This study explores the role of U.S. ethnic scientific and entrepreneurial communities for international technology transfer to their home countries. U.S. ethnic researchers are quantified through an ethnicname database and individual patent records. International patent citations confirm knowledge diffuses through ethnic networks, and manufacturing output in foreign countries increases with an...

This article provides new evidence on the determinants of individual trade-policy preferences using individual-level survey data for the United States. There are two main empirical results. First, we find that factor type dominates industry of employment in explaining support for trade barriers. Second, we find that home ownership also matters for individuals’ trade-policy preferences. Independ...

Participatory mapping is a method to geolocate city elements and places involving local people as data collectors. At present, adequate technology for participatory available, i.e., smartphones, GPS, the internet. Based on various literature, it an effective obtaining spatial information from individuals. Therefore, in this research, mobile technology-based was implemented identify home industr...

We propose a systematic method for creating constellations of unitary space–time signals for multiple-antenna communication links. Unitary space–time signals, which are orthonormal in time across the antennas, have been shown to be well-tailored to a Rayleigh fading channel where neither the transmitter nor the receiver knows the fading coefficients. The signals can achieve low probability of e...

Corporate research and development (R&D) activities have long been highly concentrated in a handful of world cities. This is due to the fact that these cities (e.g., Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris) are home to the largest and most powerful transnational corporations and are globally important sites for innovative start-up firms that operate in the fastest growing industries. However, in tan...

This study aims to determine the pattern of coconut sugar production and compare income business feasibility each pattern. Utilizing proportionate stratified random sampling, 90 respondents industrialists were gathered. There are three patterns home industry: (1) processing formed (60 industry), (2) brown (21 (3) into (9 industry). The average IDR 695,010 per month, 787,745 2,326,578 month. val...

This paper extends the three major facts of long run structural transformation — (i) sectoral reallocations, (ii) rich movements of productive activities between home and market, and (iii) an increase in the scale of productive units — and develops a model based on scale technologies to understand and explain them within a unified framework. The crucial distinction between industry, services, a...

The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of a hydrostatic weighing method using total lung capacity (measuring vital capacity with a respirometer at the time of weighing) the prone position, and a small oblong tank. The validity of the method was established by comparing the TLC prone (tank) method against three hydrostatic weighing methods administered in a pool....
