REDD+ and Forest Carbon Rights in Fiji: Background Legal Analysis
The introduction of the mechanism Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) under the UNFCCC provided developing countries with the prospect of a financial incentive to reduce their levels of deforestation and forest degradation. The report discusses forest carbon rights and the ownership of the rights in the context of land tenure and the existing laws, particularly in relation to land, forests and timber rights in Fiji. Consideration is given to how a REDD+ policy might be implemented in Fiji, including the appropriate repository of forest carbon rights, the reconciliation of competing rights to lands and forests and necessary administrative arrangements and legislative changes.

The measuriment of ferromagnets magnetic characteristics using Labview software
The digital method of measurement and registration of dynamic loops hysteresis family of magneto-soft materials where, along with known analogues from electro-technical steel, magnetic materials with considerably smaller specific magnetic losses such as amorphous alloys on the basis of iron, is offered. Tests of magnetic properties of materials are carried out on the base of the hardware-software measuring complex in which along with the standard established electric equipment and USB oscillograph for realization of a digital method, the software for the personal computer developed in the environment of visual programming of Borland Delphi 7.0, connected through the ActieveX technology with the Labview 7.0 environment, is applied. The software allows carrying out input of basic data concerning geometry of prototypes of cores from magnetic materials and numbers of rounds of the magnetizing and measuring windings located on their surface. Experimental data on voltage at measuring winding terminals are processed by means of the virtual integrator in a Labview package. The developed software provides the possibility of saving the obtained hysteresis loop in the form of a text file, and creation of the hysteresis loops family on the virtual oscillograph screen.
