The trade-investment-service-intellectual property (IP) nexus remains at the heart of economic development and the main features of which are global value chains (GVCs) and digitalisation. The protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) has become a critical issue not only for advanced...

The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool for emerging economies to monitor and evaluate progress in policies that support small and medium-sized enterprises. The ASEAN SME Policy Index 2018 is a joint effort between the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East-Asia (ERIA), the...

This report, prepared by FAO and the OECD with inputs from ERIA, IFPRI, IFAD, and WTO, has been submitted to the G20 Presidency of Japan in response to the Presidency’s request for background notes on Sustainable, Productive and Resilient Agro-Food Systems: value chains, human capital, and the...

We conducted a detailed study of hard axis magnetic field (H<Subscript>hard</Subscript>) dependence on current-induced magnetization switching (CIMS) in MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with various junction sizes and various uniaxial anisotropy fields. The decreases in critical current density (J<Subscript>c</Subscript>) and the...</subscript></subscript>

Dendrites are the typical patterns for many anisotropic growth processes. A detailed understanding of their dynamics appears to be crucial for a proper classification of various growth morphologies. In particular the morphology transitions occurring for varying anisotropy were predicted to...

The evolution and selection of fractal and compact growth patterns is described. As a particular example the growth of a supercritical nucleus occurring during typical first-order phase transitions and its behaviour at long times and large lengths is discussed. While the generic growth mode is...
