The association between Strategy and Financial Performance is commonly used in scientific research. However, the dichotomy deliberate emergent strategies, although already discussed by several researchers, does not have a consensus literature. Also, predominant practice academy investigates financial perspective of performance usually consider its plural aspects. Based on this reflection, theor...

Abstract: In article is considered the problem development mathematical model of the mechanism of parallel structure type of hexapod. The received model describes kinematic and dynamic properties of object. At the kinematic analysis are formed the matrix of transformation which depends from linear and rotational moving of platform. As a result of transformations we receive expressions establish...

Parallel manipulators (PMs) have been the subject of study, of much robotic research during the past three decades. A parallel manipulator (PM) is a closed loop kinematic chain mechanism, that is connected to the base via multiple independent chains. The scope of this research work is to perform the position analyses of the three degrees of freedom PMs (TRIPOD and TRI-GLIDE). The present work h...

The evolutional optical behaviours (turn-on dynamics) of a four-level double-control tripod-configuration (electromagnetically induced transparency) system are considered based on the transient solution to the equation of motion of the probability amplitudes of the atomic levels. As the most remarkable property (quantum interference between the two control transitions) will arise in the present...

We describe a technique for creating superpositions of degenerate quantum states, such as are needed for beam splitters used in matter-wave optics, by manipulating the timing of three orthogonally polarized laser beams through which moving atoms (or molecules) pass; motion across the laser beams produces pulses in the atomic rest frame. As illustrated with representative simulations for transit...

Background: Learning portfolios are increasingly being introduced in higher education including undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Due to their highly personalized nature, creation of an assessment tool that accurately reflects the value for the learner of the “work” created is challenging, and has prevented a more widespread use of this valuable tool. Innovation & Evaluation: Fo...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the influence ofpencil grasp on handwriting legibility during both short and long writing tasks in 46fourth-grade students who were typically developing. Matched samples were used to controlfor variability. METHOD Regular classroom writing assignments were scoredfor word and letter legibility, and scores were compared using a mixed repeated-measures analysis of v...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability of pinch strength testing in elderly subjects with thumb CMC OA. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 27 patients with unilateral right-thumb CMC OA (mean ± SD age: 81.3 ± 4.7 years) were recruited. Each patient performed three pain-free maximal isometric contractions on each hand on two occasions, one week apart. Three dif...
