Economic integration between North and South Korea occurs through three modalities: traditional arm’s-length trade and investment, processing on commission (POC) trade, and operations within the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC). In order, these three modalities are characterized by decreasing exposure of South Korean fi rms to North Korean policy and infrastructure. Th rough a survey of 200 Sou...

Different subregions of nucleus accumbens (NAc) have been implicated in reward seeking, promoting flexible approach responses, suppressing nonrewarded actions, and facilitating shifts between different discrimination strategies. Interestingly, the NAc does not appear to mediate shifting between stimulus-reward associations (i.e., reversal learning) when reinforcement is predictable. How these n...

flexibility is one of the most important indicators of a supply chain .a flexible supply chain in the face of market changes and customer needs, must be responsive to the changes and needs, to be able to attract customers in the a competitive marketplace. being aware of the flexibility of a supply chain helps managers to solve problems and overcome deficiencies and increase the competitive adva...

A generalization of recent group-theoretic matrix multiplication algorithms to an analogue of the theory of partial matrix multiplication is presented. We demonstrate that the added flexibility of this approach can in some cases improve upper bounds on the exponent of matrix multiplication yielded by group-theoretic full matrix multiplication. The group theory behind our partial matrix multipli...

One of the major problems in computational drug design is incorporation of the intrinsic flexibility of protein binding sites. This is particularly crucial in ligand binding events, when induced fit can lead to protein structure rearrangements. As a consequence of the huge conformational space available to protein structures, receptor flexibility is rarely considered in ligand design procedures...
