This paper seeks to engage the organization theory community in contemporary
debates over the role of the cxxporation in American society by building a stakeholder
theory of the t%n. We develop a set of normative premises and positivist propositions

Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is an extension of Logic Programming capturing common-sense reasoning features. The DeLP language can manage defeasible reasoning, allowing the representation of defeasible and non- defeasible knowledge. Since DeLP syntax is based on a PROLOG-like notation, the…

L’objet de la présente étude est le développement, l’application et la diffusion de la technologie associée à divers types d’alliages de cuivre, en particulier l’alliage du plomb-bronze, en Grèce ancienne, dans ses colonies, ainsi qu’en Étrurie. Le plomb-bronze est un…

In this paper we are going to present a novel approach for spell checking algorithm. We used concepts like backtracking and alignment. This algorithm is helpful in educational tools where supply type questions are there. And domain knowledge is more…

The hemoglobin (VHb) from Vitreoscilla was the first bacterial hemoglobin discovered.  Its structure and function have been extensively investigated, and engineering of a wide variety of heterologous organisms to express VHb has been performed to increase their growth and productivity. …

This paper demonstrates that it is possible to generate a reasonably accurate coordinate system on randomly distributed processors, using only local information and local communication. By coordinate systems we imply that each element assigns itself a logical coordinate that maps…

The cognitive diagnosis is defined as the abstract process of gathering information about the student's learning and transforming that information based on instructional decisions. A model that captures the expert knowledge of experienced professors and is used to design a…

As a contribution to consider software projects to be risk investments, it is important the full standardization of either the planning methodology (as a subset of project management methodology) and the effort estimation method. We think there is important and…

The development of systems with the ability to reason about change notion and actions has been of great importance for the artificial intelligence community. The definition and implementation of systems capable of managing defeasible, incomplete, unreliable, or uncertain information has…

In logic programs, negation-as-failure has been used both for representing negative information and for providing default nonmonotonic inference. In this paper we argue that this twofold role is not only unnecessary for the expressiveness of the language, but it also…
