There is now considerable controversy concerning the role that incremental change plays in the process of organizational transformation. Some scholars assert that incremental change is the primary source of resistance to more radical re-orientations, while others argue that on occasion, ongoing incremental change can produce dramatic transformation. To help reconcile these competing perspective...

We present an in-depth study of various implementations of DGEMM, using both the recursive and iterative programming styles. Recursive algorithms for DGEMM are usually cache-oblivious and they automatically block DGEMM’s operands A, B, C for the memory hierarchy. Iterative algorithms for DGEMM explicitly block A, B, C for the L1 cache, higher caches and memory. Our study shows that recursive DG...

This paper focuses on formulating capacity-price trade off problem in Yield Management for manufactur-ing industry by drawing motivation from the remarkable success of Yield Management (YM) implementation in airlines. In the current practice, there is no alternative and procedure for the manufacturer, as well as cus-tomers to take advantage of using the unfulfilled capacity in discounted offers...

Landscape-scale fuel treatments for forest fire hazard reduction potentially produce large quantities of material suitable for biomass energy production. The analytic framework FIA BioSum addresses this situation by developing detailed data on forest conditions and production under alternative fuel treatment prescriptions, and computes haul costs to alternative sites at which forest biomass-bas...

emphasizing collective memory and based on bakhtin's idea of the dialogical principle and multi-voice novelistic discourse, as well as considering the idea of the perspectival truth of historical fact, the present paper deals with the capacity of the history-oriented novel genre in introducing multiple perspectives of history. such an emphasize and description can be connected to analyzing...
