It is essential to have a fast, reliable, and energy-efficient connection between wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Control specifications, networking layers, media access control, and physical layers should be optimised or...
Did firm age, experience, and access to finance count? SME performance after the global financial crisis

This paper examines the relationships between firm age and entrepreneurs experience on SME performance after the 2008/09 global financial crisis. We find that in general the crisis had a long-lasting scarring effect on the...

What really happens to small and medium-sized enterprises in a global economic recession? UK evidence on sales and job dynamics
This article uses UK data to consider how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)1 coped during the recent financial crisis. This is important, as SMEs are major contributors to job creation, but are vulnerable to falling...

The decrotonylase FoSir5 facilitates mitochondrial metabolic state switching in conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum.
Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most important pathogenic fungi with a broad range of plant and animal hosts. The first key step of its infection cycle is conidial germination, but there is limited information available on the...
