The influence of post deposition annealing (PDA) up to temperatures of TPDA=900°C on the morphology and agglomeration behavior of ambient temperature sputter deposited platinum onto anodic aluminum oxide templates is investigated. Both cluster agglomeration and diffusion processes occur on the surface and on the inner channel walls. When the annealing temperature is less than 400°C, particles a...

We examine the impacts of agglomeration economies on the location of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Vietnam. Using a large dataset that provides detailed information about individual firms, we investigate the location choices by 920 newly created foreign firms in 2009 in about 125 different 4-digit industries. The estimates of the conditional logit model show that agglomeration benefits mot...

An important element of the cost of distance is time taken in delivering final and intermediate goods. We argue that time costs are qualitatively different from direct monetary costs such as freight charges. The difference arises because of uncertainty. Unsynchronised deliveries can disrupt production, and delivery time can force producers to order components before demand and cost uncertaintie...

Each user accesses a Web site with certain interests. The interest can be manifested by the sequence of each Web user access. The access paths of all Web users can be clustered. The effectiveness and efficiency are two problems in clustering algorithms. This paper provides a clustering algorithm for personalized Web recommendation. It is path clustering based on competitive agglomeration (PCCA)...

This paper examines the relationship between input-output linkages and industry agglomeration by combining the strength of spatial econometrics and the input-output model. This paper uses the location quotient as a measure of industrial agglomeration and regresses it on the intermediate demand variable, which is an important variable in the integrated econometric and input-output models. The na...

Abstract— High economic growth is not always followed by equitable development in a region. This study aims to see the effect of growth, investment, and agglomeration on regional inequality West Java Province. Timeseries data regression analysis Province period 2004–2018 estimate investment inequality. The results obtained are that has significant positive inequality, amd but significant, while...

The spillover effect of technological innovation has a huge role in promoting the development regional economy. In process economic development, financial agglomeration is becoming increasingly common. Based on back-propagation neural network, this paper analyzed spatial driven by digital finance. This proposed use Matlab for training analysis networks. Results show that previous warning result...

Surface area-normalized rate constants (k(SA)) of reaction between metallic nanoparticles and reducible contaminants, such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and nitrate, have been reported to be dramatically increased as compared to that of commercial metallic powder. However, k(SA) for individual pollutants in previously published data vary by as much as 1-2 orders of magnitude and mu...
