This mini-track builds on last year’s Foundations mini-track that attracted a large and enthusiastic audience. The minitrack looks at the theoretical foundations of knowledge management, organizational memory and organizational learning. Of particular concern is how to use information systems to convert tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge to create an organizational memory, and how to effecti...

Knowledge management helps organizations to exploit and develop resources, improve their competitiveness and develop sustainable competitive advantage. Main focus of the research in KM is on theoretical concepts, approaches, and sustaining tools for human knowledge management. KM plans to manage knowledge by organizing formal and direct method to manage organizational knowledge in the workplace...

The properties of the annual, semiannual and triennial oscillations (AO, SAO and TO) in 15 the middle atmosphere have been investigated using the TIMED/SABER temperature data. The 16 lomb-Scargle and wavelet spectra were used to determine the dominant oscillations in the 17 background temperature field. The AO is prominent at the mid-latitudes. The AO amplitudes 18 present an asymmetry between ...

Iceberg C-18a (35 7 0.184 km) was studied repeatedly by five circumnavigational surveys in March-April 2009. During the period of the surveys, C-18a travelled 109 nautical miles in 23 days covering an area of 8.1 10 km. This iceberg was formed from iceberg C-18 (76 7 km) that originated from the Ross Ice Shelf in May, 2002. Ship-based measurements show that this iceberg produced fresh meltwater...

The transition to turbulence in pipe and plane Couette flow differs from the better understood situation of Taylor-Couette or Rayleigh-Bénard flow in that the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations for all Reynolds numbers. Moreover, even when turbulent flow is established, it can spontaneously return to laminar flow. These observations are compatible with the formation o...

By the late 1800s, both phenacetin and acetanilide were used as analgesics and antipyretics, but their acceptance was limited by significant side effects including methemoglobinemia. N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is a major metabolite of phenacetin and acetanilide, and is responsible for, both analgesia and antipyresis. APAP was synthesized in 1878 and has a low risk of causing methemoglobinemi...

introduction: gluten is a protein found in grains.  research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals.  while gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. is it healthful?  the protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful.  an estimated 95% of prepared food...

A revision of the shore-fly genus Hydrochasma Hendel. The species of the genus Hydrochasma Hendel are revised, including 27 new species (type locality in parenthesis): H. andeum (Ecuador. Guayas: Boliche (02°07.7'S, 79°35.5'W)), H. annae (United States. Utah. Grand: Swasey Beach (15.3 km N Green River; 39°07'N, 110°06.6'W; Green River; 1255 m)), H. capsum (Ecuador. Orellana: RíoTiputini (0°38.2...
