Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…Given the explanation that a lack of adequate financial resources may increase the overall risk profile faced by SMEs and thereby reduce their likelihood of survival, this study tries to explore whether a helping hand from other organizations such as governments and large incumbent firms can help to diminish the negative influence of SMEs’ innovation in the early stage on their survival. This brings forth our second research question: does external financial support have a moderating effect on the relationship between firms’ innovation and their survival performance? …”

An exploratory study for a new method to search for heavy neutrinos with data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by Tan, Cherlene Shu Ning

“…Till this date, all neutrinos observed are left-handed, rotating clockwise with respect to the direction of motion while the corresponding antineutrinos are right-handed, spinning counterclockwise. However, the fact that neutrinos have mass and spin implies that right handed neutrinos and their corresponding left-handed antineutrinos may exist and have differing properties from their chiral counterparts. …”
