Our aim is to shed light on the consequences of KM strategies on firm’s innovation and corporate performance. Organizations are not aware of the real implications that KM may have. Our conclusions, based on an empirical study consisted of 310 Spanish organizations and structural equations modeling with LISREL 8.7, may help academics and managers in designing KM strategic programs in order to ac...

In the next generation of mobile communication networks (B3G) the using of effective handling of radio resources is supposed (channels, power and transmission rate) with simultaneous delivery of required services, in which the quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed. In this article we have described and simulated new BER based, SIR-frame based and SIR-slot based link adaptation algorithms. Algo...

The purpose of this study is to identify Knowledge Management (KM) dominant success factors in an academic institute. In today’s competitive business environment, KM is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in gaining a competitive advantage. To obtain such competitive advantage, companies must know how to manage organizational knowledge effectively and optimize the knowledge processe...

Die Staustufe Steinhavel bei OHW-km 64,3 ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Wasserwegs zwischen Berlin, Brandenburg und der Müritz war noch bis vor Kurzem in einem desolaten Zustand. Daher schrieb das Wasserstraßen-Neubauamt Berlin (WNA) den Ersatzneubau aus. Insgesamt werden fast 38 Mio. Euro investiert. Planungs-ARGE Steinhavel, bestehend aus IPROconsult GmbH PTW Planungsgemeinschaft Tief- Was...

Here we introduce a combined experimental and descriptive approach (termed resurrection ecology) to reconstructing historical perturbations, pointing out how direct tests with sediments and hatched resting eggs complement the traditional descriptive calculation of microfossil fluxes. In the Keweenaw Waterway, a freshwater estuary off Lake Superior, turn-of-the-century copper mining impacted the...

Adapting metabolic enzymes of microorganisms to low temperature environments may require a difficult compromise between velocity and affinity. We have investigated catalytic efficiency in a key metabolic enzyme (dihydrofolate reductase) of Moritella profunda sp. nov., a strictly psychrophilic bacterium with a maximal growth rate at 2 degrees C or less. The enzyme is monomeric (Mr=18,291), 55% i...

[1] Satellite radar interferometry data from 1995 to 2004, and airborne ice thickness data from 2002, reveal that the glaciers flowing into former Wordie Ice Shelf, West Antarctic Peninsula, discharge 6.8 ± 0.3 km/yr of ice, which is 84 ± 30 percent larger than a snow accumulation of 3.7 ± 0.8 km/yr over a 6,300 km drainage basin. Airborne and ICESat laser altimetry elevation data reveal glacie...

1 The 5,000-nautical mile (nmi) coastline of the wider Gulf of Guinea offers seemingly idyllic conditions for shipping. It is host to numerous natural harbors and is largely devoid of chokepoints and extreme weather conditions. It is also rich in hydrocarbons, fish, and other resources. These attributes provide immense potential for maritime commerce, resource extraction, shipping, and developm...
