This paper investigates the determinants of regional specialization between 1992 and 1997 using a panel covering 33 industries across 25 Chinese regions, paying particular attention to the role of regional protectionism. This study is motivated by a double paradox concerning the Chinese economy over the reforms. First some authors evidence reduced regional specialization despite the promotion of liberalization away from

Abstract Syntax/semantics interfaces using unification-based or feature-based formalisms are increasingly common in the existing computational linguistics literature.

In this paper we present BurstProbe, a new technique to accurately measure link burstiness in a wireless sensor network employed for time-critical data delivery. Measurement relies on shared probing slots that are embedded in the transmission schedule and used by nodes to assess link burstiness over time. The acquired link burstiness information can be stored in the node's ash memory and relied upon to diagnose transmission problems when missed deadlines occur. Thus, accurate diagnosis is achieved in a distributed manner and without the overhead of transmitting rich measurement data to a central collection point. For the purpose of evaluation we have implemented BurstProbe in the GinMAC WSN protocol and we are able to demonstrate it is an accurate tool to debug time-critical data delivery. In addition, we analyze the cost of implementing BurstProbe and investigate its eectiveness.

Research Objects (ROs) provide a flexible model to collate and describe the semantic context of science. In this position paper we describe how ROs can also provide a foundation for interoperability within RESTful architecture design, enabling the development of new services and clients alongside compatible enhancements to existing software including myExperiment. To illustrate this we introduce an infrastructure, known as the Wf4Ever Toolkit, providing services and clients to encapsulate, preserve, and re-use ROs.
