The use of the zebrafish as a model organism for the analysis of cardiac development is no longer proof-of-principle science. Over the last decade, the identification of a variety of zebrafish mutations and the subsequent cloning of mutated genes have revealed many critical regulators of cardiogenesis. More recently, increasingly sophisticated techniques for phenotypic characterization have fac...

This paper establishes the importance of competitive performance for software firms and highlights the potential of reusability in increasing competitive performance. The importance of reusability is discussed by examining its effect on three different software process dimensions flexibility, productivity and predictability. From the literature, a research model is developed and used as the bas...

This paper reports the results of an extensive empirical investigation on the role of project scale (reflected in consortium size and in project budget) on various performance dimensions of publicly funded collaborative research and development (R&D) projects. Recent trends in European research policy are founded on the premise that such scale economies do exist, hence the emphasis placed on th...
