The replication or recreation of research is a core part of many disciplines. Yet unlike many other disciplines, like medicine, physics, or mathematics, we have almost no drive and barely any reason to consider investigating the work of other HCI researchers. Our community is driven to publish novel results in novel spaces using novel designs, and to keep up with evolving technology. Further, o...

The paper analyzes the joint evolution of accumulation and distribution of human capital in an OLG framework. Dynamics arises as a result of a continuous interplay between features of the human capital distribution and individual variables inherited human capital and inborn ability. Such interaction drives individual investment in human capital and accumulation in the economy. According to the ...

We study nonequilibrium dynamics of ultracold two-component Fermi gases in low-dimensional geometries after the interactions are quenched from a weakly interacting to a strongly interacting regime. We develop a T-matrix formalism that takes into account the interplay between Pauli blocking and tight confinement in lowdimensional geometries. We employ our formalism to study the formation of mole...

Used appropriately and judiciously, thermodynamic parameters can offer insight into the energetics of protein-ligand interactions that is not readily attainable by other means. The utility or application of thermodynamic analysis has traditionally been considered more the domain of (bio)chemistry than biology. However, the modern recognition of an interface in the case of protein-ligand interac...

What is social capital? In answering this question, the paper reports on new research which differentiates between the social interactive processes and social capital as the product of that process. Following a review of literature, structured as a social theory against which social capital might be understood, the paper then describes a study of a rural community, and reports on two analyses o...

This paper is a sympathetic critique of the current view of the state and state restructuring in the literature on geographical political economy. We contend that although this literature has developed a view of the state that is far more complex than a crudely determinist or economistic reading, it nevertheless remains limited. The literature analyzes the imperatives that shape state restructu...

We investigate transverse hadron spectra from proton+proton, deuteron+Au and Au+Au collisions at √ s = 200GeV and √ s = 17.3GeV within the Hadron–String– Dynamics (HSD) approach which is based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom as well as Pythia calculations for the high p⊥ spectra. The comparison to experimental data on transverse mass spectra from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au re...

Using a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model, we study pseudo-rapidity distributions and transverse momentum spectra in deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC. We find that final-state partonic and hadronic interactions affect the transverse momentum spectrum of protons more than those of kaons or pions. Relative to p+p collisions at same center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, the effect of final-stat...

Offshoring offers managers the promise of substantial economic benefits, but also comes with the risk of increased complexity and coordination challenges. We argue that offshoring firms must accumulate architectural knowledge to keep the cost of coordination of the geographically separated activities at bay. Based on a simulation model that examines the performance implications of firms’ learni...

Many types of human interaction are mediated processes. However, regarding the details of human description, the mediating unit structure and dynamics is not developed appropriately. The explicit concentration on mediators contributes to understanding of interplay between value sets governing interaction, interaction roles in regular activities and interaction design for purpose. This article i...
