These differences reflect the credit rate risk associated with the real estate markets in each of the regions, the fortunes of the regional economies, and the loan-tovalue ratios and ages of the mortgages.” Quigley an...

In this study, balanced and single ended class-E power amplifiers (PAs) were designed and realized for 3.5–3.8GHz band by using Gallium Nitride high electron mobility transistor (GaN HEMT). Realizations were made on low loss Rogers RT5880 dielectric material which has 0.254mm thickness and 2.2 dielectric constant. Proposed balanced class-E PA has approximately 20W (43 dBm) output power with 80%...

This paper aims to identify patterns of functional specialisation (FS) in global value chains (GVCs) and determinants upgrading them for selected Central Eastern European (CEE) economies. By combing the World Input-Output Database with data on occupations, we reveal a new FS pattern among subgroups CEEs. Poland Slovakia have an unfavourable GVC position specialise low value-added fabrication fu...

Group membership (being female), group identity (self female), and gender stereotypes (math male) were related to attitudes and identification with mathematics. Stronger implicit math male stereotypes corresponded with more negative implicit and explicit math a...
