Trajectories of Vulnerability of Rural Territories in the Ecuadorian Andes: a Comparative Analysis by Nasser Rebaï, Julio A. Alvarado Vélez

“…While the peasant populations of the Ecuadorian Sierra have been marked by multiple constraints in their history, for thirty years, the liberal policies that aimed at the “modernization” of the primary sector of the economy in Ecuador have led to profound changes in the Andean regions. From fieldwork conducted in the provinces of Azuay, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, during which interviews with institutional actors and surveys within family farms were carried out, it was highlighted that the disappearance of public agricultural services, the promotion of chemical pesticides and the development of mining have favored the disunity of the peasant groups. …”

Research on content distribution mechanism of MP2P networks by Guo-yin ZHANG, Lu LI, Jian-guo SUN, Xiang-hui WANG

“…In consideration of the current MP2P network disturbance from frequent location changes of the mobile nodes,the limited computing power and storage capacity,a flexible strategy of partition management by assigning different functions to nodes according to some standards,regarding a subnet as a unit and using super-nodes to manage subnets were proposed.In order to speed up the data transmission and replacement efficiency,data was processed with partial network coding technology.Additionally,a trans-subnet query algorithm was proposed to link subnets,conduct informa-tion exchange between subnets and resource location.Results of the experiment manifested that this strategy can effi-ciently increase the resource download success rate and hit rate,reduce the average delay,improve the content distribu-tion efficiency of MP2P networks,and simultaneously enhance system robustness.…”
