abstract: Network researchers have argued that both relational embeddedness characteristics of relationships and structural embeddedness characteristics of the relational structure influence firm behavior and performance. Using strategic alliance networks in the semiconductor and steel industries, we build on past embeddedness research by examining the interaction of these factors. We argue that the roles relational and structural embeddedness play in firm performance can only be understood with reference to the other. Moreover, we argue that the influence of these factors on firm performance is contingent on industry context. More specifically, our empirical analysis suggests that strong ties in a highly interconnected strategic alliance network negatively impact firm performance. This network configuration is especially suboptimal for firms in the semiconductor industry. Furthermore, strong and weak ties are positively related to firm performance in the steel and semiconductor industries, respectively. Copyright (c) 2000 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.

abstract: This volume on the Diffusion of Power engages in the debate on changing structures of global governance by exploring different ways to redefine concepts and the analysis of power and governance. Whereas governance is usually referred to as an indication of the reduction of the role of sovereign states, where the 'Westphalian model' has become outmoded or even redundant, this chapter takes a different perspective by investigating what these developments mean for our understanding of yet another key (and contested) concept of International Relations (IR) state sovereignty. More specifically, it elaborates how governance works through sovereignty. By this it does not mean the continued importance of states among the plurality of actors within governance structures, but rather how sovereign statehood itself is the outcome of a particular regime of knowledge that projects sovereign states as objects of regulation and government.

abstract: Within the electric power industry, the average company's enterprise system i.e. the overall system of IT related entities is today highly complex. Technically, large organizations posses hundreds or thousands of extensively interconnected and heterogeneous single IT systems performing tasks that varies from enterprise resource planning to real time control and monitoring of industrial processes. Moreover are these systems storing a wide variety of sometimes redundant data, and typically they are deployed on several different platforms. IT does, however, not execute in splendid isolation. Organizationally, the enterprise system embraces business processes and business units using as well as maintaining and acquiring the IT systems. The interplay between the organization and the IT systems are further determined by for instance business goals, ownership and governance structures, strategies, individual system users, documentation, and cost.Lately, Enterprise Architecture (EA) has evolved with the mission to take a holistic approach to managing the above depicted enterprise system. The discipline's presumption is that architectural models are the key to succeed in understanding and administrating enterprise systems. Compared to many other engineering disciplines, EA is quite immature in many respects. This thesis identifies and elaborates on some important aspects that to date have been overlooked to a large extent. Firstly, the lack of explicit purpose for architectural models is identified. The thesis argues that the concerns of a company's Chief Information Officer (CIO) should guide the rationale behind the development of EA models. In particular, distribution of IT related information and knowledge throughout the organization is emphasized as an important concern uncared for. Secondly, the lack of architectural theory is recognized. The thesis provides examples of how theory, or analysis procedures, could be incorporated into the Enterprise Architecture approach and hereby concretely drive the development of the architectural models. Due to the nature of enterprise systems, EA theories inevitable will be of an indicative character. Finally, in relation to the models as such, three aspects are highlighted. Firstly, the cost of collecting information from the organization to populate models is routinely neglected by the EA community. This expense should be evaluated in relation to the utility of analyses that the information can provide in terms of better informed decision making by the CIO. Secondly, models (and meta models) must be kept consistent. And thirdly, the design of models is restricted by the limited mental capabilities of the minds of the model users. CIO concerns must consequently be easy to extract from the Enterprise Architecture models.Key words: Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise System, Chief Information Officer (CIO) Information Technology (IT) Management, Architectural Theory, Electric Power Industry

abstract: Phytolaccaceae species in China are not only ornamental plants but also perennial herbs that are closely related to human health. However, both large scale full length cDNA sequencing and reference gene validation of Phytolaccaceae members are still lacking. Therefore, single molecule real time sequencing technology was employed to generate full length transcriptome in invasive Phytolacca americana and non invasive exotic P. icosandra. Based on the transcriptome data, RT qPCR was employed to evaluate the gene expression stability in the two plant species and another indigenous congener P. acinosa. Total of 19.96 Gb and 19.75 Gb clean reads of P. americana and P. icosandra were generated, including 200,857 and 208,865 full length non chimeric (FLNC) reads, respectively. Transcript clustering analysis of FLNC reads identified 89,082 and 98,448 consensus isoforms, including 86,989 and 96,764 high quality ones. After removing redundant reads, 46,369 and 50,220 transcripts were obtained. Based on structure analysis, total 1675 and 1908 alternative splicing variants, 25,641 and 31,800 simple sequence repeats (SSR) as well as 34,971 and 36,841 complete coding sequences were detected separately. Furthermore, 3574 and 3833 lncRNA were predicted and 41,676 and 45,050 transcripts were annotated respectively. Subsequently, seven reference genes in the two plant species and a native species P. acinosa were selected and evaluated by RT qPCR for gene expression analysis. When tested in different tissues (leaves, stems, roots and flowers) 18S rRNA showed the highest stability in P. americana, whether infested by Spodoptera litura or not. EF2 had the most stable expression in P. icosandra, while EF1 a was the most appropriate one when attacked by S. litura. EF1 a showed the highest stability in P.acinosa, whereas GAPDH was recommended when infested by S. litura. Moreover, EF1 a was the most stable one among the three plant species whenever germinating seeds or flowers only were considered. Full length transcriptome of P. americana and P. icosandra were produced individually. Based on the transcriptome data, the expression stability of seven candidate reference genes under different experimental conditions was evaluated. These results would facilitate further exploration of functional and comparative genomic studies in Phytolaccaceae and provide insights into invasion success of P. americana.

abstract: Generally, a kinematically redundant manipulator has more DOFs than those required in performing a given task, which can exploit the redundancy to achieve second goals with little influence on the end effector (EE) At present, the redundant manipulators have attracted considerable interest and been increasingly applied to modern productions and civilian fields. To solve the inverse kinematics (IK) problem of a robotic manipulator is to obtain a set of actuated joint values to move the manipulator to a desired position and orientation in Cartesian space [1] and is a common basis of dynamic analysis and control system design [2] Due to the residual redundancy, however, the underdetermined Jacobian matrix of a redundant manipulator admits infinite joint positions corresponding to a given posture of EE. Therefore, the problem of kinematic redundancy resolution becomes the basic and prerequisite issue [3] and [4] To this end, multiple control strategies have been obtained to the IK resolution as the redundant manipulator has more degrees of freedom (DOFs) over several decades, such as the pseudo inverse (PI) method, the extended Jacobian matrix (EJM) method, and geometric methods for special structures, apart from the weighted least norm (WLN) and the gradient projection method (GPM) [5] and [6] Note that the WLN method and the GPM method are the most frequently used ones, but both methods are seriously flawed. In WLN, the major limitation is that it can only be used to constrain joint position limits effectively and dampen joint motion to exceed the limit without backing away from it. Meanwhile, the scalar factor in GPM for the performance criterion is often selected empirically, which may incur the poor performance of subtasks. Furthermore, a novel solution [7] and [8] to the kinematic analysis of a single loop reconfigurable 7R (R: revolute joints) mechanism is given based on the algorithm of IK about a general serial 6R manipulator but neglects the advantages of redundancy in the 7R manipulator.

abstract: As an embodiment of collaborative governance model, metropolitan planning organizations in the United States allocate federal, state, and local funds to member municipalities for transportation projects across their regions. To examine how institutional rules and power shape where public investment goes, we examine the extent to which the allocation of local voting power in regional governing policy boards influences the spatial allocation of transportation investments. Our analysis shows that the power structure of regional policy boards is consistently a major factor associated with the observed geographic distribution of investments. Moreover, the results suggest that the degree of power concentration of the dominant city in the region influences whether the remaining cities' power matters. These results suggest that institutional governance rules may be more important than previously recognized.

abstract: This article assesses the impacts of bottom up local governing institutions relative to top down bureaucracies in local service delivery. Community services districts (CSDs) in California, a class of special districts that provides various neighborhood level services, are examined to answer this question. An innovative characteristic of this institutional form is that it is residents who create them through a grass root collective action to achieve a bottom up governance structure, after opting out from a county service system. With changes in residential property values as performance metrics, the quantitative analysis utilizes district formation events and features a hedonic difference in difference regression. The results show that the creation of CSDs produces more significant impacts on property values than county authorities do. Yet, the effects are heterogeneous across the communities when the analysis is further drilled down to each district. The exploratory qualitative case study then uses interview data with district managers and document analysis to unveil what administrative factors explain the success and failure trajectory of bottom up institution management. The case study identifies such factors as critical codeterminants, including managerial and board leadership, clarity of a problem statement, public support, and intergovernmental coordination with county and state agencies.

abstract: Cross shareholding is a new type of strategic means for capital operation and is an important component of corporate governance. With the increasing complexity of business motivation, the structure of a cross shareholding network (CSN) is becoming more intricate, and it exposes various important local patterns with different economic functions. The goal of this paper is to uncover investment mechanisms and economic functions implied in cross shareholding networks (CSNs) by analyzing the local characteristic patterns of company interactions. In this paper, we construct the CSNs of listed companies and extract the directed triadic motifs to reveal the evolutionary characteristics of local investment patterns at the company and industry levels. On the company level, we find that companies tend to form V shaped structures with other companies, but bidirectional shareholding patterns and circular relationships in the triads are scarce. On the industry level, we identify the characteristic linking patterns of some industries with a role analysis of the industries. Furthermore, we detect the evolutionary characteristics of industry interrelationships in three implied patterns. Such a motif evolution analysis may provide valuable information for investors and supervisory departments that make decisions about investment portfolios and policy. Meanwhile, this study is also helpful for exploring the implied information in other empirical networks.

abstract: Using 448.0x106 ps(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis is performed for ps(3686) gkhc1, khc1 ep+p decays. The most dominant two body structure observed is a0(980) p; a0(980) ep+ The a0(980) line shape is modeled using a dispersion relation, and a significant nonzero a0(980) coupling to the e'p channel is measured. We observe khc1 a2(1700)p production for the first time, with a significance larger than 17s. The production of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, JPC=1 is investigated, and upper limits for the branching fractions khc1 p1(1400) p, khc1 p1(1600) p, and khc1 p1(2015) p, with subsequent p1(X) ep+ decay, are determined.
