Purpose – The paper examines what are the effects of the different types of cross-cultural training (CCT) on expatriates’ adjustment and whether prior international experience (IE) and cultural distance (CD) have a moderator effect on the effectiveness of CCT. Design/methodology/approach – In a quantitative approach the paper examines the effect of four different types of CCT on the three facet...

In this article, we present GeNCA: our Generic Negotiation of Contracts API and three different negotiation applications achieved with it. The first one is an auction application that runs on a multi-agent platform. The second one is an application for choosing a restaurant for a dinner between friends. This application uses e-mail communications. The third application is a negotiation game ins...

o bjectives: heat-polymerized acrylic resin has been the most commonly used denture base material for over 60 years. however, the mechanical strength of acrylic resin is not adequate for long-term clinical performance of dentures. consequently, fracture is a com- mon clinical occurrence, which often occurs in the midline of denture base.this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cold cure and...

The scientific community is shifting its focus towards construction materials with a low carbon footprint, such as alkali-activated concrete (AAC). present study conducts an environmental impact assessment using the cradle-to-grave approach to examine implications of three different types ambient-cured AACs varied combinations precursors. 28-day compressive strength values mixes used for compar...

GLASS FIBERS are among the most versatile industrial materials known today. They are readily produced from raw materials, which are available in virtually unlimited supply (Ref 1). All glass fibers described in this article are derived from compositions containing silica. They exhibit useful bulk properties such as hardness, transparency, resistance to chemical attack, stability, and inertness,...
