Inward investment, employment and government policies in Wales
This empirical paper examines the links between multinational enterprises’ countries of origin, types of inbound foreign direct investment (IFDI), related capital investment levels and the resultant effects on regional employment in Wales, a peripheral region of the UK. Longitudinal, official data are used to examine the relationships between these variables, making use of statistical techniques. The findings are used to make recommendations for inward investment policy development in Wales, focusing on the targeting of IFDI from those countries of origin whose multinational enterprises appear likely to contribute most to the future creation and safeguarding of regional employment

Investigation of a GaN-Based SAW Oscillator with respect to UV Illumination and Temperature
Oscillation frequency of a GaN-based surface acoustic wave delay-line oscillator is investigated in the temperature range from -20°C to +38°C, with and without UV illumination. The results imply that such an oscillator may be used for temperature sensing with the resolution of up to 1 mK. On the other hand, as the frequency downshift due to UV illumination does not exhibit a significant dependence on temperature, it may be expected that such a system, when used as a UV sensor, would not require applying a correction for temperature
