Integration by Migration?

"In terms of trade and capital flows, the Middle East is one of the least economically integrated regions of the world. The major exception is labor mobility, where intraregional migration flows are extensive. The explanation for this pattern lies in the extreme differences in factor endowments across the region and development policies adopted by both labor-importing and exporting countries. Because the obstacles to trade in goods have been greater than the obstacles to migration, labor mobility and its associated capital flows have been the most important mechanism through which the benefits of the oil windfall have been spread to the poorer states of the region. There is evidence that incomes across the Middle East have become more equal."

Ionospheric heating by VLF transmitters?

A series of experiments was carried out in 1983–1985 to investigate precipitation of radiation belt electrons by Omega Australia onto the great circle path from the 22.3 kHz NWC transmitter (North West Cape, Australia) to Dunedin, New Zealand. These were similar in concept to the experiment described by Inan [(1990), Geophys. Res. Lett. 17, 729] using the NAU transmitter to induce electron precipitation onto the great circle path from the 24.0 kHz NAA transmitter (Maine) to Palmer Station (PA), Antarctica. Unlike the perturbations received by Inan which indicated only heating effects by the NAU transmitter, our observations showed both a delayed modulation expected of electron precipitation effects and the prompt modulation expected of heating effects. However, we were able to duplicate (and explain) the prompt modulation effect using a local signal generated in our laboratory which thereby throws doubt on the validity of this effect in both experiments.
