This paper provides a full analysis of the transformation of the female labor market in Taiwan between 1979 and 1994. The authors emphasize the role of education, in relation both to the impressive increase in educational attainment and to its rising return on the labor market.

The “shell” dryer is an African solar food dryer which uses natural convection. Its design has been defined by users, in terms of local working conditions and ease of use. However, it is necessary to optimize the design of the dryer's air flow section for best performance. We present here a...

The “Shell” dryer is an African solar food dryer using natural convection. Its design has been defined by users, in function of local working conditions and of its easy using. But it is necessary for the best behaviour of this dryer to optimize its air flow section design. We present here a...
