This volume contains detailed articles by theorists and experimentalists in the newly developing field of astroparticle physics. A large variety of topics are covered. These include the role of neutrinos in astroparticle physics, big bang nucleosynthesis, string theory and cosmology.Contents: The Highest Energy Cosmic Rays, Gamma-Rays and Neutrinos: Facts, Fancy and Resolution (F Halzen)Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Implications of Recent CMB Data and Supersymmetric Dark Matter (K Olive)Research Program of the TEXENO Collaboration: Status and Highlights (H T-K Wong & J Li)New Results from AMS Cosmic Ray Measurements (M A Huang)Measurement of Attenuation Length in Rock Salt and Limestone in Radio Wave for Ultra-High Energy Neutrino Detector (M Chiba et al.)Expected Performance of a Neutrino Telescope for Seeing AGN/GC Behind a Mountain (G W S Hou & M A Huang)Galactic High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Tau Neutrino Flux (K Cheung et al.)On Non Hadronic Origin of High Energy Neutrinos (H Athar & G-L Lin)Questions in Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (W-Y P Hwang)Noncommutative Early Universe (P-M Ho)Cosmological Constant, Quintessence and Mini-Universes (X-G He)Stability of the Anisotropic Brane Cosmology (W F Kao)Dark Energy, Primordial Magnetic Fields, and Time-Varying Fine-Structure Constant (K-W Ng)Readership: Graduate students and researchers in astrophysics and high energy physics.Key Features:Using Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand for case studies, this book provides a rare in-depth study on the impact of capital inflows and their impact on exchange rates, monetary policy and growth for small open economies, in the transition from a less developed stage to a more developed one. Using China as a case study, this book also provides a rare insight into the extent of capital flows and the formulation of monetary policy for a large, less developed economy in its transition to becoming a developed economy. There are almost no competing studies employing rigorous econometric techniques on these topics for developing economies
