We analyse an empirical case study of an inter-organizational information system (IOIS) in theAustralian pharmaceutical distribution industry, using a theoretical data coding approach, toprovide a concise grounded account of changes in the material, normative and ideationalstructures within the...

Parallel programming of MIMD machines with distributed memory is typically based on standardmessage passing libraries such as MPI [1], which leads to platform independent and efficientsoftware. However, the programming level is rather low, and the development of a parallel applicationcan be a...

Leptokurtic distributions can be generated by applying certainnon-linear transformations to a standard normal random variable. Withinthis work we derive general conditions for these transformations which guaranteethat the generated distributions are ordered with respect to the partialordering of...

Using the Gaussian distribution as statistical model for data sets is widely spread, especiallyin practice. However, departure from normality seems to be more the rule than theexception. The H-distributions, introduced by Tukey (1960, 1977), are generated by a singletransformation...

In the literature there are several generalizations of the standard logistic distribution. Most of them are included in the generalized logistic distribution of type IV or EGB2 distribution. However, this four parameter family fails in modeling skewness absolutly greater than 2 and kurtosis...

We analyze the asset allocation decisions of different investor groups and investigate how their investmentbehavior changes with macroeconomic conditions. Using a new data set that includes themonthly portfolio holdings of private, commercial, and institutional investors deposited with...
