every firm learns through firm specific methods. this learning process is operationalized by firm’s knowledge management practices. therefore, knowledge to result in successful learning should be assisted by a combinative framework which can enhance a firms’ absorptive capability. this in turn will play a decisive role for achieving competitive advantage. current literature in strategic managem...

We demonstrate a method to measure a purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional (3D) electronic spectrum based on a pulse-shaper assisted pump-probe beam geometry setup. The 3D spectra are measured as a function of two independently controlled population times. With phase-cycling and data processing, purely absorptive 3D spectra of chlorophyll a are obtained.

Due to increase in the number of goods carrying tricycles, the amount of noise and pollution on our roads has increased. To optimize the control of the engine noise emission for tricycle, different absorptive material liners have been introduced into muffler design. In this study, the performance of Aerogel, Ceramic, Kenaf fibre, Polyester and Rockwool as absorptive material liners on the trans...

Intestinal absorptive cells may modulate both the structure and function of occluding junctions by a cytoskeleton dependent mechanism (Madara, J. L., 1983, J. Cell Biol., 97:125-136). To further examine the putative relationship between absorptive cell occluding junctions and the cytoskeleton, we assessed the effects of cytochalasin D (CD) on occluding junction function and structure in guinea ...

BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to increase intestinal absorptive surface area and transport function in normal animals. AIMS To examine the effect of EGF on absorptive surface area and brush border membrane function in a model of massive small bowel resection. METHODS New Zealand white rabbits were randomised into two groups: a resected group (60% proximal small bow...

This paper describes a novel 3-port absorptive limiter for frequency selective circuits based on a configuration similar to a conventional 90o hybrid coupler. This circuit uses the switching behavior of common diodes to change between the nonlimiting and absorptive limiting states. Theoretical descriptions and designs are presented along with prototypes based on PIN diodes. Measurements of the ...

We develop the technique of inverse Mellin transform for processes occurring in a background magnetic field. We show by analyticity that the energy (momentum) derivatives of a field theory amplitude at the zero energy (momentum) is equal to the Mellin transform of the absorptive part of the amplitude. By inverting the transform, the absorptive part of the amplitude can be easily calculated. We ...

Absorptive corrections to the one pion exchange and measurability of the small-x pion structure function at HERA Abstract We compare the absorptive corrections to the one pion exchange in pp → Xn and ep → e ′ Xn reactions. It is shown that the absorption is stronger in the case of pp collision. The difference in strength of the absorption for the pp → Xn and ep → e ′ Xn reactions breaks the fac...

In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
