Abstract:
AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing process that allows for the creation of a physical object from a digital model. Additive manufacturing has a number of advantages over the conventional methods, inter alia the production of very complex machinery components, and a lower consumption of raw materials. Thanks to these advantages, the technology has been booming recently. The paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of additive technologies in the context of environmental impacts using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The paper describes the most important aspects of additive manufacturing, reviews the basic principles and phases of LCA method, including its application in AM, and outlines selected publications dealing with LCA and additive technologies. In conclusion, we recommend the most suitable methodologies to assess environmental impacts of additive technologies. To be specific, LCA is suitable to assess AM as for the material and energy flows, and in general, research in this field is considered highly promising.

Abstract:
Multidimensional scaling was developed by psychometricians, namely R. N. Shepard (1962) and J. B. Kruskal (1964). Its purpose is to deduce indirectly the dimensions a respondent uses to evaluate alterna­tives. The reason for using the indirect approach is that, in many cases, the attributes may be unknown and respondents may be unable or unwilling to repre­sent their reasons accurately. As already mentioned, multidimensional scaling requires an object-by-object similarity matrix as an input. Initially popularized, however, multidimen­sional scaling relies on judged similarity. That is, re­spondents indicate how similar pairs of objects are directly rated (e.g. on a 1–10 scale). This can be a bur­densome task since for p objects p(p-1)/2judgments are needed. Still, the use of similarity judgments is relatively easy for respondents, especially when they cannot or do not want to reveal the basis for their opinion. The results of multidimensional scaling depend on (a) the sample chosen to judge similarity and (b) the objects whose similarity is judged and the quality of input data. Multidimensional scaling derives dimen­sions that appear to be used by those rating a par­ticular set of objects. The basic type of multidimensional scaling in­volves deducing graphical models of alternatives (e.g. brands) alone (simple space) from similarity data. Some early applications of multidimensional scaling accepted apparent dimensions as “truth” without question or validation, which often proved to be disastrous. It is advisable to use multidimensional scaling as a generator of hypotheses rather than as a final model of the market. Any important result should be confirmed on a separate sample with a separate method, such as direct questioning, before the results are given too much credence. Multidimensional scaling generates a configu­ration in which the relative positions of the brands are unique. The picture can be changed by several opera­tions without changing the relationship among the interpoint distance in some of the algorithms (as­suming the Euclidean distance is used, which it almost always is). A major problem in data collection is the bur­den on respondents as the number of alternatives increases (e.g. 20 alternatives require 190 pairs). However, if respondents are “homogeneous”, it is possible to have different subjects rate a different pair.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction In the last three decades, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been widely used in pediatric surgery. Meta-analyses (MAs) showed that studies comparing minimally invasive with the corresponding open operations are available only for selected procedures. We evaluated all available MAs comparing MIS with the corresponding open procedure in pediatric surgery. Materials and Methods A literature search was performed on all MAs listed on PubMed. All analyses published in English, comparing pediatric minimally invasive with the corresponding open procedures, were included. End points were advantages and disadvantages of MIS. Results of 43 manuscripts were included. MAs evaluating the minimally invasive with the corresponding open procedures were available for 11 visceral, 4 urologic, and 3 thoracoscopic types of procedures. Studies included 34 randomized controlled trials. In 77% of MAs, at least one advantage of MIS was identified. The most common advantages of MIS were a shorter hospital stay in 20, a shorter time to feeding in 11, and a lower complication rate in 7 MAs. In 53% of MAs, at least one disadvantage of MIS was found. The most common disadvantages were longer operation duration in 16, a higher recurrence rate of diaphragmatic hernia in 4, and gastroesophageal reflux in 2 MAs. A lower native liver survival rate after laparoscopic Kasai-portoenterostomy was reported in one MA. Conclusion In the available MAs, the advantages of MIS seem to outnumber the disadvantages. However, for some types of procedures, MIS may have considerable disadvantages. More randomized controlled trials are required to confirm the advantage of MIS for most procedures.

Abstract:
The existence of contact angle hysteresis – the difference between the values of the advancing and receding contact angles – is evident in nature (e.g. sticking of rain drops to car windscreens and window panes) and many industrial processes (e.g. surface coating, spraying, and dyeing of fabrics). This phenomenon is often viewed as a nuisance, but it is advantageous in many processes including dip and spin coating, spraying, and painting. With the early theoretical framework of Thomas Young, Robert Wenzel, and A. B. D. Cassie and S. Baxter, describing the wettability of solid surfaces and by extension contact angle, contact angle hysteresis has been deeply investigated. We review here the various ways of measuring contact angle and, consequently, contact angle hysteresis as well as related theoretical models. The successes and limitations of these models are highlighted. We conclude with the advantages and disadvantages of contact angle hysteresis whose presence in many processes is often considered as a nuisance, especially when "coffee stain" forms from the evaporation of a volatile liquid drop containing nonvolatile components.

Abstract:
AbstractIn terms of monitoring the material and volume flow of pipe conveyors, the conveyor is considered to be a volumetric machine that does not have a "self-defence" function - in most cases, material needs to be dosed and monitored in the critical parts of the conveyor for smooth transportation and quick detection of deficiencies and errors. Appropriate attachment of the material flow sensor to the pipe conveyor structure plays an important role for efficient material monitoring on the pipe conveyor belt. The paper specifies and subsequently analyzes selected methods of mounting an optical material flow monitor - the Bulkscan LMS511, based on the ratio index method by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of individual variants. The optimal variant is modelled in the PTC Creo Parametric program and the estimated costs for its implementation are evaluated.

Abstract:

Recently in education, a new trend called flexible seating has emerged. Classrooms with flexible seating are redesigned to have a “Starbucks” atmosphere where students choose from a variety of alternative seating options and workspaces rather than sit at traditional desks. This study looks at the advantages and disadvantages of having flexible seating in an elementary classroom and determines what implications there are for teachers considering this type of arrangement. It also provides insight into how those involved in the classroom are experiencing flexible seating. Using teacher interviews, classroom observations, and student surveys, this mixed methods case study describes two 5th grade teachers and their classrooms’ flexible seating experiences. Based on the results of the study, the researcher advises teachers to let the nature of the task determine the classroom seating arrangement. In addition, she suggests providing alternative seating devices for students regardless of the arrangement chosen as they allow for more movement throughout the day. And lastly, the researcher encourages teachers to consider their own teaching style and preferences when choosing an arrangement because they will be most effective when the classroom is arranged in a way that is pleasing and comfortable to them as well.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the method of one-click purchasing. One-click purchasing is a method allowing the customers to transact a purchase with only one click. The customer has entered the payment information necessary to complete the purchase at a previous occasion. Within the next buying opportunity, the customer can purchase products with one single click. The analysis and conclusions is based on both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources represent the result of a questionnaire performed with 200 respondents. The survey showed that the most common advantages with the method was fast, smooth, easy and time efficient. The disadvantages on the other hand were more varying and included cons such as uncertain, unreliable, risk-taking, page hacking, fraud and identity hijacking. The conclusion is therefore that the disadvantages are in grater number and also more shifting, which means that the perception of the one-click purchasing method tends to be more negative.

Abstract:

The most widely used gasoline additive methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been questioned recently, since frequent detection of this compound in groundwater indicates that it could be a risk to our environment. Consequently, legislative efforts have been made by some local governments to phase out the use of MTBE. Among a number of alternative substitutes, ethyl tert-butyl (ETBE) seems to be the more promised one due to its lower water solubility, suggesting that it could pose less impact to our water supply. However, a thorough understanding of its environmental fate is needed before ETBE is widely accepted as a more environmentally friendly gasoline additive. As a part of this effort, the degradation of MTBE and ETBE as well as their effects on the fate of aromatic gasoline components, i.e. BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and xylenes) were studied on two soils contaminated with MTBE-blended or ETBE-blended gasoline. During a period of 5 months, the general aerobic degradation of the gasoline and its different additives were monitored by gas chromatography – thermal conductivity detection (GC-TCD) and concentration changes of MTBE and ETBE were monitored with the help of gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of this study showed that the degradation of MTBE, ETBE and BTEX occurred in all the systems, nevertheless MTBE and ETBE degraded far more slowly in contrast with the degradation of BTEX, indicating that MTBE and ETBE are more persistent. When the degradation of MTBE and ETBE were compared, ETBE decreased a little faster than MTBE, implying that ETBE advantages slightly in degradation over MTBE. Concerning the effects of MTBE and ETBE on the fate of BTEX, the results showed that MTBE might enhance whereas ETBE might inhibit the degradation of BTEX though at a lower level. In addition, less degradation of MTBE and ETBE was observed in organic-rich soil in all the cases, probably because that there are more other substrates available for the microorganisms in organic-rich soil.

Abstract:
The study looked at the trends toward the privatization or contract management of auxiliary services such as college bookstores at four year public universities to determine the degree that self-operated or leased bookstores support the campus based on the level of service quality being provided to students, financial support to the institution, academic support to the campus and other factors. The use of the SERVQUAL (1991) instrument was effective in evaluating levels of consumer satisfaction in the bookstore industry. Student satisfaction with newly leased bookstores was significantly higher than with institutional bookstores. The change from one delivery method to another appeared to be the cause of the higher levels of satisfaction and not the lease operator. Staffing levels are lower with lease bookstores. There was no data, however, to support a decrease in service as a result of the staff reduction. Auxiliary service directors strongly believe that their institutional operations could be as competitive as the leased bookstore. Yet, leasing is occurring at a dramatic rate which suggests that there is a need to set clear goals and objectives and communicate the role of auxiliary services. Prices and product selection increased as a result of the bookstore being leased. This study shows that the retail prices in the bookstore increased significantly when the campus store leased its operation. Review of the data suggests that higher retail prices correlate to higher percentages of gross revenue given to the institution by the lease operator. Leased bookstores financially contribute more to the institution than self-operated bookstores. This study, however, found no evidence to support the belief that leasing is more beneficial than self-operation because the philosophy of senior level administration does not expect the institutional bookstore to generate a profit but rather "just break even." Academic involvement is low among all college bookstores. There was a loss of management control and less monitoring as a result of leasing. Complaints of unfair competition were reported to have occurred 15 percent more frequently at the institutional bookstore than the lease bookstore.

Full text
Abstract:
Coral reefs thrive in nutrient-deficient environments yet function among the most productive ecosystems on Earth as a consequence of the symbiosis between coral hosts and their symbiotic zooxanthellae. The symbiotic unit (holobiont) can utilize both inorganic and organic sources of nutrients for the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen required for metabolism, growth, and reproduction. An iterative model was created to describe the flux of carbon and nitrogen between a host and its algae. The model design is based on a previously published conceptual model of algal symbioses; functions and values of input parameters are based on published studies of the coral species Stylophora pistillata. The model is designed to simulate responses of the coral, zooxanthellae and the holobiont to different environmental variables, either one at a time or changing simultaneously. Simulations presented are for default values based on previously published data for S. pistillata adapted to high-light (shallow-euphotic) and low-light (deep-euphotic) environments, and for single-variable manipulations of rates of a) host feeding, b) photosynthesis, and c) dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) uptake. Simulations examining feeding rates between 0% and 6.5% of host biomass indicate that biomass of both high-light and low-light adapted holobionts increase exponentially with increased feeding, with benefit to the high-light holobiont ~8 times greater than to the low-light holobiont. Increasing rates of photosynthesis illustrated that a low-light holobiont is carbon limited, is primarily dependent upon host feeding, and can benefit from a small increase in photosynthesis rate. Simulations examining rates of DIN input indicate that the high-light holobiont functions optimally when inorganic nitrogen input is very low. Increase in DIN up to 0.5% resulted in benefit to the holobiont, but more resulted in unrealistically excessive growth by the zooxanthellae until a function to maintain a fixed range for the host-zooxanthellae biomass ration function was included in the model. Simulations for the low-light holobiont did not indicate any benefit from DIN input. The model was originally designed using a spreadsheet-based program which frequently became overloaded when testing multiple variables. Modification of the model in software better designed for modeling is recommended for future work.

Abstract:
Mange hevder at stor avstand mellom prosjekterende og utførende i byggenæringen er en kritisk hemsko for effektiv prosjektgjennomføring. Uavhengig av avstanden og årsakene er det grunn til å tro at en bedre samhandling mellom prosjekterende og utførende, både i og utenfor prosjekter, vil være gunstig for alle aktører. Denne masteroppgaven har som formål å undersøke hvordan det påvirker arbeidet til rådgivere og arkitekter at entreprenørene blir involvert tidlig i prosjekteringsfasen. Prosjekteringsfasen har tradisjonelt sett vært styrt av rådgivere og arkitekter, men nye gjennomføringsmodeller har gjort at entreprenører får stadig større ansvar for prosjektering. Undersøkelsene har kartlagt hvilke fordeler og ulemper det har for prosjekteringsteamet å samarbeide med entreprenøren allerede fra tidligfasen. For å besvare problemstillingen er det utført case-studier av 2 prosjekter der entreprenøren har vært involvert fra oppstart. Det er utført et omfattende litteraturstudium, samt kvalitative intervjuer med rådgivere, arkitekter og entreprenører for å besvare forskningsspørsmålene. Resultatene tilsier at det er flere klare fordeler for prosjekteringsteamet at entreprenøren involveres tidlig. Entreprenørers spesialkompetanse på kostnadsestimering, byggbarhet og risikohåndtering er av stor verdi for prosjekteringsteamet. Denne kompetansen kan prosjekteringsteamet dra nytte av for å utvikle bedre design for kunder. Det ble ikke funnet noen klare ulemper med tidlig entreprenørinvolvering, men snarere en del utfordring knyttet til det. Entreprenører har et sterkt kostnads- og fremdriftsfokus. Rådgivere og arkitekter kan derfor oppleve at kostnad går på bekostning av kreativitet og innovasjon. Det er også viktig at sentrale underleverandører blir involvert til riktig tid. Byggbarhetskompetansen forsvinner dersom totalentreprenøren hverken utfører arbeidet selv eller involverer underentreprenører tidsnok. Den viktigste forutsetningen som må ligge til grunn er likevel gjensidig respekt og tillitt. De ulike aktørene må ha en felles forståelse for hverandres fag og enes om en felles målsetning så alle aktører kan dra i samme retning.Undersøkelsene som er utført har dannet grunnlaget for en vitenskapelig artikkel til konferansen IGLC2014 (International Group for Lean Construction). Masteroppgaven består av (1) den vitenskapelige artikkelen, (2) en prosessrapport som beskriver arbeidet, og (3) vedlegg. Prosessrapporten redegjør for temabakgrunn, problemstilling og målsetninger, og utfyllende refleksjon rundt forskningsmetode er inkludert i rapporten. Den redegjør også for valg og beslutninger underveis, samt ubenyttet arbeid og data som av ulike årsaker ikke kom med i den endelige artikkelen. Til slutt presenteres tanker for videre arbeid. I tillegg til artikkelen er det utarbeidet en A3-rapport som oppsummerer artikkelen. Dette var et krav fra arrangørene av konferansen og skal brukes av konferansens deltagere under presentasjonene. A3-rapporten finnes i vedlegg 4.

Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to analyze the possible effects of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Agreement aimed to be signed between the European Union and the United States by the end of 2015. The TTIP is expected to have important social, economic and political benefits for the European Union and the United States. In this respect, following a short description of the TTIP, the possible effects of this agreement on the European Union, the United States as well as on world trade will be described. The effects of such an agreement on Turkey will also be examined both with respect to Turkey’s already existing relations with the European Union and the United States. In parallel with these, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing Customs Union Agreement between Turkey and the European Union will be evaluated with respect to the TTIP. Based on this analysis, some policy alternatives for Turkey will be proposed that might help Turkey to overcome the current disadvantages that will result from the TTIP and that might strengthen its trade relations with both the European Union and the United States by transforming those disadvantages into advantages.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the two well known Design by Analysis methods for unfired pressure vessels: the stress categorisation method (as given e.g. in the 2004 ASME B&BV Code Section VIII Division 2 [1], and EN 13445-3 Annex C [2]) and the new Direct Route (using elastic-plastic finite-element analysis) as given in EN 13445-3 Annex B [2]. A comparison of results is given for examples of various degree of difficulty to show the principal ideas and the applicability of the two approaches: a dished end with a nozzle in the knuckle region, a cylindrical shell to flat end connection and a rather complex header of an air cooler with rectangular cross section. As shown by the considered examples, the Direct Route method gives unique solutions (which is not always the case for stress categorisation) and can be advantageous in some cases, but requires a more time consuming analysis. The questionable design limits given by the 3f-criterion of the stress categorisation method can be avoided by usage of the progressive plastic deformation design check of the Direct Route if the required number of action cycles is low.

We study pseudo-Boolean constraints (PBC) and their special case cardinality constraints (CARD) from the perspective of knowledge representation. To this end, the succinctness of PBC and CARD is compared to that of many standard propositional languages. Moreover, we determine which queries and transformations are feasible in polynomial time when knowledge is represented by PBC or CARD, and which are not (unconditionally or unless P = NP). In particular, the advantages and disadvantages compared to CNF are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Magnetic Field Imaging (MFI) and Thermal Laser Stimulation (TLS) failure analysis (FA) techniques (e.g. OBIRCH, XIVA, ect.) both have advantages and disadvantages. The obstacles encountered from these techniques may hinder further fault isolation (FI), lengthen turn-around-time and/or detract from actionable results. MFI using a Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) sensor is compared to TLS techniques to understand the capability of the MFI technique at finding shorting defects. A short within a capacitor bank is successfully isolated using both techniques.

Full text
Abstract:
Plane spiroid gears currently applied in feed motion rotary drives are roughly described in this paper. The theoretical possible methods of backlash adjustment in this kind of gear are mentioned. Referring to industry experience the only applied method, which uses the eccentric, is described. Its advantages as well as disadvantages related to operation and wearing process are pointed. The disadvantages are mainly connected with changing the gear axis distance while rotating eccentric in order to adjust backlash. A graph depicting the movements of the worm in the direction of backlash reducing and in the perpendicular one, which changes the axis distance, is given. In order to provide some information about the influence of changing axis distance on the mating of face toothing with the worm, mathematical model was created. Some effects of numerical calculations based on that model and showing the bearing contact of the face gear drive supplied with eccentric backlash adjustment are depicted. It can be noticed, how changing the axis distance influences the bearing contact. It can be also estimate if within the chosen range of eccentric rotation the theoretical bearing contact is still acceptable to operate correct. A simplified model presenting the wearing process is also provided. It reveals that after some operating time an edge contact appears while reducing backlash. It significantly decreases the operating time till the next adjustment. There are two methods of backlash reducing described: the first is typical whilst the second is improved and proposed by the author. The advantage of the proposed method is lengthening the operating time between two backlash adjustments. In the end a new type of spiroid gear mating with double-lead worm and deprived of aforesaid disadvantages is mentioned.

Abstract:
Abstract Governments and the nuclear sector realize more and more the importance of waste characterization in the end cycle. Several methods are available for radiological characterization. Each method has his advantages and disadvantages in regard to the definition of the operational range based on the waste characteristics and the knowledge of the waste. The decision on what technique(s) to be used will be based on the required precision, accuracy, detection limit and isotopes to be declared for a certain purpose and on the related costs. Recently Belgoprocess, the Belgian waste treatment facility, has performed large efforts and investments to assure a good waste characterization.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the economic advantages and disadvantages of multi-axis point absorber wave energy converters in comparison to conventional heave-only point absorbers. A multi-axis point absorber wave energy converter (MA-PAWEC) is classified as a point absorber device that has a power take off (PTO) system extracting energy from more than one mode of motion (e.g. heave and surge). The majority of existing point absorber devices operate in heave mode alone. Therefore the forces exerted along other axes must be resisted by the mooring system, any reciprocal component of which constitutes a wasted opportunity to extract energy. The economics of PAWECs are governed by the available resource, energy generated by the device, capital cost and operational cost. These factors are examined for MA-PAWECs and compared to a generic heave-PAWEC. For a performance comparison, a simple generic body PAWEC is examined under heave mode operation and multi-axis operation in a representative spectrum. The modelling is based on linear potential theory. The potential advantages of MA-PAWECS are identified as greater energy absorption, fewer installed devices for a given capacity, and greater array control. Disadvantages include higher capex, higher maintenance costs and sensitivity to PTO costs. The performance and costs are assigned an estimated economic scaling factor and are applied to a generic heave-PAWEC for an economic comparison of the two devices. This indicates that a multi-axis approach to point absorbers could offer a 21% lower cost of electricity than the incumbent heave-response devices.

Abstract:
The gasifier in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Power Plant gasifies coal using an oxidant gas that facilitates partial combustion and effective gasification of the coal feed. When electricity generation is the prime objective of the IGCC facility this oxidant can be ambient air, or gaseous oxygen produced from an Air Separation Unit (ASU). Gasification technology providers are presently divided in their type of offering and information in the public domain does not effectively guide End Users in the advantages and disadvantages of the two gasification methods as applicable to the particular project being developed. This paper highlights key design aspects that should guide End Users in making an effective assessment and perform detailed evaluation of the gasification technologies for the particular IGCC project in consideration.

In ASME 2020 15th International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/msec2020-8502.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Titanium is widely used in many industry areas (such as automotive industry, aerospace industry, and medical industry) due to its superior properties of low density, high strength to weight ratio, strong corrosion-resistance, etc. However, commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) parts still have some disadvantages (such as relatively low hardness, and wear resistance) which limit their further applications. In order to reduce these disadvantages, some reinforcement materials (such as ceramics and nanomaterials) are involved to fabricate titanium-based parts Compared with ceramics, low content of nanomaterials could significantly improve the mechanical properties and reduce disadvantages of ceramics (such as poor wettability and low interfacial bonding between reinforcement materials and Ti). Graphene oxide (GO) is a preferable candidate of nanomaterial due to its excellent mechanical properties and low density. The GO reinforced Ti parts have been fabricated by the selective laser sintering (SLS) process. Laser additive manufacturing (LAM) process includes directed energy deposition method and powder bed fusion method. Compared with powder bed fusion method (such as the SLS and selective laser melting (SLM)), directed energy deposition method (e.g. laser engineered net shaping (LENS)) has advantages of parts repairing and gradient parts fabrication capabilities. There are no studies on the fabrication of GO-Ti parts by LENS process. In this study, GO-Ti parts are fabricated by the LENS process. The effects of GO and laser power on fabricating defects of porosity, microstructure, and mechanical properties (including microhardness, elastic modulus, wear rate) were studied, for the first time.

Abstract:
Fundamental transformations await the world’s economies in the upcoming 20 years. For Turkey to be able to achieve its desired level of prosperity, current structural problems must be solved and preemptive policies must be developed regarding global developments. For Turkey to attain prosperous and virtuous society of the future, Turkey needs a sustainable, long-term, fast-growing economy based on social justice. The Economy in the Turkey of the Future report provides a holistic vision for achieving the infrastructure of the prosperous and virtuous society of the future. The report meticulously analyzes Turkey’s contemporary economy in the light of data and presents the necessary fields to focus on for the future and which kinds of policy ought to be handled with what kind of a perspective in accordance with the advantages and disadvantages. The report touches upon three global trends and their potential impact on national economies and Turkey. It then addresses social justice, sustainability, in the context of long-term economic growth, demographic dynamics and the workforce, Islamic finance, international trade, and sectors deemed strategic. The report focuses on the structural properties that determine the long-term economy rather than short-term economic fluctuations. Many of Turkey’s short-term problems arise from the lack of long-term policies. To this end, the report’s most important emphasis is on the need for long-term policies.

for Development Programme, Knowledge. Using Indices to Capture Vulnerability for Development Finance in SIDS. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), April 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.066.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review examines evidence on indices to capture vulnerability for development finance in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). A key issue when it comes to aid allocation to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is whether current measures of development – such as income per capita - are truly able to reflect the unique set of challenges that these countries face. Inability to accurately measure development in SIDS can lead to substantial risk. On the one hand, aid allocation that solely relies on income levels may result in an unsustainable reduction in external support to SIDS, leaving them to face high levels of economic, environmental, and social vulnerability. On the other hand, an inadequate measure of vulnerability can lead to no clear pathway to the reduction in aid, making it very improbable for SIDS to become self-reliant, no matter how far they develop or climb the income ladder. This aim of this paper is twofold. The first is to look at whether vulnerability indices can help determine the levels of external support SIDS need. The second is to consider how this can help in determining when support can be reduced or terminated. This is achieved by considering the different indices that international organisations and multilateral development banks use to capture the vulnerability of SIDS, how they use these indices to determine thresholds for aid allocation, and the advantages and disadvantages of applying each.
