Using the optical double resonance and level crossing methods, properties of several excited S , P , and D states in 39 K were studied. The S and D states were populated using stepwise excitation with the first P state as an intermediate level. An rf lamp and a CW dye laser were used in the first and second excitation steps, respectively. The studied P states were populated in the cascade decay of

Drawing on a critical reading of framings which position public relations as a discipline concerned with ‘reputation management’ this study examines the implications of the dynamic tensions between projected organisational reputation and reputation constructed by a network of stakeholders, and builds a framework for the first stringent, academic definition of ‘curation’ that allows a nuanced under

Classical scholars commonly describe the ancient concept of stylistic levels with the presupposition that it merely involves literary style, how a message is expressed in a text. A study of what the rhetorical treatises say about the stylistic levels shows, however, that they affected not only composition, but also delivery and audience reactions. The delivery and reception of a text was strongly

It has recently been established in our group that amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic part can self-assemble in the presence of selective solvents (“water” and “oil”) into a variety of different solution and lyotropic liquid crystalline microstructures. The effects of the “oil” type, hydrophilic block size and hydrophobic block type on the phase behavior and

The dual control law for an integrator with constant but unknown gain is computed. Numerical problems associated with the solution of the Bellman equation are reviewed. Properties of the dual control law are discussed. A representation which makes it easy to compare dual control with certainty equivalence and cautious control is also introduced.

The starting point for this paper is the conclusions reached in the paper presented at the last OTSEM conference. There, I claimed that the methodological foundation for reading the Book of Psalms as a book was somewhat wanting, that synchronic readings, focusing the theology of the entire book, were not always kept distinct from diachronic considerations, and that ultimately, the question of what

This paper has three aims. Firstly, to provide a critical review of previous conceptualizations of the knowledge base approach in the research fields of innovation studies and economic geography. Secondly, to propose a broadened interpretation of the knowledge base approach which allows for considering combinatorial knowledge bases within and across industries, regions and time periods and for ana
