There is an intuitive assumption among some proponents of IT that the CIO should always report to the CEO to emphasize the importance of IT in the firm and the clout of the CIO, while some adversaries of IT call for a CIO-CF...

In this study, Calophyllum inophyllum (CIO) loaded Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) electrospun fibre mats were produced for potential wound healing applications. Physiochemical evaluation and in vitro characterisation of evaluated. Average diameters the determined as 0.9 ± 0.3 μm, 1.2 0.2 1.3 1.5 0.1 μm PCL, PCL/CIO−2.5, PCL/CIO−5 PCL/CIO−7.5, respectively. The contact angle values decreased up to ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the bioavailability and glycaemic metabolism of cinnamon oil (CIO) carried by liquid-loadable tablets (CIO-LLTs), the carrier of a CIO self-emulsifying formulation (CIO-LS). The results of tests performed to evaluate the physical properties of the CIO-LLT complied with Chinese Pharmacopeia (2010). The release profile suggested that the CIO-LLT preserv...

BACKGROUND Calophyllum inophyllum L. (Calophyllaceae) is an evergreen tree ethno-medically used along the seashores and islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, especially in Polynesia. Oil extracted from the seeds is traditionally used topically to treat a wide range of skin injuries from burn, scar and infected wounds to skin diseases such as dermatosis, urticaria and eczema. However, very f...

The regulation of the cyanide-insensitive oxidase (CIO) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that can synthesize HCN, is reported. The expression of a cioA-lacZ transcriptional fusion, CioA protein levels and CIO activity were low in exponential phase but induced about fivefold upon entry into stationary phase. Varying the O(2) transfer coefficient from 11.5 h(-1) to 87.4 h(-1) had no effect ...

OBJECTIVE Survey data suggests that approximately three-fourths of adults are overwhelmed by cancer information - a construct we label cancer information overload (CIO). A significant limitation of existing research is that it relies on a single-item measure. The objective of the current study is to develop and validate a multi-item measure of CIO. METHODS Study 1 (N=209) surveyed healthcare ...

Zusammenfassung Trotz der Relevanz und des Reifegrads Forschungsbereichs Chief Information Officer (CIO) gibt es nur wenige Studien, die den aktuellen Wissensstand objektiv umfänglich zusammenfassen. Die vorliegende Arbeit schließt diese Forschungslücke präsentiert eine umfassende Literaturübersicht über das CIO-Forschungsfeld unter Verwendung Hauptpfadanalyse. Anhand einer quantitativen qualit...

as organizations’ information technology (It) investment goals evolve from improving operational efficiency to enhancing strategic growth, the chief information officer (CIO) is increasingly expected to play not only the traditional supply-side leadership role that focuses on exploiting existing It competencies to support known business needs but also the demand-side leadership role that focuse...

Nowadays, most researchers and practitioners agree in considering the correct management of information as a powerful competitive force. The focus of top managers has progressively shifted towards “information” as an asset that can be exploited to increase the overall company performance. As a consequence, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) role has been dramatically changing, both in terms of...
