This paper explores knowledge management in small and medium-sized firms (SMEs). It investigates the use of Lotus Notes in SMEs of a developing country as a counterpoint to the large firm, developed country emphasis of existing research. It develops taxonomy of Lotus Notes use within the context of different knowledge management processes; notably communicating, co-ordinating and collaborating....

Due to its special geological history, the New Caledonian Archipelago is a mosaic of soil types, and in combination with climatic conditions this results in a heterogeneous environment across relatively small distances. A group of over 20 endemic species of Diospyros (Ebenaceae) has rapidly and recently radiated on the archipelago after a single long-distance dispersal event. Most of the Diospy...

Diospyros venablesii W.E.Cooper is described and illustrated with notes on habitat, distribution how to distinguish it from the most similar species, laurina.

A successful entrepreneur, Schultz co-founded the Mesa Group, Inc. in 1988, where he served as chairman and CEO for nearly ten years. During his tenure, he led the company to several years of growth, resulting in successful acquisition by Microsoft in 1998. Schultz also co-founded Blossom Software, a company that developed, marketed and supported software products to enhance Lotus 1-2-3. Prior ...

a new, local agro-industrial waste was valorized by chemical treatment and tested for its ability to remove cationic dye from aqueous solution. tendu (diospyros melanoxylon) leaves refuse, a solid waste from bidi industry which caused disposal problem, was studied as a biosorbent. raw tendu waste (tlr), along with sulfuric acid carbonized tendu waste (tlr-cm) and tendu waste treated with dilute...

We demonstrate the fabrication of 2-D arrays of nanopillars made from perfluoropolyether derivatives using a porous anodic aluminum oxide membrane as a template. Pretexturing the aluminum prior to anodization enables one to engineer multiple morphological length scales and thereby synthesize a lotus-leaf-like topography. Both nanopillars on a flat surface and on a lotus-leaf-like topology exhib...

This study was performed to define the kinetic drying model and effective diffusivity coefficient of fruit, which is called Diospyros kaki in literature, from family Ebonaceae known as Persimmon our country. In study, blueberries by weight 100 g with a thickness 5 mm were placed device, data processed observing loss every two hours after being subjected process for 14 hours. 8 different models ...
