The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1. Introduction Table 1 Comparative analysis of different Roads are important access points because methodologies on network robustness indices connects different places like cities, districts, and Author Method Strength Weakness landmarks.

  • The First Filipino and Boricua Historians
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 45 / Number 90 2018 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Imperial Endnotes: The First Filipino and Boricua Historians Ernest Rafael Hartwell, PhD College of the Holy Cross ABSTRACT: The Philippines and Puerto Rico are part of a transoceanic archipelago of colonies that continued under Spanish rule throughout the 19th century, long after the Latin American wars of independence. This article examines parallel projects in anticolonial historiography from these two regions through the prism of converging and diverging articulations of authority. Specifically, two late 19th-century intellectuals, José Julián Acosta of Puerto Rico and José Rizal of the Philippines, dust off 17th- and 18th-century tomes of official Spanish colonial history, publishing critical editions of these histories. Acosta and Rizal insert their own voices into discussions over the past, present, and future of their colonies through the annotations that they append to the original texts. While scholars often affirm that the work of Latin American 19th-century writing is to facilitate the forgetting of differences in the service of community consolidation, I argue that these experiments in marginal historiography constitute a contentious and continual revisiting of difference at the root of the authors’ assertion of their own authority: difference from Spain, from the popular classes, and from other colonies. These projects of annotation expose the racialized nature of the colonial intellectuals’ constructions of authority, pointing to diverging understandings of the work of doubt in anticolonial historiography. The Philippines and Puerto Rico, often overlooked in studies of Latin American literature and history, are endnotes to Spain’s imperial saga.

(U.Qld.) DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS GRIFFITH BUSINESS SCHOOL GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2006 ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the rail gauge decision-making processes of the Australian colonies in the period 1850 – 1901. Federation in 1901 delivered a national system of railways to Australia but not a national railway system. Thus the so-called “standard” gauge of 4ft. 8½in. had not become the standard in Australia at Federation in 1901, and has still not. It was found that previous studies did not examine cause and effect in the making of rail gauge choices. This study has done so, and found that rail gauge choice decisions in the period 1850 to 1901 were not merely one-off events. Rather, those choices were part of a search over fifty years by government representatives seeking colonial identity/autonomy and/or platforms for election/re-election. Consistent with this interpretation of the history of rail gauge choice in the Australian colonies, no case was found where rail gauge choice was a function of the disciplined search for the best value-for-money option.
