The Post MFA Performance of Developing Asia [PDF]
This paper assesses the impact thus far that the termination of trade restrictions under the Multi Fibre Arrangement (MFA) which up to the end of 2004 applied to exports of clothing and textiles in key OECD markets has had on Asian suppliers.

Optical sensor reveals the hidden influence of cell dissociation on adhesion measurements
Scientific ReportsCell adhesion experiments are important in tissue engineering and for testing new biologically active surfaces, prostheses, and medical devices. Additionally, the initial state of adhesion (referred to as nascent adhesion) plays a key role and is ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rapid technological change, shorter lifecycles and rising demand for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are increasing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and emphasise the need for a circular economy. This paper identifies barriers and enablers of the circular transition in EEE and outlines interventions.

Surface reconstruction: GNCs and MFA
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, 2002 Noise-corrupted signals and images can be reconstructed by minimization of a Hamiltonian. Often the Hamiltonian is a non-convex functional. The solution of minimum energy can then be approximated by the Graduated Non-Convexity (GNC) algorithm developed for the weak membrane by Blake and Zisserman. The GNC approximates the non-convex solution space by a

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...
