The Organization of Information

This paper analyzes an area that economic analysis of intellectual property has generally ignored, namely, the effects of intellectual property rights on the relative desirability of various strategies for organizing information production. I…

While it is generally acknowledged that modern science began with the quantification of time in the measurement of linear physical processes in space by Galileo and Newton, the biological sciences have only recently developed appropriate…

Even though the concept of information literacy typically embraces an idea of a complete participation in an information community, its definitions have tended to underline the phases of seeking, searching and evaluation instead of creating…

This paper argues that transformation, which is a fundamental reshaping of an organization's behaviour, is an effective response to an uncertain and changing business environment. A critical element in developing a transformed organization is a…

One might take the exploration of sensory cortex in the first decades of the last century as the opening chapter of modern neuroscience. The combined approaches of (i) measuring effects of restricted ablation on functional capacities, both in the…

A nontraditional approach to construction of metabolic charts is proposed. It is based on the discovery of symmetry in the structure of the network of metabolic reactions. So if compounds and reactions are located on the metabolic chart according to…

To answer the questions of how information about the physical world is sensed, in what form is information remembered, and how does information retained in memory influence recognition and behavior, a theory is developed for a hypothetical nervous…

Like many other countries that had already experienced before, the Chinese construction industry recently faced a challenge to develop an effective and efficient organizing system for its large number of information standards. Such an organizing…
