Network fabric fault-tolerance for Ethernet-based Networked Control Systems
Christine H. Alfi, Yara K. Hilal, Gina H. Aziz, Hassan H. Halawa, and Ramez M. Daoud
Networked Control Systems (NCS) are widely used in industrial applications. Ethernet has recently been used as the communication protocol in NCS. Since overcoming faults is crucial in control systems, fault-tolerance in NCS is being extensively investigated. This paper focuses on the fault-tolerance aspect of Ethernet-based NCS at the network fabric level. It proposes a novel architecture that achieves successful recovery from any single link or switch failure. The model was also tested and proved to be fault-tolerant for some multiple failures. © 2013 IEEE.

Gender, Poverty and Agro-Biodiversity Conservationin Rural Egypt and Tunisia
Habib Ayeb and Reem Saad
This paper investigates the links between poverty, gender, and biodiversity in rural Egypt and Tunisia. Its aim is to highlight the significant role of women in biodiversity conservation, as well as the complexities that characterize the relationship between poverty and biodiversity protection. Despite natural and social diversity, Egypt and Tunisia are comparable in terms of their present paths of economic transformation. Agriculture and rural society are comparable in both countries in terms of scarcity ofland and water, and threats to agricultural resources (urbanization, industrialization, tourism, agro-investment, etc.). In both countries, rural dwellers are increasingly resorting to non-agricultural activity, including internal and external labor migration. In both countries, the liberalization of agricultural land and water markets has been a core component of economic reform and structural adjustment policies. Those reforms have aggravated the problem of rural poverty, and have had adverse effects on the general welfare and status of food security of a significant number of rural households. In both countries, the over-exploitation of agricultural resources and the introduction of new modes of farming (including the increasing reliance on hybrid seeds) are posing significant threats to agricultural biodiversity and to the ecological balance in general. This problem has important implications for the welfare of rural dwellers, especially because of the implications for food security. This paper seeks to test a hypothesis supported by research evidence from other world regions: that women's increased access to secure land tenure and other agricultural resources is positively correlated with biodiversity conservation. The paper will also test the same correlation with respect to poor farmers. The paper is primarily based on fieldwork carried out in two comparable regions of rural Egypt and Tunisia, namely the region ofFayoum and the Oasis of Gabes respectively. In both areas there are serious challenges to agro-biodiversity and the ecological balance in general. These include the encroachment of urbanization and industrialization, emerging modes ofland exploitation that over-exploit natural resources, and the widespread use of hybrid seed varieties to the detriment oflocal varieties. In the area under study in rural Egypt, the main challenge to agro-biodiversity is the spread of hybrid seeds, while in the Tunisian case it is the encroaching urbanization and industrialization, and an expansion of investment agriculture. The paper is divided into three main sections. The first outlines the main conceptual issues, including comparative material from agrarian societies outside of the MENA region. The second details the Egypt case, and the third the Tunisian case.
