This paper examines convergence of real GDP per capita in the selected East Asian countries and this relationship with selected Middle East countries during the period 1950-2009. The reason behind this refers to the fact that East Asia countries (including China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and South Korea) have been involved in achieving success arising from regi...

Knowledge and innovation have become a significant source of modern regional development. The paper aims to study the spatial association model innovation, besides critiquing policy, using knowledge production function approach. At level Egyptian governorates, number patent applications has been used as proxy for innovation. uses cross-sectional data patents in 2018 with lagged time variables i...

Regional knowledge capital has become one of the key factors of economic development of a nation and region, and enhanced the regional competitiveness greatly. In this paper, firstly, the connotation of the regional knowledge capital is introduced, and then the synergy model of the system between knowledge capital and regional economic growth is constructed. Secondly, the synergy of the model i...

The paper studies regional (spatial) inequality in the five most populous countries in the world: China, India, the United States of America, Indonesia and Brazil in the period 1980–2000. They are all federations or quasi-federations composed of entities with substantial economic autonomy. Two types of regional inequalities are considered: Concept 1 inequality, which is inequality between mean ...

is precompact in the C1,α topology. Here R denotes the Riemann curvature tensor, vol the volume and diam the diameter of (M,g). Thus, for any sequence of metrics gi on n-manifolds Mi satisfying (1.1), there is a subsequence, also called gi, and diffeomorphisms φi : M∞ → Mi such that the metrics φi gi converge in the C 1,α topology to a limit metric g∞ onM∞, for any α < 1. In particular, there a...

Abstract: Consider a sequence of polynomials of bounded degree evaluated in independent Gaussian, Gamma or Beta random variables. We show that, if this sequence converges in law to a nonconstant distribution, then (i) the limit distribution is necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure and (ii) the convergence automatically takes place in the total variation topology...

GP studied preferences over menus (sets) of alternatives. This implicitly means that the decision maker chooses a menu and then selects an alternative from the menu. Consider a compact metric space Z of prizes. Let ∆ be the set of all Borel probability measures over Z. An element in ∆ represents an alternative for (implicit) choice. Assume that ∆ is endowed with the topology of weak convergence...

So far, knowledge convergence has been a widely neglected aspect of collaborative knowledge construction. Collaborative learners contribute their individual knowledge resources, discuss the contributions of their learning partners, and eventually synthesize their individual perspectives. In collaborative knowledge construction groups of learners may be characterized by convergence or divergence...

The protein universe corresponds to the set of all proteins found in all organisms. A way to explore it is by taking into account the domain content of the proteins. However, some part of sequences and many entire sequences remain un-annotated despite a converging number of domain families. The un-annotated part of the protein universe is referred to as the dark proteome and remains poorly char...
