In the face of heighted competition, organizations need to continuously improve their competitive advantage. Both knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management systems (KMS) play a pivotal role in helping organizations to stay competitive. There is much research in KMS, however very little is known about how they affect individual and organizational performance. Drawing on task-technology ...

We revisit the evaporation process of gas from dwarf galaxies after it has been photo-ionized by the UV flux from the first stars and AGNs and heated to T ≃ 10 or 2 × 10K respectively. Earlier estimates, based on the balance between pressure and gravity, indicated that dark haloes of virial velocity lower than Vevap ≃ 11−13 kms −1 have lost most of their gas in a dynamical time. We follow the c...

Knowledge and culture are inextricably linked in organizations. Effective deployment of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) requires an understanding of the culture of the knowledge workers in the organization and their perceptions towards such systems. It would be a mistake to perceive the organization as a homogenous culture. Instead, organizations are composed of multiple subcultures that co-...

We report on the presence of numerous tiny bright dots in and around an emerging flux region (an X-ray/coronal point) observed with SolO's EUI/\hri\ 174 \AA. These are roundish, have a diameter 675$\pm$300 km, lifetime 50$\pm$35 seconds, intensity enhancement 30\% $\pm$10\% above their immediate surroundings. About half remain isolated during evolution move randomly slowly ($<$10 \kms). The oth...

Context-awareness is a common feature of contemporary knowledge management systems (KMS). The intended effect of context-awareness is to tailor appearance, functionality and behavior of KMS to the needs and individual preferences of knowledge workers and to contribute to flexibility in organizational KMS use by supporting the integration of knowledge use into work processes. The variability of ...

ing the previous discussion, spontaneous symmetry breaking involves: • a C∗-algebra A (e.g., of the form (4.3)) with time-evolution α : R→ Aut(A); • a symmetry group γ : G→ Aut(A) such that αtγg = γgαt for all t ∈ R, g ∈ G. • a groundor KMS-state ω on A for which ωg ≡ γ∗ gω 6= ω for some g ∈ G. Naively, one would conversely say that SSB is absent if a symmetric groundor KMSstate exists, but thi...
