Radiation, Protection of the Public and the Environment (Poster Session 1) Origin and Migration of Cs-137 in Jordanian Soils
Major scientific thematic areas: TA6 – Radiation, Protection of the Public and the Environment (Poster session 1) Origin and Migration of Cs-137 in Jordanian Soils Ahmed Qwasmeh, Helmut W. Fischer IUP- Institute for Environmental Physics, Bremen University, Germany Abstract Whilst some research and publication has been done and published about natural radioactivity in Jordan, only one paper has been published about artificial radioactivity in Jordanian soils (Al Hamarneh 2003). It reveals high concentrations of 137Cs and 90Sr in some regions in the northwest section of Jordan. The origin of this contamination was not determined. Two sets of soil samples were collected and brought from northwest section of Jordan for two reasons, namely; the comparable high concentration of 137Cs in this region according to the above-mentioned paper and because most of the population concentrates in this region. The first set of samples was collected in April 2004 from eleven different sites of this region of Jordan. The second set of samples has been brought in July 2005 from six of the previous sites where we had found higher 137Cs contamination. The second set was collected as thinner sliced soil samples for further studying and to apply a suitable model for 137Cs migration in soil. Activity of 137Cs was measured using a HpGe detector of 50% relative efficiency and having resolution of 2keV at 1.33MeV. Activity of 90Sr was measured for the samples of four sites of the first set of samples, using a gas-filled proportional detector with efficiency of 21.3% cps/Bq. The total inventory of 137Cs in Bq/m2 has been calculated and the correlation between 137Cs inventory and annual rainfall and site Altitude has been studied. -
1St IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition
1st IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition Bali, Indonesia November 17–19 , 2014 For Professionals. By Professionals. "Building the Trans-Asia Highway" Bali’s Mandara toll road Executive Summary International Road Federation Better Roads. Better World. 1 International Road Federation | Washington, D.C. ogether with the Ministry of Public Works Indonesia, we chose the theme “Building the Trans-Asia Highway” to bring new emphasis to a visionary project Tthat traces its roots back to 1959. This Congress brought the region’s stakeholders together to identify new and innovative resources to bridge the current financing gap, while also sharing case studies, best practices and new technologies that can all contribute to making the Trans-Asia Highway a reality. This Congress was a direct result of the IRF’s strategic vision to become the world’s leading industry knowledge platform to help countries everywhere progress towards safer, cleaner, more resilient and better connected transportation systems. The Congress was also a reflection of Indonesia’s rising global stature. Already the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia aims to be one of world’s leading economies, an achievement that will require the continued development of not just its own transportation network, but also that of its neighbors. Thank you for joining us in Bali for this landmark regional event. H.E. Eng. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel IRF Chairman Minister of Transport, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Indonesia Hosts the Region’s Premier Transportation Meeting Indonesia was the proud host to the 1st IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition, a regional gathering of more than 700 transportation professionals from 52 countries — including Ministers, senior national and local government officials, academics, civil society organizations and industry leaders. -

The Effect of Road Upgrading to Overland Trade in Asian Highway Network Ziyodullo PARPIEV ∗ Jamshid SODIKOV **
Eurasian Journal of Business and Economics 2008, 1 (2), 85-101. The Effect of Road Upgrading to Overland Trade in Asian Highway Network Ziyodullo PARPIEV ∗ Jamshid SODIKOV ** Abstract This paper investigates an impact of road upgrading and improvement on overland trade in 18 out of 32 Asian Highway Network member countries. A regression based cost model was developed. The results indicate that approximately 6.5 billion US dollars is required to upgrade and improve surface condition of the selected roads with total length of 15,842 km. The gravity model approach was adopted to quantitatively evaluate overland trade expansion assuming pessimistic and optimistic scenarios: improvements in road quality indices up to 50 and up to 75, respectively. The results suggests that in the first scenario total intra-regional trade will increase by about 20 percent or 48.7 billion US dollars annually, while second scenario predicts that trade will increase by about 35 percent or 89.5 billion US dollars annually. Keywords: Asian Highway Network, road transport, gravity model.

Introduction In 1992, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) endorsed the Asian Land Transport Infrastructure Development (ALTID) project comprising of the Asian Highway and the Trans-Asian Railway network. The formalization of the Asian Highway, through the Intergovernmental Agreement on Asian Highway Network (AHN), was adopted in November 2003. -
Growing Together Articulates a Number of Proposals That Can Help the Region Exploit Its Huge Untapped Potential for Regional Economic Integration
i Photo by Warren Field ii FOREWORD For the global economy, these are difficult times. The world is emerging from a crisis whose aftershocks continue to resonate – trapping some of the richest economies in recession and shaking the foundations of one of the world’s major currencies. Here at ESCAP, there are historical echoes. What is now the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific was founded more than 60 years ago – also in the aftermath of a global crisis. The countries of Asia and the Pacific established their new Commission partly to assist them in rebuilding their economies as they came out of the yoke of colonialism and the Second World War. The newly established ECAFE, as ESCAP was called then, held a ministerial conference on regional economic cooperation in 1963 that resolved to set up the Asian Development Bank with the aim of assisting the countries in the region in rebuilding their economies. Fifty years later, the Asia-Pacific region is again at a crossroads, on this occasion seeking ways and means to sustain its dynamism in a dramatically changed global context in the aftermath of a global financial and economic crisis. An important change is the fact that, burdened by huge debts and global imbalances, the advanced economies of the West are no longer able to play the role of engines of growth for the Asia-Pacific region that they played in the past. Hence, the Asia-Pacific region has to look for new engines of growth. The secretariat of ESCAP has argued over the past few years that regional developmental challenges, such as poverty and wide disparities in social and physical infrastructure, can be turned into opportunities for sustaining growth in the future. -
