Although knowledge creation is viewed as fundamental for securing a firm’s competitive advantage by scholars of strategic management and organizational learning (Nonaka, 1994; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995; Prahalad and Hamel, 1990; Nelson 1990; Leonard-Barton, 1992; Teece, 2005), few studies have systematically investigated the specific knowledge creation processes put in place by small hi-tech fi...

The UK textile industry was very prosperous in the past but in the 1970s Britain started to import textile materials from abroad. Since 1990, half of its textile materials have been imported from the EEA (European Economic Area), ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and North America countries. Meanwhile, UK imports from China have increased dramatically. Through comparisons, this pap...

Three synthetic datasets - of observation size 15,000, 155,000 and 1,555,000 participants, respectively - were created by simulating eleven cardiac and anthropometric variables from nine collection ages of the ALSAPC birth cohort study. The synthetic datasets retain similar data properties to the ALSPAC study data they are simulated from (co-variance matrices, as well as the mean and variance v...

We investigate the effect of gravitational lensing on the farthest known supernova, SN1997ff. The SN was found at z ∼ 1.7 in the Hubble Deep Field North and is most likely of Type Ia. Due to our poor knowledge of the properties of the lensing foreground galaxies, we conclude that large magnification effects are possible for reasonable lens parameter values implying that this single SN does not ...
