THE SPANISH PHILOSOPHER AND ESSAYIST, George Santayana (1863– 1952), noted that “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” That idea has led the Editors of American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology to initiate a new type of article, “Historical Perspectives.” Several of the Associate Editors (among others) and I, especially those of us of a “certain age,” have been su...

In this paper we study the performance of a symplectic numerical integrator based on the splitting method. This method is applied to a subtle problem i.e. higher order resonance of the elastic pendulum. In order to numerically study the phase space of the elastic pendulum at higher order resonance, a numerical integrator which preserves qualitative features after long integration times is neede...

The standard hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm uses the second order integrator at the molecular dynamics step. This choice of the integrator is not always the best. We study the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice QCD with higher order integrators in both zero and finite temperature phases and find that in the finite temperature phase the performance of the algorithm can be ...

The paper analyses the organization of the new product development process at FIAT from a resource-based perspective. The focus is on organizational resources for integrating dispersed specialist knowledge required in the development of complex products. The analysis shows how applying a resource-based perspective is able to uncover negative long-term effects of outsourcing on the competence ba...
