Location and the multinational enterprise: A neglected factor

by John H. Dunning - Journal of International Business Studies , 1998
"... This art ic le f irs t traces the changing world economic scenario for international busi-ness over the past two decades, and then goes on to examine its implications for the location of foreign direct investment and multinational enterprise activ-ity. It suggests that many of the explanations of th ..."

The concept of relevance in IR

by Pia Borlund - Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology , 2003
"... This article introduces the concept of relevance as viewed and applied in the context of IR evaluation, by presenting an overview of the multidimensional and dy-namic nature of the concept. The literature on relevance reveals how the relevance concept, especially in regard to the multidimensionality ..."

Distributed Synchrony- Understanding the Brain at the Single Cell Level

by Zuohua Zhang, Dana H. Ballard
"... How does the brain process information? Can it be understood at the single cell level? This paper pro-poses a predictive coding model based on the use of distributed synchronous spikes. We test the hypothesis that information is encoded in neurons ’ probability of firing, which are updated spatial-t ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
-temporally at precise moments. Therefore, synchronous spikes are distributed across groups of cells in a time-varying fashion. The dy-namic nature of synchronous oscillation may account for the relative difficulty of detecting precisely timed spikes in experiments as well as the irregular firing patterns of single

A Hyper-Heuristic Approach for Efficient Resource Scheduling in Grid

by S. Mary, Saira Bhanu, N. P. Gopalan
"... Abstract: Efficient execution of computations in grid can require mapping of tasks to processors whose performance is both irregular and time varying because of dy-namic nature. The task of mapping jobs to the available computing nodes or schedul-ing of the jobs on the grid is a NP complete problem. ..."

Distributed constraint optimization for large teams of mobile sensing agents

by Roie Zivan, Robin Glinton, Katia Sycara - In Proceedings of IAT , 2009
"... Abstract. A team of mobile sensors can be used for coverage of targets in differ-ent environments. The dynamic nature of such an application requires the team of agents to adjust their locations with respect to changes which occur. The dy-namic nature is caused by environment changes, changes in the ..."

Uncover the Transient Transcriptional Regulations by a Novel Sliding Window Correlation Strategy∗

by Jiguang Wang, Yong Wang, Xianwen Ren, Wei Guo, Luonan Chen
"... Uncovering the regulation of gene transcription is critical to understand the mechanisms of biological systems. Thanks to the rapid data accumulation by new efficient experimental technolo-gies, many computational methods have been proposed to decipher the transcriptional regulation. However, one of ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
the concept of edge profile describing the dy-namic nature of regulation based on the sliding window strategy, which is useful for understanding cell differentiation, cell pathological changes and other cytologic atypia.

An Adaptive Membership Algorithm for Application Layer Multicast

by Bin Rong, Ibrahim Khalil, Zahir Tari
"... Due to deployment difficulty of network layer multicast, application layer multicast is considered to be a good sub-stitute for massive P2P video/audio streaming in large net-works. However, in application layer multicast, the par-ticipating users join and leave the on-going session at will. Therefo ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. Therefore, a scalable and reliable group membership management algorithm is necessary due to the highly dy-namic nature of the overlay network, built on top of the Internet. Gossip-based algorithms seem to be a solution. However, most gossip-based membership management al-gorithms lack flexibility

Examination of the Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Population Structure during Human Infection

by Firdausi Qadri, C James M. Fleckenstein, F David A. Raskoa
"... ABSTRACT Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) can cause severe diarrhea and death in children in developing countries; however, bacterial diversity in natural infection is uncharacterized. In this study, we explored the natural population variation of ETEC from individuals with cholera-like diarrhea. Geno ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
with similar clinical presentations suggests that some isolates are particularly suited for virulence. The identifi-cation of multiple genomically diverse isolates with variable virulence factor profiles from a single subject highlights the dy-namic nature of ETEC, as well as a potential weakness

P.: Self-Adaptive Component-Based Transaction Commit Management

by Patricia Serrano-alvarado, Romain Rouvoy, Inria Futurs - In: 4th Middleware Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM). Volume 116 of AICPS , 2005
"... For years, transactional protocols have been defined for par-ticular application needs. Traditionally, when implementing a transaction service, a protocol is chosen and it remains the same during the system execution. Nevertheless, the dy-namic nature of nowadays application contexts (e.g., mobile, ..."

Functionalmapping of seasonal transition in perennial plants

by Libo Jiang, Ke Mao , 2014
"... Unlike annuals, all perennial plants undergo seasonal transitions during ontogeny. As an adaptive response to sea-sonal changes in climate, the seasonal pattern of growth is likely to be under genetic control, although its underlying genetic basis remains unknown. Here, we develop a computational mo ..."
