This paper points out the need of advanced collaborative business ICT infrastructures (CBI) for CNOs, the requirements for the development of CBIs, and the technologies and trends considering CNO issues. The CBI devised in the ECOLEAD Project is also presented, showing how most of these requirements and emergent ICTs have been incorporated in it. This CBI – called ICT-I – is a distributed, open...

Community-based initiatives (CBI) are based on integrated multisectoral socioeconomic development with community participation and intersectoral support to improve the health and quality of life of the people. During 2005-06 the World Health Organization supported an evaluation of CBI in the Islamic Republic of Iran by collecting information from intervention villages on social capital and othe...

Despite the surge in interest in research on organizational identification, little attention has been paid to investigating the notion of identification in the branding context. Moreover, consumer-brand identification has been conceptualized and opertionalized equally as organizational identification while ignoring both the shortcomings of organizational identification measures and the differen...

The complete amine acid sequence of rye seed chitinase-a (RSC-a) has been analyzed. RSC-a was cleayed with cyanogen bromide and the resulting three fragments, CBI, CB2, and CB3, were separated by gel filtration. The amino acids of the N-terminal fragment CBI were sequenced by analyzing the peptides produced by digestion with trypsin, lysylendopeptidase, or pepsin ef reduced SLcarboxymethylated ...

Hot-casting and cold-casting technologies are proposed in the fabrication process of CsBi 3 I 10 (CBI). Cold-casting accelerates crystallization rates, improves CBI film quality enhances device efficiency stability.

The cerebellum processes pain inputs and is important for motor learning. Yet, how the cerebellum interacts with the motor cortex in individuals with recurrent pain is not clear. Functional connectivity between the cerebellum and motor cortex can be measured by a twin coil transcranial magnetic stimulation technique in which stimulation is applied to the cerebellum prior to stimulation over the...

Posttetanic potentiation (PTP)-like phenomena appear to be mediated by a variety of mechanisms. Although neuropeptides are located in a large number of neurons and many neuropeptides, like PTP, can enhance synaptic transmission, there is a paucity of studies indicating that peptides may actually participate in PTP. Here, we utilize a single central synapse in the feeding circuit of Aplysia to i...

Central bank independence (CBI) has long been considered a key aspect of effective monetary policy, as it allows central banks to make decisions free from political interference. However, the global financial crisis 2007–2008 and recent events such COVID-19 pandemic armed conflict in Ukraine have threatened CBI. This article aims examine impact these on CBI OECD member countries, both de jure f...

Cellulose biosynthesis is a common feature of land plants. Therefore, cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors (CBIs) have a potentially broad-acting herbicidal mode of action and are also useful tools in decoding fundamental aspects of cellulose biosynthesis. Here, we characterize the herbicide indaziflam as a CBI and provide insight into its inhibitory mechanism. Indaziflam-treated seedlings exhibit...

[LPH96] 201.663 1.643, a diffuse H ii region, has been reported to be a candidate for emission from rapidly spinning dust grains. We present Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) observations at 26–36 GHz that show no evidence for significant anomalous emission. The spectral index within the CBI band, and between CBI and Effelsberg data at 1.4 and 2.7 GHz, is consistent with optically thin free-free e...
