Research Contribution

This study heeds the research calls by attempting to answer the following important research questions (1) What are the key dimensions of supply chain 

To the author best knowledge, the study represents one of the first large-scale empirical efforts to provide preliminary insights into the antecedents to, and the consequences of, supply chain collaboration. This study has made contributions to our understanding of lOS enabled supply chain collaboration, one of the most complex and challenging aspects of supply chain management, in a number of ways. 

Second, lOS appropriation has been defined in the study using dimensions appropriate for distinguishing between lOS use for integration, lOS use for communication, and lOS use for intelligence. This definition has emphasized the different purposes of lOS use. The three dimensions have their own focuses and 

Fourth, this research has provided a theoretical framework that identifies characteristics, antecedents, and consequences of lOS enabled supply chain collaboration. The conceptual model was built based on the review of a wide range of literature, incorporating appropriate features of interorganizational models from different perspectives (i.e., transaction cost economics, resource-based view, resource dependence theory, social exchange theory, trust-based rationalism, and knowledge perspective). By blending multiple theoretical perspectives, a full-round picture of supply chain collaboration has been painted. The framework has provided a foundation for future research. The framework can be used to study both collaboration formation and ongoing collaboration evaluation and maintenance to further enrich the collaboration theory.

During his brilliant scientific career, Peter Debye has added richly to our knowledge of the structure of physical chemistry. His research contributions have won for him awards and honorary degrees from many countries and he has earned unbounded respect wherever men seek a deeper understanding of nature. 

Luminescence yields data that often cannot be provided by any other methodology. This book is a compilation of a wide variety of original research contributions. Substantial information is given on the use of luminescence techniques to understand specific cell responses and the chemical mechanisms of cell action. An examination of natural environments is presented in the form of specific studies that characterize materials in both solid and liquid form and give information on the respective reactions of these materials in soil and water systems. Advanced research on standardization and standards developed for luminescence studies, as well as both active and passive use of luminescence, is included. 

The author is indebted to Dr. J. J. Alexander, Dr. J. P. Bibler, Dr. P. Reich-Rohrwig, and Dr. S. R. Su, his former graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, for their stimulating association with him and for their research contributions in this area of organo-metallic chemistry. Support of the research concerned with insertion reactions in the author s laboratories has been generously provided by the National Science Foundation. 

In this second edition I have updated much of the material contained in the first one, and introduced, throughout the text, modifications to include the latest research contributions in the field. As a consequence of advances in knowledge and interpretation, however, the archaeological chemistry literature is ever burgeoning this compelled me to be particularly selective of the topics and the bibliographic material to be included in the book.

Although memories of Bob Tipson will inevitably center on his insistence on perfection in the preparation of scientific manuscripts, the fundamental research contributions he made early in his long career to our knowledge of the structure of carbohydrates and especially of the nucleic acids merit equal recognition. His brusque and sometimes irascible outward manner concealed a kindly and concerned individual, a true gentleman and scholar. 

He has earned a lasting place in the history of polymer science through his research contributions, the successes of his students, his organizational genius, and his tireless promotion of the science and its students. It is entirely accurate to say that Herman Mark found polymers a curiosity and made them a science. 

This book is dedicated to the memory of Jon Lebo. Jon was integrally involved in many aspects of the development and especially in the field deployment of SPMD technology. His untimely death cut short a very productive research career. Jon was a good friend and an excellent colleague, and we will all miss his insight and research contributions.

It is commercially advantageous to operate cells with no diaphragm since the cell diaphiagm is the weakest point in the system. Achievement of this aim rests upon finding an anode reaction that destroys neither the substrate nor the product. Russian workers [63] showed that up to 90 % yields of adiponitrile can be obtained at a graphite cathode in an undivided cell with an iron oxide anode, provided that phosphate and tetraalkylammomum ions are present. Further research contributions from Monsanto, BASF and Japanese companies led to the present system for hydrodimerization of acrylonitrile using an undivided cell [64,65]. 

I think that Soviet researchers contribute much to the development of this science, which is very important for understanding the nature of vegetation development and species evolution and especially for increasing production of consecutive crops. 

Richardson also devised many novel reagents and chromogenic substances that are now used in various diagnostic kits of value for the rapid and accurate visual detection of human disease, as well as for the identification of pathogenic organisms associated with disease. For chemical posterity, it is therefore considered important to present a detailed account of Richardson s numerous research contributions. 

Cockburn and Henderson (1998) examine the importance ofpublic funding for the development of the most important new drugs. Although they find that more than three-fourths ofthe leading21 drugs introduced between 1965 and 1992 had at least some input from the public sector, this does not mean that public-sector research was sufficient for their development. Of these products, most relied on enabling discoveries from the public sector. However, for only 2 of the 21 did public-sector research contribute to... 

The goal in Volume 4 of Advances in Supramolecular Chemistry remains the same as for previous volumes to present a broad range of supramolecular science recorded by an international panel of distinguished researchers. Contributions in this volume span the scientific range from electronic device development to novel synthetic receptor molecules to biomimetic ion channels. 

Theoretical chemical physics has lost a leader whose research contributions have been at the forefront of the field for decades. 

Dr. Tishler published more than 100 scientific papers and is cited as an inventor on more than 100 United States patents. A partial list of research contributions include development of processes for the commercial production of vitamin B6, vitamin K, vitamin E, penicillin, streptomycin, and cortisone. 

Alfred Schmidpeter took his PhD at Munich University in 1960 with Egon Wiberg. His research contributions since then have been in different fields of organophosphorus and organoarsenic chemistry, such as phosphazenes, aminophosphine tautomers, oligocyclic phosphoranes, azaphospholes, two-coordinate phosphorus and arsenic in conjugated cyclic and acyclic systems. He was Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Munich since 1975 and retired in 1997. 

The analysis of ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems with small parameters e (with 0 < generally referred to as perturbation analysis or perturbation theory. Perturbation theory has been the subject of many fundamental research contributions (Fenichel 1979, Ladde and Siljak 1983), finding applications in many areas, including linear and nonlinear control systems, fluid mechanics, and reaction engineering (see, e.g., Kokotovic et al. 1986, Kevorkian and Cole 1996, Verhulst 2005). The main concepts of perturbation theory are presented below, following closely the developments in (Kokotovic et al. 1986).
