    Economic Performance of Vietnam

    First of all, to define the economic performance of Vietnam, I will use GDP or gross domestic product as a basic to evaluate its effectiveness. According to a research of World Bank (2012), Vietnam was ranked 42nd over 178 countries with GDP (PPP) of $320.879 billion. Meanwhile, according to IMF (2012), Vietnam was ranked 51st over 178 with nominal GDP of $141.463 billion. These statistics already show a briefly look about the economic performance of Vietnam, in which can tell that, Vietnam still has a long way to achieve its ambition of becoming a strongly developed country. However, its accomplishment is remarkable.…

    Dr. Ryan Fortenberry presented about one of the greatest mysteries in spectroscopy, which involved these diffuse interstellar bands spectra of space. No one has been able to conclusively determine these specific bands, but after thought, Fortenberry speculated that these could potentially be absorption bands of anions due to various other observations from previous reports about these findings. Fortenberry ran calculations using the coupled-cluster theory to get the most accurate results, and it has been determined that several small anions, such as CH2CN-, had similar excitation energies compared to that experimental benchmark. However, several other ground state excitation energies, and that there was a correlation with silicon because there were some fairly accurate CCSD calculations that came out of molecules that contained silicon in there. Using these calculations, one can then use the spectra that generated with these calculations, and compare it with the interstellar bands to determine if there really are anions in space.…

    Pestle Summary Russia

    For each of the 8 countries we're covering, we'll start off with topline statistics as sort of a summary, or more of a launching pad for further exploration. We'll start with Russia, partly because this may be the last 5-year period that it is included in the top 10 international powers. Out of all the 8 countries I will look at individually, Russia faces the most daunting challenges. They have faced worse--I would hate to be a centenarian from Russia--but I doubt if they have the resources or leadership to avoid a sharp general decline over the next five years.…

    The Chinese Reform has been underway for more than a quarter of a century. This historical social transformation is one in which all of Chinese society is moving toward urbanization. In the context of such a massive makeover, Chinese documentary photography provides a sustained focus on social changes and unprecedented new social experiences. With support from Bates College, I organized this exhibition of photographs with works by seven contemporary Chinese photographers to illuminate the path that China has traveled in the past twenty-five years. The exhibition is intended to illustrate changes in Chinese society to an American audience.…

    China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country located in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.3 billion. The PRC is a single-party state governed by the Communist Party of China, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities, and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions . The PRC also claims Taiwan – which is controlled by the Republic of China, a separate political entity – as its 23rd province, a claim controversial due to the complex political status of Taiwan and the unresolved Chinese Civil War.…
