the main objective of this study is to investigate the production factors productivity in large manufacturing sub-sectors. for this purpose, using statistical data for period 1972-2004, we have tried to study and analyze the trend and level of production factors productivity (partial and total productivity) in each sub-sectors classified according to isic two digits code. the average and margin...

Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid scanning antenna architecture for applications in mmwave intelligent mobile sensing and communications. We experimentally demonstrate suitable Wband leaky-wave antenna prototypes in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. Three SIW antennas have been designed that within a 6.5% fractional bandwidth provide beam scanning over three adjacent angular...

This paper studies how firm performance is influenced by the strength of the industrial cluster (or industrial district) in which it is located. The paper presents estimates of firm-level growth models for a range of two-digit industries in the UK. In these models, employment in the firm’s own sector and employment in other sectors is taken as a measure the strength of the cluster. Strong posit...

Purpose – This paper considers the requirements for an industry sector approach to entrepreneurship education – The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Sector. We present a modified Process Framework for Entrepreneurship Education focusing specifically on ICT. The primary components of the Process Framework are described (inputs, process and content, assessment and outputs) to assis...

In this article, we show how you can use the MBASE process framework to generate a family of acquisition process models for delivering user-satisfactory systems under schedule, cost, and quality constraints. We present the six major steps of the Schedule/Cost/Schedule-Cost-Quality as Independent Variable (SAIV/CAIV/SCQAIV) process using SAIV and a representative Department of Defense (DoD) Comm...

Widespread and extensive use of computers and their interconnections in almost all sectors like communications, finance, transportation, military, governance, education, energy etc., they have become attractive targets for adversaries to spy, disrupt or steal information by presses of keystrokes from any part of the world. This paper presents a survey of major cyberattacks from 2001 to 2013 and...

This paper explores the concept of enterprise resiliency in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for development initiatives. ICT are necessary to improve access to vital services and to ultimately support efforts to improve economic conditions in developing regions. Access to information resources provides substantial benefits in the public and private sectors of regions with low ...
