Capturing and diffusing the knowledge generated on projects is highly problematic due to the idiosyncratic, complex and dynamic nature of projects. In particular, the recurrent re-organisation required by projects – especially the constant re-formation of project teams – militates against the systematic codification of knowledge or its embodiment in the knowledge base of project teams. This pap...

* Now with: Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, England. Abstract A notion of object ownership is introduced as a solution to difficult problems of specifying and reasoning about complex linked structures and of modeling aggregates (composite objects). Syntax and semantics are provided for extending Eiffel with language support for object ownership annotatio...

The familiar division of compact Riemann surfaces into 3 cases g = 0, g = 1 and g ≥ 2 corresponds to the well known trichotomy of spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic non-Euclidean plane geometry. Classification aims to treat all projective algebraic varieties in terms of this trichotomy; the model is Castelnuovo and Enriques’ treatment of surfaces around 1900 (reworked by Kodaira in the 1960s)....

The kinetics of a periodically driven nonlinear oscillator, bistable in a nearly resonant field, has been investigated theoretically and through analogue experiments. An activation dependence of the probabilities of fluctuational transitions between the coexisting attractors has been observed, and the activation energies of the transitions have been calculated and measured for a wide range of p...

Absenteeism is an issue that has grown in importance over the past few years; however, little has been done to explore the impact of presenteeism on individual and organisational performance and well-being. This article is based on interviews collected in nine case study organisations in the UK. Two sector organisations (one private and one public) were studied to examine absence management and...

In a market in which prices might be thought to be competitive, we find substantial divergences between prices for given brands available at different outlets. The price pattern is consistent with there being market power at the manufacturer and retailer level with vertical linkages between manufacturers and their retail "equity chains" being important. For example tyre chains owned by manufact...
