nowadays, innovation is one of the most important factors for a business to survive. due to rapid changes and short life cycle of technology in information and communication technology (ict) companies, considerable attention is given to innovation. this study aims to identify and rank the impact factors on open innovation success in ict firms. this practical research is quantitative and uses th...

Here we report a web server, the DelPhi web server, which utilizes DelPhi program to calculate electrostatic energies and the corresponding electrostatic potential and ionic distributions, and dielectric map. The server provides extra services to fix structural defects, as missing atoms in the structural file and allows for generation of missing hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen placement and the co...

clonality V.0.4 is a program for testing heterozygosity-genet size relationships in clonal organisms using a randomization procedure. The software has been developed under the Borland Delphi developing environment and a Windows-executable version is freely downloadable from http://gemi.mpl.ird.fr/SiteSGASS/Prugnolle/ClonalityPage.html. The program compares the observed F(IS) of the population w...

Recent measurements of inclusive and exclusive semileptonic b branching ratios are reviewed. Model-independent analyses from ARGUS and CLEO connrm the value B(b ! ``X) = 10:4%, while new analyses from ALEPH obtain higher values above 11%. The diierence is not consistent with measured values of b hadron lifetime. New measurements of B(B ! D ? ``) from CLEO and ALEPH are in good agreement. First ...

The Delphi Method of group communication was used with experienced distance education stakeholders in the United States from the areas of research, policy, and practice to identify priorities in K–12 distance education over the next five years. Data from the three rounds of this study were organized and compared using descriptive statistics. The results of the analyses by statement and by subsc...

Until recently, many manufacturers of electronic products solved the problem of end-of-life (EOL) product disposal by utilising landfill sites. However, rapidly decreasing landfill capacity, and legislation controlling the disposal of waste electrical and electronic materials has focused attention upon environmentally friendly methods of product disposal and renewal. This paper summarises these...

Introducing object-oriented programming to old-style programmers is a rather hard task. This paper shows how this job was done at BMD Steyr, Austrians leading producer of accountancy software. A special course for former Cobol programmers was offered. This course is based on the principle that one should first learn data abstraction before one starts with object-oriented programming. Its struct...

In this study, the general transport equation was subjected to discretization by using the central difference, upwind, hybrid, power-law, exponential scheme and QUICK scheme methods and then solved by using a program prepared in Delphi programming software. In the solution, three different grid systems of 80x100, 160x200 and 320x400 from nodal points were used. The numerical results obtained fo...

Information systems (IS) departments face many challenges in today’s rapidly changing environment. One approach to understanding the challenges faced by IS departments is to survey IS managers to elicit what they consider key issues. Key issues in IS management surveys have been conducted for many years in many nations and regions. However, most key issues surveys seem to lack a theoretical bas...
