why were some la ninas followed by another la nina
Climate Dynamics, 2014Co-Authors: Zengzhen Hu, Arun KumarAbstract:This paper investigates why some La Nina events are followed by another La Nina and some others are not. We propose two Preconditions that result in continuation of a La Nina. The first one is that La Nina must be a strong event (a major La Nina). This ensures that the reflected Rossby wave signal at the eastern boundary of the Pacific has a strong westward propagating cold ocean temperature anomaly over the off-equatorial region. The off-equator cold anomaly may not be conducive to the equatorial recharge process, and as a result, may favor the persistence of cold ocean subsurface temperature anomaly and prevent the transition from La Nina to El Nino. The second Precondition is whether there are eastward propagating downwelling Kelvin waves during the decay phase of a major La Nina. Eastward propagating downwelling Kelvin waves could lead to demise for a tendency for a follow-up La Nina. The equatorial Kelvin wave activities are associated with fluctuations of surface wind in the equatorial far-western Pacific. The analysis suggests that both the surface wind in the equatorial far-western Pacific and the recharge/discharge of the equatorial Pacific are indicators for occurrence or no occurrence of a follow-up La Nina event.

forestry industry development in zambia an opportunity for public private partnership for small and medium enterprises
International Forestry Review, 2017Co-Authors: Phillimon Ngandwe, Donald Chungu, Jegatheswaran Ratnasingam, Tahiana Ramananantoandro, P Donfack, Jacob MwitwaAbstract:In recent years, public-private partnerships (PPPs) concepts have attracted attention of the government of Zambia. Policies and legal frameworks have been developed and updated to promote PPPs in the country, particularly in infrastructure development, health and energy sectors. However, the forestry industry has not been listed among priority sectors for PPP development due to inadequate information about the subsector. The aim of this study was to identify Preconditions for the development of PPPs in the forestry sector and to provide information that may be pertinent for partnerships in the processing industry. Based on the information from secondary sources, over 6.7 million m3 of wood, distributed across the country, was estimated as a requirement for sustainable supply for industrial processing. The PPP potential areas include forest conservation, afforestation, value addition, bioenergy production. Formation of a private timber development agency is a major Precondition to the development PPPs for SMEs in Zambia.

on the relations of sinicized scientific socialism and modernization
Journal of Baoding University, 2009Co-Authors: Dong SidaiAbstract:The modernity growth of China's social transform in modern time,the judgment to capitalism by Chinese people,and the modern transformation of traditional Great Harmony consist of the Precondition of the sinicization of scientific socialism. The revolution theory of neo-democratism by MAO Tsedong embodies the sinicization of Marxism and serves as the political Precondition to the modernization of China's socialism. Planned economy confines the social modernization though helpful to industrialization. The DENG Xiaoping's theory auspicates the new bourn of socialism modernization,and the scientific view on development proclaim the request of the time on the development of sinicized scientific socialism.
