We investigate the intra-organizational antecedents of firm-level absorptive capacity (AC). Specifically, we examine how the functional areas of R&D, manufacturing and marketing contribute to the absorption of knowledge coming from different external knowl ...
In this communication, the coupling matrix synthesis of dissipative microwave filters is analyzed and compared to the synthesis of lossless filters. A modified definition of the vector matrix product allows using the same synthesis procedure in both cases. ...
The conventional CAD/CAM approach to design does not show the essential spatial relationships between user and product that are crucial for intuitive design analysis. As populations age and the home appliance market stagnates, Universal Design principles i ...
3,6-Anhydro-1-(aryl or alkylamino)-1-deoxy-D-sorbitol derivatives have been prepared in four steps from isosorbide, a by-product from the starch industry. The inhibitory activities of these new compounds have been evaluated towards 13 glycosidases. A first ...
This paper considers disassembly scheduling, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of the end-of-use/life products to be disassembled while satisfying the demand for their parts obtained from disassembling the products over a planning ...
An approach to the synthesis of polyhydroxyazepane derivatives from sugar-based epoxyamides or epoxyalcohols, in which the total regioselective epoxide opening by nitrogen nucleophiles is the key step, is described. Thus, novel polyhydroxyazepane carboxami ...
Polyketides show interesting biological activities and therefore represent an important class of natural products. The necessity of their diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis led to the development of numerous methodologies. A brief overview of this t ...
Graphene nanoribbons were synthesized by oxidative unzipping of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The nanoribbons produced from SWCNTs were characterized using FT-IR, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. For the morphological study of the produ ...
We consider schemes for obtaining truthful reports on a common but hidden signal from large groups of rational, self-interested agents. One example are online feedback mechanisms, where users provide observations about the quality of a product or service s ...
We investigate the invariance of posterior features estimated using MLP trained on auxiliary corpus towards different data condition and different distance measures for matching posterior features in the context of template-based ASR. Through ASR studies o ...
