"The mission of the PRACE Research Infrastructure is to enable high impact scientific discovery and engineering research and development across all disciplines to enhance European competitiveness for the benefit of society. The paper presents the current state of the computational infrastructure, which is unique on the European level and procedures helping with the seamless access to the European HPC infrastructure: supercomputers, applications, storage. Several Polish computational grants have been called in the paper in order to present examples of the Polish domestic scientific engagement."

"Firms without research and development (R&D) have frequently been neglected by mainstream innovation research. The small number of existing studies provides only fragmented and sometimes even contradictory findings, because they assume that non-R&D-performing firms show a “typical”, homogeneous innovation pattern. Oliver Som challenges this assumption. Based on current firm-level data of the German industry, he provides pioneer quantitative evidence of five heterogeneous innovation patterns of non-R&D-performers. The findings impressively underline the need for future innovation research, management and policy to extend their view on innovation beyond the scope of R&D."

"The relationship between collaboration with competitors and goods innovation performance wasinvestigated along with the moderating effect of the innovating firm?s technological capability. Thehypothesis that collaboration with competitors has an inverted U-shaped relationship with goodsinnovation performance was tested using data on new goods introductions from 749 Iranian firms.The results support the balance between competition and collaboration by confirming that collaborationwith competitors contributes considerably to successful goods innovation. The positiveinfluences of co-optation certainly seem consistent with the cooperative arguments that collaborationwith competitors increases absorptive capacity, improves information exchange and facilitatesjoint problem solving. The results also show that unnecessary collaboration with competitorscan have a negative influence on innovation performance, raising concerns about opportunisticexploitation. The results support the existence of a bell-shaped relationship between co-opetitionand goods innovation performance. Technological capability and alliances with universities wereshown to weaken the relationship.Hubungan antara kolaborasi dengan pesaing dan kinerja inovasi barang diinvestigasi bersamaandengan efek moderasi kapabilitas inovasi teknologi perusahaan. Hipotesis bahwa kolaborasi denganpesaing memiliki hubungan berbentuk U terbalik dengan kinerja inovasi barang diuji menggunakandata pada produk baru dari 749 perusahaan Iran. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keseimbanganantara persaingan dan kolaborasi berkontribusi pada kesuksesan inovasi barang. Pengaruh positifdari kooptasi terlihat konsisten dengan argumentasi bahwa kolaborasi dengan pesaing meningkatkanabsorptive capacity, meningkatkan pertukaran informasi dan memfasilitasi penyelesaianmasalah bersama. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi yang tidak penting dengan pesaingdapat berpengaruh negatif terhadap hubungan berbentuk bel antara koopetisi dan kinerja inovasibarang. Kapabilitas teknologi dan aliansi dengan universitas juga mampu melemahkan hubungantersebut."

"This book is written to help college and university students enhance their pronunciation and communication skills. The matter in the book is divided into three parts–Computer Assisted Language Learning, The Sound System of English and Communication Skills. Part one deals with the uses of computers and information technology in developing language skills. Part two endeavours to help the students learn the appropriate pronunciation of English. The focus here is mainly on the practical aspects of English phonetics. The information covered in this part, it is hoped, will help in overcoming the Mother Tongue Influence (MTI). In the era of globalization, where you are expected to speak English with global intelligibility, Accent Neutralization or Accent Reduction has assumed greater importance than ever before. Accent neutralization/reduction attempts to reduce the Mother Tongue Influence (MTI) and makes spoken English sound closer to the American or British variety. Part three seeks to help students develop their communication skills. This section also provides practical tips for effective public speaking, preparing résumés, facing interviews, making presentations, participating in group discussions and debates. We believe that this book will not only meet the needs of the target group, but also be found equally useful by all those working towards improving their language and communication skills. The book draws upon our experience of teaching English. Most of the material has been drawn from our notes and from other different sources. Unfortunately, the sources were not properly noted or available; hence it became impossible to provide accurate acknowledgements."
