An input-output analysis using IMPLAN was employed to quantify the incremental contributions of timber harvests to the regional economies of the South and Pacific Northwest United States. The primary objective was to compare the economic impacts of a one-million board foot (MMBF) change in harvest on the respective regional economies. Output, value added, personal income, and employment multipl...

Based on the set of an indicator system and the grey relational analysis model, the regional technology innovation ability of China is evaluated. It shows that the regional technology innovation ability of China is improving gradually; the level of technology input and the environment of technology innovation are promoting the development of the technology innovation ability of China, the level...

This report provides some economic background information on the size and recent growth of the Cairns/FNQ regional economy with special reference to the Recreation and Personal Services sector, incorporating tourism. This information provides background for an assessment of the regional economic impact of the Cairns casino, which may be undertaken using the input-output approach.

background recognizing the importance of having a broad exploration of how cultural perspectives may shape thinking about ethical considerations, the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) funded four regional meetings in africa, asia, latin america, and the eastern mediterranean to explore these perspectives relevant to pandemic influenza preparedness and response. the meetings were ...

Dimensional sentiment analysis aims to recognize continuous numerical values in multiple dimensions such as the valencearousal (VA) space. Compared to the categorical approach that focuses on sentiment classification such as binary classification (i.e., positive and negative), the dimensional approach can provide more fine-grained sentiment analysis. This study proposes a regional CNN-LSTM mode...

Production systems, traditionally analyzed as almost independent national systems, are increasingly connected on a global scale. Only recently becoming available, the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) is one of the first efforts to construct the global multi-regional input-output (GMRIO) tables. By viewing the world input-output system as an interdependent network where the nodes are the indiv...

BACKGROUND Regional myocardial blood flow has been quantified using transaxial positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging and tracer kinetic modeling. However, the use of transaxial images limits the accuracy of regional partial volume corrections and the localization of the quantified regional flow values. The purpose of the present study was to overcome both problems by calculating regional ...

As the role of economic development, science and technology got more and more get people's attention, the efficiency of R&D input also gradually becomes the focus of political and academic discussion. This paper expounds the principle of data envelopment method, and then builds an evaluation index system of the efficiency in R&D input and output of the research and development institutions (R&D...

This study was designed to find which one of the three different presentations, i.e. input, input-output, and output-input, will be more effective in Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary acquisitions. To this end, first 54 out of 64 female students, aged from 19 to 23 years, with an average of 21, were selected out of starter-level EFL learners at the University of Tarbiat Moalem in Bandar Abbas, I...
