BACKGROUND Teaching Scholars Programs are designed to enhance productivity and faculty retention. The formation of an increased network may be a facilitative mechanism. PURPOSES This study determined if participants increased their educational network and if the increase affected productivity. METHODS Researchers interviewed Teaching Scholars participants for pre- and postparticipation memb...

Analysing and improving productivity has been one of the main goals of software engineering research since its beginnings. A plethora of studies has been conducted on various factors that resulted in several models for analysis and prediction of productivity. However, productivity is still an issue in current software development and not all factors and their relationships are known. This paper...

The TPC/27 detector and the PEP machine have been upgraded for highluminosity running. We describe the performance of the new configuration during a test run in fall 1988. Prospects for progress in 7 physics, based on a large data sample to be recorded by the TPC/Zy detector, are reviewed.

Recent research has demonstrated the existence of a positive relationship between IT investment and productivity in the context of large firms. However, the validity of such relationship for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has not yet been established. The issue is of critical importance for SMEs, which suffer a constant struggle for survival due to the absence of slack resources and high c...

Triple product correlations (TPC’s) involving strange quark spin are elucidated in b → uūs process within the standard model. They arise when light quark masses are nonzero. As the momenta and spins of constituent quarks are related to that of the parent hadron, the quark masses are, however small, important and relevant in TPC studies. At this level the TPC’s of interest are of the form ~ss · ...

by reviewing literature of human productivity, it's obvious that participation of employees and partnership environment is one of the main suggestions. but how human productivity is affected by participation of employees? this paper tries to answer this question. in other word, in this paper illustrated that participation of employees initiates two groups of guarantees that improve product...

The livestock production system is considered equally sensitive to climate change as that of core agriculture system and at the same time livestock itself is also contributing to the phenomenon. The present paper attempts to analyze the sensitivity of livestock productivity in rainfed regions to climatic variability, significance of climate change with respect to Indian livestock and mitigation...

This paper proposes a method for examining the causal relationship among investment in information technology (IT) and the organization's productivity. In this method, first a strong relationship among (1) investment in IT, (2) use of IT and (3) organization's productivity is verified using correlations. Second, the assumption that IT investment preceded improved productivity is tested using pa...

Total change in production and productivity are the two important dimensions of benefits of watershed development programmes along with the conservation of land and water resources. To segregate out the impact of various watershed-based interventions on crop productivity, a study was carried out in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh state of India. Data were collected from 240 farmers’ select...
