Key Information Systems Management Issues In Developing Countries: Differences In The Indiana And Us Contexts, Alok R. Chaturvedi, Hemant K. Jain, Derek L. Nazareth Jan 1994

Key Information Systems Management Issues In Developing Countries: Differences In The Indiana And Us Contexts, Alok R. Chaturvedi, Hemant K. Jain, Derek L. Nazareth

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper uses the Minnesota insturment to do a comparative study of the key information systems issued in the Indian and US contexts. The results indicate that seventeen of the top 25 and six of the top ten issues coincide. The top ten issues to conincide are: Data Resource, Strategic Planning, Aligning IS Orgnaization, Competitive Advantage, Quality of Software Development, and Telecommunications Systems. The issues making the top ten list in the US context but not so in the Indian context are: Information Architecture, IS Human Resources, and Organizational Learning. Technology Infrasturcture did not appear on the questionnaire administered in …


Patent Races, Product Standards, And International Competition, Richard Jensen, Marie Thursby Jan 1994

Patent Races, Product Standards, And International Competition, Richard Jensen, Marie Thursby

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

We examine anticipatory product standards intended to improve the strategic position of firms in an international patent race where firms do R & D to develop products that are close substitutes. The effects of a standard are shown to depend on the way the standard is specified, which firm develops which product, and on the order in which products are discovered. Simple standards are, in general, time inconsistent because of consumer losses that occur when products ruled out by the standard are discovered before the product set as the standard. A state-contingent standard is shown to be time consistent when …


Panglobal Distribution Of A Single Clonal Lineage Of The Irish Potato Famine Fungus, Stephen B. Goodwin, Barak A. Cohen, William E. Fry Jan 1994

Panglobal Distribution Of A Single Clonal Lineage Of The Irish Potato Famine Fungus, Stephen B. Goodwin, Barak A. Cohen, William E. Fry

Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Faculty Publications

More than 300 isolates of the Irish potato famine fungus, Phytopkthora iufesns, colc In 20 countries on five ontits, were analyzed for genetic variation at the mating type and two allozyme loci. A subset of more than 200 islates was also analyzed for DNA "fingerpint" variation. A surprisng result was that a single conal ineage dominated most populaton worldwide. AD of the variation within this loneage appeared to have arisen by mitotic embinat or by mutation. In addItion to the most common cal lineage, a number of diferent, but a rtiy closely related, lineages occurred in the United States and …

Signal Subspace Techniques For Source Localization With Circular Sensor Arrays, Cherian P. Mathews, Michael D. Zoltowski Jan 1994

Signal Subspace Techniques For Source Localization With Circular Sensor Arrays, Cherian P. Mathews, Michael D. Zoltowski

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Estimating the directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of propagating plane waves is a problem of interest in a variety of applications including radar, mobile communications, sonar, and seismology. The widely studied uniform linear array (ULA) can only provide estimates of source bearings relative to the array axis. A planar. array is required if estimates of source azimuth and elevation are required (2D angle estimation). Uniform circular arrays (UCAs) have several properties that make them attractive for 2D angle estimation; e.g., directional patterns synthesized with UCAs can be electronically rotated in the plane of the array without significant change of beam shape. Two signal …


Storing Logical Form In A Shared-Packed. Forest, Mary P. Harper Jan 1994

Storing Logical Form In A Shared-Packed. Forest, Mary P. Harper

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

To compactly represent sentences containing syntactic ambiguity until the necessary information has been processed to refine the meaning, we have modified an all-path context-free grammar parser to generate a shared-packed parse forest annotated with logical form. An annotated shared-packed forest cannot contain every representation of a highly ambiguous sentence without using an intractable amount of space. Hence, our program stores procedure calls for creating all possible logical forms for a c.onstituent in the forest. The resulting forest contains the same number of nodes and is not much bigger than the original forest. Furthermore, the stored procedural information can be used …
