Composite materials, typically consisting of two or more dissimilar materials adhered together in layers, are frequently used for energy absorption applications. The interface and material characteristics strongly influence the global absorptive capability composite. This research focuses on ceramic-polymer interfaces and, particular, links between properties composite, separate materials. Afte...

Mammalian colonic epithelia consist of cells that are capable of both absorbing and secreting Cl-. The present studies employing Ussing chamber technique identified two opposing short-circuit current (Isc) responses to basolateral bumetanide in rat distal colon. Apart from the transepithelial Cl--secretory Isc in early distal colon that was inhibited by bumetanide, bumetanide also stimulated Is...

This research is based on the perception that explanation of International New Ventures' (INVs) performance demands a process view, going deeper than standard approach, in empirical papers, testing direct relationship between company-level antecedents and performance. A three-tier model was developed to investigate leading INVs international performance, emphasizing role entrepreneurial alertne...

MANY POSTZYGOTIC REPRODUCTIVE BARRIER FORMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN PLANTS: hybrid weakness, hybrid necrosis, and hybrid chlorosis. In this study, linkage analysis of the genes causing hybrid chlorosis in F(2) generation in rice, HCA1 and HCA2, was performed. HCA1 and HCA2 are located respectively on the distal regions of the short arms of chromosomes 12 and 11. These regions are known to be high...

BACKGROUND While past research has recognized the importance of the dynamic nature of absorptive capacity, there is limited knowledge on how to generate a fair and comprehensive analytical framework. Based on interviews with 24 Chinese firms, this study develops a system-dynamics model that incorporates an important feedback loop among absorptive capacity, technological innovation, and product ...

Based on an in-depth case study, this article studies a collaborative IT project (one IT service vendor and three clients) involving intensive knowledge integration activity. It explains how social capital (e.g. relational, cognitive, structural), absorptive capacity (e.g. exploratory, exploitative, transformative) interact with each other with the support of organizational culture (e.g. collec...

In the industrial revolution 4.0, firms and SMEs are required to have dynamic capabilities respond environmental changes increasing competitive pressures. Reconfiguring ICT knowledge resources is a must for in order achieve performance advantages. This study aimed bridge research gap between with absorptive capacity as an intervening variable. Moreover, this also examined effect of on performan...

Abstract Cutting-edge technologies like big data analytics (BDA), artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, blockchain, and digital twins have a profound impact on the sustainability of production system. In addition, it is argued that turbulence in technology could negatively adoption these adversely system firm. The present study has demonstrated role technological as moderator relatio...

The adoption of green innovation is urgent for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food processing industry to reduce pollution, because large number SMEs will contribute more environmental waste. Nevertheless, face additional obstacles adopting compared with enterprises. This study aims develop a model overcome abovementioned problem assess effect on performance. consists two com...

We tested whether apoprotein B is present in fasting and postprandial human duodenojejunal mucosa because lipoprotein-like particles are visualized by electron microscopy within the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi cisternae of these absorptive cells. Duodenojejunal biopsies from normal volunteers were incubated in citrate buffer and were shaken in 1% EDTA so that absorptive cells cou...
