Partner Capabilities and Alliance Time Frame: An Analysis of International Strategic Alliances from the CEE by S. Hossein Jalali

“…However, the majority of research has typically focused on generic partner characteristcs and presented conceptual models for alliance partner selecton, addressing clan image but only limited pieces of the partner selecton puzzle. Rooted in the resource-based view, this paper suggests that partner selecton is contngent upon the intended tme frame of strategic alliances and presents a new and intensive conceptual framework that examines the appropriate partner capability for strategic alliances, in the case of short/medium-term alliances and long-term ones. …”

Acquiescentia and Power in Spinoza’s Ethics by Noa Naaman-Zauderer

“…I will argue that to resolve the puzzle, we must recognize a distinction, within the actual (durational) existence of any singular thing, between two senses of the term “power of acting,” or “perfection,” in accordance with the distinction between essence and existence of finite modes. …”

“From place to place and sea to sea”: The Art of Relating in R. L. Stevenson’s The Wrecker by Julie GAY

“…At a narratological level, it moreover involves building a network of relations between the two narrators’ tales, and thus leaving clues for the reader to put together in the manner of a puzzle or a game of “dominoes” (406). The characters’ archipelagic circulation around the globe is therefore echoed by the narrator’s generic and narrative wanderings but also by the reader’s, whose role in the “relation” of the tale is crucial as it requires him to connect all of these heterogeneous elements together, and map them out into a coherent picture.…”

Tethys and Apulia (Adria), 100 years of reconstructions by Jolivet, Laurent

“…The most recent evolutions of these reconstructions show unprecedented images of the evolving geology, including tectonics and paleoenvironments, through time of this complex puzzle. Central to Tethyan tectonics, Apulia, or Adria, has been drawn with different geometries and dimensions from the first concepts by Emile Argand, Kenneth Hsü or John Dewey, to the recent reconstructions by Douwe van Hinsbergen or Paul Angrand. …”

Research on reconfigurable service carrying network active protection algorithms by Ning QI, Bin-qiang WANG, Zhi-ming WANG

“…To construct reconfigurable service carrying network (RSCN) in reconfigurable flexible network (RFNet) infrastructure could provide traffic specific communication services for different end users.This could effectively solve the puzzle faced by traditional Internet infrastructure.Because of the blight of network failure,active protection problems of RSCN were discussed.Mathematics model of RSCN active protection issues were established.To avoid enormous influence because of important resource failure,a resource stress factor (RSF) awareness main link construction algorithm named RSF-aware MLCA was proposed.To improve success running ratio and reduce network link failure loss of RSCN,a RSCN protection link construction algorithm named RPLCA was implemented.Considering of the two sub-algorithms,RSCN active protection algorithm named RAPA was designed.The efficiency of algorithms was evaluated by emulation experiments according to RSCN success running ratio and main link utilization ratio and average network link failure loss under several scenarios.…”

Overlapping qubits from non-isometric maps and de Sitter tensor networks by ChunJun Cao, Wissam Chemissany, Alexander Jahn, Zoltán Zimborás

“…Abstract The emergence of a local effective theory from a more fundamental theory of quantum gravity with seemingly fewer degrees of freedom is a major puzzle of theoretical physics. A recent approach to this problem is to consider general features of the Hilbert space maps relating these theories. …”

Uniting low-energy semileptonic and hadronic anomalies within SMEFT by Alakabha Datta, Jacky Kumar, Suman Kumbhakar, David London

“…In this paper, we illustrate this method by finding all SMEFT operators that, by themselves, provide a combined explanation of the (semileptonic) b ¯ → s ¯ ℓ + ℓ − $$ \overline{b}\to \overline{s}{\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-} $$ anomalies and the (hadronic) B → πK puzzle.…”
