For several decades, Restoration studies have noted deficiencies in the treatment of the theology of leadership and of practical ecclesiology. This paper responds to the lack of research linking ecclesiology to organizational design and to the theology of leadership in the Church of Christ tradition by building upon the ecclesiological framework composed of theological tradition, church metapho...

In this note we use a functional approach to the integral to obtain a special case of the Keisler-Fubini theorem; the general case can be obtained with a similar proof. An immediate appUcation is the standard Fubini theorem for products of Radon measures. Similar methods give the Weil formula for quotient groups of compact Abelian groups.

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

In the history of adoption research, subjective norm mostly remains as the unloved child, being significant in this analysis and not significant in that analysis. Already Davis et al. had to exclude subjective norm of the Technology Acceptance Model due to theoretical and measurement problems. Overall the results of subjective norm as an antecedent for behavioral intention in IS research are qu...

conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. a numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. reservoir is modeled using the eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. dynamic equilibr...

Background. In order to minimize overtraining, a reliable method is required to analyze training loads. Objectives. The objective of this study was to see if session Rate of Perceived Exertion (sRPE) is a valuable tool for tracking changes in perceived training load and strain among Malaysia rugby 15-a-side players during preparation for a significant game. Methods. Twenty-eight (n=28) elite ...

with the complexity and amount of information in a wide variety of comparative performance reports in poultry production, making a decision is difficult. this problem is overcomed only when all data can be put into a common unit. for this purpose, five different decision making analysis approaches including  maximin, equally likely, weighted average, ordered weighted averages and technique for ...
