Cause Chlamydiosis refers to an infection with organisms of the genus Chlamydia sp., which are bacteria that live within animal cells. Chlamydia psittaci is the species generally associated with this disease in birds. The severity of the disease differs by the strain of C. psittaci and the susceptibility of different species of birds. As a result, chlamydiosis may range from an inapparent infec...

The technique of lunar laser ranging (LLR) has for many decades contributed to cutting-edge tests of the fundamental nature of gravity. These include the best tests to date of the strong equivalence principle, the time-rate-of-change of the gravitational constant, gravitomagnetism, the inverse square law, and preferred frame effects. The phenomenologies of each are briefly discussed, followed b...

Our recently developed indoor RF Ranging technology allows new levels of accurate indoor localization based on carrier-phase measurements. Measuring the phase difference over multiple frequencies, and combining it with a novel multipath angle-of-arrival differentiation technique, we achieving accuracies of a few centimeters in direct line of sight, and a few tens of centimeters in non-direct li...

This paper proposes a model that suggests how firms could create strategic capabilities through IT outsourcing. We suggest how a firm adds value and reaps strategic benefits from IT outsourcing arrangements. A primary proposition is that, in the process of penetration of the managerial and technical capabilities of external vendors, managerial and social factors act as facilitators or inhibitor...
