The impact of alliances and internal R&D on the firm's innovation and financial performance by Fábio de Oliveira Paula, Jorge Ferreira da Silva

“…Internal R&D, on the other hand, did not influence innovation performance directly; however, it positively moderated the relationship between strategic alliances and innovation performance, corroborating with the absorptive capacity theory. Contrary to our expectations, innovation performance had a negative influence on future financial performance. …”

Adaptive Control of MEMS Gyroscope Based on T-S Fuzzy Model by Yunmei Fang, Shitao Wang, Juntao Fei, Mingang Hua

“…A parameter estimation scheme for updating the parameters of the T-S fuzzy models is designed and analyzed based on the Lyapunov theory. A new adaptive law can be selected to be the former adaptive law plus a nonnegative in variable to guarantee that the derivative of the Lyapunov function is smaller than zero. …”

Two new nonrandomized response models for surveys on sensitive topics by Andreas Quatember

“…These models, the double triangular model and the flat parallel model, are nonrandomized versions of two well-established and practically applied methods, the forced and the contamination method, to overcome the limitations of these randomized response techniques. Additionally, the theory of all nonrandomized response models is developed for general probability sampling under one theoretical roof. …”
