Multi-layer Incremental Induction

This paper describes a multi-layer incremental induction algorithm , MLII, which is linked to an existing nonincremental induction algorithm to learn incrementally from noisy data. MLII makes use of three operations: data partitioning, generalization and reduction. Generalization can either learn a set of rules from a (sub)set of examples, or reene a previous set of rules. The latter is achieve...

Fujifilm Research & Development

We developed a new thermal photo printing material. This new paper improves image quality, handling and reduces environmental impact during the production phase. This new paper utilizes a laminated base paper with the same high level of whiteness as silver halide photo print paper. The multi-layers, which contain a heat insulation layer, are coated on this base paper by using a production metho...

Tailor-made biofunctionalized nanoparticles using layer-by-layer technology.

Layer-by-layer (LBL) technique is a well-established method for the formation of nanofilms on planar surfaces, as well as on micro-sized colloidal particles. For surface functionalization of nanoparticles, it is a very recent area of research receiving great interest due to the advantage of obtaining fine control over the shell composition, charge and thickness, offering several applications in...

Alliance portfolio diversity, radical and incremental innovation: The moderating role of technology management

In this paper we test whether the use of a set of technology management tools (TM-tools), a specification of alliance portfolio capability, influences the relationship between alliance portfolio diversity and a firm’s innovation outcomes. With this model, we add to the theoretical literature on the performance effects of alliance portfolio diversity and specific contingencies allowing to approp...
