-critical-node effect the end-to-end throughput capacity sensitively depends on the underlying network structure, resulting in differing … way. A performance indicator is the end-to-end throughput capacity. Various models, generating differing ad hoc network … structure via differing transmission power assignments, are constructed and characterized. They serve as input for a generic …

An Empirical Analysis of R&D Transactions: Surrogate Technological Networks and Firm Performance

Lhuillery, Stephane - In: Economics of Innovation and New Technology 4 (1997) 4, pp. 301-319

This paper uses statistical data from the annual R&D survey of financial flows received or spent by the firm for R&D activities. To describe R&D networks, attention is focused on the construction of four synthetic proxies from empirical literature on social networks: variety of partners,...
