An important development of the One Belt Road Initiative (OBOR) is to promote qualitative improvements in trade and regulation among participating countries. This paper provides an analysis bilateral between China Kazakhstan, covering a period time from 2002 2017 divided into major categories. The main purpose this work review relations Kazakhstan determine at initial stage OBOR project. To sol...

Purpose The evolution of modern digitalization technologies necessitates the development a competitive digital supply chain quality management (SCQM) strategy by manufacturers. Using new institutions and institutional theory (IIT), study research first aims to identify most important SCQM practices that can influence performance (CP). Second, authors intend investigate role alignment (DSA) in m...

This paper attempts a socio-economic analysis of elite institutions in India and uses employment options exercised by fresh graduates as a key indicator. We point to its implications to national objectives and development outcomes. We use IIT Bombay as a representative institution and analyse the employment data for the year 2013. Our analysis shows that most graduates of IIT Bombay do not choo...

It has been proposed that with the appropriate models, instrumented indentation test (IIT) data can be reduced to yield the uniaxial stress–strain behavior of the test material. However, very little work has been done to directly compare the results from uniaxial tension and spherical indentation experiments. In this work, indentation and uniaxial tension experiments have been performed on the ...

− The method called instrumented indentation test (IIT) emerged as a technique capable to characterise several materials in nanoscale, like nanostructural material, thin film, ceramic material, etc., independently of hardness. The acceptation of this new technique requires, of course, reliable test results where, one of the way to obtain this confidence is to knowing the sources of the testing ...

Identity implications theory (IIT) is applied to analyze how young adults manage identity concerns associated with the goals of initiating, intensifying, and disengaging from romantic relationships. Participants wrote their responses to one of six hypothetical romantic (re)definition scenarios, indicated whether they actually would pursue the relational goal if their scenario were real, and rat...

INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE AS AN INDICATOR OF LABOR MARKET ADJUSTMENT A growing body of recent empirical research uses measures of change in intra-industry trade as indicators of labor market adjustment. In this paper, we argue that the theoretical foundations for this work are problematic. To make this argument we develop a simple model with both interand intra-industry trade and adjustment. We defi...

An outstanding challenge with the Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness (IIT) is to find a way of rapidly and accurately calculating integrated information from neural data. A number of measures of integrated information based on time series data have been proposed, but most measures require finding the “Minimum Information Partition” of a network, which is computationally expensive an...
