TL;DR: The findings here suggest that to minimize the impact of future epidemics similar to COVID-19, the max number of days per year in which Italian provincial capitals can exceed the limits set for PM10 or for ozone, considering their meteorological conditions, is about 48 days.

TL;DR: The theoretical framework of this study can be generalised to explain one of the sources of innovation that supports technological and industrial change in a Schumpeterian world of innovation-based competition.

TL;DR: Overall, this study shows, for the first time, the evolution of the patterns of international scientific collaboration starting from initial results described by literature in the 1970s and 1990s and finds a convergence of these long-run collaboration patterns between the applied and basic sciences.

TL;DR: Results here suggest that high concentrations of air pollutants, associated with low wind speeds, may promote a longer permanence of the viral particles in the air, thus favouring an indirect means of diffusion of viral infectivity of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), in addition to the direct diffusion with human-to-human transmission dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the relationship between R&D expenditure and labor productivity across leading geoeconomic players, and found that when R&DI spending of business enterprise sector exceeds R&DB spending of government sector, the labor productivity tends to growth.
