management of project's knowledge is very effective in the performance of project management and carries a great portion in achieving the targets of organization and projects. in project-oriented organization, knowledge and experiences of projects play a crucial role. accurate identification and suitable application of knowledge in success of knowledge management is necessary. this combine...

In this paper we analyze the current situation of education in universities, with particular reference to the European scenario. Specifically, we observe that recent evolutions, such as pervasive networking and other enabling technologies, have been dramatically changing human life, knowledge acquisition, and the way works are performed and people learn. In this societal change, universities mu...

This paper focuses on organizational learning and knowledge management through research joint ventures (RJVs) and explores the conditions that influence RJV performance. Using data from 247 Europeans firms involved in RJVs we identified four groups of RJVs according to the perceived value of RJV and the RJV performance. The effect of the locus of RJV and the learning and knowledge management on...

Nowadays, techniques for education are based on the combination of theoretical formulas, experimental measurement and simulation approaches. Theoretical analysis, experimental and simulation approaches based educations allow developing simple and non expensive tools for the aim of studying complex problems in optical network communication. Theoretical formulas, used to describe the non linear e...

Older adults are often susceptible to confusing or forgetting medical instructions. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of causal knowledge on the learning and retention of medical information among younger and older adults. Participants were asked to read about a fictitious disease with or without explanations on the cause-and -effects of illness management. A multiple-...

A model is developed and demonstrated for simulating echosounder and sonar observations of fish schools with specified shapes and composed of individuals having specified target strengths and behaviors. The model emulates the performances of actual multi-frequency echosounders and multi-beam echosounders and sonars and generates synthetic echograms of fish schools that can be compared with real...

Sign languages can be learned effectively only with frequent feedback from an expert in the field. The expert needs to watch a performed sign, and decide whether the sign has been performed well based on his/her previous knowledge about the sign. The expert’s role can be imitated by an automatic system, which uses a training set as its knowledge base to train a classifier that can decide whethe...

First developed by Xerox in 1979, benchmarking provides measurement and comparison to improve processes and achieve higher performance. Benchmarking has proven a powerful tool for total quality management and process improvement. Successful benchmarking implementation is based on an effective benchmarking tool. To effectively implement benchmarking processes, this work proposes an integrated fr...

Sharing of knowledge, information, and practices across cultural and national boundaries has become a means to address critical global problems. As government agencies increasingly collaborate with international counterparts on these issues, transnational knowledge and information sharing networks grow in importance as mechanisms for collaboration. This paper explores the nature of Transnationa...
