Comparative Capitalism

This article argues that the quiet politics of informal business-state interaction explains the political determinants of growth regimes. Building on the business power literature within the study of comparative capitalism, it shows that the noisy politics of elections often leads to changes of government but rarely to fundamental changes in the growth regime. Rather, growth models can be traced to the interactions and interests of dominant corporations within a country and its policymaking elites. The argument is developed through a comparative case study research design, using the case of foreign direct investment–led (FDI-led) growth in Ireland and Hungary. FDI-led growth regimes are a universe of cases that rely on state-led industrial and enterprise policies targeting the capital investment of foreign-owned multinational firms. Despite periods of noisy electoral politics challenging basic tenets of the FDI-led growth model in both Hungary and Ireland, the continuity of FDI-oriented growth is traced to the corporate politics of business-state elite deals.

AbstractA novel directional inoculation technique has been designed to cast thin slab ingots containing Goss (or near Goss) oriented components in the as cast microstructure under the combined effect of oriented nucleation and oriented growth. The same has been targeted so as to retain Goss orientations and simultaneously develop γ fiber components (ranging from {111}<$$1\overline{1}0$$ 1 1 ¯ 0 > to {111}<112>) during hot rolling. The designed scheme of directional inoculation achieved oriented nucleation by the effect of exogenously added soft magnetic inoculants under magnetic field and oriented growth by the effect of fast cooling rates prevailing in the mould. The choice of 65Fe–35Co (wt%) system as soft magnetic inoculants was made taking into account the similarity in crystal structure and lattice parameter. The chemically synthesized inoculants under the effect of external magnetic field during solidification were able to exhibit directional inoculation. Variation in the cast microstructure and microtexture by varying the extent of inoculant addition was studied by EBSD technique. The ingots cast under different conditions were subjected to a designed hot rolling schedule and the through process microstructural and microtextural evolution was assessed. It was observed that fine equiaxed grains with initial cube orientations in the as cast structure could lead to the most desirable microstructural as well as microtextural gradient in the hot band.

Plant Pathogen Interactions

Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen species have emerged as crucial signalling and regulatory molecules across all organisms. In plants, fungi and fungi-like oomycetes, NO is involved in the regulation of multiple processes during their growth, development, reproduction, responses to the external environment and biotic interactions. It has become evident that NO is produced and used as signalling and defence cues by both partners in multiple forms of plant interactions with their microbial counterparts, ranging from symbiotic to pathogenic modes. This review summarizes current knowledge on NO role in plant-pathogen interactions, focused on biotrophic, necrotrophic and hemibiotrophic fungi and oomycetes. Actual advances and gaps in the identification of NO sources and fate in plant and pathogen cells are discussed. We review the decisive role of time- and site-specific NO production in germination, oriented growth and active penetration of filamentous pathogens to the host tissues, as well in pathogen recognition, and defence activation in plants. Distinct functions of NO are highlighted on diverse interactions of host plants with fungal and oomycete pathogens of different lifestyles, where NO in interplay with reactive oxygen species govern successful plant colonization, cell death and resistance establishment.

ABSTRACTSolar cell using profiled poly-Si:H by HWCVD as i-layer in the configuration SS/n-µSi:H(PECVD)/i-poly-Si:H(HWCVD)/p-µc-Si:H(PECVD)/ITO showed 3.7% efficiency. A current of 23.6 mA/cm2 was generated in only 1.5 µm thick poly-Si:H i-layer grown at ∼5Å/s. TFTs made with the poly-Si:H films (grown at ≥ 9Å/s) exhibited remarkable stability to long duration of 23 hours of gate bias stress of ∼lMV/cm. A saturation mobility of 1.5 cm2/Vs for the TFT has been achieved. Films made at low hydrogen dilution (Poly2) showed device quality (purely intrinsic nature, ambipolar diffusion length of 568 nm, only (220) oriented growth and low ESR defect density of <1017/cm3with complete absence of signal due to conduction electrons) but with an incubation phase of amorphous initial growth, whereas the films made at high hydrogen dilution (Polyl) had a polycrystalline initial growth, though with higher defect density, incorporated oxygen and randomly oriented grains. Poly2 films are compact and hydrogen bonding is at compact Si-H sites manifested as 2000 cm−1IR vibration and high temperature hydrogen evolution peak. Exchange interaction of spins and spin pairing are observed while increasing defects in such a compact structure. A new approach has been used to integrate these two regimes of growth to make profiled poly-Si:H layers. The new layers show good electronic properties as well as complete elimination of incubation phase.

SUMMARYMicrocomputer-based simulation models are increasingly being recommended as multipurpose tools for agricultural research. Use of a model should be conditioned by an evaluation of its performance and understanding of its limitations. This paper evaluates the responses of the process-oriented growth model for dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), BEANGRO V1.01, with an emphasis on the factors related to cultivar differences for production in tropical environments. Simulations of seed yield from beans grown under conditions of a known water deficit showed good agreement with observed data. The qualitative response to plant population resembled that of a field trial, and the model showed the expected linear relation between days to maturity and seed yield. Overall, the results suggest that BEANGRO has utility for certain types of agronomic studies, but that improvements are possible, particularly with respect to prediction of phenology.
