Elementary remarks about Pisano periods [PDF]
In this short note, we reprove in a very elementary way some known facts about Pisano periods as well as some considerations about the link between Pisano periods and the order of roots of the characteristic equation. The technics only requires a small background in ring theory (merely the definition of a commutative ring).

Quantization of eletric charge, the neutrino and generation nonuniversality [PDF]
text of abstract It is showed that the eletric charge quantization is unconnected to Majorana neutrino in the non-universal generations leptoquark-bilepton flavordynamics which includes the right-handed neutrino and an explicit U(1) factor in the gauge semisimple group.

GCD of sums of $k$ consecutive Fibonacci, Lucas, and generalized Fibonacci numbers [PDF]
We explore the sums of $k$ consecutive terms in the generalized Fibonacci sequence $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ given by the recurrence $G_n = G_{n-1} + G_{n-2}$ for all $n \geq 2$ with integral initial conditions $G_0$ and $G_1$. In particular, we give precise values for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of all sums of $k$ consecutive terms of $\left(

Understanding the Footprint of the RBV in International Business Studies: the Last Twenty Years of Research [PDF]
International business (IB) research has evolved substantially over the past four decades incorporating new concerns and theoretical contributions. During the past two decades, the Resource-Based View (RBV) has gained the preference of many IB scholars ...

Neutrinos and Electromagnetic Gauge Invariance [PDF]
It is discussed a recently proposed connection among U(1)$_{\rm em}$ electromagnetic gauge invariance and the nature of the neutrino mass terms in the framework of $\mbox {SU(3)}_C\otimes G_W \otimes {\mbox U(1)}_N$, $G_W$ = SU(3)$_L$, extensions of the Standard Model.

A Simple Solution for the Flavor Question [PDF]
We consider a simple way for solving the flavor question by embedding the three-familiy Standard Model in a semisimple gauge group extending minimally the weak isospin factor. Quantum chiral anomalies between families of fermions cancel with a matching of the number of families and the number of color degrees of freedom. Our demonstration shows how the

When organisational effectiveness fails: business continuity management and the paradox of performance [PDF]
Purpose: The aim of the paper is to consider the nature of the business continuity management (BCM) process and to frame it within wider literature on the performance of socio-technical systems.
