Diaspora externalities and technology diffusion [PDF]

Économie internationale, 2009
Résumé Cet article analyse dans quelle mesure la migration de main-d’œuvre qualifiée contribue à la hausse de la productivité totale des facteurs dans le pays d’origine, lorsque sont pris en compte les effets de diffusion de la technologie introduits par la diaspora. Ce travail part de l’article de Vandenbussche, Aghion et Meghir (2006) qui étudient la

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Key Decision-Makers and Persuaders in the Selection of Energy-Efficient Technologies in EU Residential Buildings

Buildings, 2020
With regard to residential energy use in the European Union (EU), most studies consider potential adopters of the technology (e.g., private owners) as being the sole decision-makers in the technology selection.

The association between technology type and diffusion pattern under duopolistic competition [PDF]

Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2007
Many firms consider adopting new technologies as a means for enhancing competitive advantages. Therefore, the subject of technology diffusion has been studied by many researchers from different disciplines in order to explore the diffusion profiles ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Addressing integration challenges of high shares of residential solar photovoltaics with battery storage and smart policy designs

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
In many countries, the integration of growing shares of residential solar photovoltaics is beginning to challenge existing electricity systems. First, residential solar photovoltaics aggravates sharp system-wide load changes and, in turn, increases the ...

Architecture-based Advantage of Firms and Nations

Annals of Business Administrative Science, 2005
Competitive advantage of Japanese firms and of catch-up countries’ firms has been discussed through the case study on optical storage products. The dynamic change of product architecture from integral to modular mode has brought out the latent potential ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
