Firms' early internationalisation (EI) is a complex process derived from uncertain market conditions, entrepreneurial vision, and strategic entry decisions. Academic debates still require deepening broadening the discussion on of new technology-based firms (NTBFs). This study proposes framework to analyse how NTBFs are adopting collaborative networks with triple helix actors (government, univer...

A focus on zoonotic urbanisation challenges existing conceptions of global urbanism. In this article I consider how a modified urban political ecology framework might help to illuminate emerging landscapes epidemiological risk. show multi-scalar perspective epidemiology, including the impact colonialism, capitalism, and changing relations with non-human others, unsettles analytical approaches. ...

In this paper we study the effects of reforms to corporate and personal income taxation on the rate of firm entry and exit using industry data for 19 OECD countries from 1998 to 2005. Using a difference-in-differences approach to correct for endogeneity bias we find that increases in corporate taxation affect entry but not exit. This drop in entry is statistically and economically significant, ...

As a generalization of the triple I method, the universal triple Imethod is investigated from the viewpoints of both fuzzy reasoningand fuzzy controller. The universal triple I principle is putforward, which improves the previous triple I principle. Then,unified form of universal triple I method is established based onthe (0,1)-implication or R-implication. Moreover, the reversibilityproperty o...

The heat transfer of a water spray impinging upon a surface in a very low pressure environment is of interest to cooling of space vehicles during launch and re-entry, and to industrial processes where flash evaporation occurs. At very low pressure, the process occurs near the triple point of water, and there exists a transient multiphase transport problem of ice, water and water vapor. At the i...

To optimize nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI) antiretroviral therapy, 137 subjects who had been treated with didanosine monotherapy for more than 3 years in the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) 175 study were randomized to zidovudine and didanosine (dual therapy) or zidovudine, didanosine, and lamivudine (triple therapy). Evaluation of early (8 week) change in HIV plasma RNA de...

What HIV research is in vogue at the moment? Triple-drug ‘combination’ therapy (see below) and HIV coreceptors. It was known 10 years ago that HIV needs CD4, a cell-surface receptor, to gain entry into cells, but it was also clear that CD4 is not enough: the virus needs a second cell-surface molecule before it can infect and kill a cell. Two years ago the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 were...
