Fault detection and isolation (FDI) logic plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety and reliability, and reducing the operating cost of aircraft propulsion systems. However, it is a challenging problem achieving the FDI task with high reliability. For this purpose, various approaches have been proposed in the literature. In an on-line engine fault diagnoses, two tasks may use Kalman filter t...

This paper discusses the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on market entry and welfare in a model of two countries and two periods. In the first period, firms enter the market as national firms, in the second period, FDI is possible. The paper demonstrates that FDI reduces market entry because equilibrium profits in the second period decline with a decrease in the fixed cost of FDI. The...

This paper presents a Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) system that can detect and isolate nuclear power plant (NPP) faults occurring in interacting systems. The proposed methodology combines two tools: observer based residual generation and neural network pattern matching into a powerful, hybrid diagnostic system. A computer-based model of a commercial Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) is used as ...

This paper examines the evolution of the literature on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and growth in host countries, particularly developing countries. It provides a broad overview, with a focus on two elements that have recently become particularly important, (1) the role of complementary local conditions conducive to reaping the benefits of FDI (which relate to when F...

With the increasingly serious situation of population aging in China, impact cannot be ignored. This study analyzes effect on attraction FDI inflows China through construction an empirical model. The results show that there is a significant “inverted-U” relationship between and inflows, negatively affects foreign investment after crossing inflection point. Based findings, this proposes policy r...

This short paper explores the complementarity between foreign aid and foreign direct investment (FDI). Recent studies on aid concluded that aid should come to an end or be reduced with a radical modification of the terms and conditions and FDI and trade should replace aid as the engine of development. In this paper, we argue that aid complements FDI and advances the efficacy of FDI in promoting...

In the present study we have used data from 276 family-owned Taiwanese manufacturing firms that invest in China in order to examine the effect of firm resources in Taiwanese firms on FDI performance in China. Hypotheses were developed and it was found that firm-specific advantages like firm size, R&D intensity, international experience, and managerial capabilities had a positive influence on bo...

This research study is related to FDI and GDP and the main aim of this research study is to validate the relationship between them. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is considered as a growth accelerating component that has received a great attention in developed countries even in developing and less developed countries during recent years. Now FDI has greater importance in closed economy. FDI be...
