How do information technology capabilities contribute to firm performance? This study develops a conceptual model linking IT-enabled information management capability with three important organizational capabilities (customer management capability, process management capability, and performance management capability). We argue that these three capabilities mediate the relationship between infor...

Phyllite and quartzite, probably Precambrian, trend meridionally and dip steeply in the New River Gorge above the junction with the Salisbury River in southern Tasmania. Further upstream an association of silty dolomite and conglomerate is less deformed and may be younger. Siliceous conglomerate boulders occur in the New River below the gorge. Late Ordovician carbonates of the Gordon Group are ...

The most common cause of cavitation in progressive massive fibrosis (PMF) in patients with silicosis is infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, cavitation of PMF as a result of ischaemic necrosis has also ben identified as a rare entity in silicosis. A 40-year-old male, non-smoker, working as a stonecutter for 30 years presented with a five years history of exertional breathlessness...

study area is located in district of bajestan and ferdows cities, ne of iran. structurally, this area is part of lut block. the oldest exposed rocks, to the north of intrusive rocks and in eastern bajestan, are meta-chert, slate, quartzite, thin-bedded crystalline limestone and meta-argillite. the sedimentary units are: sardar formation (carboniferous), jamal formation (permian), sorkh shale an...

We document a trend towards fewer and more-focused conglomerates, and develop a model that explains these patterns based on increasing technological specialization. In the model, diversification adds value by allowing efficient within-firm resource reallocation. However, synergies decrease with technological specialization, leading to fewer diversified firms over time. Also, the optimal level o...

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology, number 25, 20 pages, 6 figures, 1975.•In the western Beaver Divide area in west-central Wyoming, a lens of coarse Tertiary volcanic conglomerate and tuff disconfqrmably overlies Uintan rocks of the Wagon Bed Formation. The coarse volcan...

Abstract When taken as a conglomerate, the postcolonial, global, and decolonial might signal coordinated “decolonizing” action—one of breaking with Eurocentric, patriarchal, nationalist foundations art history. Yet from disaggregating perspective, these three terms their respective domains cannot be seen synonymous or entirely harmonious. What particularly demands scrutiny is tendency to dismis...

Fan deltas of the Lower Cretaceous area in Saihantala sag, Erlian Basin have been identified as major petroleum exploration opportunities. The sedimentary evolution is, however, still debatable, which hinders insights into its controlling factors. This research employed new core observations, thin section and grain size analyses 28 wells Saidong sub-sag, together with numerous borehole seismic ...

This paper is concerned with information structures used in rigid formations of autonomous agents that have leaderfollower architecture. The focus of this paper is on sensor/network topologies to secure control of rigidity. We extend our previous approach for formations with symmetric neighbor relations to include formations with leader-follower architecture. Necessary and sufficient conditions...
