There is an increasing trend to adopt ad hoc networking for commercial uses; however, their main applications lie in military, tactical and other security-sensitive operations. In these and other applications of ad hoc networking, secure routing is an important issue. Designing a foolproof security protocol for ad hoc network is a challenging task due to its unique characteristics such as, lack of central authority, frequent topology changes, rapid node mobility, shared radio.

  • Does Migration Destination Affect the Mortality Advantage of Mexican Immigrants? a Comparison of Traditional, New, and Emerging Destinations
    Does Migration Destination Affect the Mortality Advantage of Mexican Immigrants? A comparison of Traditional, New, and Emerging Destinations Andrew Fenelon1 1National Center for Health Statistics, 3311 Toledo Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782 Abstract Health declines for immigrants with greater exposure to the United States, but the specific characteristics of the migration and assimilation processes that contribute to this pattern are less clear. As the Mexican population in the US has grown, it has expanded outside traditional gateways in California and Texas to new destinations throughout the US. This study examines the mortality of Mexican immigrants in Traditional versus New and Emerging destinations in the US. Using National Health Interview Survey data between 1989 and 2009 the analysis finds that Mexican immigrants in New and Emerging destinations have a significant survival advantage over their counterparts in traditional established destinations. This advantage may reflect selective migration to new destinations, superior employment prospects, or slower behavioral assimilation. US-born Mexicans do not benefit from this advantage. The results suggest that the spatial characteristics of the assimilation process are important when considering the health of immigrants. Introduction The Hispanic mortality advantage refers to the finding that the Hispanic-origin population in the United States experiences lower adult mortality rates than the non-Hispanic white population, despite lower average socioeconomic status among Hispanics. The “Hispanic Paradox” calls attention to the fact that Hispanics resemble African-Americans in terms of socioeconomic indicators but non-Hispanic whites in health and mortality indicators (Hummer, et al., 2000, Markides and Eschbach, 2011). In many studies, Hispanics exhibit higher life expectancy than non-Hispanic whites, as well as more favorable profiles with respect to non-fatal conditions such as cancer incidence and severity, heart disease, and hypertension (Eschbach, et al., 2005, Singh and Siahpush, 2002).

INTRODUCTION Cultural products are important to post-modern society and the economy (Throsby, 2008). Among a range of different cultural products, cultural tourism destinations are significant because they provide opportunities to present a snapshot of a region’s image and history, symbolize a community’s identity, and increase the vibrancy of local economies (Chen, Peng, & Hung, 2015; Hou, Lin, & Morais, 2005; Wansborough & Mageean, 2000).

This eBook asks: Should governments react to the COVID health crisis and collapse of incomes COVID-19 and Trade Policy: and trade by turning inward? The authors provide an unequivocal answer: No. Turning inward won’t help today’s fight against COVID-19. It won’t foster economic recovery, and it won’t nurture the collaborative Why Turning Inward Won’t spirit that the human race will need to defeat this threat. National trade barriers in a world of internationalised manufacturing processes make it harder for every nation to get vital supplies.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.

The effect of ‘mind-set’ on preference consistency over time in tourist decision making. ABSTRACT: Where a lengthy period is available for the choice of tourist destination, people’s tendency to change their minds can be pronounced. This makes the investigation of preference (in)consistency of great interest. Here, we integrate construal level theory (CLT) with mind-set theory, for the first time, to explore the moderating effect of an internal factor (i.e. mind-set) on preference shifts from desirable to feasible attributes over time.
