Many disciplines pursue research into organisations. Organisational size, as a frequent research variable in the IS literature, has received considerable application but little critical examination. This paper examines the content and construct validity of the organisational size construct. A survey of research papers published in six leading IS journals over an eleven year period finds 21 fact...

the subgroups of symplectic groups which fix a non-zero vector of the underlying symplectic space are called emph{affine subgroups.}~the split extension group $a(4)cong 2^7{:}sp_6(2)$ is the affine subgroup of the symplectic group $sp_8(2)$ of index $255$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we use the technique of the fischer-clifford matrices to construct the character table of the inertia group $2^7{:}o^{-}_...

In this survey the role of Jacobi’s last multiplier in mechanical systems with a position dependent mass is unveiled. In particular, we map the Liénard II equation ẍ + f(x)ẋ + g(x) = 0 to a position dependent mass system. The quantization of the Liénard II equation is then carried out using the point canonical transformation method together with the von Roos ordering technique. Finally we show ...

Constructing quality assessment rubrics can be challenging, especially when they are used for integrated, group-centered, applied learning. We describe a collaborative assessment task in which groups of second-year dentistry students developed a complex concept map. In groups of four, the students were given a written, simulated, medical history of a patient and required to construct a concept ...
