Entrepreneurial ventures rely not only on founders, but also on “joiners” – startup employees who are attracted to entrepreneurship but do not want to be founders themselves. Drawing upon both individual and contextual-level perspectives of entrepreneurship, we examine how interests in being a founder or a joiner form prior to the first career transition. We find that individuals with founder a...

CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON2 (CUC2) and the interacting microRNA miR164 regulate leaf margin dissection. Here, we further investigate the evolution and the specific roles of the CUC1 to CUC3 genes during Arabidopsis thaliana leaf serration. We show that CUC2 is essential for dissecting the leaves of a wide range of lobed/serrated Arabidopsis lines. Inactivation of CUC3 leads to a partial suppression o...

Transimpedance or current feedback amplifiers are still relatively new to audio applications, since they are pri­ marily designed for video circuits. While the AD846 (an early high-per­ formance example) was successfully used in TAA,1 transimpedance amps may not be completely familiar de­ vices (The AD846 data sheet contains a detailed discussion of transimped­ ance amplifier theory). Interesti...

Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) is a classical technique to improve search engine retrieval effectiveness, by closing the vocabulary gap between users’ query formulations and relevant documents. While PRF typically applied on same target corpus as final retrieval, in past, external expansion techniques have sometimes been obtain high-quality pseudo-relevant set using . However, such approaches ...
