BETR global – A geographically-explicit global-scale multimedia contaminant fate model

Estimating a geographically explicit model of population divergence.

Patterns of genetic variation can provide valuable insights for deciphering the relative roles of different evolutionary processes in species differentiation. However, population-genetic models for studying divergence in geographically structured species are generally lacking. Since these are the biogeographic settings where genetic drift is expected to predominate, not only are population-gene...

A geographically explicit genetic model of worldwide human-settlement history.

Currently available genetic and archaeological evidence is generally interpreted as supportive of a recent single origin of modern humans in East Africa. However, this is where the near consensus on human settlement history ends, and considerable uncertainty clouds any more detailed aspect of human colonization history. Here, we present a dynamic genetic model of human settlement history couple...

Supporting an Explicit Organizational Model in Global Software Engineering Projects

In this paper, we propose the integration of relevant support tools for a global software development project based on a shared organizational model. By providing a single directory service where consistency and accuracy of this model can be better controlled, we intend to achieve several benefits. In particular, the ability to automate some of the tasks associated with initiating a distributed...

Change on a Global Scale

Educating for Global Product Realization on a Global Scale

Three universities on three continents co-operated in teaching global product realization. The Global Product Realization (GPR) course is a highly innovative course in which virtual classrooms and workshops have been formed via ISDN lines, internet facilities and other information technological means representing the state-of-the-technology. This paper gives an insight into the background, the ...
