Integral projection models for species with complex demography.

by Stephen P Ellner , Mark Rees - American Naturalist , 2006
"... abstract: Matrix projection models occupy a central role in population and conservation biology. Matrix models divide a population into discrete classes, even if the structuring trait exhibits continuous variation (e.g., body size). The integral projection model (IPM) avoids discrete classes and po ..."

THE INFLUENCE OF PROCUREMENT ON PERFORMANCE OF INTEGRATED DESIGN IN CONSTRUCTION

by unknown authors
"... There is an emerging trend in the construction industry to adopt integrated design. It is expected that buildings defined using this approach will deliver better performance or better value for money. There are though, two opposing views regarding the changes to be done to adapt traditional design p ..."

that dictates relationships among the members of the team. The objective of the research is to study the influence of procurement on the performance of integrated design teams. It analyses integrated design through case studies reflecting these views. The research is conclusive regarding the influence

Alliance capability, collaboration quality, and alliance performance: An integrated framework. Eindhoven Centre for Innovation Studies, Working Paper 02.05

by Koen Heimeriks , Koen H Heimeriks , Melanie Schreiner
"... ABSTRACT Building on the complementary nature of transaction cost theory and the resourcebased view, this study examines alliance capability and collaboration quality as antecedents of alliance performance. Although various researchers have investigated the individual concepts' influences on a ..."

on alliance performance, an integrated view is missing. Building on earlier research, we propose an integrated framework, which links the firm-level concept of alliance capability with the dyadic level concept of collaboration quality, thus, increasing the understanding of the relationship between

Kernel-level measurement for integrated parallel performance views: the KTAU project

by Aroon Nataraj, Allen D. Malony, Sameer Shende, Alan Morris - in IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing , 2006
"... The effect of the operating system on application perfor-mance is an increasingly important consideration in high performance computing. OS kernel measurement is key to understanding the performance influences and the interre-lationship of system and user-level performance factors. The KTAU (Kernel ..."

THE INFLUENCE OF A Collaborative PROCUREMENT approach using INTEGRATED DESIGN in CONSTRUCTION ON project team PERFORMANCE

by Daniel Forgues, École De Technologie Supérieure, Lauri Koskela
"... Purpose- This paper aims to study the influence of procurement on the performance of integrated design teams. Design/methodology/approach- The research paradigm is based on Russian socio-constructivist approach to activity theory. Activity theory, as opposed to natural or social science, is a design ..."

DYNAMICALLY INTEGRATING KNOWLEDGE IN TEAMS: TRANSFORMING RESOURCES INTO PERFORMANCE

by Heidi K. Gardner, Francesca Gino, Harvard Universify, Bradley R. Staats
"... In knowledge-based environments, teams must develop a systematic approach to integrating knowledge resources throughout the course of projects in order to perform effectively. Yet many teams fail to do so. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, we examine how teams can develop a knowledge-i ..."

This paper is based on the premise that people’s behavioural competencies or characteristics of professional conduct influence the effectiveness and efficiency with which they perform a predetermined role in the software process. We propose a capabilities-oriented process model that includes traditi ..."
