Kambeiz Talebi, the author of the Article discusses the urgent needfor topmanagers to change their style in small entrepreneurial firms during a business life cycle. Although most leadership theories assume that it is an easy task, but the case studies and practical experience suggest the opposite - managers find it hard to move from an innovative style when the company is young to taskoriente...

in this study, we introduce and study a concept of distributed fuzzymodeling. fuzzy modeling encountered so far is predominantly of a centralizednature by being focused on the use of a single data set. in contrast to this style ofmodeling, the proposed paradigm of distributed and collaborative modeling isconcerned with distributed models which are constructed in a highly collaborativefashion. i...

INTRODUCTION The global increase in childhood overweight and obesity has been ascribed partly to increases in children's screen time. Parents have a large influence on their children's screen time. Studies investigating parenting and early childhood screen time are limited. In this study, we investigated associations of parenting style and the social and physical home environment on watching TV...

We examine how investors perceive audit quality when regulators adopt different enforcement styles to communicate inspection findings, and the firm responds findings. employed a 2 × 3 between‐subjects experimental design, with regulatory style (critical or supportive) response (defensive actions remedial control) as independent variables. find that relatively high level of chooses take actions,...

The AI field started out with grand dreams of human-level artificial general intelligence. During the last half-century, enthusiasm for these grand AI dreams – both within the AI profession and in society at large -has risen and fallen repeatedly, each time with a similar pattern of high hopes and media hype followed by overall disappointment. Throughout these fluctuations, though, research and...

Assessment of left ventricular outflow tract (LVO) width was made from preoperative mitral valve echocardiograms in 26 patients with pure or predominant mitral stenosis who later had valve replacement. LVO width was measured as the minimum space between the ventricular septal echo and the anterior mitral leaflet at beginning systole. Prosthesis encroachment on LVO (PE) was estimated by comparin...

In the title compound, C(26)H(32)N(4), the essentially planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0053 and 0.0242 Å) benzimidazole fragments are trans with respect to a central ethene fragment, and are canted in opposite directions by 2.78 (6) and 5.87 (6)° with respect to the ethene plane, giving the mol-ecule a propeller conformation. The terminal ethyl fragments of the pendant n-propyl groups protrude t...

The contractile tail of bacteriophage T4 undergoes major structural transitions when the virus attaches to the host cell surface. The baseplate at the distal end of the tail changes from a hexagonal to a star shape. This causes the sheath around the tail tube to contract and the tail tube to protrude from the baseplate and pierce the outer cell membrane and the cell wall before reaching the inn...
