Abstract:
The paper studies the effects of a one-sided minimum wage in a two-country model of intra-industry trade, in which multinational firms arise endogenously. With positive levels of intra-industry trade the adverse employment and welfare effects of an asymmetric minimum wage are significantly larger than in a non-trading economy. Multinational firms generally mitigate the effect somewhat. Even though factor prices are not equalized across countries, a (binding) wage floor in one country will prop up wages in the other. The flexible-wage country is insulated from shocks caused by factor accumulati

Today, due to the rapid development of large megacities in our country, they are actively being built up with multi-storey buildings. For example, in the capital, the construction of buildings with 20 floors or more is becoming the norm and continues to grow from year to year. Multi-storey buildings are of interest not only to architects, but also to engineers, because they are forced to solve problems that they have not encountered before when designing. This forces you to raise some questions and then find answers to them by implementing them into design practice.

Abstract Forest fire is a very common natural disaster or caused by humans that happens throughout the year in a humid country like Malaysia. Forest fire had caused many problems like haze and disruption of the environment. The peat-swamp areas are more susceptible to forest fire due to having a relatively spongy forest floor and covered with a thick and dense layer of humus.

Abstract Due to ongoing military operations in the territories of our country, a critical issue has emerged regarding the protection of public buildings from damage caused by missiles, drones, and artillery shells. Safeguarding these buildings from such destructive forces is an extremely challenging task, and in many cases, it may seem nearly impossible. Nevertheless, while complete protection against these types of attacks may not be feasible, there are still methods available to mitigate the consequences of such impacts.

The methodology is linear stability theory by means of Orr-Sommerfeld analysis together with direct numerical simulation of the two-phase flow in the case of nonlinear disturbances. The influence of two main flow parameters on the interfacial dynamics, namely the film thickness and pressure drop applied to drive the gas stream, is investigated. To make contact with existing

Abstract:
Large Eddy Simulations were performed to study the effect of a micro-ramp on an inclined turbulent jet interacting with a cross-flow in a film-cooling configuration. The micro-ramp vortex generator is placed downstream of the film-cooling jet. Changes in vortex structure and film-cooling effectiveness are evaluated and the genesis of the counter-rotating vortex pair in the jet is discussed. Results are reported with the jet modeled using a plenum/pipe configuration. This configuration was designed based on previous wind tunnel experiments at NASA Glenn Research Center, and the present results

Abstract:
Abstract The pressure-side cutback is used to design the trailing-edge film cooling. Previous studies have demonstrated the strong unsteady film mixing between the mainstream gas and the slot coolant, resulting in rapid deterioration of the film cooling effectiveness on cutback surface. The shedding vortexes formed by the clockwise and counter-clockwise structures induced by the mainstream and slot coolant shear-layer account for the strong blending. The RANS/LES hybrid turbulence model (DDES) has been proved to capture the locally unstable flows well. The flowfields and temperature of the cut

Abstract:
Abstract Developing robust film cooling protection on the suction surface of a vane is critical to managing the high heat loads which exist there. Suction surface film cooling often produces high levels of film cooling but can be influenced by secondary flows and some dissipation due to free-stream turbulence. Directly downstream from suction surface film cooling, heat loads are often significantly mitigated and internal cooling levels can be modest. One thermodynamically efficient way to cool the suction surface of a vane is with a counter cooling scheme. This combined internal/external cooli

Abstract:
The paper analyses the role of external knowledge flows in the upgrading of the biomedical district of Mirandola, Emilia-Romagna region, in Italy. The district produces two types of products, namely disposables and electromedical machines, and the paper considers this second production type. The Mirandola district has been able to maintain a relatively good competitive position. The paper shows that while all firms in this sector in this region tend to have fairly good performance in terms of size and revenue growth, a significant difference exists in terms of innovation performance.

Abstract:
This paper explores patterns of collaboration in innovation between foreign firms and local partners in nine Latin American countries. Using microdata from the harmonized Latin American Innovation Surveys dataset (LAIS) and the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC) for comparison, the approach considers factors at micro, meso, and macro-levels to identify and illustrate knowledge flows between local and foreign firms in host countries. The empirical evidence presented shows that technological strategies of foreign subsidiaries, sectoral innovation patterns, and national innovation con

Abstract:
On February 9, 2022, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services responded to a fire in a ground floor unit in a garden apartment building. At arrival, the fire was a post-flashover fire in a bedroom. Initial fire control was attempted by an interior fire attack team which was unable to quickly locate the fire. Exterior suppression through the bedroom window was started prior to discovery of the fire by the interior team. Shortly after fire discovery by the internal team, a mayday was called. Four firefighters from the interior fire attack team received first and second degree burns. This report a

Abstract:
This paper investigates the sudden 2019 termination by the United States Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) of trade with India as a quasi-natural experiment. Given the re-election of Donald Trump and global concerns about the future of global trade, understanding the distributional consequences from past trade shocks can inform strategies to balance trade preferences with social equity. The impact of the GSP termination is examined with a triple difference-in-differences specification that controls for both country- and product-level export changes to estimate the impact of the terminati
