R&D Activities in Oligopoly and Social Welfare

International Journal of Management and Economics, 2015
This paper analyzes the impact of R&D activities in an oligopoly on consumer surplus and social welfare. We use a two-stage model to analyze the behavior of duopolists at the research level, and in the final-product market, under the assumption of linear

”Green” Managerial Delegation and Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility in Different Market Structures

Central European Management Journal, 2019
Purpose: Assuming a duopoly industry with pollution producing processes, the aim of this work is to study the firms’ choice to engage in Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (ECSR) by means of “green” managerial delegation, i.e.

PknG-catalyzed phosphorylation of L13 at a mycobacterial specific site, T11, is required for mycobacterial biofilm growth.

, 2015
(A) Sequence alignment of the N-terminal 20 amino acids of L13 proteins from different bacteria. Residues marked with asterisks (T11, T12, and S14) are potential targets of phosphorylation by PknG. (B) Phosphorylation of L13 and its mutants by PknG.

Effect of biochar on grain yield and leaf photosynthetic physiology of soybean cultivars with different phosphorus efficiencies

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
This study was conducted with two soybean cultivars, Liaodou 13 (L13, phosphorus (P)-efficient) and Tiefeng 3 (T3, P-inefficient), to investigate the effects of biochar on soybean yield and photosynthetic physiological parameters, at four biochar ...

Intramolecular Nickel‐Catalyzed Reductive Coupling: Enantioselective Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines and Related Heterocycles

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
The successful extension of the nickel‐catalyzed asymmetric coupling of polarized 1,3‐dienes with aldehydes to an intramolecular setting opens an efficient new entry into hydroxylated N‐heterocyclic compounds, most notably valuable tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Life as an ethnic minority (EM) university student: Comparing mental health challenges among local and international EM students in Hong Kong

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract University students globally face growing mental health challenges, with ethnic minority (EM) students—both local and international—being particularly vulnerable. Yet, limited research compares their experiences or identifies shared and distinct stressors, especially in non‐Western contexts.

Mapping and Interrelationships of the Drivers of Sustainable Agricultural Practice Adoption Among Smallholder Rice Farmers: A Multi‐Criteria Decision‐Making Analysis for Climate Resilience

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice production sustains food security and rural livelihoods across many low‐income countries but remains highly vulnerable to climate‐related hazards, including floods, droughts, salinity intrusion and heat stress, which reduce yields and threaten the long‐term sustainability of rice production.

Ground-state characterizations of systems predicted to exhibit L11 or L13 crystal structures [PDF]

, 2012
Despite their geometric simplicity, the crystal structures L11 (CuPt) and L13 (CdPt3) do not appear as ground states experimentally, except in Cu-Pt. We investigate the possibility that these phases are ground states in other binary intermetallic systems,

Time‐Dependent Bias and Prognostic Confounding in Exposure–Response Analysis of Targeted Therapies: Lessons from Sunitinib in Metastatic Renal Cancer

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Exposure–response (E–R) analyses of sunitinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) have supported concentration‐guided dose escalation. However, such analyses may be biased when exposure metrics incorporate post‐baseline dose modifications, time‐varying apparent clearance, or baseline factors that influence both pharmacokinetics and clinical ...
