DETERMINANTS OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN D-8 COUNTRIES: THE ROLE OF THE CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX (CPI) AS A MODERATING VARIABLE

open access: yesBusiness and Finance Journal
Foreign investment is pivotal in mitigating inequality within a country, particularly regarding financial aspects. Corruption levels can affect foreign investment flows in multiple ways: it may either deter foreign direct investment by diminishing its ...

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Exchange rate changes effects on foreign direct investment

open access: yesPrague Economic Papers, 2008
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important phenomenon in international economic relations. Generally, FDI is studied from the point of view of capital and technology transfers to the recipient countries while respecting a basic fact that profit is the main investor's interest.

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE EXCHANGE RATE AND THE DIRECT FOREIGN INVESTMENTS [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the University of Oradea: Economic Science, 2012
Since the fall of the monetary system from Bretton Woods, based on a system of fixed rates, numerous theoretical and empirical articles have emerged through which the volatility of the exchange rate and the commercial influxes was analyzed and the ...

Photon emission induced by elastic exciton--carrier scattering in semiconductor quantum wells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present a study of the elastic exciton--electron ($X-e^-$) and exciton--hole ($X-h$) scattering processes in semiconductor quantum wells, including fermion exchange effects.
