The research evaluates the content offerings of six networks, Sermo, Dox...

With the increasing interdependence of national economies and cross-border movement of products, labor, information, technology, and capital, firms are going global to pursue profits in global market (see, e.g., Ethier 1986). This section examines how a firm goes global and presents globalization approaches, stages, components, and directions. Although the content is in global strategy, we pres...

The analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the Content Model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. Newton-based methods such as GGA are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. On the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

The increasing global interest on traditional and complementary medicine (T/CM) and a need of a centralised and validated information on T/CM, added with a noble mission of optimally integrating the practice of T/CM into the mainstream healthcare system, revolutionised this Commonwealth health minister’s initiative project.
