To understand the impact of science and engineering innovations on economic growth requires relating discoveries to products, and identifying the scientists and engineers who are responsible for the knowledge transfer. Studies reliant on geographic proximity alone can show only that economic activity varies positively with the amount of research being done at a university. [David (1992), Nelson...

– The aim of this paper is the presentation of an approach of firms-territories relationships in terms of firms' nomadism and territorial anchorage of technological and industrial activities. Such an approach is founded on the necessity to overcome the “volatile” firm's level of analysis, in which firm's mobility is investigated from the sole point of view of the leaven location. On the contrar...

Star formation rate (SFR) distributions of galaxies are often assumed to be bimodal with modes corresponding to star-forming and quiescent galaxies, respectively. Both classes of galaxies are typically studied separately, and SFR distributions of star-forming galaxies are commonly modelled as lognormals. Using both observational data and results from numerical simulations, I argue that this div...

Abstract Introduction Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) often presents with intense pruritus and recurrent painful lesions, negatively impacting quality of life and, potentially, the ability to engage in sexual penetration. VLS treatment ranges from topical steroids systemic antipruritic agents. No studies have yet characterized how concurrent dysfunction impacts treatment. Objective The objective ...

The structural and magnetic properties of rare-earth nanocomposite magnets of a (Nd,Dy)(Fe,Co,Nb,B)5.5 single layer and a (Nd,Dy)(Fe,Co,Nb,B)5.5/α-Fe multilayer prepared by sputtering and heat treatment have been investigated. Incomplete exchange coupling behaviour is observed in the Ti-buffered NdDyFeCoNbB + 40 wt%Fe single layer magnet. After annealing, the laminated nanostructure consisting ...

Abstract Introduction Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) often presents with chronic pruritus. While VLS is associated feelings of isolation, risk mood disorders among females has yet to be quantified on a large scale. Objective Our objective was assess the association development depressive episode, anxiety disorder, major disorder (MDD), and prescription antidepressants benzodiazepines, evaluate i...

Abstract O ur basic aim in this paper concerns the question that if overusing the Information Technology by service and manufacturing firms can increase the total productivity resulting from this kind of technology regarding the Iran's economic structure and conditions. For this purpose, we primarily evaluate the productivity resulting from the rate of firms' use of IT for...
