It is shown that the probability density of the reflection coefficient of a semi-infinite array of random slabs undergoes qualitative changes as the parameters of the slabs are varied. Specifically, it is found that the density function changes from a smooth curve with a single peak to a highly...

The statistics of the reflection and transmission coefficients of a two-state Markov medium is analysed using the rod model of the invariant imbedding approach in linear transport theory. The presence of a noise-induced transition in the reflectivity of a semi-infinite medium, as the mean size...

The solution of the time dependent multivelocity Fokker-Planck equation in plane geometry with an absorbing boundary is formulated in terms of the infinite medium Green's function and the boundary distribution. The boundary distribution is to be determined by solving an integral equation. It is...

The Englert–Schwinger model (ESM) is applied to two problems. One is the calculation of zero-temperature equation of state (EOS) of elements within the spherically symmetric Wigner–Sietz cell approximation. The other is to obtain the equilibrium radius of fullerene molecule using March’s...

This study explores the innovation (NSD) process in hotels. We review the existing NSD models and investigate if they explain the innovation process in hotels both in Canada and the US. Six new services are identified and examined closely. Based on the results we find distinct differences in the...

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of Internet-based technology (IBT) use during a new product development (NPD) project on new product time-to-market. It is hypothesized that (1) IBT use has a positive impact on new product time-to-market (2) this impact is both direct and...

Several researchers address the failure of e-government (EG) in developing countries. Researchers studying the failure of information and communication technology (ICT) and EG systems reveal that the initiative, strategy, and adoption criteria of ICT in developing countries do not follow the...

In this study, we evaluate the impact of R&D intensity on acquiring firms’ abnormal returns by examining 925 Canadian completed deals between 1993 and 2002 that have information on R&D expenditures. While examining the returns to acquiring firm shareholders in the R&D intensive firms we...

Spirituality in the workplace is gaining recognition and value among researchers, academicians, and business professionals. The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of spirituality in the workplace on job satisfaction by measuring four dimensions of spirituality in the workplace:...

This study, we have analyzes the growth and spatial pattern to find out the determinants of wheat productivity in Haryana. The Composite Standard Score (CSS) indicates that Kaithal, Karnal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa districts have secured top positions, while Gurgaon, Rewari and...
