One of the important elements that have been playing a significant role in today’s global business operations is culture. An important dimension of cultural analysis has been added to its discussion of transferability of JIT/TQM to other countries ever since the Japanese management techniques, JIT and TQM, became popular throughout the world. This paper reviews the transferability of these popu...

We study the lipid and phase transferability of our recently developed systematically coarse-grained solvent-free membrane model. The force field was explicitly parameterized to describe a fluid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) bilayer at 310 K with correct structure and area per lipid, while gaining at least three orders of magnitude in computational efficiency (see Wang and Des...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers based on Competitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASPar) were developed from sequences of three Citrus species. Their transferability was tested in 63 Citrus genotypes and 19 relative genera of the subfamily Aurantioideae to estimate the potential of SNP markers, selected from a limited intrageneric discovery panel, for on...

A partial lattice P is ideal-projective, with respect to a class C of lattices, if for every K ∈ C and every homomorphism φ of partial lattices from P to the ideal lattice of K, there are arbitrarily large choice functions f : P → K for φ that are also homomorphisms of partial lattices. This extends the traditional concept of (sharp) transferability of a lattice with respect to C. We prove the ...

Safety performance functions (SPFs), by predicting the number of crashes on roadway facilities, have been a vital tool in the highway safety area. The SPFs are typically applied for identifying hot spots in network screening and evaluating the effectiveness of road safety countermeasures. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides a series of SPFs for several crash types by various roadway facili...

Software development has always been considered a complex undertaking where close interaction has been the antidote to this inherent complexity and development techniques from initial unstructuredover structuredand to object-oriented programming represent ways of managing development risks. Software knowledge has traditionally been transferred in project settings and been intrinsically linked w...
