Abstract: Whenever the fabrication process consists of several steps and the dynamic modification of individual steps or step sequences of the process is allowed, inter-cell feedback and feedforward control can both be utilized to improve the quality of the fabrication process. Indeed, feedback and feed-forward control have been identified as important features of the semiconductor manufacturin...

This study investigates the relationship between inter-organizational knowledge-sharing and innovation performance based on resource-based theory network embedded theory. It aims to examine mediating effect of characteristics in performance. Through quantitative study, data is collected from 275 firms analyzed through regression analysis. The results reveal that has a positive enterprise capabi...

Objectives: This study describes a single subject design (ABA) that shows the effective use of constraint induced movement therapy in improvement of quality and performance of in-hand manipulation skills for a 10 year old boy and a 9 years old girl with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as Dickerson (2007) showed it in arm movement and function. Methods: To determine the effectiveness of CIMT by th...

Hazard analysts and risk managers of natural perils, such as earthquakes, landslides and floods, need to access information from sensor networks surveying their regions of interest. However, currently information about these networks is difficult to obtain and is available in varying formats, thereby restricting accesses and consequently possibly leading to decision-making based on limited info...

BACKGROUND Advanced Access has been strongly promoted as a means of improving access to general practice. Key principles include measuring demand, matching capacity to demand, managing demand in different ways and having contingency plans. Although not advocated by Advanced Access, some practices have also restricted availability of pre-booked appointments. AIM This study compares the strateg...
