Knowledge Management System (KMS) is such an application of computer based communications and information systems that grant sharing and transferring knowledge effectively; furthermore with the evolution of Internet, KMS has improved its knowledge process and activities where it can be accessed with varied form of technologies such as email, video conferencing and so forth, from dispersed geogr...

We want to relate the concepts of entropy and pressure to that of KMS states for C∗-Algebras. Several different definitions of entropy are known in our days. The one we describe here is quite natural and extends the usual one for Dynamical Systems in Thermodynamic Formalism Theory. It has the advantage of been very easy to be introduced. It is basically obtained from transfer operators (also ca...

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) in Western Australia. The study uses a mixed methodology approach. The research was carried out in three stages: field study, pilot survey, and state wide survey (top 300 companies). The data of the survey in Western Australia was analyzed through Partial Least Square Approach (PLS)....

Knowledge Management System (KMS) is one way to organize and documented the knowledge of institution. The purpose of this study is to develop a prototype KMS in organizing and documenting the knowledge in the university and to do a document aggregation based on the total number, subjects and writers (lecturers). The development method of KMS prototype is using sharepoints which are able to coll...

There is reason to suspect that 4C 41.17, a radio galaxy at z = 3:800 0:003, contains a large quantity of enriched molecular gas. We describe a search for CO in 4C 41.17, taking advantage of the fact that the J = 1 ! 0 rotational transition is redshifted into the radio-frequency band centred at 23 GHz for 3:80 < z < 4:25. There is no sign of CO line emission in our resulting spectrum, which cov...

Despite the relative maturity of knowledge management the problem of facilitating knowledge creation and sharing at multiple levels (personal, team, organizational and interorganizational) in a uniform way is still crucial. Moreover, managing knowledge at each organizational level implies a number of critical heterogeneities (representational, semantic, etc) which current solutions cannot addre...

Two separate qualitative research studies are designed to gain an insight into the practice of knowledge management and marketing in the engineering and biotechnology industries. The findings show that the engineering industry is practicing knowledge management to varying degrees. The biotechnology industry clearly differentiates between data, information and knowledge. With the new knowledge g...

In spite of the growing number of KMS emanating from academia, only few of these systems seem to be actively used by their creators. We can only speculate about the reasons, but a lack of usability and support for real-life business processes is likely to be one of them. This paper presents the Infolayer, a KMS developed at the Artificial Intelligence unit at Dortmund university. Originally dev...

Knowledge management systems (KMS) are the tools and techniques that support knowledge management practices in organizations. The study of these systems consists of a small but growing body of literature. In the last two years alone, at least four books, two special editions of journals, and a number of academic and practitioner articles have been published related to this area. However, much o...

Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) describes a consumptive coagulopathy associated with certain vascular tumors. It is thought that platelets are destroyed as they circulate through the aberrant endothelial surfaces associated with these tumors. Most published literature describes infants with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, but a similar syndrome can complicate angiosarcoma in adults. This repor...
