Institutional Diversity in Banking and Economic Complexity
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we test whether institutional diversity in banking systems is beneficial to economic complexity, using data for Italian provinces in the period 1998–2017. We compute different indexes that consider diversity from an ownership, institutional, business model and competition point of view and find that higher diversity has a ...

A New Low-Stress Buck-Boost Converter for
, 2007 In converters for power-factor-correction (PFC), universal-input capability (ability to operate from any AC line voltage, world-wide) comes with a heavy price in terms of component stresses and losses, size of components, and restrictions on the output ...
Universal-Input Pfc Applications
core
Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from crop production contribute to anthropogenic climate change, while agricultural soils also sequester atmospheric carbon. Direct measurement of soil organic carbon (SOC) is limited by high sampling costs and the vast spatial extent of farmland.

Development of a High‐Throughput Microarray Platform for Rapid, Low‐Cost Expanded Carrier Screening
Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To develop a customized expanded carrier screening (ECS) solution for 8271 variants of 265 genes. Based on a microarray platform, this solution demonstrates comparable accuracy to next‐generation sequencing (NGS) platform; however, it has a lower cost, a faster speed, and a simplified data—analysis process.
