T article analytically and experimentally investigates how firms can best capture the business value of information technology (IT) investments through IT contract design. Using a small sample of outsourcing contracts for enterprise information technology (EIT) projects in several industries—coupled with reviews of contracts used by a major enterprise software maker—the authors determine the co...

In the title triangulo-triruthenium(0) compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], the bis-(diphenyl-arsino)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphine ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphine ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. In addition, each Ru atom carries one equatorial and two axial terminal carbon...

Full reconstruction of neuron morphology is of fundamental interest for the analysis and understanding of neuron function. We have developed a novel method capable of tracing neurons in three-dimensional microscopy data automatically. In contrast to template-based methods, the proposed approach makes no assumptions on the shape or appearance of neuron's body. Instead, an efficient seeding appro...

Location Management of mobile users in a cellular network is considered from a performance and privacy point of view. Location management covers tracking functionality and paging (searching) functionality. After a risk analysis of location management w.r.t. privacy, we focus on the paging strategy. A sequential search strategy is proposed which reduces the signaling on the air interface and als...

This paper presents a framework to reason about the e ects of assignments in recursive data structures. We de ne an operational semantics for a core language based on Meyer's ideas for a semantics for the object-oriented language Ei el. A series of eld accesses, e.g. f1 • f2 • . . . • fn, can be seen as a path on the heap. We provide rules that describe how these multidot expressions are a ecte...
