Abstract The flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into a country can benefit both the investing entity and host government.This study employed panel analysis to examine the factors that determine the direction of FDI to the fast-growing BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey) count
The second messenger lipid PIP(3) (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate) is generated by the lipid kinase PI3K (phosphoinositide-3-kinase) in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it regulates a broad array of cell processes by recruiting multiple signaling proteins containing PIP(3)-specific pleckstrin homology (PH) domains to the me
We theoretically demonstrate a plasmonic waveguide that allows easy control of the fano profile.The proposed structure is analyzed by the coupled-mode theory and demonstrated by the finite-element method.Due to the interaction of the local discrete state and the continuous spectrum caused by the side-coupled cavity and the baffle, respectively, the
Abstract Background Bovine Digital Dermatitis (BDD) is a prevalent infectious disease, causing painful foot skin lesions and lameness in cattle.We describe herein the bovine foot skin microbiota and its associations with BDD using 16S rRNA gene amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing on samples from 259 dairy cows from three UK dairy farms.Resu
Mobile edge caching is regarded as a promising technology for reducing network Humidifiers and Nebulizers - Humidifiers latency and alleviating network congestion by efficiently offloading data traffic and computations to cache-enabled edge nodes.To fully leverage the benefits of edge caching, it is essential to jointly optimize caching and communi
