For Whom the Bell (Curve) Tolls: A to F, Trade Your Grade Based on the Net Present Value of Friendships with Financial Incentives [PDF]

June 2019, The Journal of Private Equity, 22(3), 64-81, 2019
We discuss a possible solution to an unintended consequence of having grades, certificates, rankings and other diversions in the act of transferring knowledge; and zoom in specifically to the topic of having grades, on a curve. We conduct a thought experiment, taking a chapter (and some more?) from the financial markets, (where we trade pollution and ...

How do both firm‐level resources and country‐level competitiveness shape the relationship between alliance portfolio diversity and radical innovation? A comparison between the food and other manufacturing industries

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how European food companies can operationally leverage the value created by strategic alliances into commercially viable products. More importantly, it emphasizes that the effects of alliance portfolio diversity (APD) on radical innovation performance can be achieved not only directly, but also via moderating roles, that is,

Tiling Robotics: A New Paradigm of Shape‐Morphing Reconfigurable Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Tiling robotics is a novel paradigm of shape‐morphing reconfigurable robots, defining them as polyform‐inspired machines capable of transforming between at least two polymorphic shapes. Various reconfiguration‐enabling and locomotion mechanisms of tiling robots are comparatively analyzed, with the electromechanical developments, along with a proposed ...

Motion Capture and Augmented‐Reality‐Assisted Surface Reconstruction and Robotic Remanufacturing System

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An virtual reality augmented‐reality‐ and motion‐capture‐assisted surface remanufacturing system is presented. Operators can interactively reconstruct the virtual model using the designed motion‐captured pointer directly on the physical workpiece surface. Operators can intuitively and interactively manipulate the system to accomplish tasks ranging from

Untethered Autonomous Holonomic Mobile Micromanipulator for Operations in Isolated Confined Spaces

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a lightweight (515 g), compact (10 cm3), untethered holonomic mobile micromanipulator powered by piezoelectric actuators is presented. It autonomously manipulates mm to sub‐mm objects and droplets in narrow, hazardous spaces, achieving 0.18 ± 0.51 mm positioning accuracy and −0.4° ± 1.2° angular deviation.

“Someday, I'll be an ancestor:” Understanding indigenous intergenerational connectedness through qualitative research to inform measure development

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intergenerational connectedness broadly encompasses relations among humans, lands, and all living and spiritual beings, and functions as an important part of Indigenous well‐being. Many public health campaigns and interventions aim to promote connectedness to support holistic wellness and reduce health inequities. Currently, however, there are
