Smart card based products are subject to the cryptographic export regulations. Unfortunately, these regulations are often taken into account too late, and it results in export restrictions. We claim that most of the times, these restrictions could be avoided by considering the cryptographic export matters at the earliest design stages. The aim of this paper is to provide a few principles to use...

Currently, water demand management and optimal operation of its resources is one ofthe most important issues in environmental economics and management. Water demandmanagement has been a concern of economic planners as a new approach in environmentaleconomics. This study aims to investigate water demand management in different productmarkets in downstream of Yengejeh Dam in Neyshabur. This is an...

Using data for the period 1983-2002, this study examines the relationship between inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and export performance in China. The results indicate that FDI promotes exports by foreign as well as domestically-owned firms, and that this effect is strongest for labour-intensive industries. This impact, however, does not depend on the country of origin of the investor. T...

Taiwan economy has always been export-oriented, creating tightly-linked industrial chains between cross-straits companies tightly. Understanding the influence of transforming industrial patterns of major economic entities would be critical for long-term cooperative small economic entities (countries or regions) in the periphery. The author of this paper has thus analyzed the influences and ...

BACKGROUND Plant domestication occurred independently in four different regions of the Americas. In general, different species were domesticated in each area, though a few species were domesticated independently in more than one area. The changes resulting from human selection conform to the familiar domestication syndrome, though different traits making up this syndrome, for example loss of di...

The paper investigates the FDI-trade relationship, and tests empirically (in a cross-country EU setting) the key determinants of the export intensity of multinational (MNE) subsidiaries. The central focus is the link between the strategic roles and characteristics of MNE subsidiaries, and their export patterns. Expectations about high export intensities of rationalized manufacturers and product...

Nuclear export of mRNA in eukaryotic cells is mediated by soluble transport factors and components of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The cytoplasmically oriented nuclear pore protein Nup159 plays a critical role in mRNA export through its conserved N-terminal domain (NTD). Here, we report the crystal structure of the Nup159 NTD, refined to 2.5 A. The structure reveals an unusually asymmetric s...

1.0 Introduction The importance of improved export performance in increasing household incomes and reducing poverty cannot be overemphasised. The proportion of persons living in are reported to be declining over the past century, however more significantly is that in the last two decades, the numbers of people living in poverty is observed to be declining. It is reported that the number that th...
