This paper summarizes the main areas of research within TA Weinberg, namely an investigation into code review ability and personality; an investigation into code comprehension and personality; and an investigation into the results from an online programming competition and personality. With regard to code review, it was discovered that there is a relationship between code review ability and per...

Organizations are increasingly engaged in competitive dynamics that are enabled or induced by IT. A key competitive dynamics question for many organizations is how to build a competitive advantage in turbulence with digital IT systems. While the literature has focused mostly on developing and exercising dynamic capabilities for planned reconfiguration of existing operational capabilities in fai...

This paper presents a case study where competitive e-learning strategies are used in the teaching of an undergraduate Database course in order to develop, in university students, the capacity to actively research and to lead their own learning process. The experience has been carried out in the spring semester (February-June 2007) and is based on the use of the QUEST system. This tool for activ...

Five methods that generate multiple prototypes from labeled data are reviewed. Then we introduce a new sixth approach, which is a modification of Chang’s method. We compare the six methods with two standard classifier designs: the 1nearest prototype (1-np) and 1-nearest neighbor (1-nn) rules. The standard of comparison is the resubstitution error rate; the data used are the Iris data. Our modif...

Highly developed technology and highly competitive global market highlight the important role of competitive advantages and operation performances in sustainable company operation. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) provides accurate operation cost and operation performance information. Rich literatures provide relevant research with cases study on Activity-Based Costing application, but the research...

We investigate the evolution and survival of decision making strategies for the Deterrence Game in a population of interacting agents. The Deterrence Game is a sequential, two player game that is used to study how player preference orderings affect the outcome in situations of conflict. Although there are twenty-four possible player preference orderings, only five are given serious theoretical ...

Hiring committees address the glut of highly qualified applicants for faculty positions by experimenting with new evaluation methods and adapting their expectations for today's increasingly competitive academic environment.

We report the simple synthesis and full investigation of a novel heparin binding dye, mallard blue, an arginine-functionalized thionine. This dye binds heparin in highly competitive media, including water with high levels of competitive electrolyte, buffered aqueous solution and human serum. The dye reports on heparin levels by a significant change in its UV-vis spectroscopic profile. Molecular...
