Relative absorptive capacity and interorganizational learning

by Peter J. Lane, Michael Lubatkin - STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT JOURNAL , 1998
"... Much of the prior research on interorganizational learning has focused on the role of absorptive capacity, a firm’s ability to value, assimilate, and utilize new external knowledge. However, this definition of the construct suggests that a firm has an equal capacity to learn from all other organizat ..."

positively related to interorgani-zational learning. The relative absorptive capacity measures are also shown to have greater explanatory power than the established measure of absorptive capacity, R&D spending.

Generating Representative Web Workloads for Network and Server Performance Evaluation

by Paul Barford, Mark Crovella , 1997
"... One role for workload generation is as a means for understanding how servers and networks respond to variation in load. This enables management and capacity planning based on current and projected usage. This paper applies a number of observations of Web server usage to create a realistic Web worklo ..."

workload generation tool which mimics a set of real users accessing a server. The tool, called Surge (Scalable URL Reference Generator) generates references matching empirical measurements of 1) server file size distribution; 2) request size distribution; 3) relative file popularity; 4) embedded file

End-to-end available bandwidth: Measurement methodology, dynamics, and relation with TCP throughput

by Manish Jain, Constantinos Dovrolis - In Proceedings of ACM SIGCOMM , 2002
"... The available bandwidth (avail-bw) in a network path is of major importance in congestion control, streaming applications, QoS verification, server selection, and overlay networks. We describe an end-to-end methodology, called Self-Loading Periodic Streams (SLoPS), for measuring avail-bw. The basic ..."

in heavily utilized paths, as well as in paths with limited capacity (probably due to a lower degree of statistical multiplexing). We finally examine the relation between avail-bw and TCP throughput. A persistent TCP connection can be used to roughly measure the avail-bw in a path, but TCP saturates the path

Measuring Bottleneck Link Speed in Packet-Switched Networks

by Robert L. Carter, Mark E. Crovella - PERFORMANCE EVALUATION , 1996
"... The quality of available network connections can often have a large impact on the performance of distributed applications. For example, document transfer applications such as FTP, Gopher and the World Wide Web suffer increased response times as a result of network congestion. For these applications, ..."
Abstract - Cited by 333 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart
, the document transfer time is directly related to the available bandwidth of the connection. Available bandwidth depends on two things: 1) the underlying capacity of the path from client to server, which is limited by the bottleneck link; and 2) the amount of other traffic competing for links on the path

The effect upon channel capacity in wireless communications of perfect and imperfect knowledge of the channel

by Muriel Médard - IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory , 2000
"... Abstract—We present a model for time-varying communication single-access and multiple-access channels without feedback. We consider the difference between mutual information when the receiver knows the channel perfectly and mutual information when the receiver only has an estimate of the channel. We ..."
Abstract - Cited by 271 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
. We relate the variance of the channel measurement error at the receiver to upper and lower bounds for this difference in mutual information. We illustrate the use of our bounds on a channel modeled by a Gauss–Markov process, measured by a pilot tone. We relate the rate of time variation

Rich feature hierarchies for accurate object detection and semantic segmentation

by Ross Girshick, Jeff Donahue, Trevor Darrell, Jitendra Malik
"... Object detection performance, as measured on the canonical PASCAL VOC dataset, has plateaued in the last few years. The best-performing methods are complex en-semble systems that typically combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context. In this paper, we propose a simple and scala ..."

and scalable detection algorithm that im-proves mean average precision (mAP) by more than 30% relative to the previous best result on VOC 2012—achieving a mAP of 53.3%. Our approach combines two key insights: (1) one can apply high-capacity convolutional neural net-works (CNNs) to bottom-up region proposals

Spectrophotometric quantitation of antioxidant capacity through the formation of a phosphomolybdenum complex: specific application to the determination of vitamin

by Pilar Prieto, Manuel Pineda, Miguel Aguilar - E,” Analytical Biochemistry , 1999
"... A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the quantitative determination of antioxidant capacity. The assay is based on the reduction of Mo(VI)to Mo(V) by the sample analyte and the subsequent formation of a green phosphate/Mo(V) complex atacidic pH. The method has been optimized and charac ..."

Absorptive capacity, learning, and performance in international joint ventures

by Peter J. Lane, Jane E. Salk, Marjorie A. Lyles - Strategic Management Journal , 2001
"... This paper proposes and tests a model of IJV learning and performance that segments absorptive capacity into the three components originally proposed by Cohen and Levinthal (1990). First, trust between an IJV’s parents and the IJV’s relative absorptive capacity with its foreign parent are suggested ..."
