Recent literature suggests that explorative innovation is essential for both the organizational success and survival of firms. Based upon a comprehensive review of the literature, we find limited discussion of market turbulence and the entrepreneurial orientation of the organizational environment. There are both external and internal conditions that constrain how firms facilitate explorative in...

In this short note, we derive dissipative conditions with slack variables for a linear coupled differentialdifference (CDDS) via constructing a Krasovskii functional. The approach can be interpreted as a generalization of the Finsler Lemma approach for standard LTI systems proposed previously in de Oliveira & Skelton (2001). We also show that the proposed slack variables scheme is equivalent to...

Rough data envelopment analysis (RDEA) evaluates the performance of the decision making units (DMUs) under rough uncertainty assumption. In this paper, new discussion regarding RDEA is extended. The RSBM model is proposed by integrating SBM model and rough set theory. The process of reaching solution is presented and this model is applied to efficiency evaluation of the DMUs with uncertain ...

The problem of jointly scheduling both hard deadline periodic tasks and soft aperiodic tasks has been the subject of considerable research in real-time systems. One of the most widely accepted solutions for this problem are slack stealing algorithms. However, these algorithms are rather impractical, since they all imply a considerable scheduler overhead. This paper faces the overhead problem by...

As the world of publishing has evolved, so has the mission of SLACK Incorporated, a family-owned company that has provided the medical community with award-winning information since 1923, and the publishers of Orthopedics. From the company’s start in print 90 years ago to its current roster of medical newspapers and 18 different Web sites, SLACK’s team now drives expert information to .9 millio...

The Slack (sequence like a calcium-activated K channel) and Slick (sequence like an intermediate conductance K channel) genes, which encode sodium-activated K+ (K(Na)) channels, are expressed at high levels in neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) in the auditory brainstem. These neurons lock their action potentials to incoming stimuli with a high degree of temporal precisi...

The execution of a non saturated Real-Rime System leaves idle or empty time-slots called slack. They can be used to execute tasks not belonging to the system but sharing the processor with it. Very often, the quality of service, provided to those tasks can be improved if the slack is reshuffled in such a way that the empty slots are advanced without jeopardizing the real-time tasks. The purpose...
