Information systems outsourcing is a constantly growing practice in all sorts of organisations. This paper analyses the level of information systems outsourcing at Spanish public universities. It also means to determine if factors such as the size, both of universities…

A procedure to determine the best image range of distances that can be obtained from an aphakic eye is presented. Corneal surfaces are calculated from videokeratographic data. Light distributions at different distances inside the eye are calculated with a near-field…

We propose a new algorithm to obtain the color matching functions of any digital camera, with correct weights and white balance, from the relative scaling of their complete (3-D) spectral sensitivities obtained from real spectroradiometric data. Thanks to this algorithm,…

Mutations A49P and [Delta]47-53 at the T loop of the Escherichia coli GlnB (PII) protein impair regulatory interactions with the two-component sensor regulator NtrB (P. Jiang, P. Zucker, M. R. Atkinson, E. S. Kamberov, W. Tirasophon, P. Chandran, B. R.…

The theory of quality management has been studied from different areas: quality leaders' ideas, empirical research and formal evaluation models. This has helped identify a set of critical factors for a successful implementation, as a way to improve customer satisfaction…

We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to analyze protein-protein interactions mediated by domains of regulatory proteins of the ntr signal transduction system, including interactions among NtrB derivatives and their interactions with NtrC and PII from Klebsiella pneumoniae. Interactions took…

Within the general frame of proposals for an adequate management of business ethics, this paper is based on the vision of corporate culture as a pattern to achieve such purpose. If we consider ethics as a specific value of corporate…

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) material containing 20 wt% vinyl acetate (EVA20) was
treated with corona discharge to improve its adhesion to polychloroprene adhesive. Several experimental variables in the corona discharge treatment of EVA20 were considered: corona energy, type of electrode,…

This paper presents an object recognition technique based on projective geometry for industrial pieces that
satisfy geometric properties. First at all, we consider some methods of corner detection which are useful
for the extraction of interest points in digital images.…

Despite its being the first testimony of Chaucer’s genius, the interest of modern criticism in the Romaunt has mainly focused on the issue of authorship, whereas the efforts to assess this text as a translation have been limited both in…
