This paper discusses Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) change management. A review of the research literature has been presented that focuses on the ERP change management factors. The literature is further classified and the major outcomes of each study have been addressed in this paper. The discussion is supported by a practical ERP project called Madar. The paper is targeted to investigate a...

More than 20 years ago, B. Fischer [5,6] started his pioneering work on groups generated by a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions, i.e., a conjugacy class of involutions D, such that for all d, e ∈ D, we have that [d, e] = 1 or 〈d, e〉 ' SL2(2). Fischer classified all finite groups G generated by a class of 3-transpositions under the additional assumptions that G′′ = G′ and O2(G) = O3(G) = Z(G) ...

Packet classification is a key building block of many network services and functionalities (e.g., switching, filtering, load balancing). Despite its prevalence, packet classification is implemented and deployed in an ad-hoc manner at different layers of the protocol stack. Moreover, high speed packet classification, in presence of arbitrarily large number of classification rules, is resource an...

Emotionally negative stimuli serve as a mechanism of biological preparedness to enhance attention. We hypothesized that emotionally negative stimuli would also serve as motivational priming to increase attention resources for subsequent stimuli. To that end, we tested 11 participants in a dual sensory modality task, wherein emotionally negative pictures were contrasted with emotionally neutral ...

Basically all organisms can be classified as determinate growers if their growth stops or almost stops at maturation, or indeterminate growers if growth is still intense after maturation. Adult size for determinate growers is relatively well defined, whereas in indeterminate growers usually two measures are used: size at maturation and asymptotic size. The latter term is in fact not a direct me...

This paper reports on a study that uses a combination of techniques to formally characterize and determine the critical success factors influencing the effective usage of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, with special reference to higher education institutions. The thirty-seven ERP success factors identified from the literature are classified into: Critical, Active, Reactive and Inert...

This study explored the effect of saliency and L1-L2 similarity on the processing of second language morphosyntax. ERP responses to violations of past tense morphology were obtained from adult intermediate French learners of English. Results show that participants processed L2-specific violations as salient events and not as morphosyntactic incongruities.

An advantage for bilingual relative to monolingual young adults has been found for cognitive control tasks, although this finding is not consistent in the literature. The present investigation further examined this advantage using three tasks previously found to be sensitive to the effect. Furthermore, both behavioral and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures were included. Monolingual (...
