Institutional involvement has been determinant in the diffusion of technological innovations, however little attention has been given to institutional intervention in the adoption and diffusion of e-commerce in SMEs. This study investigates the role of government in the adoption and diffusion of e-commerce in small and medium size enterprises. King et al. (1994) framework of institutional facto...

Knowledge of water diffusion characteristics within the human spinal cord may provide important information about the structural nature of spinal cord pathology. However, the sensitivity of diffusion imaging methods to motion and the requirement for high in-plane resolution has hitherto restricted study of spinal cord diffusion to excised samples. The first diffusion images of the human cervica...

The aim of this paper is, on the one hand, to give a review of several streams in the literature which differ with respect to the extent they assume knowledge to spread over regions. On the other hand, this paper shows the extent to which these theories are supported empirically. The regional neoclassical growth model focuses on the immediate diffusion of technological knowledge. Alternative th...

Introduction: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and the calculated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is showing potential for improving detection of prostate cancer (PCa), as the increased cellularity of many tumors is associated with restricted water diffusion and thus with a decreased ADC [1,2]. The ADC assumes Gaussian water diffusion and is calculated by monoexponential fitting. However, ...
