(1) For every macro instruction I and for every integer location a holds card(if a = 0 then I; Goto(insloc(0)) else (StopSCMFSA)) = card I +6. (2) For every macro instruction I and for every integer location a holds card(if a > 0 then I; Goto(insloc(0)) else (StopSCMFSA)) = card I +6. Let a be an integer location and let I be a macro instruction. The functor while a = 0 do I yields a macro inst...

Utilizing the resource complementarity perspective of the resource based view (RBV) of a firm, and the literature on information technology (IT) and environmental sustainability as the guiding theoretical lenses, we posit that the relationships of electronic-government (e-government) development and electronic-business (ebusiness) development in a country with its environmental sustainability a...

In this study, we propose dynamic prioritization of image macro-blocks for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN). An encoding scheme is employed at the source node by labeling the blocks as “important” or “not-important” based on the information they contain. We introduce a set of novel priority measures to weigh importance of macro-blocks using their intrinsic properties. Experimental res...

Environmental stress has played a major role in the evolution of living organisms (Hoffman AA, Parsons PA. 1991. Evolutionary genetics and environmental stress. Oxford: Oxford University Press; Parsons PA. 2005. Environments and evolution: interactions between stress, resource inadequacy, and energetic efficiency. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 80:589-610). This is reflected by the massive and backg...

in the present-day world, the concept of internationalization plays a significant role in organizational achievements. therefore, it is crucial to identify the factors affecting the readiness of small and medium-sized enterprises to enter international markets. based on the conceptual model, environmental factors have been divided into external (macro and micro environment) and internal factors...

BACKGROUND As indicated by the ANGELO framework and similar models, various environmental factors influence population levels of physical activity (PA). To date attention has focused on the micro-level environment, while evidence on the macro-level environment remains scarce and mostly limited to high-income countries. This study aims to investigate whether environmental factors at macro-level ...

This paper starts out from the optimistic assumption that the basic policies for environmental economic development are known but uncertainties surround the speed of their adoption. In many developing countries the key obstacle is poor governance: consequently, renewable resources continue to be mined, non-renewable resources are depleted irresponsibly, and reductions in pollution intensity lag...
