The variation of circular microstrip antenna, a Sectoral microstrip antenna is discussed. The detail analysis to study the effects of antenna parameters like, feed point location and the substrate thickness for Sectoral angle increasing from 270 to 340 on the patch first four resonant modes is presented. The variation in angle tunes the spacing between three patch resonant modes which yields op...

The purpose of this paper is to identify challenges to cross-sectoral collaboration based on principals in current organization theory regarding organizational boundaries. The boundarymaintenance function enables organizations to maintain sufficient stability and focus for goal attainment. Organizations periodically adjust their boundaries for tactical and strategic purposes, making participati...

We consider the contribution of sectoral shocks to post-war US unemployment movements in a dynamic factor framework. Whereas previously published estimates of the contribution of sectoral shocks to unemployment relate to a particular theory of unemployment, our approach is sufficiently general to encompass almost any theory. We estimate our model in the frequency domain and use data on unemploy...

Firm births and deaths are interrelated. Johnson and Parker (1994) have summarized the various causality relationships according to three different effects: (1) the Multiplier, (2) the Competition and (3) the Marshall effect. This article proposes an enlarged analytical framework by introducing the sectoral and cross-sectoral dimensions of firm demography. The expected interrelationships betwee...

A 64-year-old woman with a completely transected posterior sectoral duct following extended hepatectomy underwent a combined operative procedure with interventional radiology and surgery to restore biliary-enteric drainage. The anterior and posterior sectoral ducts were identified, and catheters were inserted into both systems. The posterior sectoral catheter was placed intraoperatively through...

Previous research shows that technical progress at the industry level, measured by sectoral TFP growth, is more localized in continental European countries than in Anglo-Saxon countries. We use EU KLEMS data sets to decompose sectoral TFP for nine European countries by means of a Malmquist approach, in order to separate technical change. Applying Harberger diagrams, we describe the sectoral pat...

Applying Johansen cointegration test to U.S. annual data constructed from the EU KLEMS database, the paper documents that the productivities of consumption-goods and equipmentgoods sector are cointegrated. It confirms further, using the non-linear cointegration test framework developed by Kapetanios et al. (2006), that the cointegrating relation is non-linear. The cointegration of sectoral prod...

In this thesis, cross-sectoral networks among government, industry and citizen sectors in two Japanese local sustainable development projects introduced bioenergy will be analyzed and discussed. The research and analysis focus on the contributions by local cross-sectoral networks in the projects. As a result of case studies, the local cross-sectoral networks showed their strengths in interpreta...

It has been shown that over a 20 year period of time the OECD countries have converged in terms of their aggregate technological effort, but this trend covers diverging patterns of sectoral innovative activities even for the countries at the forefront of the " convergence club " (Archibugi and Pianta 1994). This evidence supports the relevance of the National Systems of Innovation (NSI) perspec...

INTRODUCTION The Public Health Agency of Canada's Multi-sectoral Partnerships Initiative, administered by the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention (CCDP), brings together diverse partners to design, implement and advance innovative approaches for improving population health. This article describes the development and initial priorities of an action research project (a learning and improvement ...
