We study port-Hamiltonian systems on a family of intervals and characterize all boundary conditions leading to m-accretive realizations the operator thus generators contractive semigroups. The proofs are based structural observation that can be transformed derivative familiy reference by suitable congruence relations, allowing for studying simpler case transport equation. Moreover, we provide w...

This paper explores the use of publications and patents their covariates among small, knowledge-based firms pursuing technology commercialization.
