The Performance Implications of Planning, Implementation, and Evolution of Market-oriented Strategy by Top Management By Jeffrey Ryan Foreman

Previous work in the animation of plant development and expansion has centered on the botom-up approach, whereby models are specified in terms of developmental ruls. These models are inherently difficult to use for goal oriented modeling as the final structure and development of these models are emergent properties. Top-down modeling has previously been introduced to remedy this problem by allo...

We are interested in the mechanisms needed to control computer initiative to allow systems to engage in mixedinitiative task-oriented/planning (TOP) dialogues. A TOP dialogue is about an ongoing task that may require replanning during its execution. We discuss our model for initiative and motivate the use of protocols. Finally, we present some protocol rules and analyze a TOP dialogue exchange ...

In this paper, we study the implementation of a spatial relational-like query language for geographic applications in an object-oriented environment. A prototype has been developed on top of the object-oriented database system O 2. We report on our design choices, describe the current status of implementation and conclude on the suitability of the object-oriented approach and more speciically o...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to examine the association between the distribution of ACTN3 genotypes and alleles in power, speed, and strength-oriented athletics. METHODS ACTN3 genotyping was carried out for a total of 975 Korean participants: top-level sprinters (n = 58), top-level strength athletes (n = 63), and healthy controls (n = 854). RESULTS Genetic associations were evaluated by...
