PURPOSE Allometric modeling (AM) has been used to determine the world's strongest body mass-adjusted man. Recently, however, AM was shown to demonstrate body mass bias in elite Olympic weightlifting performance. A second order polynomial (2OP) provided a better fit than AM with no body mass bias for men and women. The purpose of this study was to apply both AM and 2OP models to women's world po...

to evaluate the influence of core thickness and fabrication stages on the marginal accuracy of ips e.max press crowns.twenty ips e.max press crowns, 1.5mm thick, were fabricated on metal dies. the crowns had two different core thicknesses, 0.8mm for group a and 1mm for group b, ten for each group. marginal gap was measured after each stage of core fabrication, veneering and glaze firing. the sp...

We provide a conceptual framework and a case study of how an organization links its mission and espoused values with its operating practices. Conceptually, we locate this mission integration theme within Simons’ (1995, Levers of control. Harvard Business Review Press, Boston) management accounting and control framework, and then adapt Schatzki’s (2002, The site of the social. Pennsylvania State...

This paper describes a service architecture for a financial market monitoring and surveillance system in which different components interact in coordination with internal and external service providers to produce proactive alarms for potential fraud cases. The proposed service system is demonstrated through an exemplar case study of text mining and data mining to analyze the impact of ‘stock-to...

The extant literature has demonstrated that the logic of retaliation is a core feature of negative campaigning. Attacks by one side induce counterattacks by the other. Yet most research on the interactive nature of negative campaigning is limited to two-party competition and provides little theoretical justification for why political actors should respond to attacks with counterattacks. The pre...
