This study examines the challenging area of R&D performance analysis. Our purpose is to increase the understanding of the essential factors and dimensions related to R&D performance analysis, and to introduce and facilitate a process of choosing applicable metrics of R&D performance for a specific need, context and situation. The research results show the linkages of the measurement dimensions ...

In this work we introduce one dimensional multi-component Hubbard model of 1/r hopping and U on-site energy. The wavefunctions, the spectrum and the thermodynamics are studied for this model in the strong interaction limit U = ∞. In this limit, the system is a special example of SU(N) Luttinger liquids, exhibiting spincharge separation in the full Hilbert space. Speculations on the physical pro...

closed kinematic chains and 1 2 ) as a force constrainad mechanical system working on the samo object simultaneously. based on a feedback linearization and simultaneous output docoupling technique. Applying a nonli ear faodback and a nonlinear coordinate transformation, the complicated model of the multiple robot arms in either formulation is converted into a linear and output decoupled system....

UNLABELLED Although the R platform and the add-on packages of the Bioconductor project are widely used in bioinformatics, the standard task of multiple sequence alignment has been neglected so far. The msa package, for the first time, provides a unified R interface to the popular multiple sequence alignment algorithms ClustalW, ClustalOmega and MUSCLE. The package requires no additional softwar...

PURPOSE The design and development of synthetic small molecules to disrupt microtubule dynamics is an attractive therapeutic strategy for anticancer drug discovery research. Loss of clinical efficacy of many useful drugs due to drug resistance in tumor cells seems to be a major hurdle in this endeavor. Thus, a search for new chemical entities that bind tubulin, but neither are a substrate of ef...

We construct new class of entire solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation ∆u+(1−u2)u = 0, in R2(∼ C). Given k ≥ 1, we find a family of solutions whose zero level sets are, away from a compact set, asymptotic to 2k straight lines (which we call the ”ends”). These solutions have the property that there exists θ0 < θ1 < . . . < θ2k = θ0 + 2π such that limr→+∞ u(re iθ) = (−1)j uniformly in θ on compact...

In this paper, we will investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the general inhomogeneous elliptic problem   − u+ u = f (x, u) + μh (x) , x ∈ R , u ∈ H (RN) , (1.1)μ where h ∈ H−1 (RN), N ≥ 2, |f (x, u)| ≤ C1up−1 + C2u with C1 > 0, C2 ∈ [0, 1) being some constants and 2 < p < +∞. ∗Research supported in part by the Natural Science Foundation of China and NSEC †Research supported ...

The use of multiple evapotranspiration (ET) models is critical for exploring the ambiguity in the representations of ET processes. Although ensemble ET models are increasingly used to address this ambiguity, practical issues include: 1) the diversity of process representations, which require different input data and constants; 2) the diversity of nomenclature, terminology and units used in the ...

In this paper we present a new R package called sgof for multiple hypothesis testing. The principal aim of this package is to implement SGoF-type multiple testing methods, known to be more powerful than the classical false discovery rate (FDR) and family-wise error rate (FWER) based methods in certain situations, particularly when the number of tests is large. This package includes Binomial and...
