INTRODUCTION Co-leadership has been identified as one approach to meet the managerial challenges of integrated services, but research on the topic is limited. In the present study, co-leadership, practised by pairs of managers - each manager representing one of the two principal organizations in integrated health and social care services - was explored. AIM To investigate co-leadership in int...

The main aim of this study was to examine the effect of education on economic growth in Jordan over the period 1976-2007. Co-integration analysis was adoptedwith five variables: Real Gross National Product (RGNP), Capital (K), Labor (L), Expenditure on Education (EDU), and Technology (T). Two unit root tests (DickeyFuller Test and Philips-Perron Test) have been employed to test the integration ...

The design of Systems-on-Chip is becoming an increasing difficult challenge due to the continuous exponential evolution of the targeted complex architectures and applications. Thus, seamless methodologies and tools are required to resolve the SoC design issues. This chapter presents a high level component based approach for expressing system reconfigurability in SoC co-design. A generic model o...

Monolithic integration of Al2O3:Er3+ amplifier technology with passive silicon-on-insulator waveguides is demonstrated. A signal enhancement of >7 dB at 1533 nm wavelength is obtained. The straightforward wafer-scale fabrication process, which includes reactive co-sputtering and subsequent reactive ion etching, allows for parallel integration of multiple amplifier and laser sections with silico...
