The value of technology and the appropriate form of transfer arrangement are important questions to be resolved when transferring technology between Western manufacturing firms and partners in industrialising and developing countries. This article reports on surveys carried out in the machine...

Most approaches for analyzing ChIP-Seq data are focused on inferring exact protein binding sites from a single library. However, frequently multiple ChIP-Seq libraries derived from differing cell lines or tissue types from the same individual may be available. In such a situation, a separate...

Recent technology advances make it possible to collect whole-genome transcription factor binding (TFB) profiles from multiple species through the ChIP-Seq data. This provides rich information to understand TFB evolution. However, few rigorous statistical models are available to infer TFB...

A new test was recently developed that could use a high-density set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to determine whether a specific individual contributed to a mixture of DNA. The test statistic compared the genotype for the individual to the allele frequencies in the mixture and to...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) may have a positive impact on labour productivity in recipient industries through direct introduction of capital, technology and management skills and indirectly through spillover effects on domestic firms. This study uses a model intended to examine the overall...
