There have been an increasing number of international collaboration agreements among universities, college, etc., to promote educative exchange programs, internationalization of teaching, research, and curricula, among other things. This paper has the aim to analyze and to reflect on the experiential exercise from the point of views of instructor and students attending University Center of Econ...

We present an analytically solvable model of P colinear, two-dimensional quantum dots, each containing two electrons. Inter-dot coupling via the electron-electron interaction gives rise to sets of entangled ground states. These ground states have crystal-like inter-plane correlations and arise dis-continously with increasing magnetic field. Their ranges and stabilities are found to depend on do...

year, and 2-year olds show an increasing trend. All networks are small-world in nature. Fig. 1. Inter-region fiber count map, from left to right, of 2-week, 1-year, and 2-year olds. Red indicates a high value and blue otherwise. A general increase in the inter-region connection can be observed.

There has been an increasing interest in the use of inter-organisational groups to address regional implications in sustainable development. These groups bring together local knowledge and expertise and span boundaries between government and industry organisations. Our focus is in understanding how knowledge is shared in such inter-organisational groups. Utilising interviews, observations and s...

recently, a renewed interest arises in the application of nanotechnology for the upstream petroleum industry. in particular, adding nanoparticles to fluids may drastically benefit enhanced oil recovery and improve well drilling, by changing the properties of the fluid, rocks wettability alteration, advanced drag reduction, strengthening the sand consolidation, reducing the inter-facial tension and...

Offering telematics services toward the end-users involves inter-domain real-time service provisioning, it therefore can also involves inter-domain real-time service accounting. Recognizing the increasing complexity of accounting services due to dynamic service usage behavior of the end-users, the paper addresses a way to first, decompose end-to-end service into accountable service components a...

Inter-provincial market trading is putting up with to implement the national energy strategy, increasing clean consuming and optimization allocation in large-scale. To promote consumption, inter-province power transmission channel’ potential needs be full excavate deal fluctuation, improving frequency reduce transaction period. This article puts an space calculation method calculate available a...
