Converging evidence

Ebook "Homo novus - A human without illusions" converging evidence from disciplines including sociobiology, evolutionary psychology and human biology forces us to adopt a new idea of what it means to be a human. As cherished concepts such as free will, naïve realism, humans as creation's crowning glory fall and our moral roots in ape group dynamics become clearer, we have to take leave of many concepts that have been central to defining our humanness.

In this work, simulations of xylan oligomers starting from random configurations at different levels of hydration are performed. The simulations show clear evidence of phase separation into water-rich and polymer-rich phases at higher hydration, in spite of standard indicators of equilibrium, such as density and energy, remaining constant.

This paper investigates the effect of financial development to economic growth in Vietnam for the period 1990 – 2017. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds test approach, we find that financial development has a long-run positive impact on the growth of economic. Besides, the error correction model indicates that although there exists the disequilibrium in the relationship between financial development and economic growth in the short-run, the economy will converge back to the longrun equilibrium in the current year.

The data also indicate that sedimentary protoliths of the Nam Co Complex were deposited in a convergent - related basin along the southwestern margin of the South China Craton during the Neoproterozoic. Combined with the similarities of the detrital zircon age between western Cathaysia, Indochina, East Antarctica and East India, it is proved that the South China Craton was situated at the margin of the Rodinia Supercontinent and in close proximity to the Indochina, East Antarctica and East India.

In this study, a computerized game was programmed in PsyhoPy2, and then validated by correlating 49 participants’ game performances with several creativity measures, including divergent thinking, convergent thinking and insight problem solving. The results suggest that divergent thinking is central and necessary for game performance. Potential for an effective gamification approach and possible improvements for the game training was finally discussed.

In this paper, a commercial CFD code, ANSYS-Fluent has been used to investigate the effect of mesh number generated in the computed domain on the CFD aerodynamic performances of a container ship. A full-scale model of the 1200TEU container ship has been chosen as a reference model in the computation. Five different mesh numbers for the same dimension domain have been used and the CFD aerodynamic performances of the above water surface hull of the ship have been shown.

This is a pioneer study investigating the relationship between environmental compliance and TFP convergence for SMEs. It examines the impacts of environmental compliance, and its combination with innovation, on TFP convergence of manufacturing SMEs. We applied the dynamic panel regression method to estimate stochastic TFP. We find evidence of a β-convergence but a σ-divergence. Impacts of environmental practices of firms—pollution abatement and control expenditure, and environmental treatment—are only significant through their interaction with innovation.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the spillover effects of FDI on domestically owned firms' efficiency and efficiency convergence in manufacture of machinery industry in Vietnam. Methodologically, we approach this question in two steps. In the first step, we estimate firms’ efficiency by using CCR model and test the effects of FDI spillovers on firms’ efficiency. In the second step, we test efficiency convergence and identify the impact of FDI spillover effects through the horizontal and vertical channels on efficiency convergence.

This paper aims to revisit the Porter hypothesis associated with TFP convergence using a panel data set of manufacturing SMEs in Vietnam covering 2005 - 2015. It contributes to the literature by giving more deeply understanding about TFP convergence of SMEs. Especially, this is the first one examining the link between environmental practices and TFP convergence. We apply the stochastic method developed by Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) to estimate stochastic TFP.

This paper describes the development of an electronic sleep diary and outlines its advantages over the traditional paper based approach still used by many sleep centres throughout the world. A sleep diary is a record of sleep details filled in by a patient normally over a period of two weeks. This information is then used by a physician as a diagnostic tool for identify sleep disorders in the patient. The development method used was convergent interviews with sleep specialists in order to establish initial requirements.
