Caltech and aeronautics: a presentation by the California Institute of Technology
The outstanding accomplishment of Caltech in the field of aeronautics is not that it has taught, but that it has always had something new to teach. When most aircraft were glued together from bamboo, balsawood, and canvas, Caltech was teaching the next generation of designers how to build hollow shells of stiffened sheet metal. Today, at the threshold of the Space Age, Caltech is combining astronomy, mathematics, physics, mechanics and chemistry into a new sort of aeronautical science, tailored to the needs of a new era that knows no spatial limitations.
To an important extent, Caltech's contributions to industrial and military aeronautics have been made possible, through the years, by equally valuable contributions, in the form of men, money, and equipment, from industry and government. This support has filled a vital need in the past; it will become even more important in the future.
The following pages tell something of Caltech's role in aeronautics, its research accomplishments, its success as a teacher of men. Most important, this booklet sets forth the direction of Caltech's present and future research. It is an exciting vista
Science Undergraduate Research Conference 2015 Booklet
Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), IT Tallaght and IT Blanchardstown hosted the Science Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC 2015) on 13th November 2015 in DIT\u27s Grangegorman Campus. 25 students from DIT, IT Tallaght and IT Blanchardstown who completed an undergraduate research project in a Scientific discipline in the academic year 2014-15 presented at this conference.
The aims of the conference were to: Provide current students with an opportunity to gain an understanding of the work which has been undertaken by recent graduates, and the career opportunities that exist for graduates in Scientific disciplines. Provide recent graduates with an opportunity to gain a reviewed publication based on the scientific research undertaken by them during their undergraduate studies. Celebrate the academic achievements of recent graduates in the scientific disciplines. Provide a multi-disciplinary scientific forum through which undergraduate research outputs can be disseminated to students, researchers, academic professionals and industry
Participation in a Platform Ecosystem: Appropriability, Competition,andAccess to the Installed Base
In this study we examine the antecedents of small independent software
vendor (ISV) decisions to join a platform ecosystem. Using data on the
history of partnering activities from 1201 ISVs from 1996 to 2004, we
find that appropriability strategies based on intellectual property
rights and the possession of downstream complementary capabilities by
ISVs are positively related to partnership formation, and ISVs use these
two mechanisms as substitutes to prevent expropriation by the platform
owner. In addition, we show that greater competition in downstream
product markets between the ISV and the platform owner is associated
with a lower likelihood of partnership formation, while the platform's
penetration into the ISV's target industries is positively associated
with the propensity to partner. The results highlight the role of
innovation appropriation, downstream complementary capabilities, and
collaborative competition in the formation of a platform ecosystem
Network Neutrality and Congestion Sensitive Content Providers: Implications for Service Innovation, Broadband Investment and Regulation
We consider a two-sided market model with a monopolistic Internet
Service Provider (ISP), network congestion sensitive content providers
(CPs), and Internet customers in order to study the impact of Quality-
of-Service (QoS) tiering on service innovation, broadband investments,
and welfare in comparison to network neutrality. We find that QoS
tiering is the more efficient regime in the short-run. However it does
not promote entry by new, congestion sensitive CPs, because the ISP can
expropriate much of the CPs' surplus. In the long-run, QoS tiering may
lead to more or less broadband capacity and welfare, depending on the
competition-elasticity of CPs' revenues
