Traditional knowledge management mechanism focused on the re-usage of knowledge library. However, it lacks the ability of knowledge innovation and co-creation. Meanwhile, employee should experience the process recognition and formation of knowledge. Therefore, if therefore has any mechanism, which can be used to improve these problems, it will be helpful on improving the competition of industry...

Despite the consumers' increasing demand of technology-based innovations for making stores more appealing and the huge availability of advanced technologies, there is still a lack of research on the retailers' and employees' points of views towards the introduction of these systems. In fact, an efficient innovation should take care of both the final users/consumers' and the retailers/employees'...

Vol. 34 No. 5 • May 2009 • P&T® 243 (see the April issue of P&T, page 175). Ms. Levine sued and received a settlement from the clinic where the drug was administered. She also named Wyeth as a defendant, claiming that the drug’s label should have more clearly instructed clinicians against using an IV push injection. The label, which the FDA had approved, warned about inadvertent intra-arterial ...

We study the performance of a flexible manufacturing line producing multiple products under different material control strategies. Specifically, we compare the throughput versus average inventory characteristics when the line operates under pure pull and pure push strategies. Using simulation we show that the pure push strategy has a higher throughput for a given level of inventory than the pur...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of an acidic environment on dislocation resistance (push-out bond strength) of endosequence root repair material (errm putty and errm paste), a new bioceramic-based material, to that of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (mta).one-hundred twenty root dentin slices with standardized canal spaces were divided into 6 groups (n = 20 each) and filled with too...

background and aims. the single-cone technique has gained some popularity in some european countries. the aim of the present study was to compare the push-out bond strength of gutta-percha to root canal dentin with the single-cone and cold lateral compaction canal obturation techniques. materials and methods. the root canals of 58 human mandibular premolars were prepared using modified crown-do...

remote sensing using small spacecraft arising from multi-objective economic activity problems is getting more and more developed. these satellites require very accurate pointing to specific locations of interest, with high reliability and small latency. the space borne imaging systems always attempted to achieve the highest ground resolution possible with the available technology at the given t...

Single-well reactive tracer tests, such as the push-pull test are useful tools for characterising in-situ bioattenuation processes in contaminated aquifers. However, the analytical models that are used to interpret push-pull data may be over-simplified, and potentially overlook important processes responsible for the frequent discrepancy between predicted and observed results obtained from push...

Monitoring wound progress is essential for evaluating and documenting treatment outcomes. The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) was developed to track pressure ulcer (PU) progress but information about its utility for other types of chronic wounds is limited. A 10-month, descriptive, multicenter study was conducted to examine the responsiveness and concurrent validity of the PUSH when use...
