In the way of growing and developing firms especially high-tech firms, on many occasions manager of firm is mainly involved in solving problems of his business and decision making about executive activities of the firm, while besides executive measures, attention to planning of firm's success and growth way and application of long experience and sagacity in designing business model are vital an...

Giving the fact that hi-tech products as a trade product have become quite crucial and critical in the growth of economies in many nations, the paper took electronic equipment manufacturing industry as an example. The aim of this study is to investigate the competitiveness of the selected electronic equipment manufacturing sectors in China in comparison with selected 19 countries in the world b...

This paper describes the dietary consumption of vegetables and legumes in Greece during the period 1950 to 2005. All dimensions of alimentary consumption patterns of vegetables and legumes are examined here with a specific focus on: a) their natural characteristics; b) technical features of the production process (primary, secondary and tertiary transformation processes); and c) socio-economic ...

UNLABELLED Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is emerging as a promising technology for profiling cell-to-cell variability in cell populations. However, the combination of technical noise and intrinsic biological variability makes detecting technical artifacts in scRNA-seq samples particularly challenging. Proper detection of technical artifacts is critical to prevent spurious results during downs...

XTATIC is a lightweight extension of C⋕ with native support for statically typed XML processing. It features XML trees as built-in values, a refined type system based on regular types à la XDUCE, and regular patterns for investigating and manipulating XML. We describe our experiences using XTATIC in a real-world application: a program for transforming XMLSPEC, a format used for authoring W3C te...

“. . . each technical advance over the past century has reaffirmed that repeated patterns of structure and function are seen at every level, from molecule to cell to circuit, and that many of these patterns are common across cortical areas and species. In this context, the concept of a canonical circuit, like the concept of hierarchies of processing, offers a powerful unifying principle that li...

This paper describes a catalogue of patterns for multichannel management: functional structures for designing organizational and technical solutions that help organizations to manage and align the various information channels they use in communicating with their customers. The paper outlines the general structure of the catalogue, describes a small number of these patterns in more detail and sh...

This report provides formalization of the Invariant Refinement Method. In particular, it formally describes the individual invariant patterns w.r.t. (soft) real-time constraints and provides formulation, as well as proofs of theorems related to refinement among these patterns. This work was partially supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic project P202/11/0312. This work was also pa...

Self testing of integrated circuits by random patterns has several technical and economical advantages. But there exists a large number of circuits which cannot be randomly tested, since the fault coverage achieved that way would be too low. In this paper we show that this problem can be solved by unequiprobable random patterns, and an efficient procedure is presented compu ting the specific op...
