Mediating Role of Exchange Rates in FDI-Growth Linkages: ARDL Evidence from Tanzania (1990–2023) by Festo. R. Mmasi, Mohamed Awadh Mohamed, Jacqueline Peter Temba

“…These findings imply that while exchange rate management is crucial for short-term macroeconomic stability, the effectiveness of FDI in promoting growth depends on the country’s absorptive capacity and structural readiness. The study recommends targeted policies aimed at stabilizing exchange rates, improving institutional quality, and aligning FDI with national development priorities to fully harness its growth-enhancing potential. …”

The impedance of anodic pro-cesses on passive NiSi-electrode in sulfuric fluoride containing electrolyte by V. V. Panteleeva, A. B. Shein, O. Yu. Kamenschikov

“…The mechanism and kinetics of anodic oxidation of the Ni-Si electrode in solutions of 0.5 M H2SO4 + (0,005 – 0,05)M NaF in the passive state were investigated by methods of polarization and impedance measurements.Theimpedance spectra are interpreted on the assumption about the formation of the bilayer oxide film on the surface of the silicide nickel, the outer layer which has a porous structure.The growth of the porous layer with the increase of the electrode potential in the investigated solutions is linearly (constant anodizing is 2.2 nm/V).The increase in NaF concentration leads to a decrease in the thickness of the porous layer. …”
