Natural gas has become more and more important in the world energy market with the change of energy consumption structure and consumption subjects. This paper applies the panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model to study the nonlinear relationship between natural gas consumption and economic variables of emerging economies, and the empirical results show that: (1) There is a non-linear r...

During the 25 years of existence of the first protocol for Quantum Key Distribution, much has been said and expected of what came to be termed as Quantum Cryptography. After all this time, much progress has been done but also the reality check and analysis that naturally comes with maturity is underway. A new panorama is emerging, and the way in which the challenges imposed by market requiremen...

ATL is a standard solution for model to model transformation. Its implementation is OpenSource and hosted by Eclipse. In 2008, development and maintenance were handed over from INRIA to OBEO, in the ATL Industrialization project context. This paper is about how industrial actors and researchers collaborate in a project like ATL, what ATL 3.1 brings to the user and what will be done in the future.

This paper assesses the relationship among energy consumption, financial development, economic growth, industrialization and urbanization in Tunisia from 1971-2008.

Integration between Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) will be essential for competitiveness and innovation in Europe in the coming years. In this context, the new European Commission’s initiative Horizon 2020, the biggest financial program for Research and Innovation aims to finance different Risk Management Projects going “from fundamental research to market innovation”. This involves the entir...

— Chinese enterprises have become extensively linked with the global economy, yet in a shallow manner. They remain stuck in commodity manufacturing, undifferentiated activities for which innovation is absent. Competition then revolves around cutthroat cost cutting. This outcome stems from three factors. First, it reflects the new challenges to development posed by globally networked production....
