past five years of the potential for CMOS imagers and of the impending demise of the incumbent image-sensing technology, CCDs. Strong claims by the proponents of a resurgent CMOS technology have been countered by equally forceful claims by CCD defenders. In a pattern typical of battling technologies (both with significant merits but also lacking maturity in some regards), users have become leer...

Building on an institutionalist framework of the various organizational field-level pressures on firms to engage with the challenge of corruption, we analyse anti-corruption disclosures across a sample of 933 sustainability reports. Such reporting complements anti-corruption initiatives, as it allows the company to demonstrate its commitment. Our results show clear countryand sector-level diffe...

Here and there he would hesitate, whisper, or gesticulate to emphasise his story or induce the right emotions in his audience. No doubt troubadours were loved, they both brought news of the world as well as entertainment. The urge to share the highl...

Coupled with a paucity of suitable data are shortcomings in the training of experimental biologists in the application of pharmacometric principles to experimental study design....

This work considers the evolution of globular cluster systems in galaxies. Here globular cluster systems start with power-law mass functions φ ∼ M−α with slopes around 2.0, similar to what has been observed for the young luminous clusters seen in merging and interacting galaxies. We then follow the orbits of the clusters through their parent galaxy, allowing various destruction mechanisms to di...
