As more and more industries experience the globalisation of business activities, measuring productivity performance has become an area of concern for companies and policy makers in Europe, the United States and Japan. This paper provides a non-technical synthesis of the productivity measurement methods used in a series of comparative industry studies. Such studies try to reach beyond standard a...

The continuous decline of petroleum and natural gas reserves and non linear rise of oil price has brought about a realisation of the need for a change in our perpetual dependence on the fossil fuel. A day to day increased consumption of crude and petroleum products has made a considerable impact on our foreign exchange reserves. Hence, an alternate resource for the conversion of energy (both li...

The Optical Character Recognition is the electronic conversion of image of typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is common method of digitizing printed texts. Advantages being easy storage, edit ability, searching, etc. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision. In previous decades it has gain more importance due to feasib...

Resveratrol (RV), a dietary antioxidant polyphenolic compound found in grapes and red wine, exerts a wide variety of pharmacological activities. However, lower content in plants compared with polydatin (PD, the glucoside of RV) limits its application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this paper, we carried out efficient biotransformation of PD to RV with 100% conversion yield by sna...

Bioethanol, synthesized through the valorization of biomass resources, is great importance to many industries. As bioethanol has become more abundant and its price decreased, it an attractive candidate for application as a base molecule synthesis variety petrochemicals fuel catalysis. In this article, comprehensive review catalytic conversion into hydrocarbons, including olefins gasoline, prese...

In markets that exhibit network effects, the presence of digital conversion technologies provides an alternative mechanism to achieve compatibility. This study examines the impact of conversion technologies on market equilibrium in the context of sequential duopoly competition and proprietary technology standards. We analyze this question by departing from the extant literature to endogenize th...
