This study extends research on entrepreneurial behavior by investigating the relationship between the marketing strategy innovativeness (MSI) and new product performance in technology-based new ventures in China. Specifically, premised on contingent resource-based view we argue that MSI is a firm capability that must be bundled with external managerial relationships and be deployed in the appro...

the prayers of imam sajjad (as) have a special artistic style that contribute to a great body of our religious literature. therefore, it is essential to pay due attention to this aspect of the prayers also known as the prayer literature. in this paper, we try to analyze the imagery created through personification in the prayers of imam sajjad (as) with the aim of portraying emotion, movement an...

Introduction At one level, performance support can be described as the tools and resources we use to be successful. Performance support means our tools, our habits, our tricks-of-the-trade, our colleagues, our reference materials, our office environment: all the resources we rely upon and organize to help us become successful in our work. As an individual, I acquire and build tools for myself; ...

Nanomaterial science and design have shifted from generating single passive nanoparticles to more complex and adaptive multi-component nanohybrids. These adaptive nanohybrids (ANHs) are designed to simultaneously perform multiple functions, while actively responding to the surrounding environment. ANHs are engineered for use as drug delivery carriers, in tissue-engineered templates and scaffold...

MetaObject Protocols (M.O.P) recently deened for C++ Chi93a] do not t the needs of evolution in DataBases Management Systems (D.B.M.S.). In this paper, we present DyReCT, an extension of C++ that allows instances migration, reeection and run-time classes modiications. Thanks to a metalevel, these new functionalities are transparent for the user. DyReCT should fulll our future needs for data per...

Peatland surface motion is highly diagnostic of peatland condition. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) can measure this at the landscape scale but requires ground validation. This necessitates upscaling from point to areal measures (80 × 90 m) hampered by a lack data regarding spatial variability peat characteristics. Using nested precise leveling approach within two areas upland ...
