The EcoCyc DB has several organizing principles. It is organized around the bacterium E. coli K–12. It is organized at the level of a review in that a given entry in the DB encodes information from a variety of sources about a single biological entity, such as an enzyme. A former organizing principle of the DB was to focus on information about enzymes and metabolic pathways; however, that focus...

Waves of fashionable ideas shape the practice and research of information systems (IS). What forces drive idea waves in IS? This research takes the first step to empirically study IS idea waves in inter-organizational communities through the lens of organizing visions. Introduced by Swanson and Ramiller (1997), an organizing vision is a focal community idea for applying information technologies...

today, customer knowledge is one of the most important resources to innovation and organizations whose capabilities should be improved to absorb this knowledge. the acquiring and applying the customer knowledge are not facile and all forms of the customer information and knowledge do not result value creating. thus, current study introduces a model to measure customer knowledge absorptive capac...

Representing and organizing information in libraries has a long tradition of using rules and standards. As the very first standard encoding format for bibliographic data in libraries, MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) format is being joined by a large number of new formats since the late 1980s. The new formats, mostly SGML/HTML based, are actively taking a role in representing and organizing n...

The magnification behaviour of a generalized family of self-organizing feature maps, the Winner Relaxing and Winner Enhancing Kohonen algorithms is analyzed by the magnification law in the one-dimensional case, which can be obtained analytically. The Winner-Enhancing case allows to acheive a magnification exponent of one and therefore provides optimal mapping in the sense of information theory....

organizing lobar pneumonia is a rare form of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.  herein, we report a rare case of organizing pneumonia involving lung, mediastinum and esophagus.  a 16-year-old girl was referred to our center with clinical signs and symptoms of dysphagia and weight loss.  the main abnormal radiologic and endoscopic findings were stricture of the lower third of esopha...
