The empirical part of the study is based on a survey to 236 small and medium-sized companies, which represent 52% of that universe. Concerning the innovation strategy, it defines the most important factors of the technological innovation processes and analyses the causal relationship between strategy and structure, the role of innovation in cooperation, intercompany relationships and the dependence relationship in technological innovation capacities.

In addition, we uncover the underlying mechanism of how both indicators affect R&D investment through three financing sources. The results show that: (1) Environmental regulations can significantly promote R&D investment, while financial constraints have the opposite effects. (2) Among the three financing sources, environmental regulations promote R&D investment only by internal financing, while financial constraints inhibit R&D investment by all three financing sources.

In view of the rapid growth of global demand, TFT-LCD manufacturers face tremendous competition. In this context, how to configure the best resource allocation and create more profit tend to be the major issue. In this study, the TFT-LCD firms in China, Korea and Japan is analyzed. Based on the trend analysis by Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan, public database and information, financial statements and annual reports of these firms, we use improved Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in association with Window Analysis to measure their dynamic operating performance in China, Korea and Japan.

These structures which are formed by reproduced microorganisms and can be seen by eye are called colony. Colonies formed on the agar, creating images of different morphological characteristics depending on the microorganism and growth media. Colony counting which is required in many applications in areas such as biotechnology and pathology is boring, time consuming and prone to human error process when the large number of colonies counted by hand. In this article, the sample images collected from dairies in the Marmara region are studied on and segmentation methods for separating images of microorganism colonies which is used in the dairy industry for the determination of microbiological analysis of products, have been investigated by the computer-aided image processing techniques such as Otsu, Multi-Otsu, Color K-Means, Watershed, Gabor Filters, Graph Based, Lossy Compression, Random Walker, Texture Filters with proposed comparison method. It was concluded that existing segmentation methods with appropriate parameters can be used to solve this problem and in comparison to other algorithms, Watersheed segmentation algorithm has better performance values than others.
