Market failures in human capital investment and innovation explain the main features of human development and economic growth. This is shown in a Schumpeterian multi-country model with technology transfer and trade. Thus, only institutions expanding investments in nutrition, education, health,…

Detailed knowledge of the tip apex structure is necessary for quantitative comparison between theory-based simulations and experimental observations of tip-substrate interactions in scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Here, we discuss field ion microscopy (FIM) techniques to characterize and atomically define SPM…

Open Source Software projects base their operation on collaborative structure for knowledge exchange in the form of provision or reception of information, expertise and feedback on the creation of source code. Here, we address the direction of these knowledge flows…
