The term “New Infrastructure” has been highlighted in China’s recent policies. It refers to a set of new, and expanding, policies the discourse surrounding them which support development facilities, equipment, systems derived from latest technologies, including 5G Internet Things, AI, cloud computing, data centers. This article reviews New Infrastructure policies, analyzing their specific discu...

The intention of our research is to present a solution for the distribution of a portfolio of telecommunication services, such as high speed Internet access, local and long distance telephony, cable TV, and aggregated services, over the Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) infrastructure of a cable operator. For this purpose we have divided the logical network’s infrastructure in two well-defined areas. Fir...

Relations between the US and China have deteriorated to their lowest point since rapprochement in 1970s. To make sense of contemporary geopolitics, our objective this article is two-fold. First, we historically situate US-China rivalry conceptualise Second Cold War (SCW). We argue that wake 2008 financial crisis, both launched ‘restorative’ political projects harked back imagined pasts. These a...

In August 2003, a communitywide outbreak of cryptosporidiosis occurred in Kansas. We conducted a case-control study to assess risk factors associated with Cryptosporidium infection by using the telephone survey infrastructure of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Using existing state-based infrastructure provides an innovative means for investigating acute outbreaks.

Social networks have become the main infrastructure of today’s daily activities of people during the last decade. In these networks, users interact with each other, share their interests on resources and present their opinions about these resources or spread their information. Since each user has a limited knowledge of other users and most of them are anonymous, the trust factor plays an import...

From the chemical bond viewpoint, the second order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses of some typical borate crystals with various crystal structures have been quantitatively studied. The correlations between structural characteristics and second order NLO properties of selected borate crystals are discussed. Calculations show that the isolated BO3 infrastructure is advantageous for borate cryst...

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the effect of infrastructure on industry-level productivity and international specialization, as suggested by Clarida and Findlay’s (1992) model. Attempting to control for simultaneity with a three-stage least squares estimation strategy, we find that public infrastructure helps to explain patterns of comparative advantage and international specializ...
