Do Glaciers Listen?: Local Knowledge, Colonial Encounters, and Social Imagination by Julie Cruikshank

Since the invention of magneto-optical trap (MOT), there have been several experimental and theoretical studies of the density distribution in these devices. To the best of our knowledge, only horizontal orbital traps have been observed, perpendicular to the coil axis.…

La innovación y la economía basada en el conocimiento, junto con las nuevas tecnologías que sirven de base para adaptar el modelo industrial europeo al siglo actual, se sitúan en el núcleo de las grandes declaraciones programáticas europeas que pretenden…

Organizational knowledge has always been an important subject, but in the last years this issue has acquired a greater importance, due to factors like the development of information technologies, scientific advances and global competition, among others. Knowledge management goes beyond…

In the last years the meaningful increment and application of knowledge management (KM) in diverse economic, social, cultural, organizational, technological and scientific areas, has given place to the generation of an important amount of models for the application and understanding…

The success of personal information agents depends on their capacity to both identify relevant information for users and proactively recommend context-relevant information. In this paper, we propose an approach to enable proactive context-aware recommendation based on the knowledge of both…

The importance of teaching, for the development of economies, cultures, and the enrichment of people’s lives cannot be overstated. These days biomass and bioenergy teaching has a pivotal role to play in influencing all of the aforementioned areas of life,…

In light of the static or declining contribution of scientists from the sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria, to the global production of scientific knowledge, this study collected and analyzed cross-sectional data on the scientific productivity of 77 researchers from the faculty…

Consider the random walk $S_n=\xi_1+\cdots+\xi_n$ with independent and identically distributed increments and negative mean $\mathbf E\xi=-m<0$. Let $M=\sup_{0\le i} S_i$ be the supremum of the random walk.  In this note we present derivation of asymptotics for $\mathbf P(M>x), x\to\infty$ for…

Roll-tensioning effects on natural frequencies in circular sawblades for woodcutting were investigated. Adequate knowledge of these effects will enable a more precise and repeatable tuning of natural frequencies, which will ease manufacturing and maintenance of sawblades. With natural frequencies tuned…
