Introduction The business value research, after the initial findings of missing impact of IT systems, has focused on alternate mechanisms that affect performance of IT systems (Loveman 1994, Barua and Mukhopadhayay 2000, Brynjoffsson and Hitt 1996). Amongst the various processes that affect the value realization of IT, a critical factor is related to the complementary processes and mechanisms t...

In 7 experiments, undergraduates judged the force exerted by a videotaped standing puller, a computer-generated (stick-figure) puller, or a computer-generated inverted pendulum. Single and stepwise multiple regression analyses determined the kinematic variables exploited by the participants. Results show that (a) judgments correlated highly with force and improved with feedback; (b) judgments c...

In the 1920’s, Ritt studied the operation of functional composition g ◦ h(x) = g(h(x)) on complex rational functions. In the case of polynomials, he described all the ways in which a polynomial can have multiple ‘prime factorizations’ with respect to this operation. Despite significant effort by Ritt and others, little progress has been made towards solving the analogous problem for rational fu...

In the paper we establish some new results depending on the comparative growth properties of composition of entire functions using relative $L^{ast }$-order (relative $L^{ast }$-lower order) as compared to their corresponding left and right factors where $Lequiv Lleft( rright) $ is a slowly changing function.

This special issue on Differential Algebra and Differential Equations was the idea of Bob Caviness and Bruno Buchberger and originated from a special year in differential algebra that was organized by Raymond Hoobler and William Sit at The City College of New York during 1995–1996. It may interest the reader to recall the research environment under which the special year was started. As is well...

In this paper, we investigate the role of square functions defined for a d-tuple commuting Ritt operators $$(T_1,\ldots ,T_d)$$ acting on general Banach space X. Firstly, prove that if admits $$H^\infty $$ joint functional calculus, then it verifies various function estimates. Then study converse when every $$T_k$$ is R-Ritt operator. Under last hypothesis, and X K-convex space, show estimates ...

‎the aim of this paper is to study distribution of ratios of generalized order statistics from pareto distribution. parameter estimation of pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics and ratios of them have been obtained. inferences using method of moments and unbiased estimator have been obtained to develop point estimations. consistency of unbiased estimator has been illustrate...
