have distinct conceptions of individuality that insist on the fundamental relatedness of individuals to each other. The emphasis is on attending to others, fitting in, and harmonious interdependence with them. American culture neither assumes nor values such an overt connectedness among individuals

“What determines the scope of the firm? ” is one of the most fundamental questions in strategic management. We argue that, in addition to product relatedness, a focus on institutional relatedness—defined as an organization’s informal linkages with dominant institutions that confer resources

Three studies compared 10 candidate psychological needs in an attempt to determine which are truly most fundamental for humans. Participants described "most satisfying events " within their lives and then rated the salience of each of the 10 candidate needs within these events. Supporting

Automated approaches to measuring semantic similarity and relatedness can provide necessary semantic context information for information retrieval applications and a number of fundamental natural language processing tasks including word sense disambiguation. Challenges for the development

summarization in an unsupervised manner. However, there remain two fundamental challenges facing existing LM-based methods. One is how to construct sentence models involved in the LM framework more accurately without resorting to external information sources. The other is how to additionally take into account

-emotional needs brought by adolescents. This study concerns the role of the coach’s task- and ego-involving climate on the changes in 3 fundamental perceptions underlined by the self-determination theory (8): perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Contrary to the cross-sectional nature of the former

quantitative traits of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, the present study examined the influence of relatedness estimator and population structure on the estimation of heritability and genetic correlation under a regression method with 7 microsatellite loci. Significant heritability and genetic

A fundamental challenge in the study of learning and memory is to understand the role of existing knowledge in the encoding and retrieval of new episodic information. The impor-tance of prior knowledge in memory is demonstrated in the congruency effect—the robust finding wherein participants

of learning, a network with fundamental neural constraints comes to internalize the essential correlational structure of tonal music. After learning, the network was run through a range of experiments from the literature. The model provides a parsimonious account of a variety of empirical findings dealing

Abstract Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most ozone (O 3 )-sensitive crops. However, little is known about its genetic background of O 3 sensitivity, which is fundamental for breeding O 3 -resistant cultivars. Wild and cultivated species of winter wheat including donors of the A
