Competitive formation of glasses and glass–matrix composites

Intermetallics, 2007
Abstract By systematically investigating the effect of chemical composition on the competitive formation of glasses in various systems, we attempt to address two long-standing scientific puzzles upon metallic glasses, i.e., (i) which composition is the best for forming glasses and glass–matrix composites and (ii) what determines the easy glass ...

Some Notes on Estimating the Competition Matrix, a

Ecology, 1975
Recent theoretical and field work on communities of interacting species has employed various forms for estimating the competition matrix elements, αij, from utilization coefficients pia (which measure the relative utilization of the path resource category by the ith species). Some little—known properties of these forms are discussed. When more than one

Competitive analysis using matrix displays

Long Range Planning, 1984
Abstract The objective of this paper is to explore how selected matrix displays can aid strategic management. Three types of matrix— the Directional Policy, the Hofer and the Patel and Younger— are considered and the particular contribution that each can make is examined.

The Community Matrix and Interdependence of the Competition Coefficients

The American Naturalist, 1974
In response to recent elaborations of the community matrix concept, I argue that nonlinear (higher-order) interactions between species are probably very important in many competitive relationships. Several competition coefficients calculated from populations of microcrustaceans in equilibrium microcosm communities change significantly with changes ...

Size-competitive strength matrix for classifying organisations

International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, 2009
According to organisational ecology theory, the competition between organisations is a key process that can help to explain the vital rates of organisational populations. In turn, it is possible to observe the intensity of the competition through the size differences between the members of a population.

'Competitive innovation matrix': a framework for open innovation

EuroMed J. of Management, 2016
The concept of open innovation encompasses a wide range of external actors that an organisation might need to share and acquire knowledge with. While there is much hype about open innovation, as of yet there is no framework to decide how open innovation might be useful. In our research we cite four theories linked with open innovation.

Prion Protein Adsorption to Soil in a Competitive Matrix Is Slow and Reduced

Environmental Science & Technology, 2009
It is likely that the soil environment serves as a stable reservoir of infectious CWD and scrapie prions as well as a potential reservoir of BSE. Prion adsorption to soil could play an important role in prion mobility, proteolysis, and infectivity. We modified previously published methods to quantify adsorbed prions via direct detection and studied ...

Assessing National Competitive Superiority: An Importance‐Performance Matrix Approach

Marketing Intelligence & Planning, 1991
Extends the application of a well‐established strategic marketing planning technique (the Importance‐Performance Matrix Approach) to the assessment of a country′s strengths and weaknesses in attracting foreign investments. Following a description of the approach and its rationale, the Importance‐Performance framework is applied in analysing Singapore′s

Company Competitiveness and the Portfolio Matrix (Step 12)

1998
It can now be very tempting to simply focus on those segments obtaining the highest attractiveness ratings (despite the cautionary comments towards the end of Chapter 9), which could also be the chosen strategy of your competitors. This, however, fails to acknowledge that your company’s ability to be successful in each segment will differ according to ...

Competitive inhibition of the matrix polymerization of 4-Vinylpyridine on polyacids

Polymer Science U.S.S.R., 1970
THE matrix polymerization is a process in which other macromolecules are produced on those existing in a reaction system and are structurally and chemically compatible with the initial ones. A series of reports has recently appeared on this subject, namely the matrix polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine (VP) in the, presence of organic polyacids [ 1-5 ...
