Since the going-global approach of Chinese enterprises has accelerated, host country’s foreign direct investments (FDI) restrictiveness index dramatically influenced upgrading China’s trade structure. This study investigates relationship between FDI and export sophistication home country. Using two-way fixed-impact models firm-based microcosmic data, it verifies impacts reverse technology spill...

This paper focuses on the spatial-spectral terahertz (THz) networks, where transmitters equipped with leaky-wave antennas send information to their receivers at THz frequency bands. As a directional and nearly planar antenna, antenna allows for transmissions narrow beams high gains. The conventional large arrays are confronted challenging issues such as scaling limits path discovery in frequenc...

In this paper, a novel method using Bees Algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of FACTS devices for maximizing the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of power transactions between source and sink areas in the deregulated power system. The algorithm simultaneously searches the FACTS location, FACTS parameters and FACTS types. Two types of FACTS are simulated in this study na...

Ahtmct-In this paper we investigate the performance of Routing and Rate Allocation (RRA) algorithms in ratebased multi-class networks, in particular, a network of routers that support the IntServ Guaranteed Services. We measure the performance of an RRA algorithm in terms of its weighted carried traffle. We derive an upper bound on the weighted carried t r d e of any RRA algorithm. The bound ca...

In this paper, we consider whether there is a clear moral justification for the proposal that societal value preferences (SVPs) should be included in Cost Effectiveness Analyses (CEA) of health care resource allocations. We argue, first, that proponents of the use of SVPs need to be clear about the relationship between these values and moral principles. In particular, once moral principles are ...

Allocation of construction risks between clients and their contractors has a significant impact on the total construction costs. This paper presents a system dynamics (SD)-based approach for quantitative risk allocation. Using the proposed SD based approach, all the factors affecting the risk allocation process are modeled. The contractor’s defensive strategies against the one-sided risk alloca...

we prove that the class of profinite groups $g$ that have a factorization $g=ab$ with $a$ and $b$ abelian closed subgroups, is closed under taking strict projective limits. this is a generalization of a recent result by k.h.~hofmann and f.g.~russo. as an application we reprove their generalization of iwasawa's structure theorem for quasihamiltonian pro-$p$ groups.

It is believed that hippocampus functions as a memory allocator in brain, the mechanism of which remains unrevealed. In Valiant’s neuroidal model [19], the hippocampus was described as a randomly connected graph, the computation on which maps input to a set of activated neuroids with stable size. Valiant proposed three requirements for the hippocampal circuit to become a stable memory allocator...

Large institutional investors allocate their funds over a number of classes (e.g. equity, fixed income and real estate), various geographical regions and different industries. In practice, these allocation decisions are usually made in a hierarchical (top-down), consecutive way. At the higher decision level, the allocation is made on basis of benchmark portfolios (indexes). Such indexes are the...
