In this study, I systematically investigate the evolving contributions and gaps that exist in the international strategic management (ISM) literature. The research I present here reviews leading international business and strategic management journals from 1991 through 2000. The research investigates the topics that have been examined in ISM research, theoretical perspectives employed, outlets ...

This paper overall aims to encourage researchers and managers to consider the role of human resource management (HRM) in the field of information security management (ISM) more seriously. This paper suggests that with more strategically active role of HRM through a combination of selection, training, and pay practices, organizations not only can manage people issues in ISM particularly security...

We have used archival ROSAT data to present X-ray images of thirty-one supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We have classified these remnants according to their X-ray morphologies, into the categories of Shell-Type, Diffuse Face, Centrally Brightened, Point-Source Dominated, and Irregular. We suggest possible causes of the X-ray emission for each category, and for indi...

To study the evolution of high-mass cores, we have searched for evidence of collapse motions in a large sample of starless cores in the Orion molecular cloud. We used the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory telescope to obtain spectra of the optically thin (HCO ) and optically thick (HCO ) high-density tracer molecules in 27 cores with masses 11 M . The redand blue-asymmetries seen in the line pr...

We investigate the ability of high resolution X-ray spectroscopy to directly probe the grain composition of the interstellar medium. Using iron K-edge experimental data of likely ISM dust candidates taken at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, we explore the prospects for determining the chemical ...

We present a 5–37 μm infrared spectrum obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope toward the southeastern lobe of the young protostellar outflow HH211. The spectrum shows an extraordinary sequence of OH emission lines arising in highly excited rotational levels up to an energy E/ k ≈ 28200K above the ground level. This is, to our knowledge, by far the highest rotational excitation of OH observed...

Effective star formation rates in tabular form are computed which yield a prescription for the star formation activity in model galaxies as a function of ambient density, metallicity, and stellar feedback. The effects of supernova explosions on the thermal balance of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and the presence of a multi-phase ISM are explicitly included. The resulting grid of models can be ...

We investigate the propagation of a shock wave into a warm neutral medium and cold neutral medium by one-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations with detailed treatment of thermal and chemical processes. Our main result shows that thermal instability inside the shock-compressed layer produces a geometrically thin, dense layer in which a large amount of hydrogen molecules is formed. Linear stabili...
