Traditional farming practices include the use of local agricultural by-products in the diet of ruminants. Artichoke harvesting and transformation yield high amounts of by-products that, if properly used, may reduce farming costs and the environmental impact of farming. The present study tests the inclusion of silages from artichoke by-products (plant and outer bracts) in the diet of dairy goats...

Our contribution to the expanding literature on the globalization of research and innovation is to investigate the extent to which sector-specific developments in an emerging technology (such as increasing interdisciplinarity and complexity) affect inventive activities developed abroad. We look at how technological diversity and scientific excellence of host countries in the field of nanotechno...

Why is GDP so much more volatile in poor countries than in rich ones? To answer this question, we propose a theory of technological diversification. Production makes use of different input varieties, which are subject to imperfectly correlated shocks. Technological progress takes the form of an increase in the number of varieties, raising average productivity. In addition, the expansion in the ...

Despite the wideness of the literature on technological innovation, the diffusion of the supply chain collaborative technology innovation has not still received much attention. This paper is an attempt to answer the question that how the supply chain collaborative technological innovations emerge and diffuse. An agent-based model of collaborative supply chain technological innovation including ...

Numerous technological innovations, including material and process changes such as high–k gate dielectrics and metal gate electrodes, are investigated to meet the upcoming scaling requirements while keeping the gate leakage current within tolerable limits [1]. To overcome the technological problems, further theoretical and experimental research is needed which requires an extensive use of compu...

Numerous technological innovations, including material and process changes such as high–k gate dielectrics and metal gate electrodes, are investigated to meet the upcoming scaling requirements. Furthermore, novel structures such as ultra-thin body and multiple-gate MOSFETs are expected to be introduced to suppress short-channel effects [1]. To overcome the technological problems, further theore...

This paper addresses the objective of including induced technological change (ITC) in research and policy models of energy, environment, and climate change. Theoretical foundations, fundamentals, and current methodologies for ITC models are reviewed. In addition, limitations and possible extensions to ITC models are explored. Current approaches to energy-environmental modeling that neglect tech...

J. Machnik-Słomka, P. Kordel, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, Poland Tis article presents the categories of technological entrepreneurship and creativity that constitute a new perspective on developmental mechanisms of contemporary enterprises. These mechanisms are of particular significance in relation to industrial enterprises, including metallur...
