Ribose-binding protein (RBP) is exported to the periplasm of Escherichia coli via the general export pathway. An rbsB-lacZ gene fusion was constructed and used to select mutants defective in RBP export. The spontaneous Lac+ mutants isolated in this selection contained either single-amino-acid substitutions or a deletion of the RBP signal sequence. Intact rbsB genes containing eight different po...

This study examines the impact of the Internet, firm-specific characteristics, market characteristics, and export marketing strategy on export marketing performance. The unit of analysis was an individual product/market export venture. Data were gathered via a self-administered mail survey of 315 Australian firms involved in exporting. The findings indicate that when the Internet was used for c...

The estimation resulted through the combination of ECM and WLS shows that the price of export goods/merchandises has a positive effect and is significant in the short-term period. Yet, over the longterm period, the increase in export commodity price causes the decrease in export volumes. Meanwhile, the relationship between export volume and inflation is not significant, either in the short-term...

This paper examines the horizontal and vertical export spillovers of foreign direct investment (FDI) on China’s manufacturing domestic firms by using firm-level census data over the period of 2000–03. Based on a Heckman two-step procedure combining first differencing and instrumental variable regression techniques, we find that FDI has had a positive impact on the export value of domestic firms...

In this paper we investigated the hypothesis of export spillovers from foreign multinationals to domestic firms using a data set of UK manufacturing firms from 1992 to 1999. Unlike previous studies we allow not only for the possibility of horizontal (i.e. intraindustry) and regional externalities, but also for vertical ones (i.e. inter-industry: forward and backward). Deploying and Heckman sele...

This paper attempts to evaluate the determinants of export demand of textile and clothing sector of Pakistan. Moreover it estimates coefficients of the variables of the study. This study uses co-integration approach to check the long run relationship between export demand and its determinants. Results show that world income is the major determinant of export demand as it shows high coefficient ...

The assembly of spliceosomal U snRNPs in metazoans requires nuclear export of U snRNA precursors. Four factors, nuclear cap-binding complex (CBC), phosphorylated adaptor for RNA export (PHAX), the export receptor CRM1 and RanGTP, gather at the m(7)G-cap-proximal region and form the U snRNA export complex. Here we show that the multifunctional RNA-binding proteins p54nrb/NonO and PSF are U snRNA...

Internationalization is a matter of committed decision-making that starts with export marketing, in which an organization tries to diagnose and use opportunities in target markets based on realistic evaluation of internal strengths and weaknesses with analysis of macro and microenvironments in order to gain presence in other countries. A developed model for export and international marketing of...
