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

“…This not only sheds new light on how SMEs innovation-survival relationship is shaped by the timing of initiating innovation but also how this relationship is moderated by external financial support and collaborative networks from different sources, including the public and private sectors. Our findings will not only enlighten the policymakers in drafting different supportive schemes to provide aid to the SMEs but also the entrepreneurs in establishing routines for managing their innovation activities and taking full advantage of external financial support and collaborative networks to improve their innovation and business performance.…”

Distinct Circle of Willis anatomical configurations in healthy preterm born adults: a 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography study by Greggio, J, Malamateniou, C, Baruteau, KP, Reyes-Aldasoro, CC, Huckstep, OJ, Francis, JM, Williamson, W, Leeson, P, Lewandowski, AJ, Lapidaire, W

“…However, the incidence of absent segments was lower in preterm adults, who were more likely to exhibit variants associated with complete CoW configurations compared to full-term adults (p = 0.025). Preterm males had a higher probability of a group 1 variant (circles with one or more hypoplastic segments only) than the full-term group (p = 0.024). …”

Human centric sensing by Android phones by Chua, Keng Guan.

Alternative credit scoring for the un(der)banked by Elrakabawy, S

“…My work contributes socially by improving access to finance for the un- and underbanked, as well as academically by filling gaps in research. A comprehensive empirical comparative demographic analysis of Company X's loan applicant base highlights social aspects (such as gender inequality) and emphasizes a lack and / or low access to finance. …”

Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…Infants of 8 to 10 months old (n = 18) were recruited and results showed that there were significant effects of eye- contact on neural synchrony (within-infant, within-adult, and infant-adult), but it was only found for within-infant synchrony in the full eye-contact condition. No significant findings were found between neural synchrony and statistical language learning. …”

Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…Most of the analyses concerning signed networks have focused on the balance theory, hence identifying frustration with undirected, triadic motifs having an odd number of negative edges; much less attention has been paid to their directed counterparts. To fill this gap, we focus on signed, directed connections, with the aim of exploring the notion of frustration in such a context. …”
