This article draws on an analysis of development of ‘technological capability’ in the Indonesian electronics industry. It presents a theory of industrial organisation. The theory is based on the recognition that economies develop gradually through the cumulative expansion of both production capacity and organisational/institutional structures. Through an empirical survey of the Indonesian elect...

This paper empirically investigates whether the contribution of human capital to productivity growth depends on the composition of human capital and proximity to the technology frontier in a panel of 87 sample countries over the period 1970–2004. It tests the hypothesis that primary and secondary education is more suitable for imitation whereas tertiary education is more appropriate for innovat...

String theoretic resolution of classical spacetime singularities is discussed. Particular emphasis is on the use of brane probes, and the connection [1] of the enhançon phenomenon [2] to the n=2∗ Pilch-Warner flow spacetime [3]. Some comments and details on the singularity of the PW spacetime are added. For the proceedings of Strings 2001, Mumbai, India.

In this paper we present a novel approach to graph (and structural) limits based on model theory and analysis. The role of Stone and Gelfand dualities is displayed prominently and leads to a general theory, which we believe is naturally emerging. This approach covers all the particular examples of structural convergence and it put the whole in new context. As an application, it leads to new int...

This paper shows how digitally-excluded senior citizens use information and communication technologies (ICT) for the construction of new literacies in the digital convergence culture. The concept of literacies is related to how ICT can be used to expand ways people express themselves through different communication channels. This study lasted three years and involved 16 adults aged between 60 t...

Understanding how the brain works requires a delicate balance between the appreciation of the importance of a multitude of biological details and the ability to see beyond those details to general principles. As technological innovations vastly increase the amount of data we collect, the importance of intuition into how to analyze and treat these data may, paradoxically, become more important.
