The di erent identities of GIS and GIS di usion TAI
نویسنده
چکیده
GIS managers traditionally consider three perspectives of the nature of GIS when introducing GIS into an organization. When the GIS is developed to address focused and well de® ned problems of the organization, these perspectives adequately describe the changing identities of GIS in the study of its di usion. However when the GIS is developed to address strategic, but vaguely de® ned problems, as typically is the case of a corporate GIS, these perspectives are inadequate for describing it. Therefore a new perspective is developed for the corporate GIS and the signi® cance of the new perspective on GIS di usion research is discussed.

Long-Term Life of Ni/Cu Bellows: Effect of Diffusion on Thermomechanical Properties
The aim of this paper is to discuss di erent couplings between di usion, recrystallisation/grain growth, strain/stress, heat transfer and thermo-mechanical behaviour of metallic materials. The understanding of these di erent physical phenomena is needed to predict the long-term life of mechanical parts in components. Some results are presented and further studies are suggested to improve the ev...
متن کاملRandom Walks in Octants, and Related Structures
A di¤usion walk in Z2 is a (random) walk with unit step vectors !, ", , and #. Particles from di¤erent sources with opposite charges cancel each other when they meet in the lattice. This cancellation principle is applied to enumerate di¤usion walks in shifted half-planes, quadrants, and octants (a 3-D version is also considered). Summing over time we calculate expected numbers of visits and rs...

متن کاملValuation of N−stage investments under jump-di usion processes
In this paper we consider N−phased investment opportunities where the time evolution of the project value follows a jump-di usion process. An explicit valuation formula is derived under two di erent scenarios: in the rst case we consider xed and certain investment costs and in the second case we consider cost uncertainty and assume that investment costs follow a jump-di usion process.
متن کاملMicrostructure dependence of diusional transport
A simple and eective numerical method is proposed for simulating the temporal diusive mass transport process through a microstructure with arbitrary complexity described by a phase-®eld approach. The mass diusion through a given microstructure is modeled by a diusion equation with a variable diusion coecient, which is solved by an ecient and accurate semi-implicit spectral method. It is ...
