Entrepreneurial resourcefulness: theoretical origins, integrative review, and research agenda by Williams, TA, Li, JM, Zhao, EY

“…As such, recent years have seen a proliferation of a diverse body of scholarship on entrepreneurial resourcefulness. …”

Introduction - issue 78

“…The Obama initiatives are significant considering the increasing public concerns with climate change and the need for the USA to play a leading role in international negotiations on this critical issue; until recently it was seen as an obstacle rather than a force for good in the international climate change field. …”

Working for two bosses: Student interns as constrained labour in China by Smith, C, Chan, J

“…We argue that student workers need to be seen as a distinct category of constrained labour; part of a growing insecure workforce in China. …”

Mapping inequalities in London by Hennig, BD, Dorling, D

“…These patterns are not mapped in a conventional way but use a gridded cartogram which gives everyone equal space. What can be seen in these maps and statistics is the fragmented nature of London, which is not only a 'tale of two cities ', but a patchwork of divisions that permeate many parts of the city. …”

Image-based rendering using image-based priors by Fitzgibbon, A, Wexler, Y, Zisserman, A

“…Given a set of images acquired from known viewpoints, we describe a method for synthesizing the image which would be seen from a new viewpoint. In contrast to existing techniques, which explicity reconstruct the 3D geometry of the scene, we transform the problem to the reconstruction of colour rather than depth. …”

VoxCap: FFT-accelerated and Tucker-enhanced capacitance extraction simulator for voxelized structures by Wang, Mingyu, Qian, Cheng, White, Jacob K., Yucel, Abdulkadir C.

“…By doing so, it reduces the memory requirement of these tensors from hundreds of gigabytes to a few megabytes and the CPU time required to obtain Toeplitz tensors from tens of minutes (even hours) to a few seconds for very large scale problems. …”

Objects of Collaboration: Roles and Sequences of Objects in Spanning Knowledge Group Boundaries in Design by Brubaker, Eric R, Sheppard, Sheri D, Hinds, Pamela J, Yang, Maria C

“…We illustrate two prominent outcomes—the co-discovery of a design risk, opportunity, or bottleneck and the co-design of a joint integrated solution—and describe two object role sequences from which these outcomes seem to follow. These findings are significant because they suggest ways for designers to effectively use objects to span knowledge group boundaries.…”

On time-domain NRBC for Maxwell's equations and its application in accurate simulation of electromagnetic invisibility cloaks by Wang, Bo, Yang, Zhiguo, Wang, Li-lian, Jiang, Shidong

“…Different from the existing models, it contains only one unknown field and the seemingly complicated convolutions can be computed as efficiently as the temporal convolutions in the NRBC. …”

Fatigue in multilayered steels by Kumar, Punit, Msolli, Sabeur, Jhon, Mark H., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…While the quasistatic tensile stress-strain responses of both the sheets are nearly-identical, fatigue strength of sheets with austenitic outer layers is substantially higher than those with martensitic layers, due mainly to the nature of residual stress distribution in the two sheets. …”

The Nightingale / by Hannah, Kristin, author 369246, Macmillan Books (Online service) 655983

“…With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”
