The business press is full of examples of how firms use business models to identify and frame or reshape new markets. Yet to-date our understanding of how business models affect market-making has not received much consideration by the marketing literature. This papers sets out to explore the use of business models in market-making through an assimilation of the business model and market-making ...

This paper presents the most important issues relating to the infl uence of mineral fertilizers on both the natural environment and human and animal health. The physiological, environmental and economic impact of fertilizer production and application, resulted from a low assimilation of mineral components by crops, has been described. The research on the development and production of a large an...

It is well touted that embedding information technology (IT) capabilities in supply chain processes would allow firms to derive competitive advantage. Yet the outcomes of such embeddedness vary greatly across companies. Investigating how a firm configures appropriate IT capabilities with supply chain integration (SCI) to achieve superior performance is of significance. Drawing upon the dynamic ...

Much effort has gone on in the hydrodynamic modeling community to build oceanic models of the littoral region. The spectral shoaling wave SWAN model, the phase-preserving shoaling wave Boussinesq models, and the DELFT3D flow model are all examples of such development. All of these require a description of the local environment as input in order to be able to run the models and generate either a...

(DA). More or less it has been applied in the assimilation with real observations. Here the OTW in this study is applied in 3-dimension DA but not 4-dimension DA, which need address in the introduction. The citations of OTW are not very relevant (Page 2, line 13-15). I could not find the clear concept of OTW and how they applied in data assimilation. SO you should address the technique details ...

This paper offers a new semantic theory of existentials (sentences of the form There be NPpivot XPcoda) in which pivots are (second order) predicates and codas are modifiers. The theory retains the analysis of pivots as denoting generalized quantifiers (Barwise and Cooper 1981; Keenan 1987), but departs from previous analyses in analyzing codas as contextual modifiers on a par with temporal/loc...

We use economic theory to examine the possible outcomes facing a culturally diverse population. We ask which cultures emerge and persist and what happens to social cohesion. We find three possible outcomes for a community: assimilation, where the community integrates and one group conforms to the culture of another; segregation, where groups socially segregate and retain their own culture; and ...

We propose 3D-visualization in order to facilitate the assimilation of computerrepresented knowledge by human minds. Since human imagination and reasoning is based on 3D-shapes, the presentation and validation of knowledge is most efficiently performed with the aid of geometric shapes. We motivate the need for visualization in Knowledge Management applications supported by a case study modellin...
