The homebuilding process provides a useful structure to introduce the housing industry, but it does not fully explain the industry or its relationship with the innovation process. This chapter supplements Chapter Three by describing several of the industry’s overarching characteristics, by providing insight into the motives of its participants, and by highlighting examples of innovations that a...

In this paper we revisit several recent results on monotone and strictly monotone Hurwitz numbers, providing new proofs. In particular, we use various versions of these numbers to discuss methods of derivation of quantum spectral curves from the point of view of KP integrability and derive new examples of quantum curves for the families of double Hurwitz numbers.

We present evidence of a secondary school teacher’s Knowledge Mathematics Teaching when she teaches linear equations in word problem setting. focus on analyzing the examples and mathematics support that provides her students with during two classes. When faced contingencies, takes decisions whereby adapts or creates emerging action plans order to enrich help overcome their difficulties learn eq...

Purpose – To provide a broad understanding of knowledge management and how to successfully implement knowledge management. Design/methodology/approach – Using a wide range of technical, business and knowledge management-specific sources to explain the value and importance of knowledge management and the relative simplicity of the concept, the paper is divided into sections providing a definitio...

In this paper (chapter) I describe several classes of garbage collection algorithms, and provide a few examples (both real and hypothetical) of each. This collection is by no means complete; Cohen [Coh81] presents an exhaustive collection, but I am more interested in describing a few representative collectors in detail and providing examples for a later paper (chapter) on garbage collection and...

The purpose of this paper is to identify lessons relevant to sub-Saharan Africa that have been learned from various experiences around the world in restructuring of the telecommunications sector and efforts to extend service to unserved or underserved populations. Each lesson is documented with cases and examples, with a particular focus on developing countries, but examples from the U.S., Cana...

The first examples of a Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl boronic acids with sp(3) carbon partners are presented. Various boronic acids were shown to react with 1,3-diesters and 1,3-diketones to afford structurally unique carbonyl compounds. By employing 2-substituted 1,3-diesters, synthetically-challenging quaternary carbon centres were accessed. In total, 42 examples of aryl carbonyl compoun...
