The mean age of the studied patients was 43±4.9 years, and 54.6\% were males. SVR significantly increased in group A (P{\textless}0.001). There were no differences in the values of BNP, NO, adrenalin, dopamin and noradrenalin, before and after dialysis, between the two groups.

(1) Boeing and Airbus are significantly different in the degree of offshoring. (2) The degree of offshoring also changes among different aircraft models. To offer an explanation, this paper focuses on issues related to fragmentation. Existing literature has established the tie between fragmented technology and offshoring. However, it is assumed that production can be fragmented readily and at no cost; and only exogenous global economic factors have impact on the degree of fragmentation. This model distinguishes itself from others by incorporating endogeneity in fragmentation. A final-good firm can spend on R\&D specifically for its own fragmented technology. As a result, the final-good firm can optimally choose the portion of components to be offshored. A strategic trade policy model is used to show that the degree of offshoring depends on the firm's own cost of production, the host country's cost of production, the global state of technology as well as the government trade policies. In particular, export subsidy and subsidy on R\&D of fragmented technology are shown to be policy substitutes.

In particular, Chapter 1 analyzes the strategic capacity allocation of an international oligopoly. Because a line of products shares specific inputs that are fixed in the short run, a multiproduct oligopolist faces a capacity constraint in the production. Not being able to produce the desirable quantities to meet demand, an oligopolist strategically allocates its capacity among different products against its rival. If the market were monopolistic, a firm would mainly concern the effective profitability of a product when allocating its capacity and when responding to a capacity expansion. Identical duopolists that compete in a Cournot fashion should have identical capacity allocation. However, in a sequential game, while the Stackelberg leader allocates all its scarce capacity towards the more profitable product, the follower should still allocate some capacity towards the unprofitable product. This matches the observation that Boeing, the incumbent in the large commercial aircrafts (LCA) industry, specializes in smaller planes, while Airbus allocates resources more evenly towards both superjumbo planes and smaller planes. Chapter 2 provides an explanation to the observation that international oligopolists, which are similar in many ways (subject to the same state of technology, have equal market shares, etc.), may engage in significantly different degrees of offshoring. Different from previous studies, which considered fragmentation to be affected by global exogenous factors only, this essay sees fragmentation as an endogenous variable. A firm can invest on R\&D of its own fragmentation technology to enable certain degrees of fragmentation, so that offshoring of those fragmented subparts can be achieved. An important implication of endogenous fragmentation is that the government now has a policy alternative to export subsidy. Very often, when export subsidy is prohibited under an FTA, a government has incentive to subsidize fragmentation of a firm, which can stimulate both export and offshoring. Chapter 3 investigates Macao's and Singapore's questionable goal to diversify among two tourism services—gambling and convention. Macao has a cost advantage in gambling while Singapore has a cost advantage in convention. When a city operates as a regional monopoly, the simple multiproduct model shows that it is optimal for a city to diversify in response to an expansion in the markets of the tourism services. If the two cities operate as a Cournot duopoly instead, there will be a higher degree of product differentiation between the cities. Yet, both cities diversify more when there is a market expansion. On the other hand, Osaka is a potential entrant. The three-city model shows that if Osaka's relative cost of producing convention is even lower than Singapore’s, both Macao and Singapore will produce greater proportions of gambling compared to the two-city case. In general, Macao and Singapore respond to Osaka’s rivalry by strategizing their product mixes to avoid head-on competition with Osaka.}, language = {English}, school = {University of Washington}, author = {Lei, Weng Chi}, year = {2018}, note = {Proquest number: 10748981}, keywords = {0501:Economics, Economics, Foreign trade, International rivalry, Offshoring, Social sciences, Strategic capacity allocation}, } @inproceedings{li_fast_2018, title = {Fast {Cluster}-learning with {Prior} {Probability} from {Big} {Dataset}}, doi = {10.1109/ISCMI.2018.8703219}, abstract = {Association Rule Mining by Aprior method has been one of the popular data mining techniques for decades, where knowledge in the form of item-association rules is harvested from a dataset. The quality of item-association rules nevertheless depends on the concentration of frequent items from the input dataset. When the dataset becomes large, the items are scattered far apart. It is known from previous literature that clustering helps produce some data groups which are concentrated with frequent items. Among all the data clusters generated by a clustering algorithm, there must be one or more clusters which contain suitable and frequent items. In turn, the association rules that are mined from such clusters would be assured of better qualities in terms of high confidence than those mined from the whole dataset. However, it is not known in advance which cluster is the suitable one until all the clusters are tried by association rule mining. It is time consuming if they were to be tested by brute-force. In this paper, a statistical property called prior probability is investigated with respect to selecting the best out of many clusters by a clustering algorithm as a pre-processing step before association rule mining. Experiment results indicate that there is correlation between prior probability of the best cluster and the relatively high quality of association rules generated from that cluster. The results are significant as it is possible to know which cluster should be best used for association rule mining instead of testing them all out exhaustively.}, booktitle = {2018 5th {International} {Conference} on {Soft} {Computing} \& {Machine} {Intelligence} ({ISCMI})}, author = {Li, Tengyue and Fong, Simon and Lobo Marques, Joao Alexandre and Wong, Raymond K.}, month = nov, year = {2018}, note = {0 citations (Crossref) [2022-09-21] ISSN: 2640-0146}, keywords = {Association Rule Mining, Big Data, Clustering, Clustering algorithms, Data mining, Itemsets, Preprocessing, Prior Probability, Probabilistic logic, Probability distribution}, pages = {60--66}, } @incollection{lobo-marques_j_al_artificial_2018, title = {Artificial intelligence and forensic computing}, booktitle = {Forensic {Computing}}, author = {{Lobo-Marques, J.

The BRI focuses on the following key areas: cultural exchange; policy coordination; facilities connectivity; trade and investment; and financial integration. The BRI shares development objectives similar to those of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In fact, the BRI implements part of the SDGs and provides a practical mechanism to strengthen the Sino-Africa relationship, which Africa can leverage to meet its Sustainable Goals. Africa is linked through the “Road” of the BRI plan and has received infrastructural projects funded by China to facilitate trade and integration of the national economies along the trading route. Through the establishment of Economic and Trade Zones which attracts investments from Chinese companies, and building infrastructures such as sea ports and railways, China through the BRI framework is helping Africa meet UN SGD Goal 9 concerning industry, innovation and infrastructure.

Using five in-depth case studies, this research introduces an alternative understanding of CFBs and proposes a model of work-life synergy in transgenerational entrepreneurship based on discussion of five theory-based propositions.

Still, teachers frequently complain about the weak IT skills of many students, suggesting that most of them may not be benefiting sufficiently from their computer literacy courses. This research proposes an enhanced framework based on constructivist principles by using peer-tutoring to increase cost effectiveness and to improve student outcomes. Essential to this proposed model is the training of former course graduates as peer-instructors to achieve high quality learning results. At Instituto de Formação Turistica (IFT), a case study was used to evaluate its effectiveness using a qualitative analysis. In Macao, most students have a Confucian Heritage Cultural (CHC) background and the current findings demonstrate that students share more easily their learning difficulties within their group as their interpersonal relationships improve. It is suggested that since CHC cooperative learning is primarily based on bonds, students involved in this 'relationship-first, learning-second' type shared a larger amount of knowledge and social skills, a dual positive outcome. Moreover, English language is a major barrier for the understanding of the teacher’s message to Chinese students. Meanwhile, the negative Western concept of plagiarism is replaced, under the CHC, as the ‘face giving’ and it is directly based on the relationship intensity to 'help friends'. At last, peer-tutors play a key role in the student increase internal motivation regarding the joy of the learning process.}, language = {en}, booktitle = {International {Conference} {Educational} {Technologies}, 2017}, author = {Wong, Kelvin and Neves, Ana and Negreiros, João}, year = {2017}, pages = {8}, } @article{xia_coping_2015, title = {Coping with {Merging} and {Advanced} {Market} {Risks}}, volume = {5}, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Social Science}, author = {Xia, Harry}, year = {2015}, pages = {18--41}, } @techreport{xia_future_2015, address = {Macao}, type = {Research {Report}}, title = {The {Future} of {Macau} {Aviation} {Industry}: {A} {Long}-{Term} {Plan} \& {Development} {Strategies}}, institution = {University of Saint Joseph}, author = {Xia, Harry}, year = {2015}, } @article{yang_criminalization_2016, title = {The {Criminalization} of {Verbal} {Sexual} {Harassment} in {Amending} {Macao}'s {Criminal} {Code}}, number = {1}, journal = {Socioeconomic Development Research}, author = {Yang, Vincent}, year = {2016}, pages = {24--35}, } @article{yang__2013, title = {加拿大網絡安全戰略及法律問題 - ,}, journal = {中國法學- 2013年網絡資訊安全法特刊}, author = {Yang, Vincent}, year = {2013}, pages = {41--48}, }
