The purpose of this paper is to analyze innovations and the innovation system and its dynamics in the ethanol sector in the State of Sao Paulo. More specifically, this paper focuses on the development process in the sector, the public policies taken to promote the sector, and the organizations and key players involved in these policies and their responses to unforeseeable changes in economic, social and technological environments. To this end, this paper takes an historical perspective and reviews data on the cultivation of sugar cane, the production of ethanol, and on sugar cane yields as indicators of the innovations achieved in the sector. The geographical distribution of these indicators is also examined. Next, several cases in Piracicaba and Campinas in the State of Sao Paulo are presented; these give us a more concrete idea of the processes involved in innovation and technology transfer. Based on these observations, the ethanol cluster and the innovation system of the State of Sao Paulo are discussed from the viewpoint of the flowchart approach to industrial cluster policy.

Clustering small manufacturers are believed to attain various types of collective efficiency. A woodworking and furniture SME district in Uganda has created a learning environment for artisans to start up their own workshops. In the district workers can access various managerial information including business skills and input materials easily than outside. Hence it attracted new entrants to follow and district growth continued. On contrary large firms are locating separately and dispersedly from SME district and have a negative image to SME. This dichotomy has been created partly through spatial division of two sectors and partly through policy favouritism toward large firms.

El Estado Bolívar cuenta con excelentes recursos de materias primas tales como el mineral de hierro y bauxita, y de profesionales especializados, los cuales representan oportunidades para mejorar las ventajas competitivas de una de las zonas industriales más grande de Latinoamérica. Para aprovechar tales ventajas se debe cambiar el modelos de política industrial actual de exportar en el mayor porcentaje productos primarios y semielaborados a través de las empresa básicas instaladas en la zona, a otro modelo económico basado en política de innovación para la diversificación de nuevos productos, soportados en la transformación de las Pequeñas y Medianas Industrias (PYMIS) del estado Bolívar, consolidando las empresas en organizaciones innovadoras que generen, aporten o adapten los conocimientos científicos y tecnológicos, obteniendo nuevos productos o mejoras de procesos con un alto contenido de valor agregado. Estos cambios avanzarán en la medida que se logren articular e integrar los actores que forman parte del Sistema Regional de Innovación (SRI). El presente proyecto se planteo como objetivo diseñar estrategias para desarrollar y articular las capacidades de los actores del SRI para el fortalecimiento de la I+D+i en el sector industrial de las cadenas siderúrgicas y del aluminio del estado Bolívar.

Los dramáticos cambios y avances tecnológicos, científicos y en las comunicaciones de los pasados 50 años han enfrentado a Puerto Rico con escenarios marcadamente complejos. A pesar de que la globalización tiende a ser considerada como un conjunto de variables económicas, este concepto trasciende esos límites y abarca otros aspectos fundamentales de la sociedad, tales como la política, la ideología, la comunicación, el medioambiente y la cultura, cuyos efectos han sido, y previsiblemente serán, críticos en muchos ámbitos en Puerto Rico. Por otro lado, desde su colonización en 1507 hasta el presente, Puerto Rico ha mantenido un estatus político de territorio o colonia bajo España o Estados Unidos de América y no han existido acuerdos para su autodeterminación como nación soberana o para su completa anexión a los Estados Unidos. El propósito principal de esta investigación es indagar en este marco general y analizar cuáles han sido los efectos de la globalización sobre el sector económicoindustrial y laboral de Puerto Rico, haciendo un recorrido por la macroeconomía, la cultura, la sociedad y la situación política. Ello nos ha llevado a documentar cómo la situación política afecta al desarrollo del sector industrial y, en consecuencia, al progreso de la Isla. El trabajo concluye evidenciando la relación que se establece entre los factores económicos, sociales y políticos y mostrando la necesidad de resolver la encrucijada del estatus colonial de Puerto Rico, lo cual implica la puesta en marcha de un proceso de reflexión colectiva, al que este trabajo pretende contribuir, que en última instancia culmine con la puesta en práctica de reformas en lo social, político y económico...

Drying is an important unit operation in process industry. Results have suggested that the energy used for drying has increased from 12% in 1978 to 18% of the total energy used in 1990. A literature survey of previous studies regarding overall drying energy consumption has demonstrated that there is little continuity of methods and energy trends could not be established. In the ceramics, timber and paper industrial sectors specific energy consumption and energy trends have been investigated by auditing drying equipment. Ceramic products examined have included tableware, tiles, sanitaryware, electrical ceramics, plasterboard, refractories, bricks and abrasives. Data from industry has shown that drying energy has not varied significantly in the ceramics sector over the last decade, representing about 31% of the total energy consumed. Information from the timber industry has established that radical changes have occurred over the last 20 years, both in terms of equipment and energy utilisation. The energy efficiency of hardwood drying has improved by 15% since the 1970s, although no significant savings have been realised for softwood. A survey estimating the energy efficiency and operating characteristics of 192 paper dryer sections has been conducted. Drying energy was found to increase to nearly 60% of the total energy used in the early 1980s, but has fallen over the last decade, representing 23% of the total in 1993. These results have demonstrated that effective energy saving measures, such as improved pressing and heat recovery, have been successfully implemented since the 1970s. Artificial neural networks have successfully been applied to model process characteristics of microwave and convective drying of paper coated gypsum cove. Parameters modelled have included product moisture loss, core gypsum temperature and quality factors relating to paper burning and bubbling defects. Evaluation of thermal and dielectric properties have highlighted gypsum's heat sensitive characteristics in convective and electromagnetic regimes. Modelling experimental data has shown that the networks were capable of simulating drying process characteristics to a high degree of accuracy. Product weight and temperature were predicted to within 0.5% and 5C of the target data respectively. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the underlying properties of the data could be predicted through a high level of input noise.

The non-timber forest products (NTFPs) sector in Nepal is being promoted with the concept of sustainable management as articulated by the Convention on Biological Diversity. To promote and regulate this sector, Nepal adopted the Herbs and NTFP Development Policy in 2004. The goal of this thesis was to assess the effectiveness of this policy along with other forestry and natural resource policies in Nepal concerning the conservation and sustainable use of NTFPs. I conducted open-ended semi-structured interviews with 28 key informants in summer 2006 in Nepal where I also collected relevant documents and publications. I did qualitative analysis of data obtained from interviews and document review. The research found many important issues that need to be addressed to promote the NTFP sector as envisioned by the Government of Nepal. The findings of this research will help to further implement the policy and promote the NTFP sector through sustainable management practices.
