this paper seeks to make an empirical analysis of the degree to which the research effort andfunctional integration into the design of environmental activity account for a company’s environmental actionbasedcompetitive advantage. to do so, we have used a sample of 110 factories. it has been proven that bothfactors (the research effort and functional integration into the design of environmental ...

Three experiments simulating military RADAR detection addressed a training difficulty hypothesis (training with difficulty promotes superior later testing performance) and a procedural reinstatement hypothesis (test performance improves when training conditions match test conditions). Training and testing were separated by 1 week. Participants detected targets (either alphanumeric characters or...

PURPOSE Training for improvement of oxidative capacity of muscle fibers may be attenuated when concurrently training for peak power. However, because of fiber type-specific recruitment, such attenuation may only account for high-oxidative muscle fibers. Here, we investigate the effects of concurrent training on oxidative capacity (as measured by succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity) by using ...

The design of acoustic models is key to a reliable connection between acoustic waveform and linguistic message in terms of individual speech units. We present an original application of concurrent constraint programming in this important area of spoken language processing. The application presented here employs concurrent constraint programming – represented by Mozart/Oz [1] – to overcome the p...

We determined the effect of concurrent training incorporating either high-intensity interval training (HIT) or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on maximal strength, counter-movement jump (CMJ) performance, and body composition adaptations, compared with single-mode resistance training (RT). Twenty-three recreationally-active males (mean ± SD: age, 29.6 ± 5.5 y; [Formula: see text],...

Distributed Mission Training is a promising technology in support of training in general and within DoD in particular. Architectural considerations (interplay of hardware and software) is instrumental given high demands for network bandwidth and computing resources in relation to proliferating software complexity. This paper proposes a co-design modeling and simulation methodology and environme...

In this paper a methodology for parallelizing neural network training algorithms is described, based on the parallel evaluation of the error function and gradient using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). PVM is an integrated set of software tools and libraries that emulates a general–purpose, flexible, heterogeneous concurrent computing framework on interconnected computers of varied architect...
