On-chip packet-switched networks have been proposed for future giga-scale integration in the nanometre regime. This paper examines likely architectures for such networks and considers trade-offs in the layout and wiring strategies based on full-swing CMOS signalling. A study is carried out for a future technology with parameters as predicted by the International Technology Roadmap for Semicondu...

Alliance raises many knowledge transfer and interfirm learning issues that have implications for how the alliance partners manage their cooperative learning activities in the alliance system. Many of these implications are grounded in the assumption that partners in the alliances have routines for transferring knowledge, learning, gaining management efficiencies. Thus organisations can support ...

results of an evaluation of the impact of agricultural science and technology (as and t) policy system institutions on efficiency and technical change in kenyan and ugandan agriculture are presented here. data envelopment analysis was used to derive efficiency and technical change and logistic regression applied to delineate as and t institutions that induced efficiency and technical progress. ...

In this paper, we provide an overview of the relationship between international migration and international trade as well as capital movements. After taking a brief historical perspective, we first investigate migration flows between two countries in a static, neoclassical context. We allow for a disaggregated view of migration that distinguishes between different types of labor and emphasizes ...

This paper analyzes the determinants of partial ownership of the foreign affiliates of U.S. multinational firms and, in particular, the marked decline in the use of joint ventures over the last 20 years. The evidence indicates that whole ownership is most common when firms coordinate integrated production activities across different locations, transfer technology, and benefit from worldwide tax...

technology transfer relationship between academic and productive sector possess a major concern in the modern societies. it is considered as a process by which knowledge and research result or technology for using, improving and/ or developing outputs, products and production processes are exchanged between the two sectors. although university- industry technology transfer is fundamental to the...

This study focuses on the relationship between trade and relative prices of pollution intensive goods. Seminal to this idea is the transfer problem. It is based on the idea that environmental quality of two countries that engage in trade could be affected and this could also have possible environmental quality transfer effects in a third country (geographic neighbors or trade partners) and a re...

According to traditional trade theories, foreign trade affects economic growth via several channels such as knowledge and technology spillover, improvement of resources allocation, increasing productivity and competitiveness. Within the framework of new trade theories, the effect of foreign trade on economic growth is ambiguous, and this effect depends on the combination of the different effect...

Although silicon technology has been the main driving force for miniaturizing device dimensions to improve cost and performance, the current application of Si to soft electronics (flexible and stretchable electronics) is limited due to material rigidity. As a result, various prospective materials have been proposed to overcome the rigidity of conventional Si technology. In particular, nano-carb...
