Efficient management of toxicity information as an enterprise asset is increasingly important for the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries. Many organisations focus on better information organisation and reuse, in an attempt to reduce the costs of testing and manufacturing in the product development phase. Toxicity information is extracted not only from toxicity data but also...

An important goal in genomic research is the reconstruction of the complete picture of temporal interactions among all genes, but this inference problem is not tractable because of the large number of genes, the small number of experimental observations for each gene, and the complexity of biological networks. We focus instead on the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, which narrows the in...

We provide new evidence regarding the relationship between ownership and corporate performance by modelling the relationship between changes in these variables. The paper commences by confirming the results reported by Demsetz and Villalonga (2001) when modelling the relationship between ownership and performance levels. Fitting a generalised nonlinear model that nests models advanced previousl...

The recently developed traffic-responsive feedback control strategy HERO (HEuristic Ramp metering cOordination), that coordinates local ramp-metering actions in freeway networks, was implemented at the M1/M3 Freeway in Queensland, Australia. HERO employs an extended version of the feedback regulator ALINEA at the local level. HERO outperforms uncoordinated local ramp metering and approaches the...

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability are considered hot trends in today's modern trade systems. However, there seems to be scarcity the current literature of empirical studies linking CSR applications manufacturing organisations. This research aims investigate interrelationships between factors (commitment motivators) how they affect each other. A survey instrument was devel...
