This chapter aims to define a coherent theoretical framework enabling a broader understanding of the strategic entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) and to evaluate their effects on small firm growth. A sample made up of 211 small Portuguese firms from various different sectors of activity was surveyed by questionnaire. The results demonstrate how the life-cycle of companies, their resources, capac...

CdSe nanospheres and dendrites have been successfully synthesized via an ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal synthetic method. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Our experimental results demonstrate that the CdSe dendrites are obt...

The sieve element occlusion (SEO) gene family includes several members that are expressed specifically in immature sieve elements (SEs) in the developing phloem of dicotyledonous plants. To determine how this restricted expression profile is achieved, we analysed the SE-specific Medicago truncatula SEO-F1 promoter (PMtSEO-F1) by constructing deletion, substitution and hybrid constructs and test...

Abstract With the downturn in global socioeconomic panorama, social entrepreneurship orientation (SEO) and performance of non-profit organizations (NPOs) have become subject to growing levels attention. The objective this study is analyze influence SEO on NPOs. To end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based application survey NPOs, which received total 135 valid responses. Our results dem...

Three new genera of the family Phrurolithidae, Pennalithus n. gen., Corealithus gen. and Labialithus are described, pennatus (Yaginuma 1967) comb., coreanus (Paik 1991) comb. labialis respectively designated as type species. In addition to above species, four combinations proposed: splendidus (Song & Zheng 1992) P. palgongensis (Seo 1988) subnigerus (Fu, Chen Zhang 2016) lindemanni (Marusik, Om...

Ž . We examine the pricing of initial public offering IPO and seasoned equity offering Ž . SEO firms using a stochastic frontier methodology. The stochastic frontier framework models the difference between the maximum possible value of the firm and its actual market capitalization at the time of the offering as a function of observable firm characteristics. Using a new data set, we find that co...

Wie bereits im ersten Beitrag dieser Serie dargelegt, bedeutet Suchmaschinenoptimierung in Deutschland wegen des extrem großen Marktanteils von Google vor allem GoogleOptimierung. Auch beim Suchmaschinenmarketing ist wegen der hohen Reichweite vor allem an Google-AdWords-Kampagnen zu denken. Gemeinhin wird SEM, also die Schaltung bezahlter Anzeigen bei einer Suchmaschine (Keyword Advertising), ...

Revoking corrupted users is a desirable functionality for cryptosystems. Since Boldyreva, Goyal, and Kumar (ACM CCS 2008) proposed a notable result for scalable revocation method in identity-based encryption (IBE), several works have improved either the security or the efficiency of revocable IBE (RIBE). Currently, all existing scalable RIBE schemes that achieve adaptively security against decr...

Quantum Compiling Algorithms decompose (exactly, without approximations) an arbitrary 2B unitary matrix acting on NB qubits, into a sequence of elementary operations (SEO). There are many possible ways of decomposing a unitary matrix into a SEO, and some of these decompositions have shorter length (are more efficient) than others. Finding an optimum (shortest) decomposition is a very hard task,...

Black hat search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns attract and monetize traffic using abusive schemes. Using a combination of Web site compromise, keyword stuffing and cloaking, a SEO botnet operator can manipulate search engine rankings for key search terms, ultimately directing users to sites promoting some kind of scam (e.g., fake antivirus). In this paper, we infiltrate an influential SEO...
