Internationalisation of value chain activities of small firms: one small step, one giant leap
Creators: name: Oyson, Manuel Jose
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: New and greater opportunities for cross-border activities have emerged from globalisation and new technologies. As a result, international markets are now seeing increased internationalisation among small firms, often with great speed and close to firm inception. Yet, there are limits to our current understanding of international entrepreneurship. We present in this paper the dynamic value chain approach (DVCA) to international entrepreneurship which we used to study the internationalisation of value chain activities of eight small, high-technology New Zealand firms. The DVCA provides a holistic view of firm internationalisation, opening new insights into the internationalisation processes of firms.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: In this thesis holographic antennas are investigated as an alternate technology to reflectors and microstrip phased arrays for use in Ka-band applications. These antennas combine the advantages of low profile printed technology with an unconstrained feed to avoid excessive losses associated with conventional phased array feeds. The main purpose of this work is to apply optical holography theory at microwave frequencies in the design of Ka-band holographic antennas. As with optical frequencies, the interference pattern between two waves is calculated in order to generate the hologram. The simplest pattern is a zone plate representing the destructive pattern which can be easily reproduced using microstrip technology. To fabricate the antennas, conductor strips are etched on a dielectric material where the two interfering waves are 180° out of phase. The hologram is then illuminated by the reference wave to reconstruct the desired antenna pattern. An interesting feature of these antennas is that they can be designed so that the feed is in the same plane as the holographic plate, making the structures almost flat and preventing feed aperture blockage. Measurements of various prototypes validated the holographic concept and have shown that the efficiency of the proposed holographic antennas is comparable to that of Ka-band passive phased arrays with conventional microstrip feeds. Also, based on the experimental results, some design guidelines are established along with a methodology for enhancing the efficiency. The efficiency-improvement methods include multi-layer structures, feed horns, dipole-holograms, diamond-shaped holograms, and many others.

description: One of the most challenging issues facing vehicular networks lies in the design of an efficient MAC protocol due to mobile nature of nodes, delay constraints for safety applications and interference. In this thesis, I propose an efficient Multichannel QoS Cognitive MAC (MQOG). MQOG assesses the quality of channel prior to transmission employing dynamic channel allocation and negotiation algorithms to achieve significant increase in channel reliability, throughput and delay constraints while simultaneously addressing Quality of Service. The uniqueness of MQOG lies in making use of the free unlicensed bands. To consider fair effective sharing of resources I propose a Mobility Based Dynamic Transmit Opportunity (MoByToP) while modifying the 802.11e TXOP (Transmit Opportunity). The proposed protocols were implemented in OMNET++ 4.1, and extensive experiments demonstrated a faster and more efficient reception of safety messages compared to existing VANet MAC Protocols. Finally, improvements in delay, packet delivery ratios and throughput were noticed.

description: We present new results from a photometric study of the main-sequence stars in M4 (NGC 6121= C1620-264), the closest globular cluster to the Sun. Multifield, multiepoch observations at approximately 1, 2, and 6 core radii were obtained with WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope through either the F606W filter or the F555W (V) and F814W (7) filters. The multiepoch observations allowed us to clean the data on the basis of proper motion and thus separate cluster from field stars or extragalactic objects. In all the fields the cluster main sequence can be traced to at least V= 27.0, but there remains a trail of stars to the limit of the data near V= 30 in the deepest outer field, There is no evidence that we have reached the end of the hydrogen-burning main sequence in any of our fields; however, there is some indication that very few stars remain to be detected in the deepest data. A study of the scatter about the cluster main sequence yields a surprisingly small and variable binary fraction:f b ≃ 2% in the inner parts of the cluster, falling to the l% range outside. However, with one possible exception, no stars in the 6 core radius field exhibit photometric variability on timescales of a few hours through a few days. For the currently visible main-sequence stars, the cluster mass function (MF) is very flat (α = 0.1) in the outer field and flattens further in the inner fields, suggesting well-developed mass segregation. The observed variation in the MF is broadly consistent with isotropic, multimass Michie-King models. Because we have a large sample of white dwarfs in the outer field, we are able to show that the cluster IMF above 0.8 M ⊙ was considerably steeper than the present-day MF for low-mass stars. Two appendices are included in this contribution. The first is a detailed discussion of the techniques used to reduce the data, while the second provides a direct comparison between the cluster stars and those belonging to the inner spheroid of the Galaxy. This yields a relative distance between the cluster, d c, and the Galactic center, R o, of R o/d c = 4.36 ± 0.13. With our subdwarf-based estimate of d c = 1.73 ± 0.09 kpc to M4, we find R o = 7.5 7plusmn; 0.6 kpc.

description: PARP1 and PARP2 are the most extensively studied proteins of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family. They share partially overlapping functions. These two proteins are best known for their roles in DNA repair. The DNA damage response is actually the most active area of research involving the PARP proteins given the success of PARP inhibitors for cancer therapy. However, PARPs possess many other functions. PARP3, a very little characterized protein, appears to be somewhat involved in the response to DNA damage by genotoxic agents but its physiological function is unknown. Recent evidence indicated that PARP3 is involved in the epigenetic regulation of transcription. For this reason, our collaborators identified PARP3-bound genes by screening the genomic occupancy of PARP3 and found that PARP3-bound genes associate with developmental transcription factors especially involved in neurogenesis. We used zebrafish, a well established vertebrate model in developmental biology, to study the role of PARP3 in development. By knocking-down Parp3 in zebrafish, we found that the loss of Parp3 function reduces the expression of neural crest “specifier” sox9a and of dlx3b/dlx4b. It impairs the formation of cranial sensory placodes, inner ears and pectoral fins. It delays pigmentation and severely impedes the development of the median fin fold and tail bud. In parallel, the reduced expression of Parp3 leads to a massive increase in apoptosis. I also knocked-down Parp1 and Parp2 in zebrafish. Results suggest that the function of Parp1 is different from that of Parp3 in zebrafish while the data from Parp2 were inconclusive. Our findings demonstrate that Parp3 is essential during early stages of zebrafish development, possibly by exerting its transcriptional regulatory functions during the specification of the neural plate border and by mediating cell survival during the early stages of development.

description: La conoscenza è il primo basilare strumento per la tutela e la riqualificazione di un bene culturale profondamente degradato come quello cimiteriale, nel quale il valore artistico dei manufatti si aggiunge a quello storico della memoria, che richiede strumenti di pianificazione e di intervento specifici, che presuppongono la conoscenza della complessità interdisciplinare del monumento.  La restituzione del rilievo di questa complessità richiede un sistema informativo specifico, organizzato sulla base dell’individuazione di unità architettoniche omogenee, destinato a costituire in futuro il nucleo iniziale di un sistema di gestione integrato all’attuazione degli strumenti di pianificazione. Le conoscenze evidenziate dal rilievo, raccolte in un data-base che permette collegamenti ipertestuali concettualmente simili alle associazioni della memoria, alimentano un museo digitale che offre la possibilità di seguire percorsi tematici e trovare le informazioni che chiariscono i valori e i riferimenti dei monumenti.
description: Knowledge is the key-tool in the conservation process of a cultural heritage like the case of a cemetery that is largely injuried by times; in this environment it is important to adopt planning and design tools to understand and manage both the artistic value of artifacts and both the historic value of memory.
Data coming from field surveys and measured drawings can be collected in a G.I.S., an information core that can act as an integrated management system for planning.
Documentation and measured drawings make part of a data-base that allows hypertextual links, like allocation of memory in cells, and become a digital museum with thematic itineraries and information about monuments.

description: Hypertension is one of the most prevalent diseases and is often called the “silent killer” because there are usually no early symptoms. Hypertension is also associated with multiple morbidities, including chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. Early detection and intervention are therefore important. The current routine method for diagnosing hypertension is done using a sphygmomanometer, which can only provide intermittent blood pressure readings and can be confounded by various factors, such as white coat hypertension, time of day, exercise, or stress. Consequently, there is an increasing need for a non-invasive, cuff-less, and continuous blood pressure monitoring device. Multi-site photoplethysmography (PPG) is a promising new technology that can measure a range of features of the pulse, including the pulse transit time of the arterial pulse wave, which can be used to continuously estimate arterial blood pressure. This is achieved by detecting the pulse wave at one body site location and measuring the time it takes for it to reach a second, distal location. The purpose of this review is to analyze the current research in multi-site PPG for blood pressure assessment and provide recommendations to guide future research. In a systematic search of the literature from January 2010 to January 2019, we found 13 papers that proposed novel methods using various two-channel PPG systems and signal processing techniques to acquire blood pressure using multi-site PPG that offered promising results. However, we also found a general lack of validation in terms of sample size and diversity of populations.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: Microarray technology is a new method of examining the whole genome expression profile. There are over 2,000 manuscripts in total published on microarray data analysis. There are also many database resources for genomic information. Although the human genoine is largely known, the degree to which each gene is expressed is not known. Numerous authors have addressed this problem using microarray or database information. Here, we develop an approach that links the gene expression microarray data with the available genomic database information spatially. This provide and alternative method to clustering tools in examining differential gene expression. Microarray data were pre-processed and normalized so that the data are independent of the technology. Out of 9,600 genes from the original microarray slide, there are 8474 normalized genes for subsequent linkage with the genomic database. The choice of genomic database is Gene Ontology (GO). The Genomic database information was represented in a 2-dimensional map using Correspondence Analysis (CA). The normalized microarray data were then linked with the genomic database information using response surface methodology.
How entrepreneurs view and use property: an SME perspective

description: Small to medium enterprise entrepreneurs are often resource-constrained and have to rely on personal resources to support business operations. Property is one of the major decisions that these entrepreneurs have to make. In this study we investigate how entrepreneurs view and strategically use property. We do so by conducting a two-part study involving a survey of 194 entrepreneurs and followed by in-depth interviews. We find that entrepreneurs use property strategically for business, financial and personal reasons throughout the life cycle of their business operations. This has managerial and policy implications for SMEs and advances our understanding of the interface between entrepreneurship and property.

description: The wealth of medical-related information available today gives rise to a multidimensional source of knowledge. Research discoveries published in prestigious venues, electronic-health records data, discharge summaries, clinical notes, etc., all represent important medical information that can assist in the medical decision-making process. The challenge that comes with accessing and using such vast and diverse sources of data stands in the ability to distil and extract reliable and relevant information. Computer-based tools that use natural language processing and machine learning techniques have proven to help address such challenges. This current work proposes automatic reliable solutions for solving tasks that can help achieve a personalized-medicine, a medical practice that brings together general medical knowledge and case-specific medical information. Phenotypic medical observations, along with data coming from test results, are not enough when assessing and treating a medical case. Genetic, life-style, background and environmental data also need to be taken into account in the medical decision process. This thesis’s goal is to prove that natural language processing and machine learning techniques represent reliable solutions for solving important medical-related problems. From the numerous research problems that need to be answered when implementing personalized medicine, the scope of this thesis is restricted to four, as follows: 1. Automatic identification of obesity-related diseases by using only textual clinical data; 2. Automatic identification of relevant abstracts of published research to be used for building systematic reviews; 3. Automatic identification of gene functions based on textual data of published medical abstracts; 4. Automatic identification and classification of important medical relations between medical concepts in clinical and technical data. This thesis investigation on finding automatic solutions for achieving a personalized medicine through information identification and extraction focused on individual specific problems that can be later linked in a puzzle-building manner. A diverse representation technique that follows a divide-and-conquer methodological approach shows to be the most reliable solution for building automatic models that solve the above mentioned tasks. The methodologies that I propose are supported by in-depth research experiments and thorough discussions and conclusions.

Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (French).

description: Cette these examine quelques aspects de l'intertextualite restreinte dans l'oeuvre d'Anne Hebert. Une lecture meticuleuse des ecrits hebertiens repere les elements qui reviennent frequemment. Les variations des elements reconnus sont ensuite analysees dans les differents ouvrages de l'auteure. Le premier chapitre du travail est consacre a un examen des repetitions et des modifications de l'enonce "le monde est en ordre" dans l'oeuvre hebertienne. A l'epoque clerico-nationaliste, un climat de repression predomine au Quebec. Anne Hebert, dans son oeuvre, interroge et condamne l'ordre etabli responsable de cette situation, pour ensuite le denoncer. Le deuxieme chapitre de la these examine l'integration dans les differents ouvrages de l'auteure d'enonces choisis qui illustrent les effets de cet ordre repressif dans la vie de ses personnages. Les enonces etudies sont "Amica est le diable, Je convie le diable chez moi", "Il y a certainement quelqu'un/Qui m'a tuee", et "la vraie vie est ailleurs". La seconde partie du travail examine des images souvent reiterees dans l'oeuvre hebertienne. Le troisieme chapitre regarde des variations de l'image du coeur comme objectif de la mort ainsi que l'image du coeur/horloge. L'arbre constitue une partie importante du vocabulaire poetique d'Anne Hebert. Le quatrieme chapitre du travail etudie l'arbre comme symbole de l'etre humain ainsi que l'image de l'arbre gele. Les personnages d'Anne Hebert aspirent a s'unir a l'arbre afin de s'emparer du pouvoir createur et du caractere permanent de l'arbre. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Towards a theory of business angels' post-investment involvement: a resource-based approach
Creators: name: Macht, Stephanie
name: Weatherston, Jamie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper focuses on the lack of theoretical frameworks, which adequately explain the postinvestment involvement of Business Angels (BAs). By drawing upon the basic theoretical concepts of the “Resource-Based View” (RBV), this paper builds a coherent theoretical framework – the “Involvement Process” – which addresses this theoretical scarcity. The Involvement Process emerged from iterations between the RBV and the analysis of multiple, longitudinal and dyadic case studies. The Involvement Process explains BA involvement with the help of an emerging triple role of resources: BAs provide resources; investees and their managing directors (MDs) develop resources; and a relational resource underpins the BA-MD interactions during involvement activities and subsequent feedback about the involvement.

description: The measured pseudorapidity distributions of primary charged particles are presented for d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt[SNN]= 200 GeV over a wide pseudorapidity range of |η|≤ 5.4. The results for d+Au collisions are presented for minimum-bias events and as a function of collision centrality. The measurements for p+p collisions are shown for minimum-bias events. The ratio of the charged particle multiplicity in d+Au and p+A collisions relative to that for inelastic p+p collisions is found to depend only on [Npart], and it is remarkably independent of collision energy and system mass. The deuteron and gold fragmentation regions in d+Au collisions are in good agreement with proton nucleus data at lower energies.

description: A partire dal ‘500, l’iconografia storica volta a rappresentare il tessuto urbano di Bologna è ricca di vedute prospettiche ed assonometriche della porzione di città racchiusa entro le mura di fortificazione. La sfida alla base di questo lavoro è proprio quella di proseguire l’opera di rappresentazione urbana avviata nei secoli scorsi, documentandone l’assetto attuale, per consentire valutazioni e indagini di tipo storiografico, ma anche utilizzare strumenti informatici in grado di collegare gli elaborati grafici ad analisi di tipo diverso, al fine di costituire un archivio di informazioni e di dati utilizzabile in diversi ambiti, che vanno dalla divulgazione scientifica alla pianificazione degli interventi nella città storica. Il risultato è la realizzazione di una assonometria dell’intero centro storico, e di una serie elaborati grafici collegati alla sua realizzazione, ma dotati di una precisa specificità indipendentemente da questa.
Organizational consequences of evaluation as a function of strategic planning.

Subjects: subject: Education, Administration.

description: Many organizations in both the public and private sector are turning to evaluation and strategic planning activities in order to generate systematic evaluative information about the, organization. It is often hoped that this process will help build a 'learning organization'. However, the relationship between evaluation/strategic planning activities and their organizational consequences have not been wail documented and empirical studies are needed to further explore this relationship. The present study examines within-organization perceptions of organizational teaming capacity (OLC) and the extent to which they are influenced by the strategic planning/evaluation (SP/E) process. These relationships are explored within the context of an organizational teaming conceptual framework. The framework is based on the results of over two decades of research in the areas of evaluation utilization, strategic planning and organizational teaming. Participation by organization members in the SP/E process and SP/E Utilization are cast as predictors of perceived OLC. These relationships are tested using retrospective survey data collected from 46 staff members at an Ontario children's treatment centre. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

AbstractSatralizumab (Enspryng®), a humanized anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor monoclonal recycling antibody, has been developed by Chugai Pharmaceutical and Roche for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). In June 2020, based on positive results from two pivotal phase 3 trials, SAkuraStar and SAkuraSky, subcutaneous satralizumab received its first global approval in Canada for the treatment of NMOSD in adults and children aged ≥ 12 years who are aquaporin 4 water channel autoantibody (AQP4-IgG) seropositive. Satralizumab was subsequently approved in Japan, Switzerland and the USA. Satralizumab is under regulatory review in the EU, and is undergoing clinical development in several countries worldwide. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of satralizumab leading to this first approval for the treatment of NMOSD.

SAkuraStar and SAkuraSky clinical trials additional informationAdditional information about NMO and NMOSD and the SAkuraStar and SAkuraSky trials can be found in two peer-reviewed video abstracts, which are sponsored by Roche and were uploaded to Figshare after the satralizumab AdisInsight Report was published.

The biopolitics of settler colonialism: right here, right now
Creators: name: Morgensen, Scott Lauria
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Settler colonialism is exemplary of the processes of biopower theorised by Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault. However, settler colonialism remains naturalised within theories of biopower and theories of its relation to coloniality. White supremacist settler colonisation produces specific modes of biopolitics that sustain not only in settler states but also in regimes of global governance that inherit, extend, and naturalise their power. I extend Patrick Wolfe's theory that a 'logic of elimination' constitutes settler colonialism in the genocide and amalgamation of Indigenous peoples, by indicating that this also indigenises and naturalises white settler nations as projections of the West. Agamben's work illuminates how Indigenous peoples are eliminated in a state of exception to Western law, which by functioning to erase consanguinity---as the patriarch in Roman law eliminates the defiant son---explains Indigenous peoples' seemingly contradictory incorporation within and excision from the body of white settler nations. This biopolitical process specific to settler colonialism also structures the manner in which white settler societies demonstrably universalize Western law, both within their bounds and in global arenas. My call to denaturalise settler colonialism in social theory is but a first step towards broader study of how the biopolitics of settler colonialism structure current modes of biopower and require concerted critique at the intersections of Indigenous and settler colonial studies.

description: This paper presents a concept of an intelligent sensing technique based on modulating the frequency responses of microwave near-field sensors to characterize material parameters. The concept is based on the assumption that the physical parameters being extracted such as fluid concentration are constant over the range of frequency of the sensor. The modulation of the frequency response is based on the interactions between the material under test and multiple sensors. The concept is based on observing the responses of the sensors over a frequency wideband as vectors of many dimensions. The dimensions are then considered as the features for a neural network. With small datasets, the neural networks can produce highly accurate and generalized models. The concept is demonstrated by designing a microwave sensing system based on a two-port microstrip line exciting three-identical planar resonators. For experimental validation, the sensor is used to detect the concentration of a fluid material composed of two pure fluids. Very high accuracy is achieved.

Glucose tolerance in 3 teleost species.
Creators: name: Legate, Nicola J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: This study tests the hypothesis that glucose tolerance in fish is related to nutrient preference and that this tolerance is correlated with hexokinase activity and tissue glucose transporters. Differences in glucose clearance abilities of three fish species, the carnivorous rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata) and the omnivorous bullhead catfish (Ameiurus melas) were investigated in this study. Glucose tolerance was compared between the three species and between feeding and 6 month fasted eels. Glucose tolerance was assessed by administering an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IGTT), injecting 250 mg glucose/kg body weight and taking blood samples over 24 h. Feeding eel and catfish were found to be more glucose tolerant than fasting eel and rainbow trout. Glucose turnover was investigated in the rainbow trout during the glucose tolerance test and the rate of appearance of glucose did not decrease until 2 h after a glucose load which may contribute to the glucose intolerance seen. To test what factors might contribute to differences in glucose tolerance, two steps within the glucose uptake pathway were examined in white muscle. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The concept of “historical centre”, intended as the extended urban area, is introduced, from a regulatory standpoint, immediately after the postwar period, when it is more strong the need to provide for the reconstruction and preservation of the city.  The city planning tool, developed by national legislation, for the definition of plans aimed at recovering the historical values of the urban landscape goes through the evolution of the concept of historical center and lives on the contribution of critical studies and researches from Astengo and Cavallari Murat, who explored the theme of the story of planning and method of representation. At the regional level, the Emilia-Romagna, beginning from the Conservation plan for the historical center of Bologna, presented in 1969, develops a strong body of legal substance, the result of critical reprocessing of the national debate, and contributes significantly to enhance themes of urban landscape and its regeneration.
description: Il concetto di “centro storico”, inteso come ambito urbano esteso, viene introdotto, dal punto di vista normativo, subito dopo il dopoguerra, quando si fa forte l’esigenza di provvedere alla ricostruzione e alla salvaguardia delle città. Lo strumento urbanistico, elaborato dalla normativa nazionale, per la definizione dei piani mirati al recupero dei valori storici del paesaggio urbano passa attraverso l’evoluzione del concetto stesso di centro storico e si nutre dell’apporto critico degli studi e delle ricerche, da Astengo a Cavallari Murat, che approfondiscono il tema del racconto urbanistico e del relativo metodo di rappresentazione. A livello regionale, l’Emilia-Romagna a partire dal piano di conservazione per il centro storico di Bologna, presentato nel 1969, elabora un corpo normativo di forte sostanza, risultato della rielaborazione critica del dibattito nazionale, e contribuisce in modo significativo ad approfondire i temi del paesaggio urbano e della sua riqualificazione.
