ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My half a decade in Georgia Tech was the most precious and valuable time in my life. This dissertation is the result of not only countless nights to roll carts out, but also unconditional support from my beloved wife and daughter. I wouldn't have been able to stand here without their love and sacrifice. Numerous people have helped and supported me to complete this dissertation. ...

Sociomateriality is on everyone's lips these days. Since Orlikowski (2006; 2007; 2009), together with Scott (Orlikowski and Scott 2008; Scott and Orlikowski 2009) first introduced this term in organisation studies and in information systems (IS) research, we count an impressive number of contributions on this topic along with calls for papers in renowned journals and conferences. Without going ...

In this paper we attempt to find and investigate the most general class of posets which satisfy a properly generalized version of the Hofmann-Mislove theorem. For that purpose, we generalize and study some notions (like compactness, the Scott topology, Scott open filters, prime elements, the spectrum etc.), and adjust them for use in general posets. Then we characterize the posets satisfying th...

The judgment of Sir William Scott in Dalrymple v Dalrymple has been lauded by subsequent judges and academic writers, and is frequently cited as authority for the proposition that under the canon law the exchange of vows in words of the present tense was sufficient to create a marriage that was valid for all purposes.
