Two biokinetic models (\circled1 Mrichaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive inhibition \circled2 with both competitive inhibition and Haldane inhibition) for reductive dechlorination were developed and compared with results from batch kinetic tests conducted over a wide range of PCE and TCE concentrations with two different dechlorinating cultures. At PCE concentrations lower than 300 $\mu$M, both model simulated the experimental results well. However, The kinetic model that incorporated both competitive and Haldane inhibitions much better simulated experimental data for PCE concentrations greater than 300-400 $\mu$M, and TCE concentrations at half its solubility limit (4000 $\mu$M). The PM culture showed Haldane inhibition constants of 900, 6000, 7000 $\mu$M for TCE, c-DCE and VC, indicating very weak Haldane inhibition for c-DCE and VC, while the EV culture had lower Haldane inhibition constants for TCE, c-DCE, and VC of 900, 750, and 750 $\mu$M, respectively. The BM culture had better transformation abilities than the individual cultures over a wide range of PCE and TCE concentrations. Modeling results indicated that a combination of competitive and Haldane inhibition kinetics is required to simulate dechlorination over a broad range of concentrations up to the solubility limits of PCE and TCE.

What is the national competitive power\ulcorner What are the determinants of national competitive advantage\ulcorner In order to find these problems, this study was initiated theoretically through the international trade theory and international managerial strategic theory. The flow of studies, in connection with these competitive advantage, come into industries competitive advantage from national competitive advantage. It is understood that the flow of studies is based on the change of paradigm about the international industry environment. Today, the international industry environment has been changed into vigorous situation with the new trade system such as globalization, UR negotiation, WTO system instead of GATT. Among these environments, all enterprises in any industries should try to enhance their benefit, income profits and develop their management strategy, because it is essential for them to keep and make a profit in order to be competitive against all other rivaling enterprises. According to researchers and the ages of history, the concept and determinants of competitive advantage have been dissimiliar as followings. 1) Theory of absolute advantage : Absolute Product Cost. 2) Theory of comparative advantage : Comparative Product Cost. 3) Theory of reciprocal demand : the Reciprocal Demand Structure. 4) Theory of Hechsher-Ohlin : Factor Endowment. 5) Paradox of Leontief : the Quality of Factor Endowment. 6) Theory of technological gap : R & D. 7) Technological gap model : The Technological Gap. 8) Theory of the product life cycle : Product Life Cycle. 9) Christensen's study : Firm's character & manager's character. 10) Monopolistic Advantage Theories : Monopolistic Advantage 11) Electic theory : Ownership, location and internalization specific advantages. 12) Theory of value chain : Cost advantage, Differentiation, Focus. However all these theories have the limit of illustration regarding today's competitive situation, the Porter's theory shows well the determinants of competitive advantage with competitive strategy. Therefore, the analysis of the competitive advantage for maritime industry should be studied by the determinants of competitive advantage of nations

For venturing into international markets, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have not only emphasized internal resources but entrepreneurial orientation has also become the need of the day due to its significant role in increasing firm's competitive capabilities. Although research indicates that the competitive strategies can significantly impact export performance, minor attention is given to the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, business competitive strategy and export performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study scrutinizes the effect of each dimension of entrepreneurial orientation (i.e., innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness) and each of generic competitive strategies (i.e., cost leadership and differentiation) on the export performance of Chinese SMEs. And we investigated the moderating effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. We surveyed 217 Chinese SMEs through a structured questionnaire. For the data analysis and hypotheses testing, we used AMOS. 27. The findings display that differentiation and cost leadership strategies significantly improve export performance. The innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness also spur Chinese SME's export performance. Further we find that adding entrepreneurial orientation significantly improves our model of the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. Thus, our study extends the entrepreneurial orientation literature and provides interesting new insights into how entrepreneurial orientation helps firms create more successful export operations.

CM시장에서의 경쟁이 심화되고 있는 상황에서 CM기업이 경쟁우위를 점하는 것은 매우 중요한 기업 현안이다. 이를 위해서는 적합한 경쟁전략을 갖추어야 하고 이를 통해 지속적으로 경쟁우위를 확보할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 CM시장에서 경쟁우위를 점하기 위해 CM기업들이 중요하게 여기는 경쟁전략요소를 분석하고 이들 경쟁전략요소에서 나타나는 주요 특징과 시사점을 도출하는데 있으며 마이클 포터(Michael Porter)의 경쟁전략모델을 분석방법론으로 활용하였다. 연구 결과, 상위그룹에서는 차별화전략을 중요시 여기는 반면, 하위그룹에서는 집중화전략을 중요시 여기는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 원가우위전략은 상하위 그룹에서 동일하게 상대적으로 중요도가 낮은 경쟁전략으로 인식되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 상하위 그룹에 따라 각 경쟁전략요소의 세부적인 순위에는 차이가 있었지만 종합적으로 보면 특화된 CM서비스 제공이 중요한 경쟁전략요소로 인식되고 있었다. CM기업의 경쟁전략요소에 대한 이해는 현재 CM기업들이 중요하게 생각하는 경쟁전략의 방향성과 내용을 파악할 수 있게 하며 향후 자사(自社)의 경쟁전략 수립을 위해 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

Different network provides different service. To maximize the profit, heterogeneous networks form a whole, which may either compete or cooperate with each other. In this paper, the healthcare monitor network architecture is introduced to build the competitive and cooperative mechanisms of heterogeneous networks which contain three networks, namely, cellular network, WLAN and WMAN. This paper considers the natural growth rate of the network with competitive and cooperative effects. Then, the stability of the proposed model and its equilibrium points are analyzed by the ordinary differential principle. Finally, simulation results show that the natural growth rate cannot increase the profit of the network, but effective cooperative among heterogeneous networks can increase the profit of each network, and competitive may decrease the profit of each network.
