Spatial distribution of innovation networks, technological competencies and degree of novelty in emerging economy firms
This paper analyses the relationship of the accumulation of technological competencies at the firm level, the spatial distribution of the firm's innovation networks and the degree of novelty of product innovation. Firm-based primary data collected in two innovative regions in emerging economies are used to predict higher degrees of novelty in emerging economy firms. Similarly to advanced economy f
Globalisation of innovation in knowledge intensive industries : Lessons from the new China
The global location of R & D labs by MNCs is a rather new phenomenon; especially when it comes to establishing R & D labs in developing countries. The existing and rather limited literature on globalisation of innovation provides four possible explanations of why multinationals locate R & D labs in developing countries: reduce research costs, access large markets, tap into a large pool

'... this ambitious project definitely succeeds in putting together coherently a relatively recent body of research, and in arguing that a new policy approach to development is needed: one that puts knowledge accumulation at its core, that recognises the complex nature of learning processes and the need of new institutions to stimulate them. For the many who believe in the urgency of revising deve

Cultural clusters, global-local linkages and spillovers : Theoretical and empirical insights from an exploratory study of Toronto's film cluster
This paper discusses the importance of global-local linkages for the development of indigenous production in cultural clusters by analyzing the interplay between the indigenous film production cluster in Toronto, Canada, and Hollywood's runaway productions. Global-local linkages are at the forefront of the current debate in cluster studies, the discussion has so far had only a limited impact on th
CFTR in pancreatic islets
AbstractCystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the anion channel and protein regulator CFTR. The most common co-morbidity in CF is CF-related diabetes (CFRD) affecting ~50% of adult patients. The etiopathology of CFRD is largely unknown but the destruction of the exocrine pancreas is thought to contribute. However, the hypothesis that CFTR has a direct role in the endocrine pancreas has no
The effect of serum and certain serum electrolytes on the activity of testis hyaluronidase in carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer pH 7.4
The effect of Ca++, Mg++, K+ and SO=4, and of serum, on the activity of testis hyaluronidase in a carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer with pH 7.4 was investigated with the turbidimetric method. The ions were added in amounts corresponding to the serum concentration of the ion in question.The turbidity of hyaluronic acid was not modified by the investigated ions nor by serum up to 0.10 ml.The hyaluron
