Leveraging diverse knowledge sources through proactive behaviour: How companies can use inter‐organizational networks for business model innovation

The relevance of business model innovation (BMI) for strategic renewal and competitive advantage has been increasingly recognized by both strategy scholars and managers. In this paper, we explore how inter‐organizational networks and firms' proactiveness influence BMI. By examining Dutch design companies, we show that having a network of companies with different sizes has a positive effect on BMI. We also observe a positive effect of ties change. Finally, we show the importance of firms' proactiveness. Through the discussion of network elements and proactiveness as antecedents of BMI, we contribute to the business model and social network literature.     

Proposed network structures and combined adaptive algorithms for electrocardiogram signal denoising

An electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a record of the electrical activities of heart muscle and is used clinically to diagnose heart diseases. An ECG signal should be presented as clear as possible to support accurate decisions made by doctors. This article proposes different combinations of combined adaptive algorithms to derive different noise-cancelling structures to remove (denoise) different kinds of noise from ECG signals. The algorithms are applied to the following types of noise: power line interference, baseline wander, electrode motion artifact, and muscle artifacts. Moreover, the results of the suggested models and algorithms are compared with those of conventional denoising tools such as the discrete wavelet transform, an adaptive filter, and a multilayer neural network (NN) to ensure the superiority of the proposed combined structures and algorithms. Furthermore, the hybrid concept is based on dual, triple, and quadruple combinations of well-known algorithms that derive adaptive filters, such as the least mean squares, normalized least mean squares and recursive least squares algorithms. The combinations are formulated based on partial update, variable step-size (VSS), and second iterative VSS algorithms, which are considered in different combinations. In addition, biased NN and unbiased linear neural network (ULNN) structures are considered. The performance of the different structures and related algorithms are evaluated by measuring the post-signal-to-noise ratio, mean square error, and percentage root mean square difference.     

焊接热输入对2219薄板铝合金焊接接头性能的影响

针对2219薄板铝合金,采用不同焊接热输入的TIG焊开展了对比试验,分析了焊接接头的力学性能、组织形貌和断裂特征。研究结果表明,单道焊比双道焊的接头抗拉强度的平均值提高了19.6%,断后伸长率基本相同;双道焊的接头在熔合线附近,焊缝区形成柱状枝晶,组织大小不一、形状不规则,热影响区晶粒粗化,几何形态变化,组织形态不均匀,接头在焊接温度升高时,晶粒粗化,强度降低,断口呈现了沿晶界撕裂扩展的痕迹,局部呈“河流花样”特征;单道焊的接头在熔合线附近,焊缝区等轴晶分布较多,组织均匀一致,晶粒细小,接头在经历了加热、快速冷却、常温放置后,强化相溶于固溶体,Cu原子扩散、聚集,产生点阵畸变,晶粒得到细化,强度升高,断口呈现了典型的塑形断裂痕迹,韧窝形态明显。

Harnessing adaptive capacity to close the pandora’s box of open innovation

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on how companies deploy structural properties of adaptive capacity (multiplexity, redundancy and loose coupling) to cope with the phenomenon of internal challenges of Open Innovation (OI) implementation, i.e. organisational and cultural changes. We developed a single case study, which offered significant findings. First, the multiplexity of relationships in OI settings helps to face the challenges of organisational and cultural changes by triggering trust formation and interaction. Second, redundancy has twofold elements: institutional logics redundancy triggers cultural change challenges which can be overcome through management practices and communications; task redundancy facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration, thus helping to deal with organisational change challenges. Finally, loose coupling in OI settings facilitates social interconnectedness among members through management practices, helping to face organisational and cultural change challenges. We provide managerial and theoretical implication to deal with the challenges of OI in relation to both organisational and cultural changes.

一种增广拉格朗日优化方案及其非连续变形分析实现

接触力计算精度是关乎非连续变形分析结果有效性的关键因素之一。经典非连续变形分析法(DDA)采用罚法施加块体间的接触约束,实现简单,但合理的罚值选取困难。因此,提出了一种增广拉格朗日优化算法,改进DDA中接触约束的处理。通过结合开闭迭代算法和自适应罚值更新方案等,提出并实现了多面体DDA增广拉格朗日算法及其优化方案。最后,设计了2个经典数值算例,计算结果表明:改进后的三维DDA提高了计算精度且保证了计算效率,可用于复杂多面体块体系统的非连续力学行为分析,如大型节理岩体工程稳定性分析。

Methods to calculate the response time of heat and smoke detectors installed below large unobstructed ceilings

Recently developed methods to calculate the time required for ceiling mounted heat and smoke detectors to respond to growing fires are reviewed. A computer program that calculates activation times for both fixed temperature and rate of rise heat detectors in response to fires that increase in heat release rate proportionally with the square of time from ignition is given. This program produces nearly equivalent results to the tables published in Appendix C, Guide for Automatic Fire Detector Spacing (NFPA 72E, 1984). A separate method and corresponding program are provided to calculate response time for fires having arbitrary heat release rate histories. This method is based on quasi-steady ceiling layer gas flow assumptions. Assuming a constant proportionality between smoke and heat released from burning materials, a method is described to calculate smoke detector response time, modeling the smoke detector as a low temperature heat detector in either of the two response time models.Nomenclature A g/(c _p T ) - c _p specific heat capacity of ambient air - C _s smoke mass concentration - D effective binary diffusion coefficient - g acceleration of gravity - H vertical distance from fuel to ceiling - I light intensity - I_o initial light intensity - L light beam length - _s smoke gas mass production rate per unit volume - OD optical density per unit length (see Equation 8) - fire energy release rate - energy release rate per unit volume - r radial distance from fire axis to the detector - RTI response time index, the product of the detector thermal time constant and the square root of the gas speed used in the test to measure the time constant.⁹ - t time - t ₂ ^* dimensionless time t/[A^{–1/5 –1/5} H^4/5) - (t ₂ ^* ) _f dimensionless time for time delay for gas front travel - T ambient temperature - T gas temperature at detector location - T _s temperature of detector sensing elements - T T — T - T ₂ ^* dimensionless temperature differences T/[A^2/5(T _f /g) ^2/5 H^–3/5] - U gas speed at the detector location - U ₂ ^* dimensionless gas speed U/[A H]^1/5 - Y _s local ratio of smoke mass to total mass in flow - proportionality constant for t²-fire growth = Q/t² - ambient air density Reference: David D.
