Differences in dynamic capabilities (DCs) help explain firms’ abilities to change. DCs research has explored what DCs might be and generic categorisations of them after they have emerged, but little light has been thrown ...

Environmental sound composition, a term I employ to describe all forms of electroacoustic works in which the core materials are abstracted from real environments through technology, has been practiced in a variety of forms ...

Machine learning has achieved great successes in the area of computer vision, especially in object recognition or classification. One of the core factors of the successes is the availability of massive labeled image or ...

Traditionally a sport which is played predominantly in English speaking countries such as New Zealand, England, and Australia, rugby is gaining in popularity in other countries such as Japan. International rugby competitions, ...

Novelist Ayi Kwei Armah and poet Nicolás Guillén are, respectively, Ghanaian and Cuban writers who embody the efforts of mid-twentieth-century artists to depict the day-to-day socio-political conditions and struggles of ...

The computational landscape is littered with islands of disjoint resource providers including commercial Clouds, private Clouds, national Grids, institutional Grids, clusters, and data centers. These providers are ...

Sea shells, bones and teeth are three examples of Nature's unrivalled ability to produce complex hierarchical structures from simple inorganic materials. Unlike the synthetic approach of using 'exotic' materials to introduce ...

In this thesis we study the special Euclidean group SE(3) from two points of view, algebraic and geometric. From the algebraic point of view we introduce a dualisation procedure for SO(3;ℝ) invariants and obtain vector ...

A potentially parallel iterative algorithm for the solution of the unconstrained N-stage decision problem of Dynamic Programming is developed. This new solution method, known as Variable Metric Dynamic Programming, is based ...

This work investigates the dynamics of large-scale, ‘wet’ volcanic eruption clouds generated by the interaction of silicic magma with external water. The primary case study draws from a detailed record of non-welded ...
