Today's information technology (IT) sourcing endeavors have moved beyond outsourcing through the implementation of multisourcing. Multisourcing can be defined as the blending of services from multiple company-internal and companyexternal suppliers. The increasing importance of multisourcing is acknowledged by both practitioners and researchers. However, multisourcing has not been sufficiently c...

Universities are investing considerable resources into blended learning as an institutional strategy to respond to pressures of uncertain economies, increasing globalisation, and the changing expectations of cohorts of digitally savvy students. However, the widespread adoption of effective blended teaching practices has generally not been achieved. A greater understanding of academics’ blended ...

In recent years, the management of intellectual capital has attracted a lot of attention by researchers and practitioners. Theoretical models of intellectual capital management (ICM) have been presented (e.g. [Ro97]), and companies and research institutions have published intellectual capital reports. Intellectual capital is usually referred to as the part of a company’s resources that does not...

in this paper we are going to show the importance of mode identification in microtremor array analysis. the idea come from four concentric ambient noise array recordings with aperture 100 to 1000 meters, performed in southern urban area of tehran near the shrine of imam khomeini. these measurements were part of a comprehensive research project with the aim of determination of deep shear wave ve...

In this manuscript, higher-order Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes and parameters affecting vortex in the radiation pattern have been studied. A uniform circular array resonating at 10 GHz frequency is formed using eight identical rectangular patch antennas. Three uniform circular arrays are analyzed, simulated, and fabricated for OAM modes 0, +1, and -1 respectively. The higher-order OAM mo...

Our aim in this paper is to present a framework in which the results of Waldspurger and Gross–Zagier can be viewed simultaneously. This framework may also be useful in understanding recent work of Zhang, Xue, Cornut, Vatsal, and Darmon. It involves a blending of techniques from representation theory and automorphic forms with those from the arithmetic of modular curves. I hope readers from one ...

This study investigates how blending of different instructional approaches with technology affects students’ engagement. A computer networks course was designed and implemented for the first eight weeks of the semester as a lecture-based blended learning environment and for the second eight weeks of the semester as a problem-based blended learning environment. A single group repeated measures r...

Twitter has provided a social platform for everyone to enter the previously exclusive world of the internet, enriching this online social tapestry with cultural diversity and enabling revolutions. We believe this same tool can be used to also change the world of music creation. Thus we present MMODM, an online drum machine based on the Twitter streaming API, using tweets from around the world t...
