Organizational infrastructure of innovation processes in Russian Russia

The study presents the regional and national statistics, allowing drawing the conclusions about the state of the innovation process, its elements, and their relationships. The main result of the study is the identified “gap” between basic science as the object of creating innovations and manufacturing enterprises as the object of the implementation of innovations. According to the authors, there is a necessity for the process control for not only the creation, but the implementation of innovations in production; the formation of an infrastructure that can provide the interaction of science and industry, the transformation of scientific developments into the manufacturing process now. This structure should be a buffer zone between the elements of the innovation process, create an area of mutually beneficial cooperation. The article considers the evolution of scientific development transformation in production. The organizational model of “innovation-to-production” transfer established on the small innovative enterprises affiliated with the leading educational institutions is suggested. The merits and drawbacks of the organizational interaction models in the “higher education institution-the small innovative enterprise-the enterprise” chain are shown.
Information Asymmetries and Foreign Equity Portfolios: Households versus Financial Investors

Non professional investors display a much higher degree of home bias than financial investors suggesting that they might be more severely affected by information asymmetry issues. In particular, non professional investors, having less easily access to information on foreign firm-specific characteristics than institutional investors, will rely more heavily on country-specific factors. We test this conjecture restricting the analysis to foreign equity portfolios of four European investing countries -France, Italy, Spain and Sweden. We find, indeed, that households’ portfolios are more strongly influenced by proximity variables, transparency of the destination stock market and, even more interestingly, by common-listing in the Euronext platform.
Catalisadores à base de níquel com estrutura perovskita: síntese e testes catalíticos na produção de gás de síntese

Many of the studied catalysts for applications in chemical industry processes are based on mixed metal oxides. The specific preparation of these oxides, which are capable of performing complex functions, is one of the main research topics in the field of heterogeneous catalysis [1]. Among the mixed metal oxides, those with a perovskite structure constitute a family of crystalline ceramic materials of the ABO3-type formula, which have recently been recognized as active catalysts, replacing noble metals [1, 2]. In these oxides, A is a large cation, such as alkali metals, alkaline earths and rare earths and B is a small cation, such as a transition metal. In general, they have well defined structures, the perovskite being ideal cubic type. However, these structures often appear distorted, especially for the orthorhombic and rhombohedral symmetries [3]. It is possible to carry out partial substitutions of cations A and B without changing the fundamental structure of the perovskite [4]. The effect of the partial replacement of the cation A, usually by a rare earth metal, and especially with elements with oxidation state other than +3, has been frequently studied [5-7]. However, interest in perovskite studies is promising in applications involving high temperatures due to their high stability. These materials have been considered important due to their electronic, optical, catalytic properties, among others [8]. The perovskites may present some structural defects, which can occur through the doping of the sites in the crystalline structure, generating excess or vacancy of oxygen [9]. In some cases, doping with Sr at A-site can generate non-stoichiometric perovskites with excess oxygen and cation vacancies [10]. Thus, the influence on the amount of Sr may influence the formation of the spinel structure, Nickel-based perovskite catalysts: synthesis and catalytic tests in the production of syngas
Generalized predictive control with a non-linear autoregressive model

This paper presents a solution to computation of predictive control using non-linear auto-regressive models. For the non-linear model a neural network is used as a perspective tool for modelling of dynamic systems. However, the described approach is applicable to any type of auto-regressive model. The model is not linearized in the operating point, but in each control optimization step the model's derivative is computed (linearization) for all points in the prediction horizon. The method can be used in real-time control. This is verified by porting the algorithm directly to the PLC.
Stress testing credit risk: modelling issues

National supervisory authorities – partially under the impetus of the IMF-World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) – have been conducting stress testing exercises in their respective jurisdictions for almost a decade. However, the recent financial crisis has highlighted stress testing as an increasingly important prudential tool for assessing the banking system’s resilience to possible adverse economic developments and shocks concerning a variety of risks, such as credit, market and liquidity risks. To complement national analyses, in 2009 the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) – with the support of the European Central Bank (ECB) – launched an annual coordinated assessment of European banks using common scenarios and methodologies. Following the example of the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (SCAP) conducted in the US in 2009, the general methodology and both aggregate and bank-specific results of the 2010 CEBS EU-wide stress test were publicly disclosed, with the aim of increasing market confidence and reducing uncertainties surrounding major European banks’ fragilities. In addition, the regulation establishing the European Banking Authority (EBA) specifies that the EBA will initiate and coordinate regular, EU-wide stress tests to assess the resilience of financial institutions. Hence, EU-wide coordination and a high level of transparency are characteristics of the EBA’s 2011 continuation of the EU-wide stress testing exercise.
Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) In Malay Family Firm: Evidence from F-Pec Model

This paper aims to propose a conceptual framework to study the relationship between Family Influence (F-PEC Scale) and Entrepreneurial Orientation. Apparently the framework suggests that Entrepreneurial Orientation is influenced from the Family Influence (F-PEC Scale). From the review of literatures, hypotheses were developed to suggest the relationship between Family Influence (F-PEC Scale) and Entrepreneurial Orientation by choosing the Bumiputera SMEs in Terengganu, Malaysia as the research sample. Findings from the study support all of the hypotheses thus contribute both to the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and family business literatures. In addition, the study is also contributed to the family business literatures by focusing on indigenous family firm (Malay family) in a developing country (Malaysia).

Revision of basal macropodids from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area with descriptions of new material of Ganguroo bilamina Cooke, 1997 and a new species

The relationship of basal macropodids (Marsupialia: Macropodoidea) from the Oligo-Miocene of Australia have been unclear. Here, we describe a new species from the Bitesantennary Site within the Riversleigh's World Heritage Area (WHA), Ganguroo bites n. sp. , new cranial and dental material of G. bilamina, and reassess material previously described as Bulungamaya delicata and 'Nowidgee matrix'. We performed a metric analysis of dental measurements on species of Thylogale which we then used, in combination with morphological features, to determine species boundaries in the fossils. We also performed a phylogenetic analysis to clarify the relationships of basal macropodid species within Macropodoidea. Our results support the distinction of G. bilamina, G. bites and B. delicata, but 'Nowidgee matrix' appears to be a synonym of B. delicata. The results of our phylogenetic analysis are inconclusive, but dental and cranial features suggest a close affinity between G. bilamina and macropodids. Finally, we revise the current understanding of basal macropodid diversity in Oligocene and Miocene sites at Riversleigh WHA.
GENERAL PHYSICS: Nuclear, Atomic, and Molecular ÑPACS 01239Ö 5019 Scaling limit of digital circuits due to thermal noise

The error probability at a node of a digital circuit exposed to thermal noise agitation is investigated and the minimal dissipation–reliability relation for practical electronic circuits is derived. The digital circuit is modeled by an inverter chain with ideal transfer characteristics, and the error probability due to spurious data transfer caused by the thermal noise fluctuation is evaluated as a function of the node switching energy. The maximal error probability at each node allowed by the reliability requirement of the total system leads us to the minimal node energy dissipated per logical switching, which amounts to around 12 eV in the future 1010 gate system operated at a 10 GHz clock rate with a 104 FIT level reliability. In view of the device size-scaling trend of large-scale integrated circuits, the minimal node energy is expected to be reached at a feature size of 10–20 nm.
Active Deformations at the Churachandpur Mao Fault (CMF) in Indo Burma Ranges: Multidisciplinary Evidences

Northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent is seismically active region with excessive rainfall and frequent landslides, which cause disruption of the road networks for couple of months in every year. The region has a typical morphotectonic setup where many active thrusts and faults have affected the landforms as well as the major part of the terrain. A prominent creeping strike-slip fault, named Chrachandpur Mao Fault (CMF), trending NS, is one of the triggering factors for frequent landslides, creeping low magnitude earthquakes. The life line of Manipur, national high way NH39 traverses through this fault in Manipur, hence the traffic is disrupted during the monsoon season. Based on the GPS campaign mode studies on western and eastern sides of the CMF, it is observed that there is a change in the crustal velocities from 16 - 22 mm/yr in east to 33 - 42 mm/yr in the west. Micro-deformations are also observed; the displacements along the vertical, N-S and E-W components are –0.111 mm/yr (downward), 0.03 mm/yr (north) and –0.011 mm/yr (west). The net displacement is 0.126 mm/yr with an azimuth of N 85? and dipping 13? towards west. Neotectonic development along the CMF with the GPS measurements suggest an aseismic nature of the fault with dextral component. Fault plane solutions of the earthquakes show northerly directed principal Paxis indicating the extension (T-axis) along eastwest. The resulting creeping of micro-deformation towards the western slopes of the terrain is aligned with the principal Taxis. The creeping triggers the microseismicity as well as the landslides along the CMF.

Morphological measurements and body indices for Cuban Creole goats and their crossbreds

In this work, linear body measures were taken and production indices calculated for 100 Cuban Creole goats and 100 crossbred goats in order to aid in the characterization of animal genetic resources in Cuba. Low variation was found for all indices of the Creole goats, showing homogeneity between the groups of animals studied. Most of the functional indices are related to the milk biotype which is in agreement the possible origin of the breed from animals of the Iberian Peninsula and Canary Islands. The crossbreds were more varied, mostly due to undesigned disorganized crossing. These data may help in identifying a commercial niche for the breed and contribute to in situ conservation of the Cuban Creole goat.
Detection of phytoplasma ESFY in apricot trees using phloem and petioles

NEČAS T. , KRŠKA B. (2005): Detection of phytoplasma ESFY in apricot trees using phloem and petioles. Plant Protect. Sci., 41: 132–140. ESFY phytoplasma (European stone fruit yellows phytoplasma) is nowadays one of the most important plant diseases, especially on apricots and peaches, and it belongs to the list of organisms for which quarantine is required in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study was to determine the best period for tissue extraction and the best technique for ESFY detection. It was also to investigate the possibility of isolating DNA for use in ESFY detection from the leaf-stalks of randomly chosen symptomatic and asymptomatic apricot trees. Results of the amplification of DNA extracted from leaf-stalk and phloem sampled from 2-year old woody shoots during the years 2003 and 2004 were statistically analysed and compared, and visible disease symptoms were simultaneously evaluated and compared to the results of molecular detection. DNA isolation from leaf-stalks can be considered as less significant and reliable than isolation from phloem sampled from 2-year old woody shoots.
Détection entièrement automatique de points de fuite dans des scènes architecturales urbaines

En photogrammetrie architecturale ainsi que dans les programmes de levers urbains 3D qui prennent de plus en plus d'importance actuellement, nous recherchons des solutions permettant de faciliter la mise au point sur le terrain du tableau d'assemblage et de l'aerotriangulation de la facon la plus automatique possible. Or dans ce genre de chantiers il est clair qu'on peut tirer parti des perspectives formees par les droites paralleles de l'objet photographie et des points de fuites qui en resultent sur les images. Mais pour que l'operation soit efficace ces points de fuite doivent etre retrouves sans intervention humaine, probleme qui jusqu'ici n'a pas ete resolu de facon pleinement satisfaisante. Suite a nos travaux, il est presente ici une nouvelle methode de detection de points de fuite completement automatique, robuste et de complexite reduite vis-a-vis des algorithmes classiques, qui tient en deux etapes : une detection de segments par un algorithme de Canny-Deriche modifie, suivie d'une caracterisation de chacun des segments par leur appartenance a un cercle specifique de l'espace original. La bonne performance en termes de robustesse se double donc d'une reduction de complexite puisque l'ensemble du processus est realise en 2D sans aucune aide externe.
A gene-transcription factor network associated with residual feed intake based on SNVs/InDels identified in Gir, Girolando and Holstein cattle breeds

The aim of this study was to analyze whole-genome re-sequencing data focusing on SNVs and InDels identified in Gir, Girolando and Holstein cattle breeds related to RFI. Thus, genes showing SNVs/InDels in TF binding sites (5' UTR variants) were used to search for TF related to feed intake and to generate a gene-TF network for RFI across two purebred and one admixed dairy cattle breeds. Moreover, we were able to perform a comparative analysis accessing similarities and dissimilarities at the genomic level across these breeds.

Effective Means To Help Teachers Master Computer Applications.

The computer has become an indispensable tool for teachers. Presently, many teachers are making efforts to master needed computer application skills. This study first focused on the differences between novice and experienced users to identify possible task-oriented factors that might help novice users overcome the learning curve. Errors frequently committed by novice and experienced users were compared. Also examined were the implementation results of several instructional devices throughout a microcomputer application course to determine the effects based on students' performance. In addition, students were surveyed for their opinions about which means they believed to be beneficial to their learning. Results suggest that practicing on integrative procedural tasks might help computer learners to perform better. The results also suggest that it is important to relate the computer tasks to the practical classroom setting and to lead undergraduate preservice students to become more aware of practicing teachers' tasks.

Winter severity and wolf predation on a formerly wolf-free elk herd

We studied wolf (Canis lupus) predation on elk (Cervus elaphus) in Yellowstone National Park from 17 March to 15 April 1997 (severe winter conditions) and from 2 to 31 March 1998 (mild winter conditions) 2-3 years after wolves were reintroduced to the park. Elk composed 91% of 117 kills. Data comparisons for 1997 versus 1998 were: hunting success rate, 26% versus 15%; kill rate, 17.1 kg/wolf/day versus 6.1; percent of kill consumed in first day 7 versus 86; percent femur marrow fat of adult kills, 27 versus 70; calf:adult ratios of kills, 2:33 versus 17:23; sex ratio of kills, 14M:19F versus 17M:6F; mean age of elk killed, males 6.1 years, females 15.2 versus males, 4.8, females 13.0. Winter severity influenced the wolf-elk relationship more than the naivete of the elk herd to predation by wolves.
Optimizing the productivity of a coral nursery focused on staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis

The rapid decline of the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis throughout the Carib- bean prompted the development of coral gardening as a management strategy to restore wild stocks. Given that coral gardening relies on propagating corals collected from wild donor colonies, it is imperative to optimize growth within a nursery to reduce dependence on wild collections. This study determined the maximum amount of coral that may be clipped from a colony during propagation without causing mortality or decreased growth. We applied 3 experimental treat- ments to 12 nursery-reared staghorn corals, in which 25, 50, or 75% of the colony's total biomass was removed and fragmented to create additional, smaller fragments. Four additional colonies served as unfragmented controls. Treatment had no effect on colony productivity, defined as the ratio of new tissue growth to initial colony size, over 87 d. Similarly, treatment had no effect on the rate at which colonies developed new branches. Results indicate that 75% of the biomass of staghorn colonies may be removed without affecting their growth. We anticipate that our obser- vations will have practical applications for maximizing propagation of staghorn coral within nurs- eries throughout the wider Caribbean while minimizing the impact of this management measure on remnant wild populations.
