cognition phenomenon. We think that the approaches represented by two recent theory papers have the potential to become known in such a manner. Baron (2006b) recently presented a paper at the Academy of Management meetings on entrepreneurial affect. Also, McMullen and Shepherd's (2006) recent article

serious performance and scalability challenges. In this paper, we present a methodology for performance evaluation of MOM platforms using the SPECjms2007 standard benchmark. SPECjms2007 is based on a novel application in the supply chain management domain designed to stress MOM infrastructures in a manner

This paper examines whether cross-listing in the U.S. reduces foreign firms ’ cost of capital. While prior studies document that U.S. cross-listings are associated with substantial increases in firm value, the sources of these valuation effects are not well understood. We estimate the cost

Abstract. We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a particular emphasis on nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of such self-propelled entities in the framework of statistical mechanics. Examples of such active units in complex physico-chemical and biological systems are chemically pow-ered nano-rods, localized patterns in reaction-diffusion system, motile cells or macroscopic animals. Based on the description of individual motion of point-like active particles by stochastic differential equations, we discuss different velocity-dependent friction functions, the impact of various types of fluctuations and calculate characteristic observ-ables such as stationary velocity distributions or diffusion coefficients. Finally, we consider not only the free and confined individual active dynamics but also different types of interaction between active par-ticles. The resulting collective dynamical behavior of large assemblies and aggregates of active units is discussed and an overview over some recent results on spatiotemporal pattern formation in such systems is given. 1

All compact Riemann surfaces (vis-à-vis complex projective curves) of genus g ≥ 2 share the same universal topological covering space, and hence admit a uniformization by a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,R). This description leads to a fruitful dualism in the theory of complex curves, visible in both its theorems and
