    Subnational Determinants of Foreign Direct Investments in the Russian Federation

    No full text
    Our purpose is to examine the determinants of subnational distribution of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the key fifteen regions of Russia over the period of 2005-2011 using panel data. Within the most important economic regions of the country we found market seeking is still the main purpose of foreign inward investments. As a result, the size of the Russian consumer market presents a significant influence on the foreign economic activities alongside trade openness and government economic incentives. Our results from regression analysis indicate that gross regional product per capita, trade openness and the existence of special economic zones have significant positive impact on the regional distribution of FDI in the Russian Federation

    Provenance-based trust for grid computing: Position Paper

    No full text
    Current evolutions of Internet technology such as Web Services, ebXML, peer-to-peer and Grid computing all point to the development of large-scale open networks of diverse computing systems interacting with one another to perform tasks. Grid systems (and Web Services) are exemplary in this respect and are perhaps some of the first large-scale open computing systems to see widespread use - making them an important testing ground for problems in trust management which are likely to arise. From this perspective, today's grid architectures suffer from limitations, such as lack of a mechanism to trace results and lack of infrastructure to build up trust networks. These are important concerns in open grids, in which "community resources" are owned and managed by multiple stakeholders, and are dynamically organised in virtual organisations. Provenance enables users to trace how a particular result has been arrived at by identifying the individual services and the aggregation of services that produced such a particular output. Against this background, we present a research agenda to design, conceive and implement an industrial-strength open provenance architecture for grid systems. We motivate its use with three complex grid applications, namely aerospace engineering, organ transplant management and bioinformatics. Industrial-strength provenance support includes a scalable and secure architecture, an open proposal for standardising the protocols and data structures, a set of tools for configuring and using the provenance architecture, an open source reference implementation, and a deployment and validation in industrial context. The provision of such facilities will enrich grid capabilities by including new functionalities required for solving complex problems such as provenance data to provide complete audit trails of process execution and third-party analysis and auditing. As a result, we anticipate that a larger uptake of grid technology is likely to occur, since unprecedented possibilities will be offered to users and will give them a competitive edge

The stromata showed multiple branching (2&ndash;4, but rarely recorded up to 6) at the apex and each branch produced a fertile part that ended with a thin filiform appendage. &lt;i&gt;The perithecia&lt;/i&gt; are prominent or embedded, 0.4&ndash;0.6 mm diam.; &lt;i&gt;ostioles&lt;/i&gt; are slightly papillate or inconspicuous. &lt;i&gt;Stipes&lt;/i&gt; are thin and hirsute, up to 6 cm long. The entire stromata are covered with hair. &lt;i&gt;Asci&lt;/i&gt; eight-spored, cylindrical, long stipitate, 138&ndash;210 &times; 9.5&ndash;12.3 &micro;m, the spore-bearing part 90&ndash;140 &micro;m long. &lt;i&gt;Ascospores&lt;/i&gt; brown to dark brown, unicellular, ellipsoid, (14&ndash;)16.2&ndash;19(&ndash;22.7) &times; 5.4&ndash;8.2 &micro;m, smooth, no germ slit, with broadly or narrowly rounded ends, each bearing a round hyaline non-cellular appendage. &lt;b&gt;Asexual morph:&lt;/b&gt; undetermined.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Cultural Characteristics:&lt;/b&gt; Colonies growing on PDA, reaching 80 mm diam. in 2 weeks at room temperature, whitish, cottony, zonate, with diffuse margins.

The tree topologies of the single and combined matrices were similar. A phylogenetic tree constructed based on ITS revealed a close relationship with &lt;i&gt;X. palmicola&lt;/i&gt; and a combined sequence data set (ITS- &lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;) showed a close relationship with &lt;i&gt;X. oxycanthae&lt;/i&gt; (FIGURE 3). &lt;i&gt;Xylaria sridharii&lt;/i&gt; is phylogenetically related to &lt;i&gt;Xylaria reevesiae&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;X. palmicola&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;X. oxyacanthae&lt;/i&gt;. Morphologically, &lt;i&gt;X. fissilis&lt;/i&gt; is having blackish-brown, linear spikes, two inches high, four to five millimeters wide, stout, tuberous and transversely wrinkled, obtuse, often halved in a longitudinal furrow (Cesati 1879). Further, &lt;i&gt;X. palmicola&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;X. oxycanthae&lt;/i&gt; which are closely related to &lt;i&gt;X. sridharii&lt;/i&gt; are known to associated with dicot seeds and can be differentiated morphologically based on ascospores dimensions viz., &lt;i&gt;X. palmicola&lt;/i&gt; ascospores measured (13.5&ndash;)14.5&ndash;16.5(&ndash;18.5) &times; (6&ndash;)6.5&ndash;7.5(&ndash;8.5) &micro;m and &lt;i&gt;X. oxycanthae&lt;/i&gt; ascospores measured (9.5&ndash;)10&ndash;11.5(&ndash;12) &times; (4&ndash;)4.5&ndash;5.5(&ndash;6) &micro;m (Ma &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; 2022). &lt;i&gt;X. sridharii&lt;/i&gt; is distinguished by the presence of the hirsute stromata, which shows multiple branching (2&ndash;4, but rarely recorded up to 6) at the apex, and each branch produces a fertile part, which in turn ends with a thin filiform appendage. Therefore, &lt;i&gt;X. sridharii&lt;/i&gt; is distinct from all three &lt;i&gt;Xylaria&lt;/i&gt; species in its stromata structures confirming that it is a new species.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Sharathchandra, Kodandoor, Mahadevakumar, Shivannegowda, Nuthan, Bettadapura R. &amp; Satish, Shreedharamurthy, 2023, Xylaria sridharii sp. nov. - a new species of Xylariaceae from India, pp. 180-190 in Phytotaxa 625 (2)&lt;/i&gt; on pages 183-187, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.625.2.4, &lt;a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10151175"&gt;http://zenodo.org/record/10151175&lt;/a&gt
