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 ...
Intelligent query answering in Location-based Services refers to their capability to provide mobile users with personalized and contextualized answers. Personalization is expected to lead to answers that better match user's interests, as inferable from the ...
In this paper, the hybrid production planning & control method Double Speed Single Production Line (DSSPL) is presented, modelled and its performances evaluated and compared to classical Production Planning and Control methods (PPC). DSSPL combines JIT/kan ...
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 ...
Within the current context of globalisation, trasnationalism has acquired importance as a social phenomenon and an object of study, since it shows the value that the diasporas' own decentralized mechanisms have in promoting development in the countries of ...
In this paper, we examined the effect of knowledge interdependence among co-learners on knowledge convergence outcomes. Prior to collaboration, two partners read the same text in the independent condition while each of them read one of two complementary te ...
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 ...
This paper uses an evidence-based approach to assess the difficulties faced by developing country scientists in accessing the scientific literature. I compare backward citations patterns of Swiss and Indian scientists in a database of 43'150 scientific pap ...
In an empirical study, we provided (or not) pairs of students working in a remote collaborative learning situation with a knowledge awareness tool that provided learner A with learner B’s level of knowledge measured through a pre-test. We analyzed the effe ...
The repair of wounds is one of the most complex biological processes that occur during human life. After an injury, multiple biological pathways immediately become activated and are synchronized to respond. In human adults, the wound repair process commonl ...
