description: This is a preprint version of the first book from the series: "Stories told by data". In this book a story is told about the psychological traits associated with drug consumption. The book includes: - A review of published works on the psychological profiles of drug users. - Analysis of a new original database with information on 1885 respondents and usage of 18 drugs. (Database is available online.) - An introductory description of the data mining and machine learning methods used for the analysis of this dataset. - The demonstration that the personality traits (five factor model, impulsivity, and sensation seeking), together with simple demographic data, give the possibility of predicting the risk of consumption of individual drugs with sensitivity and specificity above 70% for most drugs. - The analysis of correlations of use of different substances and the description of the groups of drugs with correlated use (correlation pleiades). - Proof of significant differences of personality profiles for users of different drugs. This is explicitly proved for benzodiazepines, ecstasy, and heroin. - Tables of personality profiles for users and non-users of 18 substances. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates or first-year PhD students, as well as researchers and practitioners. No previous knowledge of machine learning, advanced data mining concepts or modern psychology of personality is assumed. For more detailed introduction into statistical methods we recommend several undergraduate textbooks. Familiarity with basic statistics and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful as well as some basic technical understanding of psychology.

description: Tear force of the capsulotomy edge is a paramount parameter to affect the surgical safety in cataract surgery. This paper aimed to investigate the stretch force of the capsulotomy edge using finite element (FE) method. A FE model of capsule bag was developed to simulate dynamic response of the lens capsule to the stretch of retractors. The failure criterion based on the distortion energy theory was applied to predict the rupture of the anterior capsule. The simulation results showed a good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature. Sensitivity studies were then conducted to evaluate the effect of the various parameters on tear force, including the stretching velocity, capsulorhexis dimension, age, retractor width and shape, and rim morphology. The rupture force was proportional to the stretching velocity, capsulorhexis dimension and retractor width, while the age showed the opposite trend. In addition, the retractor shape has a greatly effect on the tear force and the rim of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) has the higher tear resistance. This work can contribute to the understanding of the regularity for capsule rupture.

description: National studies repeatedly point to workforce abilities, training, and education as major determinants of regional economic development potential. A survey in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin found that only 25 percent of the respondent firms experience trouble in this regard. Further, the skills required in this region are not particularly high-tech. In contrast to the results and recommendations in the national literature, very few firms reported using public or private education providers in their skill training activities. In fact, a 1998 survey of households in the same region showed a labor force that is overtrained relative to the existing firms' needs. These findings suggest that labor analyses should concentrate on regional delineations and needs.

description: Hyperdoping Si with chalcogens is a topic of great interest due to the strong sub-bandgap absorption exhibited by the resulting material, which can be exploited to develop broadband room-temperature infrared photodetectors using fully Si-compatible technology. Here, we report on the critical behavior of the impurity-driven insulator-to-metal transition in Te-hyperdoped Si layers fabricated via ion implantation followed by nanosecond pulsed-laser melting. Electrical transport measurements reveal an insulator-to-metal transition, which is also confirmed and understood by density functional theory calculations. We demonstrate that the metallic phase is governed by a power law dependence of the conductivity at temperatures below 25 K, whereas the conductivity in the insulating phase is well described by a variable-range hopping mechanism with a Coulomb gap at temperatures in the range of 2-50 K. These results show that the electron wave-function in the vicinity of the transition is strongly affected by the disorder and the electron-electron interaction.

Year: 2006

description: DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the organization responsible for storing and providing permanent access to research data from the humanities and social sciences in the Netherlands. As such, it is expected that DANS will have to ingest and manage a very large number of datasets. The traditional process of data archiving, i.e., having archivists enter extensive metadata for each incoming dataset, is likely to put a strain on personnel entering the metadata. DANS is setting up a two-stage archival process which will be able to cope with large amounts of submissions. In the first phase, nicknamed Easy-Store, datasets will be archived in a simple yet robust archival system. The second stage, called Deep-Store, will go into the details of a dataset and will only be executed for particular datasets. The paper will focus on the specifics of the Easy-Store system. We will give an overview of the concepts, the requirements, the architecture, temporary results, possibilities and future work on the system, and we'll have a first evaluation of the place the system takes in the two-stage archival process.

Apanteles Foerster, 1863: 245.
Type species.
Microgaster obscurus Nees, 1834, by original designation and monotypy.
Remarks.
See Fernández-Triana et al. (2020) for full list of synonyms and additional information, including discussions on the limits of the genus in a global context, and for a world checklist of species. We do not alter the diagnosis of Apanteles given in Fernández-Triana et al. (2020), which is as follows: Apanteles can be recognised by the propodeum usually fully to partially areolated, rarely smooth and never with a median longitudinal carina; fore wing without an areolet; hind wing with the vannal lobe usually strongly concave or straight; ovipositor sheaths relatively long (however, a few species, including some described in this paper, have the sheaths much shorter); and the hypopygium almost always flexible and pleated (with rare exceptions, including two species described here).
Species with longer ovipositor sheaths can often be misidentified as Dolichogenidea, especially if the vannal lobe setosity is difficult to assess (i. e., depending on how setae are distributed and its length, at times this character cannot be interpreted unambiguously); however, Apanteles is very distinct from this genus using molecular data. Species of Apanteles with short ovipositor sheaths and an inflexible hypopygium could be confused with Parapanteles or Pholetesor, and it is possible that they may actually belong in these genera. However, because the limits of both Parapanteles and Pholetesor are not well defined, and the species cluster closely with Apanteles in the phylogenies, we here choose to place these species in Apanteles and highlight them as candidates for future phylogenomic work revising the relationships within Microgastrinae.

description: The static QCD potential is analyzed in operator-product-expansion within potential-NRQCD framework when r << 1/Lambda_{QCD}. We show that the leading short-distance contribution to the potential, defined as a perturbatively computable Wilson coefficient, can be expressed, up to O(r^2), as a ``Coulomb+linear'' potential. It coincides with the ``Coulomb+linear'' potential obtained previously from the renormalon-dominance hypothesis. Non-perturbative contributions are of order r^2 and subleading.

description: The flux flow resistivity associated with purely viscous motion of vortices in high-quality MgB_2 was measured by microwave surface impedance. Flux flow resistivity exhibits unusual field dependence with strong enhancement at low field, which is markedly different to conventional s-wave superconductors. A crossover field which separates two distinct flux flow regimes having different flux flow resistivity slopes was clearly observed in H//ab-plane. The unusual H-dependence indicates that two very differently sized superconducting gaps in MgB_2 manifest in the vortex dynamics and almost equally contribute to energy dissipation. The carrier scattering rate in two different bands is also discussed with the present results, compared to heat capacity and thermal conductivity results.

Data-driven study of the implications of anomalous magnetic moments and lepton flavor violating processes of $e$, $μ$ and $τ$

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study anomalous magnetic moments and flavor violating processes of $e$, $μ$ and $τ$ leptons. We use a data driven approach to investigate the implications of the present data on the parameters of a class of models, which has spin-0 scalar and spin-1/2 fermion fields. We compare two different cases, which has or does not have a built-in cancelation mechanism. Our findings are as following. Chiral interactions are unable to generate large enough $Δa_e$ and $Δa_μ$ to accommodate the experimental results. Sizable $Δa_e$ and $Δa_μ$ can be generated from non-chiral interactions, but they are not contributed from the same source. The upper limit of $μ\to eγ$ decay gives the most severe constraints on photonic penguin contributions in $μ\to e$ transitions, but the situation may change in considering future experimental sensitivities. The $Z$-penguin diagrams can constrain chiral interaction better than photonic penguin diagrams in $μ\to e$ transitions. In most of the parameter space, box contributions to $μ\to 3e$ decay are subleading. In $τ\to e$ $(μ)$ transitions, the present $τ\to eγ$ $(μγ)$ upper limit constrains the photonic penguin contribution better than the $τ\to 3 e$ $(3μ)$ upper limit, and $Z$-penguin amplitudes constrain chiral interaction better than photonic penguin amplitudes. Box contributions to $τ\to 3e$ and $τ\to 3μ$ decays can sometime be comparable to $Z$-penguin contributions. The $τ^-\to e^- μ^+ e^-$ and $τ^-\to μ^- e^+ μ^-$ rates are highly constrained by $τ\to eγ$, $μ\to eγ$ and $τ\to μγ$, $μ\to eγ$ upper limits, respectively. We compare the current experimental upper limits, future sensitivities and bounds from consistency on various muon and tau LFV processes.

description: Luminous quasars powered by accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been found in the early Universe at $z \gtrsim 7.5$, which set a strong constraint on both the seed black hole mass and the rapid growth of the SMBHs. In this work, we explore how the SMBHs are grown through Eddington limited accretion driven predominantly by magnetic outflows. Most angular momentum and the released gravitational energy in the disk can be removed by magnetic outflows, and therefore the mass accretion rate of the black hole (BH) can be high even if the disk is radiating at sub-Eddington luminosity. It is found that the SMBH with several billion solar masses discovered at $z\gtrsim 7$ may probably be grown through chaotic accretion predominantly driven by magnetic outflows from a stellar mass BH, when the disks are radiating at moderate luminosity ($\sim 0.5$ Eddington luminosity) with mild outflows. We find that most SMBHs are spinning at moderate values of spin parameter $a_*$, which implies only a small fraction of quasars may have radio jets.

description: Kinesins are processive motor proteins that move along microtubules in a stepwise manner, and their motion is powered by the hydrolysis of ATP. Recent experiments have investigated the coupling between the individual steps of single kinesin molecules and ATP hydrolysis, taking explicitly into account forward steps, backward steps and detachments. A theoretical study of mechanochemical coupling in kinesins, which extends the approach used successfully to describe the dynamics of conventional motor proteins, is presented. The possibility of irreversible detachments of kinesins from the microtubules is also explicitly taken into account. Using the method of first- passage times, experimental data on the mechanochemical coupling in kinesins are fully described using the simplest two-state model. It is shown that the dwell times for the kinesin to move one step forward or backward, or to dissociate irreversibly are the same, although the probabilities of these events are different. It is concluded that the current theoretical view, that only the forward motion of the motor protein molecule is coupled to ATP hydrolysis, is consistent with all available experimental observations for kinesins.

description: By using the relativistic top theory, we derive a relativistic top deviation equation. This equation turns out to be a generalization of the geodesic deviation equation for a pair of nearby point particles. In fact, we show that when the spin angular momentum tensor associated to the top vanishes, such a relativistic top deviation equation reduces to the geodesic deviation equation for spinless point particles. Just as the geodesic deviation equation for spinless particles can be used to investigate the detection of gravitational waves, our generalized formula for a relativistic top can be used to study the gravitational wave background. Our formulation may be of special interest to detect the inflationary gravitational waves via the polarization of the cosmic background radiation.

Patient was on chlorpromazine since last three years subsequently develop hyperprolactinemia, later manifestedinto fibrocystic breast disease. Hyperprolactinemia, is known for decades as neglected side effect of antipsychoticmedication. Prolactin is secreted in a pulsatile manner by the anterior pituitary gland. The main physiological function ofprolactin is to cause breast enlargement and galactorrhea initially and later develop to fibrocystic breast disease. Routineinvestigation also revealed hypothyroidism. Prolactin is known as immunomodulator, and has been linked to benign ormalignant tumor growth.

description: The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect was discovered in two-dimensional electron systems subject to a large perpendicular magnetic field nearly four decades ago. It helped launch the field of topological phases, and in addition, because of the quenching of the kinetic energy, gave new meaning to the phrase "correlated matter". Most FQH phases are gapped like insulators and superconductors; however, a small subset with even denominator fractional fillings nu of the Landau level, typified by nu = 1/2, are found to be gapless, with a Fermi surface akin to metals. We discuss our results, obtained numerically using the infinite Density Matrix Renormalization Group (iDMRG) scheme, on the effect of non-isotropic distortions with discrete N-fold rotational symmetry of the Fermi surface at zero magnetic field on the Fermi surface of the correlated nu = 1/2 state. We find that while the response for N = 2 (elliptical) distortions is significant (and in agreement with experimental observations with no adjustable parameters), it decreases very rapidly as N is increased. Other anomalies, like resilience to breaking the Fermi surface into disjoint pieces, are also found. This highlights the difference between Fermi surfaces formed from the kinetic energy, and those formed of purely potential energy terms in the Hamiltonian.

description: HiCAT is a high-contrast imaging testbed designed to provide complete solutions in wavefront sensing, control and starlight suppression with complex aperture telescopes. The pupil geometry of such observatories includes primary mirror segmentation, central obstruction, and spider vanes, which make the direct imaging of habitable worlds very challenging. The testbed alignment was completed in the summer of 2014, exceeding specifications with a total wavefront error of 12nm rms over a 18mm pupil. The installation of two deformable mirrors for wavefront control is to be completed in the winter of 2015. In this communication, we report on the first testbed results using a classical Lyot coronagraph. We also present the coronagraph design for HiCAT geometry, based on our recent development of Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) with shaped-pupil type optimizations. These new APLC-type solutions using two-dimensional shaped-pupil apodizer render the system quasi-insensitive to jitter and low-order aberrations, while improving the performance in terms of inner working angle, bandpass and contrast over a classical APLC.

description: Psychotropic-induced hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte imbalance experienced in the psychiatric clinical practice.It is commonly seen in geriatric patients and it is always overlooked and untreated in psychiatric patients and this would explainwhy it leads to increased mortality. Psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and sedativehypnoticscan lead to hyponatremia, while it commonly occurs in antidepressant use. In this review, a thorough search wasperformed using the databases of ResearchGate, PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. This reviewaimed to shed light on the probable psychopathology, evaluation of hyponatremia, a closer look at different types of hyponatremia,and its incidence with various psychotropic medications. We also summarized the clinical presentations of hyponatremia, theidentified risk factors with various psychotropic, and concluded by discussing the mainstay management of hyponatremia

description: The mood at this conference is summarized in David Hughes' comment, ``this decade will be amazing.'' We've just had a pretty good ten years of advances in cosmology and extragalactic astronomy; why should we expect a repeat, another decade of comparable or even greater progress? The obvious answer is that there still are many more questions than answers in cosmology, and a considerable number of the questions will be addressed by research programs planned and in progress: we certainly are going to learn new things. But beyond that is the fact that there is no practical limit to the hierarchy of interesting topics to explore in this subject. I organize my comments on the state of research, and the prospects for substantial new developments in the coming decade of multi-wavelength cosmology, around the concept of social constructions.

description: The Energetic X-ray Timing Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is under study as the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), one of the three Einstein Probe missions in the Beyond Einstein Program in the current NASA Strategic Plan. EXIST would conduct an all-sky imaging hard X-ray ($\sim$10-600 keV) survey with unprecedented sensitivity: about 5 $\times 10^{-13}$ cgs over any factor of 2 bandwidth, or comparable to that achieved at soft X-rays in the ROSAT survey. The proposed angular resolution of 5arcmin, temporal resolution of 10microsec, energy resolution of 1-4 keV over the broad band, and duty cycle of 0.2-0.5 for continuous coverage of any source provide an unprecedented phase space for timing and spectral studies of black holes --from stellar to supermassive, as well as neutron stars and accreting white dwarfs. The large sky coverage allows intrinsically rare events to be studied. One particularly exciting example is the possible detection of tidal disruption of stars near quiescent AGN. Super flares from SGRs could be detected out to the Virgo cluster. The large duty cycle and all sky monitor nature of the mission will enable QPOs from luminous AGN and BH X-ray binaries to be studied on timescales not possible before. I provide an overview of the mission concept and Reference Design, the X-ray timing science prospects for EXIST, and how these might be further optimized in the current Study for EXIST as the BHFP so that EXIST might include many of the desirable features of a next-generation timing mission.

description: In this paper, we have investigated the effect of magnetic field numerically as well as analytically for holographic insulator/superconductor phase transition in higher dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. First we have analysed the critical phenomena with magnetic field using two different numerical methods, namely, quasinormal modes method and the shooting method. Then we have carried out our calculation analytically using the St$\ddot{u}$rm-Liouville eigenvalue method. The methods show that marginally stable modes emerge at critical values of the chemical potential and the magnetic field satisfying the relation $Λ^2\equivμ^2-B$. We observe that the value of the chemical potential and hence the value of $Λ$ increases with higher values of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter and dimension of spacetime for a fixed mass of the scalar field. This clearly indicates that the phase transition from insulator to superconductor becomes difficult in the presence of the magnetic field for higher values of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter and dimension of spacetime. Our analytic results are in very good agreement with our numerical results.

People usually do it when they are nervous, stressed, hungry orbored. All the above situations are having a common phenomenon between them which is anxiety. Here, we presenta case of onychophagia (NB), who had psychiatric comorbidity. Onychophagia cannot be managed without consideringsome related factors such as comorbidities, precedent and consequences of the behavior. The best way to treat a nailbiter is to educate them, encourage good habits and should provide emotional support and encouragement.

All of this leads to an even greater proliferation of missions and expectations, and possible growing pains for smaller rural community colleges.

description: Slides from a presentation at the Research Support Community Day run by ARDC in June 2023.

The Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative was established with the goal of helping decision makers within universities to navigate data relating to research more effectively. Our goal is to help research institutions to develop and apply critical perspectives to concepts of research excellence and impact; and to move beyond commercial data sets and meaningless metrics. Using data to support diversity and change in complex processes of knowledge making and communication is central to the COKI vision. Cloud computing combined with the availability of data sources at scale and the growing coverage of persistent identifiers is driving a qualitative shift in the forms of analysis that are possible. Traditional approaches to bibliometrics and research evaluation have had little choice but to examine one journal or discipline, or to take focussed samples, it is now possible to analyse an entire world of research activities, including hundreds of millions of research outputs.

description: My thesis tells the story of of MELT Collective, a Circular Economy Innovation Lab at UBC. Here, complex recycling processes are distilled into a room with machines and tools that empower people to transform waste into something useful and beautiful. Beyond plastic, MELT facilitates transdisciplinary collaboration in various circular economy projects - from cigarette skateboards to mushroom toilets. We will explore how plastic recycling works at an industrial scale by following the recycling chain to factories in Indonesia. I document MELT’s attempts at growing public waste literacy through projects that explain the scale and growth of plastic waste and hands-on recycling workshops that allow people to transform their waste into something useful. Next, we look at ways we can utilize design to reduce waste and pollution. We examine some of the key MELT principles through the projects that helped solidify them: recycling by hand with simple tools, collaborating across disciplines, prolonging the life of materials, and prototyping products that sequester waste and regenerate natural systems. We encounter the limitations of a bootstrapped organization and the solutions we employed to develop our infrastructure, increase capacity, and provide easier access to tools for the UBC community. The simple, replicable technology and decentralized nature of operation makes MELT’s approach highly transferable and adaptable to different communities around the globe, such as small islands in Indonesia.

description: Clozapine is the second‑generation antipsychotic which is approved by the US Food and Drug Administrationfor the treatment of refractory schizophrenia. Clozapine is unfortunately associated with number of adverseeffects, one of the chief concerns is agranulocytosis and occasionally leukocytosis, i.e. elevation of whiteblood cell count. In some cases, the leukocytosis may be persistent. We report the case of a 65‑year‑old patientdiagnosed with schizophrenia, who also fulfilled the criteria of treatment‑resistant schizophrenia, treated withclozapine as patient experienced leukocytosis

 Holotype: 1male (AMT 1429)
 Type locality: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Buta
 Material examined: Holotype SEM midbody
 Comments: In the original description, Sciacchitano (1937) described the cuticle of C. butensis with four areolar types; none of these areolar types are corresponding with crowned areoles which are the characteristic areoles of the genus Chordodes. In 1958, Sciacchitano widens the description of the cuticle giving 4 areolar types among which he describes areoles with short filaments (crowned areoles). A reinvestigation by SEM of the holotype (Fig. 1E) revealed only three areolar types are present, which resemble the ones in C. africanus. We therefore regard C. butensis as a synonym of C. africanus.

description: The synthetic emission spectra and opacity of high-density, high-temperature germanium (Z=32) plasma from super-transition-array (STA) calculations are presented. The viability of the STA model, which is based on a statistical superconfigurations accounting approach for calculating the atomic and radiative properties, is examined by comparing and contrasting its results against the available experimental data and other theoretical calculations. First, we focus on the emission data. To model the data, the Eulerian radiation-hydrodynamics code FastRad3D is used in conjunction with STA to obtain the STA-required inputs, namely, the time-dependent temperature and density profiles of the Ge plasmas. Consequently, we find that STA results fit the experimental spectrum [High Energy Density Phys., 6 (2010) 105] reasonably well. However, careful comparison between experimental and theoretical results in the photon-energy regions of ~ 1.7 keV shows some degrees of disparity between the two. This may be due to the non-LTE effects and the presence of spatial gradients in the sample. Limitations of STA to model the experimental spectrum precisely is expected and underscoring the difficulty of the present attempts as the model assumed local thermodynamics equilibrium population dynamics. Second, we examine the STA calculated multi-frequency opacities, ionized population fraction and average ionization for a broad range of Ge plasma conditions. Comparing with a hybrid LTE opacity code which combines the statistical super-transition-array and fine-structure methods [High Energy Density Phys., 7 (2011) 234], impressively good agreement is found between the two calculations.

description: By applying a quantum Monte Carlo procedure based on the loop algorithm we investigate thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic S=1/2 Heisenberg model coupled to Einstein phonons on the bonds. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, mean phonon occupation numbers and the specific heat are discussed in detail. We study the spin correlation function both in the regime of weak and strong spin phonon coupling (coupling constants g=0.1, w=8J and g=2, w=2J, respectively). A finite size scaling analysis of the correlation length indicates that in both cases long range Neel order is established in the ground state.

 1937. Chordodes sandoensis. Sciacchitano. Rev Zool Bot Afr. 30: 144.
 Holotype: 1female (AMT 1431)
 Type locality: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lulua Sandoa
 Material examined: Holotype, SEM midbody and posterior end
 Host: Unknown.
 Description: The anterior end of the body is tapered, with a dark ring. The posterior end (Fig. 3A) is rounded with terminal cloacal opening. The body colour is light brown with white spots.
The cuticle contains four areolar types (Figs. 3B, 3C). Simple areoles are oval or rounded in shape with a smooth surface, some with minute bristles on top (Fig. 3B), scattered among simple areoles there are thorn areoles. The thorns are blunt, elevated (7.5µm) and originate from a basal structure that appears to represent an areolar socket (Fig. 3B). Crowned areoles occur in pairs and are elevated 10.6µm above the surface. They have an apical ring of very short filaments (Fig. 3C). Between 13 and 15 elevated (14.2µm) circumcluster areoles surround each pair of crowned areoles (Fig. 3C).
 Dimensions: holotype is 165mm in length and 1mm in diameter in the middle region of the body.
 Comments: Sciacchitano (1937) describes Chordodes sandoensis from one specimen determined as a male and containing two types of areoles; in 1958, Sciacchitano redescribed and drew the posterior end of the same specimen as a male although it presents the characteristics of a female. Our reinvestigation by LM of the holotype shows that although the posterior end is retracted (see Fig. 3A), it clearly corresponds to a female as the cloacal opening is terminal and not subterminal. Sciacchitano (1958) also widens the description of the cuticle indicating the presence of elongated areoles, low with refringent granules, dark areoles in groups of 7­8 surrounding two central areoles with short filiform projections. Likewise, he describes a spiniform process in the interareolar space. These cuticular structures correspond with the four areolar types described in this reinvestigation by SEM.
 Distribution: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lulua Sandoa (1 female, Sciacchitano 1937).

description: The study highlights the importance of interaction between innovation, competitiveness and foreign trade. This study found the innovation competitiveness of a country is the main determinant for successful integration of country in the Global Value Chains (GVC). The purpose of research is to study the most problematic factors that affecting the innovation competitiveness of the Moldovan economy. The study is based on the analysis of the Republic of Moldova’s score and position in international indicators and rankings in correlation with the methodology of the World Economic Forum. The values of innovation, business sophistication and technological readiness factors of competitiveness between Moldova and South- Eastern Europe countries are analyzed in the paper. The study identified that the Republic of Moldova and Serbia recorded low indicators of the innovation and sophistication competitiveness in comparison with other countries of Southeast Europe. At the same time economy of Moldova follows the EU economies on the technological readiness, overcoming the Albanian and Serbian economy in the last years. The study showed that the need to raise the competitiveness by attracting foreign direct investments into research and development, information communication technologies as well as the high-value manufacturing and tradable sectors and by fully and efficiently implementing public institution reform, has become not only important but also urgent because the country is to be capable to strengthen the economic benefits that many countries have reached in past years. The results of study can be used in process of implementation of public administration reform, the elaboration of the National Program of science and innovation of the Republic of Moldova, the improving of governance the research and development in country.

description: Structural changes are crucial for sustainable industrial development. The aim of the paper is to point out that structural changes in the Serbian manufacturing industry should be accompanied by growth in production specialization and the share of hightechnology products in order to increase competitiveness. For the analysis of structural changes, a comparative method is used, to analyze production specialization, industrial sector specialization index, and for the analysis of competitiveness, the revealed comparative advantage index. The manufacturing industry is the most important sector of the Serbian economy, and, despite growth, specialization in this field is not high, which affects the lack of comparative advantages and uncompetitiveness of this sector on the EU market. The paper can be of assistance to industrial policy makers, in order to determine the best path to sustainable industrial development, using the benefits of production specialization.
