The paper investigated the effect of investment promotion (IP) on foreign direct investment flow (FDI) into Ghana. Cointegration among the variables was established using auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) models in the presence of a mix of I (0) and I (1) variables. The control variables, inflation and trade openness were statistically significant in the short run. Whilst inflation exerted...

The front cover illustrates a thermal circuit consisting of devices that exhibit non-linear and switchable behavior. These advanced control offer new opportunities for management, energy storage conversion, or computing using heat logic. In review articles 2000625 2000623, the groups Professor Miguel Muñoz Rojo Andrej Kitanovski present latest advances in field devices, with special emphasis on...

This paper describes a model based control approach for individually adjusting the pitch of wind turbine blades and thereby attenuating the effect of asymmetric wind loads. It is assumed that measurements of local inflow along each blade are available. This effectively provides an estimate of the load distribution along the blades. The load estimates are used in a predictive setup where inflow ...

BACKGROUND Flow diverter (FD) intervention is an emerging endovascular technique for treating intracranial aneurysms. High flow-diversion efficiency is desired to accelerate thrombotic occlusion inside the aneurysm; however, the risk of post-stenting stenosis in the parent artery is posed when flow-diversion efficiency is pursued by simply decreasing device porosity. For improving the prognosis...

ABSTRACT: Vascular occlusion is used to reduce blood loss during liver resection surgery. For many decades liver resections have been performed with very high morbidity and mortality. Intraoperative blood loss has indeed repeatedly been shown to adversely influence the short-term prognosis of patients. In addition, there is evidence that blood transfusion may associate with an increased risk of...

The data presented in this article were the basis for the study reported in the research articles entitled 'Climate responsive behaviour heat pipe technology for enhanced passive airside cooling' by Chaudhry and Hughes [10] which presents the passive airside cooling capability of heat pipes in response to gradually varying external temperatures and related to the research article "CFD and wind ...
