Tensors for neuroimaging: A review on applications of tensors to unravel the mysteries of the brain
No full textNeuroimaging techniques are used to image the structure and function of the nervous system for medicine, psychology, and neuroscience research. Brain data are inherently multidimensional and complex, and the recent advances in neuroimaging allow the acquisition of brain signals at an increasing spatiotemporal resolution. Being able to process the resulting large-scale data and capturing the multiway structure of the brain, tensor-based analyses are well suited for a variety of neuroimaging applications. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of successful tensor-based solutions used in the field of neuroimaging discuss practical challenges and the future of tensors in medical technology.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Signal Processing System

Born global firms’ growth and collaborative entry mode: the role of transnational entrepreneurs
No full textPurpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of transnational entrepreneurs in growing born global firms, with a focus on the growth process facilitated by collaborative entry mode.
Design/methodology/approach
The author chose the solar photovoltaic industry as the empirical setting. This industry is a particularly good context for the study because many firms in this industry sell knowledge-intensive products internationally from their inception. The primary data consist of 32 in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, industry association representatives, research institute scholars, and professional service firms.
Findings
The study highlights the importance of transnational entrepreneurs who develop born global firms to maturity by using their technological knowledge, international connections, and bicultural advantages to navigate and leverage institutional complexity. Collaborative entry mode with distributors enables born global firms’ high growth rapidly, whereas transnational entrepreneurs play a central role in building and expanding international network. Initial public offering in overseas stock exchange accelerates the high growth trajectory of born global firm by signalling its maturity.
Research limitations/implications
The author took a process perspective by examining the growth and maturity of born global firms by collaborative partnership; the author’s focus on the role of transnational entrepreneurs highlighted entrepreneurs’ sensitivity to institutional complexity along the growth trajectory.
Practical implications
The author recommends both incumbent and entrepreneurial firms in developed economies collaborate with transnational entrepreneurs in various business areas. Industry firms may be able to cooperate on product and marketing development, and professional service firms can offer services to expand born global firms further, because transnational entrepreneurs follow the global “rules of the game”.
Originality/value
The author shed important light on the role of transnational entrepreneurs throughout the growth of born global firms via collaborative entry mode. Furthermore, the author develops a multilevel framework for analysing the combined influence of transnational entrepreneur and institutional complexity on the growth of born global firm
Authoritarian Peace: Explaining China\u27s Peaceful Rise through a Domestic Costs Model
No full textThe rise of China is a crucial topic in the field of International Relations in the 21st century. Three major theoretical trends aim to explain and predict whether China will experience a peaceful rise. However, the author argues that none of these trends can explain China\u27s future strategic orientation. Instead, the author proposes a "domestic costs" model, which builds upon the "audience costs" concept and evaluates China\u27s economic and political costs associated with engaging inwards. The author concludes that China will pursue a peaceful rise because engaging in a war would likely result in high domestic costs and jeopardize the legitimacy and survival of the communist regime. To support this argument, the author utilizes two case studies: the reunification of Hong Kong and the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands dispute, analyzing them through the lens of the domestic costs model. The author also briefly discusses the model\u27s limitations and suggests potential directions for future research
A Remark on Eigenfunction Estimates by Heat Flow
No full textAbstract In this paper, we consider L ∞ estimates of eigenfunction, or more generally, the L ∞ estimates of equation u fu −∆ = . We use heat flow to give a new proof of the L ∞ estimates for such type equations
A Consistent Hybrid LES-RANS PDF Method for Non-premixed Flames
No full textAbstractThe computational demanding LES methods have widely demonstrated their reliability in the description of large scale unsteady phenomena in turbulent reactive flows. RANS Transported Probability Density Function (TPDF) methods treat the nonlinear chemical reactions in closed form on relatively coarse grids and using a smaller number of stochastic particles. Combining the two approaches, a hybrid LES-RANS PDF method to predict non-premixed turbulent flames is presented. In this method a LES, based on Smagorinsky's model and steady flamelet, is performed; subsequently, the calculated flow-field is used to drive the RANS-TPDF equation, which is closed at the joint scalar level and based on a Lagrangian Monte Carlo scheme. The required velocity and turbulent quantities for RANS simulation are estimated from the resolved LES and an algebraic model based on dimensional analysis and the mixing length hypothesis. The results of the velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and mixture fraction show that the consistency of the method is achieved
