Abstract F DI can create employment and reduce poverty, increase the host country’s export capacity causing the developing country to increase its foreign exchange earnings. The aim of this study is to investigate whether FDI affect economic growth in GCC countries over the period 1980-2014 using ARDL approaches. The empirical results show that the FDI is one of the major drivers of e...

CHIEMI HAYASHI, World Economic Forum The World Economic Forum has developed three scenarios for the future of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to 2025.1 From the underlying models of economic, social, and political development used to create the scenarios, it is possible to derive forces that will shape the economic environment of the GCC and assess their implications for the compet...

Ethylene-responsive element-binding proteins (EREBPs)have novel DNA-binding domains (ERF domains), which are widely conserved in plants, and interact specifically with sequences containing AGCCGCC motifs (GCC box). Deletion experiments show that some flanking region at the N terminus of the conserved 59-amino acid ERF domain is required for stable binding to the GCC box. Three ERF domain-contai...

The growth of cloud computing has led to uneconomical energy consumption in data processing, storage, and communications. This is unfriendly to the environment, because of the carbon emissions. Therefore, green IT is required to save the environment. The green cloud computing (GCC) approach is part of green IT; it aims to reduce the carbon footprint of datacenters by reducing their energy consu...

This paper analyzes and presents the solar energy research status in the GCC countries using Scopus-database. Its findings may be valuable for researchers, politicians, industry, or decision makers to see how much the participation of the GCC countries in the field of solar energy and how it compares to other countries. The data gathered from Scopus database aided in outlining and identifying t...

Since 1998, StackGuard patches to GCC have been used to protect entire distributions from stack smashing buffer overflows. Performance overhead and software compatibility issues have been minimal. In its history, the parts of GCC that StackGuard has operated in have twice changed enough to require complete overhauls of the StackGuard patch. Since StackGuard is a mature technology, even seeing r...
