嵌套技术扩散模型估计与落后地区的技术追赶

技术差距带来的技术扩散效应决定了区域间可能存在着技术收敛.在限制指数模型中,所有国家和地区将获得相同的技术进步率,在逻辑斯蒂模型中,人力资本水平成为制约技术收敛的条件.将Benhabib和Speigel(2005)的跨国技术收敛的实证研究工作推广到国内地区研究之中,分析了中国30个省区1990-2008年技术进步率的影响因素及收敛情况.实证研究结果表明,中国30个省区的技术进步率趋异.人力资本是促进地区自主创新和技术扩散的积极因素.     

The economics of social computing: Some preliminary findings on healthcare organizations

Large-scale organizations have used social computing platforms for various purposes. This research focuses on how hospitals utilize these platforms to attract potential customers (which represents the “extensivity” of a social computing platform) and generate interests in specific topics (which represents the “intensivity” of a platform). Specifically, we examine the effects of size of a hospital (or “size”) and the time that the social computing platform has been in existence (or “time”) on extensivity and intensivity. Our findings show that time is a significant variable on both dimensions; whereas size affects intensivity under certain conditions. We discuss the implications of these findings, and set the stage for future research.     

Fabrication and characterization of polymer thermo-optic switch based on mmi coupler

The 2 × 2 polymer thermo-optic switch based on MMI coupler is realized. This device is fabricated using standard fabrication techniques such as coating, photolithography, and dry etching. A crosstalk level of −36.2 dB is achieved at cross and bar states. A power consumption of 1.85 mW is applied to change the state of the switch from the cross to the bar state. A switching time of less than 0.7 ms is traced to change a state of the realized switch.

Bidirectional Regulation of mRNA Translation in Mammalian Cells by Using PUF Domains

The regulation of gene expression is crucial in diverse areas of biological science, engineering, and medicine. A genetically encoded system based on the RNA binding domain of the Pumilio and FBF (PUF) proteins was developed for the bidirectional regulation (i.e., either upregulation or downregulation) of the translation of a target mRNA. PUF domains serve as designable scaffolds for the recognition of specific RNA elements and the specificity can be easily altered to target any 8‐nucleotide RNA sequence. The expression of a reporter could be varied by over 17‐fold when using PUF‐based activators and repressors. The specificity of the method was established by using wild‐type and mutant PUF domains. Furthermore, this method could be used to activate the translation of target mRNA downstream of PUF binding sites in a light‐dependent manner. Such specific bidirectional control of mRNA translation could be particularly useful in the fields of synthetic biology, developmental biology, and metabolic engineering.
