foreign direct investment has been a key topic in development literature for a long time. many economists have written articles on the on recipient’s macroeconomic variables, transfer of capital and technology. the improvement of managerial and human resources, promotion of foreign trade with its emphasized role on economic growth of recipients. other economists have an opposite view. they have...

Direct manipulation is the key concept of interaction with systems that use graphics to communicate with the user. The latest generation of such systems supports also interaction with other modalities, i.e., text and figure captions. However, the effects of interaction within one modality must be reflected in the other modalities in order to keep the presentation consistent. Although some appro...

We studied two types of nanopillar spin-valves: one using an in-plane magnetized polarizer layer and one using a perpendicular polarizer. Both types of devices contain a magnetic vortex in the second magnetic layer. Under direct current (DC) bias, the devices with in-plane polarizer exhibit persistent microwave oscillations that are characterized by two oscillation peaks and long timescale, dis...

We study the outflow of dust particles on the surface layers of optically thick disks. At the surface of disks around young stars, small dust particles (size . 10 μm) experience stellar radiation pressure support and orbit more slowly than the surrounding gas. The resulting tailwind imparts energy and angular momentum to the dust particles, moving them outward. This outflow occurs in the thin s...

Gyrokinetic Vlasov simulations of the ion temperature gradient turbulence demonstrate reduction of the turbulent transport with enhanced zonal-flow generation in the neoclassically optimized helical configuration as predicted by the theoretical analysis of the zonal-flow response. The inward-shifted plasma of the Large Helical Device, thus, has better confinement than that with the standard mag...

Based on a dynamic open-economy macroeconomic model, this paper aims at understanding the contribution of domestic financial under-development to foreign reserve accumulation in some emerging market economies, especially in China. It is argued that foreign reserve accumulation is a consequence of a growth strategy induced by strong capital investment in a financially constrained economy. It is ...

Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, this paper highlights the importance of taking into account the role of non-domestic elements in an innovation system, which is traditionally studied by using the nation-state as the unit of analysis. Learning and knowledge accumulation is often assisted by inward and outward FDI, although this is sometimes overlooked in the study of innovation systems. Mul...

We present high-accuracy rotation curves, which show a steep nuclear rise and high-velocity central rotation, followed by a broad maximum in the disk and flat part. We use the rotation curves to directly calculate the radial distribution of surface mass density, and obtain radial variations of the mass-to-luminosity ratio (M/L). The M/L ratio and, therefore, the dark mass fraction (DMF) is not ...

We obtain a generalization of the Low theorem for non-Abelian boson emission in collision of scalar and gauge vector particles and its extension to high energy collisions for small transverse momenta of produced particles. We demonstrate that in the case of particles with spin the direct extension the Low formula to high energy is in contradiction with the correct amplitude factorization behavi...
