The times when the chances that incremental optimisation of organisations could lead to sustained competitive advantage were great seem long gone. In today’s economy, organisations aspiring to reap any advantage at all will most likely be forced to master the reinvention of their business models on a regular basis – or better still, create new ones. The strategists and decision-makers who can comb

Tachykinins have been implied as mediators and/or modulators of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents. It is known that tachykinins are released from central endings of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurons in the rat and cat spinal cords, and that the capsaicin-sensitive bladder afferents are involved in regulating the micturition reflex in the rat. The general aim of the present studies w

We analyze the clustering of scatterers in mobile radio channels, i.e, the fact that scatterers are usually not located uniformly in the whole coverage area, but tend to occur in clusters. While this has been recognized for some time, a realistic model for this phenomenon has been lacking up to now. We first analyze measurements to extract the distribution of the number of observed clusters. We th

Several studies have reported that spontaneous eye movements occur with visual imagery and that they closely reflect content and spatial relations from an original picture or scene (e.g., Brandt & Stark, 1997; Spivey & Geng, 2001; Johansson, Holsanova, & Holmqvist, 2006). Nevertheless, the exact purpose of these eye movements to “nothing” is elusive and has currently been the target of

This paper studies the interdependence between R&D resources and standardization performance in development-related standardization settings under strong network effects. Standardization performance is viewed as the firm’s involvement in the change process of standards as a result of the business processes of standardization. We utilize a sample from the 3GPP change request database to study f

The following article reports result from an extensive study with 25 blind users from Italy and Sweden performed during the summer 2001. The tasks reported here test recognition of geometrical objects, recognition of VRML objects, mathematical surfaces and navigation in a traffic environment. The outcome of these tests show that blind users are able to handle also quite complex objects and environ
