Communication, technology, and political conflict : Introduction to the special issue

Modern communication technology is emerging rapidly, with tremendous social implications. The key innovations introduced by this technology include the increased pervasiveness and the rich nature of digitally transmitted information, and a new type of network structure over which it is disseminated. The articles in this special issue present theoretical and empirical research on the relationshi...

here has been general consensus t in dyslexia research that phono-JL logical processing deficits underlie dyslexic readers' failure to acquire adequate word recognition skills a phonological-core deficit-that difficulty representing the sound structure of words impedes a child's ability to learn decoding principles-has guided diagnostic and intervention efforts in reading disabilities and has b...

Guest Editors’ Introduction to the Special Issue: Why Is There a Resource-based View? toward a Theory of Competitive Heterogeneity

Also, it is unclear whether strategy scholars themselves agree on the RBV’s basic issues and premises. To clarify the contribution of the RBV, in this paper we elaborate its basic tenets and relate them to other current research on interf...

Introduction to the Special Issue on Learning Theory

This special issue builds on material presented at the Fifteens Annual Conference on Computational Learning Theory (COLT 2002) and the Sixteenth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS*2002), held in Sydney in July 2002 and in Vancouver in December 2002, respectively. We contacted authors who presented work on the analysis of learning in general, and with a particular f...
