In this theoretical paper, we propose a mechanism through which social media may enhance firm performance. To do so, we tab into a time lens, entrainment—the alignment of the timing and pace of a cyclic activity with those of another activity. We then argue that firms with high social media capabilities can more easily entrain their innovation to the speed, type, amount, and range of contention...

approved: _____________________________________________________ Un-Ku Moon Kartikeya Mayaram Digital phase-locked loops (PLLs) have been receiving increasing attention recently due to their ease of integration, scalability and performance comparable to their analog counterparts. In digital PLLs, increased resolution in time-to-digital conversion is desirable for improved noise performance. This...

This two-sequence, three-period crossover study is the first pharmacokinetic (PK) study to compare all three innovator formulations of tacrolimus (twice-daily immediate-release tacrolimus capsules [IR-Tac]; once-daily extended-release tacrolimus capsules [ER-Tac]; novel once-daily tacrolimus tablets [LCPT]). Stable renal transplant patients were dosed with each drug for 7 days, and blood sample...

purpose : to evaluate the effect of intraviteral bevacizumab (ivb) in diabetic macular edema (dme), using multifocal electroretinography (mferg) methods : sixty-four eyes of 32 patients with bilateral symmetric clinically significant macular edema (csme) were included in the study. after taking a baseline mferg, macular photocoagulation (mpc) was done in all eyes. after 7 days, 1.25 mg of bevac...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with frequency domain equalization (FDE) requires reliable channel estimation (CE). In practice, pilot assisted CE can be either based on timeor frequency-domain multiplexed pilot symbols (i.e. TDM-pilot and FDM-pilot). It this paper, the impact of quantization noise introduced by digital-to-analog (DA) and analog-to-digital (AD) converte...
