A large and growing body of empirical research shows that social relationships and the networks these relationships constitute are influential in explaining the processes of knowledge creation, diffusion, absorption and use. We refer to such networks as “k ...
The thermal dynamics induced by ultrashort laser pulses in nanoscale systems, i.e., all-optical time-resolved nanocalorimetry is theoretically investigated from 300 to 1.5 K. We report ab initio calculations describing the temperature dependence of the ele ...
Learning a category from few examples is a challenging task for vision algorithms, while psychological studies have shown that humans are able to generalise correctly even from a single instance (one-shot learning). The most accredited hypothesis is that h ...
Thanks to decades of research, gait analysis has become an efficient tool. However, mainly due to the price of the motion capture systems, standard gait laboratories have the capability to measure only a few consecutive steps of ground walking. Recently, w ...
Understanding the initial steps during ultrafast molecular reactions involving large spin state changes is a vital goal in structural dynamics research. These involve knowledge of the geometric structure of the system. Ultrafast X-ray absorption spectrosco ...
New firms are endowed with knowledge and experience at birth through the human capital of their founder(s). Existing empirical research suggests that this pre-entry knowledge and experience will influence the firm's chances of survival; however, the mechan ...
Corporate venture capital (CVC), direct minority equity investments made by established companies in privately held startups, has become an important strategic tool for many large companies. In particular, firms often pursue CVC investing as a way to learn ...
The present study is part of a project aiming at empirically investigating the process of modeling the partner’s knowledge (Mutual Knowledge Modeling or MKM) in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) settings. In this study, a macro-collaborative ...
Priorities are used to control the execution of systems to meet given requirements for optimal use of resources, e.g., by using scheduling policies. For distributed systems, it is hard to find efficient implementations for priorities; because they express ...
Mathematics forms bridges between knowledge, tradition, and contemporary life. The continuous development and growth of its many branches, both classical and modern, permeates and fertilizes all aspects of applied science and technology, and so has a vital ...
