Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the important process of how entrepreneurial identity is formed and constructed, with the perspective that entrepreneurial identity is social and dynamic, constantly shaped by various life episodes and human interactions, rather than static...

Purpose: Although scholars have provided sufficient empirical evidence on the effect of peer knowledge hiding on new product development (NPD) project team outcomes, little attention has been given to the relationship between project manager knowledge hiding and individual outcomes. Drawing on...

The optimal layout problem of circle group in a circular container with performance constraints of equilibrium belongs to a class of NP-hard problem. The key obstacle of solving this problem is the lack of an effective global optimization method. We convert the circular packing problem with...

Detecting evolutionary community structure in dynamic weighted networks is important for understanding the structure and functions of networks. In this paper, an algorithm which considers the historic community structure of networks is developed to detect evolutionary community structure in...

In the present work, three fatty acid eutectics of capric acid (CA)–lauric acid (LA), capric acid–palmitic acid (PA), and capric acid–stearic acid (SA) were prepared through melt-blending followed by ultrasonication and were investigated as model phase change materials (PCMs); for...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a distributed multiple mobile robot system that provides a collaborative control and simulation environment. Design/methodology/approach – A CORBA‐based cooperative system is designed to implement a robotic layered cooperative mechanism....

There is a unique threshold age separating early deaths from late deaths such that averting an early death decreases life disparity, but averting a late death increases inequality in lifespans.
