Joining a technical standards alliance is becoming increasingly crucial for latecomer enterprises' innovation catch-up in today's fast-paced technological environment. This study investigates the influence of latecomers' ambidextrous innovation on technical standards alliances while highlighting...

Economic time series usually exhibit complex behavior such as nonlinearity, fractal long-memory, and non-stationarity. Recently, considerable efforts have been made to detect chaos and fractal long-memory in finance. While evidence supporting fractal scaling in finance has been accumulating, it...

Recently, the concept of exponential sensitivity to initial conditions (ESIC) of deterministic chaos is generalized to power-law sensitivity to initial conditions (PSIC). We describe a general computational procedure to examine PSIC from a time series. Study of noise-free and noisy logistic and...

Detection of dynamical complexity changes in natural and man-made systems has deep scientific and practical meaning. We use the base-scale entropy method to analyze dynamical complexity changes for heart rate variability (HRV) series during specific traditional forms of Chinese Chi and Kundalini...

On the basis of expounding connotation of "auspicious four seasons", the paper introduces related situations of spring peach blossom village, summer pomegranate blossom village, autumn osmanthus blossom village and winter plum blossom village, as well as major project and profit of "auspicious...

The objective of this paper is to provide deeper insights into the energy savings efforts of EU Member States by exploring the impact of new policies, the recent economic recession and other effects, using decomposition analyses. The results of the study show that the difference between the two...

The 2008 global financial crisis has revived great interest in early warning system (EWS) models for reducing the risks of future crises. Existing EWS models employ aggregated variables that cannot examine the nonlinear dynamics of participating players on scales smaller than a country in...
