This is an exploratory, ethnographic study of female sex workers in Yangon, Myanmar. I show that neither the victimization nor empowerment discourses are sufficient to analyze situations of female sex workers in Yangon, Myanmar. There are two parts in my argument. First, I provide vignettes of sex establishments and different ways of organizing sex work. Then I discuss the influence of establishments, at institutional level, on how the female sex workers perceive their work places, and how the women present their bodies.

What is the influence of parents on college students' grades? While social capital from parents, through the lens of parental involvement, has been used in research of both primary and secondary schools, it has not been fully examined at the undergraduate level. 172 undergraduate students at Lehigh University were given a survey to see what influence social capital from parents may have on their grades. Social Capital was measured as parental involvement.

Abstract Power plant generates electricity as well as high temperature waste heat. NOx is main pollutant in power plant flue gas. NOx reduction reaction is expected to happen in given duct section. Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) method is selected to control NOx level. SNCR requires no modification on duct geometry and this method is more cost-effective compared to other NOx reduction systems. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is employed to simulate flue gas flow and mass and heat transports with an injection of droplets.
