The categories addressed include publicly-supported research conducted in universities and public sector research organizations; evaluations of linkages, especially those programs seeking to promote academic-industrial and public-private partnerships; and the evaluation of diffusion and industrial extension programs.
However, in a wide variety of natural and industrial situations, besides the usual diffusion, cross-diffusion between the two agents may also be important.
However, also in countries characterized by a large diffusion of industrial clusters, such as Italy, there are no operating EIPs.
At the same time, the claimed powerful support in tackling technical problems of any degree of difficulty conflicts with TRIZ diffusion in industrial settings, which is relatively low according to insights into product development practices.
At 130 °C, the common industrial dyeing temperature, the diffusion coefficient showed to be constant for the dyes tested, with D being about five times larger for the anthraquinone dye than for the benzodifuranone dye.
This is confirmed by the monthly numbers on industrial production where the diffusion index is at a high 70%, meaning most industrials are doing better, month after month for the past half year.
Detection of heavy metal cations in environment is of great importance, due to their diffusion from industrial sources and their treat to health.
In view of possible adjustments and coping strategies, one feasible way for developing countries to improve technological spillover is to choose industrial sectors with large diffusion effects for international trade activities.
According to Jean Gimpel, their high level of industrial technology facilitated the diffusion of new techniques: "Every monastery had a model factory, often as large as the church and only several feet away, and waterpower drove the machinery of the various industries located on its floor".
