Sambanis, Nicholas - In: Journal of Conflict Resolution 48 (2004) 6, pp. 814-858

The empirical literature on civil war has seen tremendous growth because of the compilation of quantitative data sets, but there is no consensus on the measurement of civil war. This increases the risk of making inferences from unstable empirical results. Without ad hoc rules to code its start...

The application of social semiotic theory to visual elements within corporate positioning material and the development of a viable methodology

Watts, Reginald; Sriramesh, Krishnamurthy - In: Journal of Communication Management 8 (2004) 4, pp. 384-394

This paper selects social semiotic and critical discourse concepts and argues their suitability as an analytical technique for application to the visual elements in corporate positioning literature. Based upon these arguments the paper develops a methodology for use by senior practitioners. The...

Managing knowledge in a software organization

Mathiassen, Lars; Pourkomeylian, Pouya - In: Journal of Knowledge Management 7 (2003) 2, pp. 63-80

This paper explores the practical usage of insights on knowledge management (KM) to support innovation in a software organization. The organization has for some time engaged in software process improvement (SPI) initiatives to improve its operation. The paper applies two complementary approaches...

On the reliability (or otherwise) of SIC codes

Jacobs, Gabriel; O’Neill, Cliona - In: European Business Review 15 (2003) 3, pp. 164-169

Researchers often make use of SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes when gathering and analysing data about the activities of companies. The use of these codes is, however, fraught with potential difficulties, errors easily creeping in and consequently distorting results. This paper...

Playing with mixed strategies on infinite sets

Löwe, Benedikt - In: International Journal of Game Theory 31 (2002) 1, pp. 137-150

We prove that the property of having a value and Vervoort's Strong Zero-One Law transfer from infinite perfect information games played with mixed strategies on finite sets to those on countable sets.

Multifractal characterisation of length sequences of coding and noncoding segments in a complete genome

Yu, Zu-Guo; Anh, Vo; Lau, Ka-Sing - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 301 (2001) 1, pp. 351-361

The coding and noncoding length sequences constructed from a complete genome are characterised by multifractal analysis …. The dimension spectrum Dq and its derivative, the ‘analogous’ specific heat Cq, are calculated for the coding and … Dq and Cq curves, it is seen that there exists a clear difference between the coding/noncoding length sequences of all …
