Understanding conditions for path development after path exhaustion

Path Constitution Analysis: A Methodology for Understanding Path Dependence and Path Creation

Although an increasing number of studies of technological, institutional and organizational change refer to the concepts of path dependence and path creation, few attempts have been made to consider these concepts explicitly in their methodological accounts. This paper addresses this gap and contributes to the literature by developing a comprehensive methodology that originates from the concept...

Zig-zag Path to Understanding

OUT understanding of the fundamental physical limits of information handling has developed along a very convoluted path. Most of the initially plausible physical conjectures have turned out to be wrong. A participant’s personal view of these events is not a disciplined contribution to the history of science. I do, however, last my own mistakes along with those of others.

A path toward understanding neurodegeneration.

T he specter of neurodegenerative disease, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, haunts the developed world and exacts a poorly documented toll on underdeveloped countries. With so little progress made toward finding a cure— or, better, a prevention—it is time to rethink the path to progress. This requires a change in perspective on the type of research that will make a difference. The lesson learn...

Chain Conditions for Leavitt Path Algebras

In this paper, results known about the artinian and noetherian conditions for the Leavitt path algebras of graphs with finitely many vertices are extended to all row-finite graphs. In our first main result, necessary and sufficient conditions on a row-finite graph E are given so that the corresponding (not necessarily unital) Leavitt path K-algebra L(E) is semisimple. These are precisely the al...
