IntroductionStudies focusing on coopetition and dynamic capabilities have expanded significantly over the past several decades.Coopetition strategy and dynamic capabilities are increasingly recognised as sources of sustained competitive advantage.The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the factors driving growth performanc
This research has studied the possibility of optimizing some of the properties of the precast concrete flags by using by-products of steel fragments from the CNC machines and local slag, the combined influence of these materials338with the water reducing agent.The local slag is produced by the blast furnace from the scrap as a raw material, which i
A simple, thin, flexible mantle cloak for conducting rods based on scattering cancellation is analyzed, designed and experimentally realized.We show strong scattering suppression at all angles of incidence, for both far-field plane-wave and near-field Gaussian excitations.The required effective shunt surface impedance is realized by a Motor Base su
The paper analyses a drawn steel joint in round logs for which several types of reinforcements have been proposed.The load-carrying capacity of the reinforcements have been tested in laboratories.At the ANALGESIC GEL TUBE same time, numerical modelling has been performed - it has focused, in particular, on rigidity of the joints during the loading
The seasonal variability of the water masses and transport in the Malta Channel and proximity of the Maltese Islands have been simulated by a high resolution (1.6 km horizontal grid on average, 15 vertical sigma layers) eddy resolving primitive equation shelf model (ROSARIO-I).The numerical simulation was run with climatological forcing and include
