The industrial cluster of the Information communication technology (ICT) industry gradually shapes science parks around the world. Some studies have pointed out that science parks integrate the functions of both the industrial park and the incubator center. Science parks can shorten the learning curve and increase production efficiency using the cluster network. Science parks can also improve t...

firms invest in their learning activities to improve their innovative efforts. these kinds of activities are either internal or external. knowledge which flows among local actors is one of the external learning factors. spontaneous knowledge flows among firms without any compensation or with compensation less than the real value is called knowledge spillover. this paper analyzes the effect of k...

Despite a wealth of research on university incubators, science parks, and other attempts at commercialization, there is little consensus on the effectiveness of university-sponsored commercial innovation. We analyze the impact of incubators and other types of facilitators on the quality of innovations produced by US research-intensive academic institutions from 1969 to 2012. Using forward paten...

Using High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission lines to connect offshore wind parks to the onshore power grid has been proven technically advantageous to AC solutions and more cost-effective for relatively long transmission distances (>70km).The concept of applying DC technology can be expanded to the collection grid. DC collection grid offshore wind parks can be developed only if severa...
