Two distinct approaches have emerged to categorize entrepreneurial strategies. While some argue that planning is beneficial for entrepreneurs, a growing body of literature argues that nonpredictive strategies can also lead to successful outcomes. The effectuation framework gained attention and it is perhaps the most sophisticated theoretical framework to understand nonpredictive strategies. In ...

The susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to temefos was evaluated by means of samples of eggs and larvae from four large counties in the state of Ceará (Fortaleza, Barbalha, Juazeiro do Norte and Crato). The technique standardized by the World Health Organization for tests with larvicides was used. The CL50 of eight samples from populations of Aedes was determined, as were their respective resistanc...

Conversations are a basic unit of analysis in studies of human interaction. These units are conventionally distinguished by reference to the set of ratified participants who take part, often by appeal to their physical proximity/orientation. We show that within such conversational units there are distinct dialogue contexts which are more fine-grained than this. We present experimental evidence ...

This paper presents a heuristic cost minimization approach to synthes­ izing linear reversible circuits. Two bidirectional linear reversible circuit syn­ thesis methods are introduced, the Alternating Elimination with Cost Minimiza­ tion method (AECM) and the Multiple CNOT Gate method (MCG). Al­ gorithms, example syntheses, and extensions to these methods are presented. An MCG variant which inc...
