Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a context dependent, multi perspective multilevel trust measurement instrument to measure supply chain members’ trust. Design/methodology/approach – Since trust is a context dependent phenomenon and the level of trust between partners cannot be measured easily, a conceptual framework is developed to measure supply chain partners’ trust from risk...

We find the joint generalized singular value distribution and largest generalized singular value distributions of the β-MANOVA ensemble with positive diagonal covariance, which is general. This has been done for the continuous β > 0 case for identity covariance (in eigenvalue form), and by setting the covariance to I in our model we get another version. For the diagonal covariance case, it has ...

We present an improved comparison of the strong coupling of the gluon to light (ql = u+d+s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in avor-tagged samples of hadronic Z decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995. Flavor separation among primary qlql, c c, and b b nal states was made on the basis of the reconstructed mass of long-lived ...

In this paper we examine the role of the β-space property (equivalently of the MCM-property) in generalized ordered (GO-)spaces and, more generally, in monotonically normal spaces. We show that a GO-space is metrizable iff it is a β-space with a Gδ-diagonal and iff it is a quasidevelopable β-space. That last assertion is a corollary of a general theorem that any β-space with a σ-point-finite ba...
