In the present study, the interactions of three different lithium species Li+, Li3+ and CH3Li with several different sites of the most stable tautomers of DNA nucleo-bases are presented. This investigation is based on the results of thermochemical properties, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Natural Bond Orbi...

This paper seeks to uncover dominant configurations of inter-organizational relationships across the USA and Japan in the automotive industry. We integrate relevant theoretical concepts from transaction cost economics, organization theory and political economy to develop a conceptual model of inter-organizational relationships based on the fit between information processing needs and informatio...

We present a novel synthesis algorithm for procedurally generating complex curves. Our approach takes a simple example input curve specified by a user and automatically generates complex curves that resemble the input. The algorithm preserves many of the input shape features such as tangent directions, curvature, branch nodes, and closed loops. The overall approach is simple and can be used to ...

Purpose – To propose a conceptual paradigm for unifying concepts of material, living and spiritual nature, based on the natural philosophy of Gregory Bateson and the more formal relational theories of Robert Rosen. Design/methodology/approach – The paper combines Bateson’s natural philosophy with the relational meta-theory of Robert Rosen to develop the world view we believe Bateson argued for....
