Microgravity Studies Of Aggregation In Particulate Clouds, Todd B. Sauke, J. R. Marshall, J. N. Cuzzi
Todd B. Sauke
Aggregation in clouds of submillimeter quartz and volcanic ash particles was studied in microgravity. Particle clouds generated by pulses of air immediately formed electrostatic filamentary aggregates upon cessation of air turbulence. Manual agitation of experiment chambers produced cm-size loose grain clusters which voraciously scavenged free-floating material in their vicinity. A dipole model accounts for these observations. Experimental results have ramifications for the behavior of natural cloud systems and primary accretion of solids in the early solar nebula.

Analogie I Metafory Źródłem Nowych Idei W Praktyce Biznesowej, Anna Ujwary-Gil
Analogie I Metafory Źródłem Nowych Idei W Praktyce Biznesowej, Anna Ujwary-Gil
Anna Ujwary-Gil
Analogie i metafory stanowią ważne, jakkolwiek mało doceniane, źródło poszukiwania idei. Zwykle wykorzystanie metafor i analogii następuje spontanicznie, w trakcie komunikacji międzyludzkiej, podczas której przy użyciu metafor bądź analogii opisujemy zdarzenia, które miały miejsce, odwołując się do podobieństwa lub przenośni. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest myślenie przez analogie oraz metaforyzowanie (myślenie metaforyczne), rozumiane jako zdolności twórczego myślenia, które można wykorzystać w praktyce biznesowej i rozwijać na drodze mniej lub bardziej systematycznego ćwiczenia.

Shaping The Future: Strategic Planning For Small Colleges And Universities., Jamie Comstock, Rand Ziegler
Jayne Marie Comstock
This paper addresses the importance of strategic planning as a precursor to assessing organizational performance and outlines a change model that has been used successfully at a small college with limited resources. Grounded in extant executive planning processes, this new model demystifies the strategic planning process and establishes procedures that address the practical and logistical issues associated with facilitating a planning process and ensuring that the plan becomes a document that espouses realistic goals, inspires and motivates members of the campus community, and actually provides direction for departments as they create their work plans and allocate resources.
