Abstract—Public service is the foundation of human dignity and well-being in modern society, and also the main functions of modern government and the main areas of modern society. The development level of public services is a fundamental standard to measure responsible quality and responsibility of modern government. There are some plights in China’s public service responsibility mechanism, so here we propose some countermeasures to improve the responsibility mechanism in

Pfam is a large collection of protein families and domains. Over the past 2 years the number of families in Pfam has doubled and now stands at 6190 (version 10.0). Methodology improvements for searching the Pfam collection locally as well as via the web are described. Other recent innovations

of an innovation laboratory we elaborate the notion of a demand-oriented local innovation panel and report managerial implications and lessons learned from its set up. The unique potential of this approach includes flexible recruitment for diverse purposes across all phases of innovation, highly targeted sampling

This paper investigates spillovers from multinationals to local firms, using information from two Norweigan innovation surveys. Most empirical studies of such spillovers focus on how R&D expenditures in multinationals affect the productivity of local firms, measured in terms of TFP or labour

“bandlimited and sinc kernel ” case. In particular, we show how to sample and reconstruct periodic and finite-length streams of Diracs, nonuniform splines, and piecewise polynomials using sinc and Gaussian kernels. For infinite-length signals with finite local rate of innovation, we show local sampling

Despite its popularity for general clustering, K-means suffers three major shortcomings; it scales poorly computationally, the number of clusters K has to be supplied by the user, and the search is prone to local minima. We propose solutions for the first two problems, and a partial remedy

changes are principally driven by local supply/demand shocks that are independent of both credit-risk factors and standard proxies for liquidity. * Collin-Dufresne is at Carnegie Mellon University.

to their creativity and to serve as entry points to genuine partnership in local-level research and development. The stakeholders involved in Participatory Innovation Development reflect on how this differs from the way they conventionally work. They consider whether and how it leads to better results, above all

This study explores the premise that knowledge in new product development proves both a barrier to and a source of innovation. To understand the problematic nature of knowledge and the boundaries that result, an ethnographic study was used to understand how knowledge is structured differently

the example of an international partnership programme, we show how the R&D capacities of resource-poor farmers can be strengthened and agricultural services can support them. It is based on the realisation that farmers, on their own initiative and using local resources, are innovating
