Knowledge and information transfer have become important ingredients for an organisation’s competitive advantage. Knowledge management has emerged as an overarching strategy to enhance knowledge creation, information transfer, utilisation, and reticulation in order to generate innovation and improve organisational performance. Part of this strategy involves the creation of Communities of Practi...

The effect of the polymeric reticulation on the thermal stability of the piezoelectricity of a micro-structured PDMS piezo-electret was investigated. This new family of flexible piezoelectric materials with very low Young’s modulus is used for wearable sensors and energy harvester devices. The best thermal stability was obtained for the piezo-electret material made from the ratio 1:10 between t...

We describe the CT appearance of supraglottitis and its complications in three adults. The most common CT findings were thickening of the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, false and true vocal cords, obliteration of the preepiglottic fa, thickening of the platysma muscle, and reticulation of the subcutaneous fat. Multiple loculated fluid-density collections consistent with abscesses were seen in...

A project is presented whose aim is to develop a system that can recognise electrical symbols on a scanned-in township map. The design of reticulation networks inevitably involves merging the new network with an existing infrastructure, and the system proposed plans to automate a large part of this process which was previously performed manually. The use of Neural Networks to implement the Patt...

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the most used dermal today. Due to its safety, several types of products on market with different rheological properties. Recently a new Korean filler high hyaluronic acid concentration was launched in Brazil. The properties this caught our attention and encouraged use for global facial rejuvenation. We report clinical experience these highly concentrated cohes...

Thirty four infants with chronic lung disease of prematurity were reviewed and divided into two groups on the appearance of the chest radiograph. Type 1 disease (n = 19) was defined as homogeneous or patchy ill defined opacification in the lungs without coarse reticulation, and type 2 disease (n = 11) had the classical appearance of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Four patients could not be classif...

We give approximate counting formulae for the numbers of labelled general, tree-child, and normal (binary) phylogenetic networks on n vertices. These formulae are of the form 2 , where the constant γ is 32 for general networks, and 5 4 for tree-child and normal networks. We also show that the number of leaf-labelled tree-child and normal networks with ` leaves are both 2 log . Further we determ...

In this paper we present a bond graph model of a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor which represents the reaction kinetics as well as the heat and mass transport phenomena in the reactor. The consequences of reticulation of the phenomena and of the systematic use of the power conjugated variables on the formulation of the thermodynamic properties, the reaction kinetics and the energy and mass tran...

Phylogenetic methods have recently been applied to studies of cultural evolution. However, it has been claimed that the large amount of horizontal transmission that sometimes occurs between cultural groups invalidates the use of these methods. Here, we use a natural model of linguistic evolution to simulate borrowing between languages. The results show that tree topologies constructed with Baye...
