The purpose of this research is to identify the process of knowledge transfer and to examine the role of IT human capability in the knowledge transfer in IT outsourcing situations. To do this, a research model of knowledge transfer process was built for both of client and vendor sides and tested using the survey data from both of clients and vendors. It is found that IT human capability is cruc...

Recent research on search costs in electronic markets documents that the wide use of Internet has reduced consumer search costs and has increased market efficiency. This study, considering scholarly publications as a special type of product, investigates the Internet’s impact on knowledge usage and transfer in academic communities. Based on the work on search theory and knowledge transfer, this...

We measured single-breath CO transfer factor (TLCO) and alveolar oxygen partial pressure (PAO2) six times at each of three fractions of inspired oxygen (FIO2) (0.17, 0.21, 0.26) in twelve healthy subjects, to determine whether one FIO2 would have the advantage of producing less variable TLCO results than the others. Measured TLCO was adjusted for the increase in carboxyhaemoglobin during the te...

using a new numerical model, the pump-to-signal relative intensity noise (rin) transfer in singlepumpfiber optical parametric amplifiers for low modulation frequencies is investigated. the model includesfiber loss, pump depletion, as well as the gain saturation, and therefore, it can describe the practicalcircumstances associated with various applications of fiber optical parametric amplifiers....

Recent technological improvements and application opportunities have fueled increased interest in the development and deployment of underwater acoustic sensor networks. Deployment efforts have been impeded by the prohibitive monetary cost and high power consumption of existing acoustic hardware. Alternately, we propose underwater networks that rely on widely available speakers and microphones i...

This paper introduces a novel multiobjective approach for capacity benefit margin (CBM) assessment taking into account tie-line reliability of interconnected systems. CBM is the imperative information utilized as a reference by the load-serving entities (LSE) to estimate a certain margin of transfer capability so that a reliable access to generation through interconnected system could be attain...

The main aim of this paper is to determine to analyze the electrical transfer capability among different electricity markets using repeated power flow technique. Instead of minimizing the total cost in the conventional problem, in the paper, the transfer capability between two markets or two electricity supply and generation areas is maximized. To reduce the time required to compute transfer ca...

The main idea of this paper is to illustrate the interaction between various kinds of power system operational limits and corrective actions. In particular, the paper focuses on the interplay between line flow limits and active generation redispatch as the corrective action. The proposed methodology handles a wide range of flow limits by explicit inclusion of line flow equations into the set of...
