Licensing under Asymmetric information
No full textIn a world with private information about the quality of technology we find that there are situations where relatively more technologically superior firm will license its technology but relatively less technologically superior firm will not license its technology. This finding is opposite to the result found on licensing under complete information. Further, we show that under incomplete information welfare could be higher than under complete information.Asymmetric information, Licensing, Welfare

Chemical scaffolds with structural similarities to siderophores of nonribosomal peptide–polyketide origin as novel antimicrobials against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis
No full textMycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Yersinia pestis (Yp) produce siderophores with scaffolds of nonribosomal peptide–polyketide origin. Compounds with structural similarities to these siderophores were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobials against Mtb and Yp under iron-limiting conditions mimicking the iron scarcity these pathogens encounter in the host and under standard iron-rich conditions. Several new antimicrobials were identified, including some with increased potency in the iron-limiting condition. Our study illustrates the possibility of screening compound libraries in both iron-rich and iron-limiting conditions to identify antimicrobials that may selectively target iron scarcity-adapted bacteria and highlights the usefulness of building combinatorial libraries of compounds having scaffolds with structural similarities to siderophores to feed into antimicrobial screening programs.Fil: Ferreras, Julian Alberto.

Development of an integrated peri-urban wetland degradation assessment approach for the Chatra Wetland in eastern India
No full textThe loss of peri-urban wetlands is a major side effect of urbanization in India in recent days. Timely and proper assessment of wetland area change is essential for the conservation of wetlands. This study follows the integrated way of the peri-urban wetland degradation assessment in the case of medium and small-size urban agglomerations with a special focus on Chatra Wetland. Analysis of land-use and land cover (LULC) maps of the past 28 years shows a decrease of 60% area of the wetland including marshy land. This has reduced the ecosystem services value by about 71.90% over the period 1991–2018. From this end, The Land Change Modeler of IDRISI TerrSet using the combination of MLPNN and Markov Chain has been used to predict the LULC map of this region. The scenario-based modeling following the LULC conversion and nine explanatory variables suggests the complete loss of this wetland by 2045. However, the authors have also tried to present a future LULC pattern of this region based on an environmental perspective. This proposed map suggests possible areas for built-up expansion on the western side of the city without significantly affecting the environment.Validerad;2021;Nivå 2;2021-03-01 (alebob);For correction, see: Basu, T., Das, A., Pham, Q.B. et al.

Capacity Commitment and Licensing
No full textThe theoretical literature on industrial organization has been argued that firms hold excess capacity to deter entry. However, empirical analysis did not provide much support to this hypothesis. In this paper we show that the dominant firms may hold excess capacity not for entry deterrence but for getting higher benefit from other business strategy such as licensing. We show that co-existence of licensing and excess capacity can be found if the marginal costs of the firms are small enough.Capacity commitment, Entry, Excess capacity, Incumbent, Licensing
Data mining – project II
No full textThe purpose of this report is to document what the author had done in the project to investigate
problems in data mining and designing novel algorithms to solve it and compare against existing
approaches. The objective of the project is to determine whether the current approaches to
datamining are optimal and come up with possibly better methods to go about it. The project
requires the author to data mine from a given set of data, analyze the results and attempt to
improve upon existing methodologies.Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering
