Forward integration, a form of vertical integration, is when a strategic acquirer moves downstream, which means that the company becomes closer to interacting directly with its end customers. Forward integration represents strategic acquisitions completed in order to gain more control over the later stag...
9. We have added a particular scale, ‘Inf,’ to the horizontal coordinate of the graph, meaning that the SNR is infinite, which is the case without added noise. We said the points without noise to do a better comparison. With the nine graphs in Fig. 9, it is easy to see that ...
Activating the meaning of a word facilitates the integration of orthography: evidence from spelling exercises in beginning spellers. J Res Read. 34, 333–345 (2011). Acknowledgments We are grateful to Gemma Fitzsimmons for comments on a previous version of this article. We thank Franziska A. ...
“The concept of ‘technology' is used rather loosely here. In addition to the meaning of ‘machines and sophisticated devices', technology also generically means the study of techniques or tasks” (Perrow, 1979: 162). 2 The use of “information and communication technology” (ICT) is a deli...
where RT stands for “Regular Times,” meaning that the inputs arrive at regular time intervals. For a smooth function \(\varDelta _{\mathrm{inh}}\) and relatively small values of the feedforward delay d we will have $$ E\bigl(\varDelta _{\mathrm{inh}}(b+D)\bigl\vert \phi,...

Compared to Sea Wolf, CAMM is faster, has longer range, has a two-way data link, and has a much more advanced seeker, all of which enable the missile to intercept more challenging targets. Traditional air defence systems utilise semi-active radar guidance, meaning they rely on a surface-ba...
The conclusion we can draw from Table3, top part: The production from 1970 to 2020 grew between 1.2 for tin and up to 3.4 for copper. Despite this growth in production, the R/P-ratios more or less stayed constant or grew, meaning the exploration activities of mining and exploration compan...
in the event of a motor failure, other propellers, as required, may be turned at a higher RPM by their respective motors ensuring the aircraft may still be flyable. The increase of RPM may put out more thrust per remaining propeller (meaning also more noise), but the aircraft may remain ...
