We study the construction of the collective-coordinate manifold in the baryon number two sector of the Skyrme model. To that end we use techniques of adiabatic large amplitude collective motion, which treat potential and kinetic energy on an equal footing. In this paper the starting point is the Ansatz proposed by Atiyah and Manton (Phys. Lett. 438B, 222 (1989)), which allows a study of the dyn...

Collective MPI operations are an interesting research topic, since their implementation is complex and there are many different possible ways to improve their performance. It is not always obvious how much a given application will gain from such improvements and some of the methods to improve collective performance are costly and time-consuming to implement. In this paper we use a hybrid MPI si...

the inssurance industry is one of the service industries has significant competition and innovation. with regard to importance of innovation issue for top managers of iranian insurance companies, a conceptual model has been developed for corporate innovation capability concept. in this paper, after describing the research problem, innovation concept with comparative review of recent theories of...

Massively parallel computers are increasingly being used to solve large, I/O intensive applications in many different fields. For such applications, the I/O requirements quite often present a significant obstacle in the way of achieving good performance, and an important area of current research is the development of techniques by which these costs can be reduced. One such approach is collectiv...

Trauma from widespread collective violence such as genocide and ethnic cleansing has not been discussed from a global perspective. It will be argued that the Western medical model of diagnostic labeling is inadequate for understanding victims of collective violence from around the world. Phenomenology and liberation philosophy will be discussed as alternatives to understanding trauma from colle...

Responding to calls to contextualize social psychological variables in history, the present research examines the relationship between collective relative deprivation and collective esteem using a historical perspective. We hypothesized that collective relative deprivation perceived to be experienced during an important low-point in a group's history serves to define the group's current collect...

Bandura’s social cognitive construct “perceived selfefficacy” has been used widely to understand individual behavior as a function of domain-specific beliefs about personal capacities. Collective efficacy is the extension of the self-efficacy construct to organizations and groups; it refers to beliefs about collective capacities in specific domains. Our research is investigating the use of coll...

Swarm Robotics is an area of active research interest where groups of robots coordinate and perform collective tasks. Existing approaches to Learning and Collective Decision Making amongst a group of robots is complex. In this paper, we propose a simple model of learning and collective decision making in honey bees engaged in foraging for suitable nectar-sites. Our simple model takes into consi...

Creativity is individual, and it is social. The social aspects of creativity have become of increasing interest as systems have emerged that mobilize large numbers of people to engage in creative tasks. We examine research related to collective intelligence and differentiate work on collective creativity from other collective activities by analyzing systems with respect to the tasks that are pe...
