Little research exists that addresses the equivalence in collectivistic cultures of paper- versus Internet-based surveys. This study addressed this gap and examined the measurement equivalence of individual innovativeness scales between Internet surveys and paper-based surveys within a...

An analytical framework for conceptualizing the issue of international competitiveness at the firm level is presented taking into account that the firms are increasingly being exposed to international competition. The model identifies three interdependent innovative capability dimensions, which...

Aiming at the influence of substitution on ferroelectric behaviors, Nd and Mg/Mn cosubstituted bismuth titanate films, Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti2.97Mg0.03O12 (BNTMg) and Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti2.95Mn0.05O12 (BNTMn), have been prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates at 700°C by a chemical solution deposition...

We investigated the shot noise properties in the diluted-magnetic-semiconductor/semiconductor heterostructures, where the sp-d exchange interaction gives rise to a giant spin splitting when an external magnetic field is applied along the growth direction of the heterostructures. It is found that...
