reports on a high school student's research project to establish what these knowledge and interest levels are. This student used MySpace to survey high school students across the country. Interest in the environment and natural resource issues was high, but interest in natural resource careers, especially forestry, was low. One major reason for the results seems to be a lack of information concerning natural resource careers at the high school counseling level. This suggests that marketing may be needed to attract students to the forestry profession.
This chapter argues that there is reason to be cautiously optimistic about the potential of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to contribute to structural transformation in Ethiopia. It first reviews the development of SEZs in Ethiopia, including industrial policy, the facilitating role of the Ethiopian government, the demonstration effect of leading firms, technology and skills transfer, and learning by doing with Chinese state-owned enterprises. It then analyses four ingredients for success in Chinese SEZs—commitment by high-level leadership, dynamic experimentation and learning, targeting sectors in line with latent comparative advantage, and capable public administration. It further evaluates the prospects of Ethiopian SEZs from the theoretical perspective of New Structural Economics. In building this analysis, this chapter touches upon areas of interest to students of development, including the historical transitions and development of SEZs in both Ethiopia and China, and China’s engagement as a development partner in Africa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
