Organizational sustainability is driven by effectiveness and adaptation. To be sustainable, an organization needs two things: (1) knowledge of its impacts on the world and (2) the capacity to learn and innovate in response (McElroy, 2006a). However, most learning and innovation systems in mainstream business are dysfunctional and unsustainable. In this paper, we propose to measure organizationa...

A family of Godunov-type central-upwind schemes for the Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations has been first introduced in [A. Kurganov and D. Levy, M2AN Math. Model. Numer. Anal., 36, 397-425, 2002]. Depending on the reconstruction step, the second-order versions of the schemes there could be made either well-balanced or positivity preserving, but fail to satisfy both properties simul...

an adaptive version of growing and pruning rbf neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement linear model-based predictive controller (lmpc) and non-linear model-based predictive controller (nmpc) strategies. a radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.an unscented kalman filter (ukf) algor...

We have observed 49 X-ray detected bright late B-type dwarfs to search for close low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) companions using the European Southern Observatory’s ADONIS (Adaptive Optics Near Infrared System) instrument. We announce the discovery of 21 new companions in 9 binaries, 5 triple, 4 quadruple system and 1 system consisting of five stars. The detected new companions have K magnitu...

In this paper, we present a parallel sorting algorithm for meshes of arbitrary dimension that generalizes two known algorithms for sorting on the two-dimensional mesh and on the hypercube, respectively. It uses a speciic indexing scheme, called generalized snake-like numbering. The algorithm has a running time of O(d 2 m log m) on the d-dimensional mesh with side length m. The advantages of the...

In this paper, a novel method of representing symbolic images in a symbolic image database (SID) invariant to image transformations, useful for exact match retrieval is presented. The proposed model is based on Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR) [Guru, D.S., Nagabhushan, P., 2001. Triangular spatial relationship: A new approach for spatial knowledge representation, Pattern Recognition Lett. ...
