Results of the co-citation clustering analysis have identified five main theoretical building blocks of the IC–entrepreneurship ...

This is particularly relevant for searches of transient gravitational waves from astrophysical sources such as the mergers of neutron stars and/or black holes, the main area of this study. Sparse approximation algorithms that allow constraints on the approximation error do not perform well when the decomposition bases are redundant. This study puts in evidence some of the shortcomings of sparse approximation algorithms when dealing with unions of highly correlated bases, a case that currently lacks of a comprehensive mathematical analysis, and proposes solutions to mitigate them. We propose a variation of the matching pursuit algorithm that improves its robustness in the context of gravitational waves patterns construction. We also compare this algorithm to standard sparse approximation methods.

The problems or social needs are translated into these operational tools. This research paper was made in base to surveys, questionnaires to every representative from every quarter of the district of Sucre, at the same time it was made a constantly follow to arrive to the prime goal and show the issues and limits institutional which generate petition of professionals in the area of public gestion in Sucre. In an optic of effectiveness, efficiency, equity and social participation into the monitoring and evaluation of project initially is contextualized within the framework of public politics and in particular those relating to social problems or needs and development concrete actions and made effective the relation Civil Society � State- Development, because the socials actors would be protagonists of their own destiny a...
1762년 조선의 왕 영조가 아들 사도세자를 뒤주에 가두어 죽게 한 임오 화변은 조선 왕조 500년 역사에서 가장 끔찍한 왕가의 비극이다. 이 날의 ‘뒤주 사건’은 수많은 드... more 1762년 조선의 왕 영조가 아들 사도세자를 뒤주에 가두어 죽게 한 임오 화변은 조선 왕조 500년 역사에서 가장 끔찍한 왕가의 비극이다. 이 날의 ‘뒤주 사건’은 수많은 드라마와 영화, 서적 등에서 반복적으로 재연되어 왔다. 임오화변의 재연 과정에서 ‘뒤주 사건’을 전달하는 화자는 지속적으로 변화했다. 처음에는 사도세자의 아내 혜경궁이었고, 다음은 사도세자의 아들정조, 그리고 최근에는 사도세자가 스스로 화자가 되어 이 사건을 해명했다. ‘뒤주 사건’의 서사적 재연과 화자의 변주는 현재를 사는 한국인의 의문과 욕망을 반영한다. 아버지이자 임금인 영조는 기성세대이자 지배계층이라는 이중적 이미지를 지닌다. 20세기 이후 경제성장이라는 모토 하에 ‘힘 있는 아버지’형 리더에게 순응을 강요당하고 목숨도 맡겨야 했던 한국 국민들. 그들에게 사회는 하나의 커다란 뒤주였다. 임오화변은 해결되지 못한 채로 뒤주에 갇혀버린 사건이다. 한국인은 계속해서 뒤주의 뚜껑을 열고 그 안에 갇힌 이야기를 끌어내어 이어가려고 한다. 현대 한국인이 계속해서 임오화변을 서사적으로 소환하고, 뒤주 속 이야기에 생명을 넣으려는 현상은 뒤주가 되어버린 사회에서 벗어나고자 하는 내적 욕망의 표현으로 읽을 수 있다. 이 글은 임오화변을 소환하는 현대인의 내면 풍경에 초점을 맞추려 한다. 임오화변은 정말 지나간 사건인가? 그렇다면 왜 임오화변을 소재로 하는 드라마와 영화는 매번 새롭게 만들어지는가? 새로운 드라마가 만들어질 때마다 뒤주 이야기는 어떠한 새로운 사건으로 탄생하는가? 그리고 그것은 무엇 때문인가? 이 글은 이러한 질문을 다룰 것이다. 뒤주 사건은 사도세자의 이야기이다. ‘사도세자 이야기’의 반복적 재연은 과거의 사실을 전달하는 것이 아니라 현재적 의미를 수행한다. 그 의미는 현대 한국 사회가 지닌 깊은 우울의 원인이 한국이라는 공동체가 건강하게 성장하는 데 필요한 ‘자기대상’ 적 존재의 결핍임을 폭로하고, 정지된 ‘부자서사’의 연속과 단절된 ‘부자관계’의 재건을 시도하려는 데 있음을 ...

We demonstrate that these materials and associated processes are compatible with a standard lithographic process, and oriented toward a potential high volume manufacturing. We show that this dedicated technology is able to guarantee the stability and planarity of the stack even at elevated self-assembly bake temperatures, and opens new opportunity in the fields of 3D BCPs stacks. Finally, we show interesting results for the etch-transfer of a lamellar BCP in silicon.

La observación por sí misma representa una de las formas más sistematizadas y lógicas para el registro visual y verificable de lo que se pretende conocer, consiste en utilizar los sentidos ya sea para describir, analizar, o explicar desde una perspectiva científica, válida y confiable algún hecho, objeto o fenómeno desde una forma participante, no participante, estructurada o no estructurada; de esta forma se plantea la necesidad de que el observador cuente con habilidades y destrezas que le permitan desarrollar este proceso con calidad. Palabras clave: Técnica, investigación social, validez, objetividad, sistemática. The purpose of this paper is to connect students to the use and understanding of one of the most widely used research techniques, but also one of th...

However, a number of highly skilled and qualified personnel are still needed to fill the gap and help turn these data into intelligence. In addition, the accuracy of this intelligence relies on the quality of these images in times of temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution. For the purpose of contributing to the global effort aiming at monitoring natural and anthropic processes affecting coastal areas, we proposed a framework for image processing to extract the shoreline and the shallow water depth on GeoEye-1 satellite image and orthomosaic image acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the coast of San Vito Lo Capo, with image preprocessing steps involving orthorectification, atmospheric correction, pan sharpening, and binary imaging for water and non-water pixels analy...

Design/methodology/approach Based on the theories regarding knowledge management, TIC, software engineering and open innovation, this paper constructed a research model comprising factors affecting knowledge sharing, knowledge sharing and TIC, and then tested the model quantitatively. The study focuses on SSMEs in China collecting 457 online questionnaires and uses a structural equation model to test the hypotheses. Findings The knowledge sharing culture, organizational structure, middle-level leadership and management system have significantly positive effects on tacit knowledge sharing; management system and IT support have significantly positive effects on explicit knowledge sharing; both explicit and tacit knowledge sharing have significantly positive effects on TIC. Research limitations/implications The st...
