<heading id="h1" level="3" format="inline" implicit="no">Abstract: </heading>We examine the newly developed international diversification instruments-iShares traded on the American Stock Exchange. Given the fact that iShares can be created and redeemed at will, the daily price of an iShare is expected to be equal to the daily portfolio value of the underlying...

The central objective of the present paper is to examine how university bioscientists select their research agendas, with special attention to biotechnology firms' influence on those agendas. Among other issues, we will assess UIRs' potential effects on the private appropriability of the...

Despite widespread awareness that scientific record and grant funding reinforce one another, empirical models of scientific production normally consider laboratory inputs to be exogenous. The present article employs a cross-section of academic bioscientists to examine the mutual relationship...

Hydrogen release from hydrolysis of LiNH2BH3, NaNH2BH3, LiH-NH3BH3 and NaH-NH3BH3 was investigated respectively in this paper. Their applications on man-free submarine vehicles were discussed in this paper. It is shown experimentally that LiNH2BH3 and NaNH2BH3 hydrolysis can release 3...

<Para ID="Par5">This study investigates how organizational slack affects corporate social performance (CSP). Based on a sample of 1,299 Chinese listed firms, our results show that only unabsorbed slack contributes to CSP and the positive relationship between unabsorbed slack and CSP is consistent with the...</para>

Academic bioscience’s rising importance for downstream technology and growing private sector relationships have evoked substantial policy attention. We contribute to the scrutiny by asking how university bioscientists design and finance their research, with particular attention to the...
