Rural Capitalists and Development in Colonial Africa: A Comparative Analysis
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper explores the emergence and role of rural capitalists in colonial Sub‐Saharan Africa by comparing three peasant‐based economies: Bechuanaland, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. Using social tables, we estimate the population and income shares of better earning agricultural producers and assess their impact on rural inequality and ...

Performing Micro‐Role Transitions in Open Strategy
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Open strategy (OS) requires contributors with a variety of functional backgrounds to episodically perform a strategy role in addition to their functional responsibilities. These actors engage in micro‐role transitions as they temporarily shift from one role to another.

Synthesis of fuzzy sliding mode controller for liquid level control in spherical tank
Cogent Engineering, 2016 Spherical tanks are often used in process industries as storage or surge tank where control of level is essential. The liquid level in the spherical tank is modeled using first principle technique. A sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed initially to

Design criteria for a type of asymmetric orifice in a surge tank using CFD
Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2018 An asymmetric orifice can be added to a surge tank of a hydro power plant to dampen the mass oscillation. This allows a reduction of the required volume and a more stable behavior of the overall hydraulic system. In this paper, the advantage of a typical

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS) was founded in 2012 on President Vladimir Putin's orders. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the society's members have not only published propaganda to support the ‘special military operation’ but have discussed the need for a proper ‘state ideology’.
