A model for pseudo-Dirac neutrinos: leptogenesis and ultra-high energy neutrinos
Full text linkWe propose a model where sterile neutrinos are introduced to make light neutrinos to be pseudo-Dirac particles. It is shown how tiny mass splitting necessary for realizing pseudo-Dirac neutrinos can be achieved. Within the model, we show how leptogenesis can be successfully generated. Motivated by the recent observation of very high energy neutrino events at IceCube, we study a possibility to observe the effects of the pseudo-Dirac property of neutrinos by performing astronomical-scale baseline experiments to uncover the oscillation effects of very tiny mass splitting. We also discuss future prospect to observe the effects of the pseudo-Dirac property of neutrinos at high energy neutrino experiments. © 2016, The Author(s)3611Nsciescopu
Unravelling Interdependence: Coordinating Public-Private Service Networks
No full textGovernments aim to improve service delivery towards citizens and businesses. One of the main trends in this area is that organisations are increasingly trying to integrate service delivery by using information and communication technology (ICT). Service integration is necessary as individual service offerings are often just a part of a bigger process. This overall process does not stop at the boundaries of individual organisations, or at the boundary between the public and the private sector. Therefore, in order to improve service delivery, the service providers have to collaborate and integrate their services across organisational boundaries. The challenges that these collaborations face are varied, including heterogeneous organisations, a variety of processes, and fragmented information systems. How can we deal with these challenges to realise integrated service delivery? It is this question that is the background of this dissertation. It is addressed by exploring the interdependence in integrated service delivery, provided by networks of public and private organisations. Ultimately, the dissertation improves the understanding of the coordination of such public-private service networks.Infrastructure Systems & ServicesTechnology, Policy and Managemen

IT-induced public sector transformation
No full textIT-induced public sector transformation investigates the organizational changes that are undertaken to transform public administrations using information technology (IT). While IT made governments more efficient, it is unclear whether it will also make them more effective in creating public value for citizens and businesses. This study investigates the outcomes of IT-induced transformation and the factors that influence these outcomes. It finds that transformed organizations do not emerge on the short term; IT-induced transformation often remains a promise of IT projects rather than an outcome. Instead of realizing organizational change, governments focus on setting up governance. While many of the public sector IT-projects traditionally aim to improve service delivery to citizens and businesses, in practice, they more often create better enforcement and control for government organizations.ICTTechnology, Policy and Managemen
