In this paper, absorptive capacity e ects of human capital on innovation are introduced into the endogenous growth model. In order to empirically test their relevance, a spatial endogenous sample splitting estimator is proposed. With the help of the proposed model and estimation strategy, we are able to empirically demonstrate the relevance of absorptive capacity e ects on innovation controllin...

Starting from the known one-loop result for the ee-annihilation process ee γ,Z −→ qq̄g with massless quarks we employ analyticity and crossing to determine the absorptive parts of the corresponding one-loop contributions in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and in the Drell-Yan process (DY). Whereas the O(α2 s) absorptive parts generate a nonmeasurable phase factor in the ee-annihilation channel o...

In spite of much research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) responses to secondary stakeholders (i.e., social movements, activists, media, civil society and non-governmental organizations), the debate on how companies learn from pressure and collaboration with these societal groups is still open. Building upon stakeholder and knowledge management theories, this paper analyzes how seconda...

Absorptive corrections to scattering and production in a family of explicitly unitary models is studied. We find that in a particular model in which quantum number constraints are ignored, all the results concerning absorptive corrections found in the Reggeon calculus model of Abramovskii, Kancheli, and Gribov are reproduced. In extended models, however, the effects due to quantum numbers and/o...

An organization’s absorptive capacity is important for facilitating innovation that can lead to organizational performance. I examine the effects of absorptive capacity on open source software development group performance. Specifically, in addition to the commonly noted importance of OSS developers, the role of the Internet-based user community is introduced as fundamental in developing absorp...

The intestine of adult indigenous goat of Assam (Capra hircus) was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for elucidating the morphology of intestinal mucosa as well as the morphology of gutassociated lymphoid tissue including Peyer’s patches (PP) and solitary lymphoid nodule. SEM of intestines revealed the presence of villi in the small intestinal mucosa. Goblet cells were noticed as wh...

The absorptive and radiative losses are two fundamental aspects of the electromagnetic responses, which are widely occurring in many different systems such as waveguides, solar cells, and antennas. Here we proposed a metasurface to realize the control of the absorptive and radiative loss and to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) in multi-frequency bands. The anti-phase gradient and absorptive...

Previous research has shown that the knowledge that is available to an organization is an important factor influencing the adoption of open source software (OSS). Hence, it is important that organizations develop their absorptive capacity in order to successfully adopt OSS. Absorptive capacity refers to the ability of an organization to acquire, assimilate, and exploit new knowledge. However, n...

The previous papers have dealt with fine structure of ciliated cells and columnar absorptive cells of the gut epithelium in the larvae of salmonids and their relatives1-3). However, the exact nature of the columnar absorptive cells in teleost larvae is still far from being satisfactorily understood. It seems better to approach to the problem by taking extensive data from various kinds of larvae...

The important relationship between knowledge and innovation is well established in the literature. However, little is known about how new ventures’ acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation of knowledge (i.e., their absorptive capacity) affects innovation. We examine the role of the individual components of absorptive capacity on innovation on a sample of new firms in the Swed...
