Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Explanatory Variables of Outward Foreign Direct Investment: Panel EvidenceNicholas Apergis, Dimitrios Asteriou, Kalliroi PapathomaAlong with the traditional macroeconomic determinants of FDI, additional explanatory variables, such as the exchange rates, should be encountered in undertaking physical investment decisions, as these variables affect several comparative costs and the cost of lending. The goal of this study is to examine for the first time panel data evidence of Greek outward FDI flows directed to 16 EU … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdditive Manufacturing in the Aerospace IndustryLidong Wang, Reed Mosher, Patti DuettThe main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals in the aerospace industry are part consolidation; the reduction of lead time, the construction of complicated structures easily with a great Strength-to-Weight (S:W) ratio; production of parts on-demand with reduced inventory, uncertainty and the costs of supply chains. Ti6Al4V and nickel-based alloys are commonly used AM materials for aerospace parts. Ground-based … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2024 · 8,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDsPIC Based Power Assisted Steering Using Brushless Direct Current MotorG. R.P. Lakshmi, S. ParamasivamThis study illustrates the Electrically Assisted power Steering (EAS) using BLDC motor for a vehicle. Earlier the Electrically Assisted power Steering (EAS) was implemented with DSP. This study shows the usage of a dsPIC to control the BLDC motor with an encoder. The BLDC motor here is driven by dsPIC through a three phase inverter system.
