This article was an attempt to brief a new model of absorptive capacity and develop the concept which is critical factor in applying, accumulating linking external knowledge innovation. Through comprehensive review literature on capacity, authors ended up with idea that stream waterfall continually fosters all abilities capacity. In addition, following spillover each stage, perform their activi...

This study was an attempt to investigate what metacognitive strategies are specifically employed by English learners when it comes to different speaking task types.60 students at advanced level (female) were randomly selected and given an OPT as a test of homogeneity. They were assigned to experimental and control groups. The MS questionnaire (Oxford, 1990) was also administered to see what MS ...

It is of great practical importance to develop simple methods for the automatic detection ofthe controlled state of the analytical method being applied. The key point is to find quantities that greatly affect the quality of the analytical results and that can be easily estimated during the measurement process from the measured data. The signal-to-noise ratio has proved to be such a quantity in ...

Introduction A number of theories have been proposed that relate the differentiation pathway of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to their biomechanical environment during healing. In addition, the organisation of the ECM determines the mechanical fitness of any repair tissue. A key structural component in most soft tissues is collagen. Our hypothesis is that both cell phenotype and the collagen or...

In this paper, we show that the class of all properly 3-realizable groups is closed under amalgamated free products (and HNN-extensions) over finite groups. We recall that G is said to be properly 3-realizable if there exists a compact 2-polyhedron K with π1(K) = G and whose universal cover K̃ has the proper homotopy type of a 3-manifold (with boundary).

We improve the previous bounds on the so-called unordered Canonical Ramsey numbers, introduced by Richer [D. Richer, Unordered canonical Ramsey numbers, Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B 80 (2000) 172–177] as a variant of the canonical Ramsey numbers introduced by Erdős and Rado [P. Erdős, R. Rado, A combinatorial theorem, Journal of the London Mathematical Society 25 (4) (1950) 249–255]...

Prior research on mobile computation offloading has mainly focused on how to offload as well as what to offload. However, the problem of whether the offloading should be done attracted much less attention. In addition, existing offloading schemes either require special compilation or modification to the applications’ source code or binary, making them difficult to be deployed in practice. In th...

Since the initial studies showing the usefulness of B-type natriuretic peptide for aiding in heart failure diagnosis, a vast number of other clinical applications for this neurohormone have emerged. In addition to refining our capabilities to diagnose and prognosticate in acute heart failure, natriuretic peptides are now being used in outpatient heart failure clinics, in screening programs, and...
