Open Government Data: A Focus on Key Economic and Organizational Drivers

Grounding the analysis on multidisciplinary literature on the topic, the existing EU legislation and relevant examples, this working paper aims at highlighting some key economic and organizational aspects of the "Open Government Data" paradigm and its drivers and implications within and outside Public Administrations. The discussion intends to adopt an "Internet Science" perspective, taking into account as enabling factors the digital environment itself, as well as specific models and tools. More "traditional" and mature markets grounded on Public Sector Information are also considered, in order to indirectly detect the main differences with respect to the aforementioned paradig

Where Should Governments Invest? The Impact of Economic, Political, Social and Technological Factors on the Formation of New Firms

The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that affect the creation of new firms. We take into consideration economic, political, social and technological factors which should also help governments realize the areas that we found to have the greatest impact. The study relies on data from international organizations from which we construct an ordered probit statistical analysis. The results indicate that investments in both ICT and education enhance the probability of generating new business

The adsorption kinetics of the stable radical TEMPO on the pristine and water functionalized Si(001)-(2x1) surface

In dieser Arbeit wurde die Adsorptionskinetik des stabilen Radikals TEMPO auf der reinen und der wassergesättigten Si(001)-Oberfläche mit HREELS, STM und LEED untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass TEMPO auf der reinen Si(001)-Oberfläche nur an 11% der freien Si-Atome adsorbiert und bei 300K eine ungeordnete Monolage ausbildet, die dennoch die gesamte Oberfläche effektiv passiviert. Auf der wasserbedeckten (H,OH)/Si(001)-Oberfläche adsorbiert TEMPO bei 300K selektiv an die 4% der natürlich unreagierten Si-Atome (dangling bonds), wobei die SiH- und SiOH-Gruppen unberührt bleiben. Mit Hilfe von zeit-, temperatur- und winkelaufgelöste HREELS-Messungen konnten verschiedene Adsorptionsmechanismen und sich sukzessiv aufbauende TEMPO-Lagen im Temperaturbereich zwischen 105K<T<300K getrennt beobachtet werden. Ein neuer Ansatz zur Auswertung von HREELS-Daten auf Basis der inelastischen Stoßstreuungsintensität wurde entwickelt und für die Auswertung der zeitaufgelösten HREELS-Daten angewendet.In this study the adsorption kinetics of the stable radical TEMPO on the pristine and on water functionalized Si(001) surface was examined using HREELS, STM and LEED under controlled UHV conditions. On clean Si(001), TEMPO adsorbs only at 11% of the surface Si atoms forming an unordered adlayer at 300K, but effectively protects the whole surface from further reaction. On the water adsorbed (H,OH)/Si(001) surface, TEMPO passivates the naturally remaining 4% of unreacted Si surface atoms (dangling bonds) leaving the SiH and SiOH moieties untethered at 300K. By carrying out time-, temperature-, and angle- resolved HREELS series, different adsorption mechanisms and successively formed layers of TEMPO on both surfaces for 105K<T<300K were distinguished. A novel approach for the analysis of dynamic HREELS data based on inelastic impact scattering intensities is introduced and utilized in the scope of this work
