THE smallest spherical cell capable of an independent existence is believed to be, in theory, 100 nm. Bodies of this size have been found by electron microscopy in cultures of mycoplasmas but they are probably inviable1,3,4. The existence of living mycoplasmas as small as 125 nm is indicated by their ability to pass through filters of known porosity5–8,

Size, complexity, and organization
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2015Bayesian networks and influence diagrams are powerful methods for modeling complex relationships between variables, but the usefulness of these networks is dependent on the way that an analyst arranges the model’s structure. Model misspecification is perhaps most likely to occur when the model starts to become large or the relationships complex.

International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 1997
Notes a broad agreement that small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) fulfil a critical role in modern economies, and therefore their ability to survive, remain competitive and produce high quality outputs is of utmost importance at both micro and macro levels. Focuses on total quality management (TQM), a new management paradigm, which is successfully

Ecological determinism increases with organism size
Ecology, 2012After much debate, there is an emerging consensus that the composition of many ecological communities is determined both by species traits, as proposed by niche theory, as well as by chance events. A critical question for ecology is, therefore, which attributes of species predict the dominance of deterministic or stochastic processes.

Size Dependence of the Structure of Organic Aerosol
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013The effects of aerosol particles on heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry and climate are determined in part by the internal arrangement of compounds within the particles. We have used cryo-transmission electron microscopy to investigate the phase separation behavior of model organic aerosol composed of ammonium sulfate internally mixed with succinic or ...

Economic Size of Organizations
California Management Review, 1968A popular conception is that large organizations are inherently inefficient. In this article the conclusion is reached that size need not necessarily cause managerial inefficiencies, even in the largest concerns.

Fiber Size and Organization of Afferent Pathways
Archives of Neurology, 1961Concepts of the organization and functional characteristics of afferent pathways in the central nervous system have been derived from anatomical studies of large fiber myelin sheath degeneration by the Marchi method; observation of centrally recorded, electronically amplified potentials resulting from peripheral nerve stimulation; and clinical ...

Sizing the Selling Organization
2004Every sales force has a size, defined by the number of salespeople. That size changes over time as the company evolves its products and adapts to different market conditions. Companies use many different rules and approaches to determine the size of their sales force. Some of these rules and approaches often lead to poor decisions.

The Impact of Organization Size on Employee Motivation
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1975Behavioral factors in the economies of providing communications services are known to be very important, but they are essentially unquantified. What is known about some of the factors and relationships among them that do affect the economies of scale, particularly in the area of employee motivation, is reviewed.
