A Functional Perspective on Learning and Innovation: Investigating the Organization of Absorptive Capacity

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 ...

Structure, solution chemistry, antiproliferative actions and protein binding properties of non-conventional platinum(II) compounds with sulfur and phosphorus donors

Angela Casini

Twelve Pt(II) complexes with cis-PtP2S2 pharmacophores (where P-2 refers to two monodentate or one bidentate phosphane ligand and S-2 is a dithiolato ligand) were prepared, characterized and evaluated as potential antiproliferative agents. The various comp ...

Problem Structuring Methods in System Dynamics Modeling-A Cognitive Fit Perspective

Alain Wegmann, Arash Golnam, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska, Sérgio Viana

The knowledge residing in the mental models of clients and stakeholders is considered as a crucial source of information by system dynamicists. Despite the importance of this knowledge, the theory of SD does not provide practical means for eliciting and re ...

Integration of Eye-tracking Methods in Visual Comfort Assessments

Marilyne Andersen, Mandana Sarey Khanie

Discomfort glare, among different aspects of visual discomfort is a phenomenon which is little understood and hard to quantify. As this phenomenon is dependent on the building occupant’s view direction and on the relative position of the glare source, a de ...

Historical development of side-channel spillway in hydraulic engineering

Michael Pfister

Side-channels are a typical element of earth or rockfill dams to discharge floods sideways instead frontally, such as normally adopted for concrete dams. The side channel received attention from the hydraulics community from the 1920s, once the first large ...

Learning User Habits for Semi-Autonomous Navigation Using Low Throughput Interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Roland Siegwart, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Xavier Perrin

This paper presents a semi-autonomous navigation strategy aimed at the control of assistive devices (e.g. intelligent wheelchair) using low throughput interfaces. A mobile robot proposes the most probable action, as analyzed from the environment, to a huma ...

Deliverable 3.1: Report on Learning Structured Sparse Models

The aim of this work package (WP) is to explore approaches to learn structured sparse models, that is sparse models where the sparsity assumption seems not to be sufficient, or when there is hope to exploit some additional knowledge together with the spars ...

Learning to use novel objects: A training study on the acquisition of novel action representations

Michiel van Elk, Christian Pfeiffer

Many studies have suggested that the motor system is organized in a hierarchical fashion, around the prototypical end location associated with using objects. However, most studies supporting the hierarchical view have used well-known actions and objects th ...

Inflammasomes: current understanding and open questions

Andrea Ablasser

The innate immune system relies on its capability to detect invading microbes, tissue damage, or stress via evolutionarily conserved receptors. The nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing family of pattern recognition receptors inclu ...

Untangling the Electronic Band Structure of Wurtzite GaAs Nanowires by Resonant Raman Spectroscopy

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Martin Heiss, Emanuele Uccelli, Bernt Ketterer

In semiconductor nanowires, the coexistence of wurtzite and zinc-blende phases enables the engineering of the electronic structure within a single material. This presupposes an exact knowledge of the band structure in the wurtzite phase. We demonstrate tha ...
