The new idea of this research is application of a new fault detection and isolation (FDI) technique for supervision of sensor networks in transportation system. In measurement systems, it is necessary to detect all types of faults and failures, based on predefined algorithm. Last improvements in artificial neural network studies (ANN) led to using them for some FDI purposes. In this paper, appl...

â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â  â  abstract â  the effect of technology spillovers is widely considered as one of the main channels through which domestic firms benefit from fdi, and plays an important role in economic development of host countries. based on the analysis framework for technology spillovers established by borensztein et al. (1998), this paper will analyse and try to figure out th...

This paper considers the robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for uncertain linear timeinvariant (LTI) systems. An FDI filter minimizes the sensitivity of the residual signal to disturbances and modeling errors subject to the constraint that the transfer matrix function from the faults to the residual is close to a diagonal matrix (for fault isolation). A solution of the optimizat...

In this paper, a bond graph model based approach for robust FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) in presence of parameter uncertainties is presented. Due to the energetic and multi physical properties of the Bond Graph, the whole of nonlinear model, structural analysis, residual with adaptive thresholds generations, and residual sensitivity analysis, can be synthesized using only one tool. This ...

Financial crises in countries are often accompanied by an out‡ow of foreign portfolio investment and an in‡ow of foreign direct investment (FDI). We provide an agency-theoretic framework that explains this phenomenon. During crises, agency problems a¤ecting domestic …rms are exacerbated, and, in turn, external …nancing constrained. Direct ownership can circumvent these problems, but during cris...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Foreign direct investment Total factor productivity Technological progress Panel data analysis Vietnam By making use of a recently released dataset that covers a large number of manufacturing firms over the period 2000–2005, this paper examines the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and FDI generated spillovers on total factor productivity (TFP) in eight r...

Prior research has not effectively investigated how the profitability of Chinese branches affect FDIs in China [1, 2], so this study for the first time incorporates realistic earnings information to systematically investigate effects of innovation, imitation, and profit factors of FDI diffusions from Taiwan to China. Our nonlinear least square (NLS) model, which incorporates earnings factors, f...

In this paper, a distributed fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for formation flight of satellites is developed. In our proposed approach each satellite attempts to detect actuator faults of its neighboring agents in addition to its own faults. The main challenges are on integrating and fusing the FDI information generated by all agents in order to reduce and minimize the effects of fal...

As more Chinese companies become engaged in foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in industrial countries, a crucially important issue must be addressed: what is the motivation of Chinese outward FDI, and what is its rationale? Based on a detailed analysis of both primary and secondary data sources, this article argues that when investing in advanced economies, Chinese multinational cor...
