This study explores the role of U.S. ethnic scientific and entrepreneurial communities for international technology transfer to their home countries. U.S. ethnic researchers are quantified through an ethnicname database and individual patent records. International patent citations confirm knowledge diffuses through ethnic networks, and manufacturing output in foreign countries increases with an...

University research centers can be beneficial to industrial firms by providing firms with a number of relationship alternatives that facilitate the advancement of knowledge and new technologies. This multi-method field study indicates that larger more mechanistic firms especially those in resource intense industrial sectors use knowledge transfer and research support relationships to build comp...

In the wave of globalization, as a way of the international transfer of capital, outsourcing is developing very rapidly. There are many researches on the economic effects of outsourcing, this article use the China's economic data during the economic development and build a regression model of the economic effect, and analysis the four effect of outsourcing on our country. The results show that ...

Feedback control of fluids is often achieved with limited state measurements. Effective approaches utilize compensators, which can be computed using linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) or MinMax control designs. However, to achieve real-time control algorithms, these compensators must have low computational complexity. Model reduction methods are a natural choice to build reduced-order compensators...

This paper explores an opportunity for technology transfer monitoring and control, based on the use of miniaturized, smart and innovative sensors able to follow the product and guarantee the quality during all stages of the agro-food sector. The information concerning to the state of the product is transferred in real time in a wireless way, according to the RFID technology. The aim is to impro...
