This concluding article calls on the HRD community to take a more active role in shaping sustainabi... Read More about Closing Comments: A Call to Action.

The learning curve: the key to future management? (2010)
Report
Steven, G. (2010). The learning curve: the key to future management?. London: Chartered Institute of Management Accountants

Learning curve models have many practical applications since they predict how long it will take to undertake future tasks. Management accountants must consequently take account of the impact of learning for planning, control and decision-making.... Read More about The learning curve: the key to future management?.

Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development (2010)
Journal Article
Li, C., Pooley, R., & Liu, X. (2010). Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development. International journal of computer science & information technology, 2, 12-29. https://doi.org/10.5121/ijcsit.2010.2502

Despite the success that Component-Based Development (CBD) has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a big obstacle for wider and smoother component reuse. Mismatch refers that the selected component does not satisfy the functional requireme... Read More about Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development.

A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Barker, M., & Munoz, J. (2010, October). A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources. Presented at 40th International Conference: Spatial Audio: Sense the Sound of Space

The gel-type DML transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) excites a panel to radiate sound waves through the gel surround. The panel breaks into different characteristic modes of vibration as frequency increases. At high frequenci...
