Trust and Trustworthiness
No full textIn this chapter, we discuss when, how, and why trust and trustworthiness arise to support cooperation within and across organizations. To do so, we first define trust and trustworthiness, discuss how they can be quantified, and determine key components of trusting and trustworthy behavior. In addition, we identify building blocks of trust and trustworthiness and offer tangible insights about how to establish trusting and cooperative business/interorganizational relationships, based on both academic research and case studies from across industries
The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Syriac-Arabic Glosses of Isho bar Ali. Volume 2
No full textThese two volumes constitute the second part (nun-taw) of the Syriac-Arabic dictionary of the 10th cent. physician Isho bar Ali (the first half of the dictionary had been published in 1874 by G. Hoffmann). Each Syriac word is defined in Arabic, often with more than one Arabic equivalent; in addition, the author deals not just with individual Syriac words, but in some cases with phrases. Gottheil used 21 manuscripts (from Oxford, London, Paris, Berlin, Leiden, and Rome) for this edition, and he has supplied a thorough critical apparatus; the manuscripts are described in the introduction. While some manuscripts give the Arabic glosses in Syriac characters (i.e. Garshuni), Gottheil has presented them here in Arabic script. These two volumes will be of great interest to Syriac lexicographers and those who study interactions between Syriac and Arabic.Contains an English introduction by Richard J.H. Gotthei

The Effects of Automated Vehicles Deployment on Pavement Rutting Performance
No full textThe advent of automated vehicles (AVs) creates an essential need for upgrading conventional pavement infrastructure. It is possible to use either dedicated lanes for AVs or shared travel lanes with different AVs' penetration rates. One of the most significant differences between AVs and nonAVs is the lateral wandering pattern, which can influence the pavement rutting performance. This paper evaluates the impacts of two potential wander modes of AVs (i.e., zero and uniform) on rutting performance with several AVs' penetration rates and different lane width scenarios. The finite element (FE) simulation results showed that the AVs' penetration rate together with the road lane width can influence the pavement rutting performance. For instance, it was observed that using the zero mode for AVs could increase the rutting depth only in the higher AVs' penetration rates, and the use of uniform mode could increase the pavement rutting damage in the narrower lanes

A double auction based mathematical market model and heuristics for internet-based secondhand durable good markets
No full textTrading of used goods in secondhand markets is considered to have both environmental and economic benefits. For the trading of used goods as well as new ones, this study proposes a periodic double auction model for Internet-based electronic markets whereby each bidder can place both asks and bids for selling and purchasing goods respectively during a trading period. The proposed model allows each bidder to place a spending limit order such that the difference between the cost of the purchased goods and the income obtained from the sold goods does not exceed this limit. Furthermore, since a bidder may be indifferent to multiple goods, e.g. copies of a same title, the model also provides a mechanism so that bidders may combine a number of bids inside a set and put a limit on the number of goods to be purchased in this set. The model is mathematically defined, and the corresponding winner determination problem is formulated using linear integer programming. Since the problem is shown to be NP-hard, a number of heuristic methods are also proposed. Performances of these methods are evaluated on a comprehensive test suite and statistical analyses of the results are presented. Furthermore, possible economical contribution of the model is also evaluated. The results indicate that the proposed model can be used efficiently in large-scale markets with tens of thousands of bidders. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
A fair, preference-based posted price resale e-market model and clearing heuristics for circular economy
No full textResale markets in which secondhand new and used goods are traded play an important role in circular economy with significant economic and environmental benefits. This study proposes a preferencebased posted price electronic market model for resale markets which features several mechanisms to improve the market outcome. The proposed model allows market participants to post sales and purchase orders simultaneously inside a trading round which also enables participants to use the revenue obtained from the items to be sold to purchase other items in the market. Besides, each participant is allowed to declare a budget constraint which restricts the amount that the participant will spend in the market to prevent a possible budget deficiency. Furthermore, the model also allows participants to declare their preferences of substitutabilities in their orders. In this study, the proposed model is formally defined, the corresponding market clearing problem is formulated as a hierarchical multi-objective linear integer program to provide fair allocation between the participants. Four different objective functions are proposed, and their outcomes are compared to the current market system. Since the clearing problem is NP-Hard, several heuristic methods including ant colony optimization, artificial bee colony and genetic algorithms along with problem-specific operators are proposed. The performance of the model is statistically analyzed based on several experiments. The genetic algorithm using the proposed problem-specific operators provides solutions within 3% of the optimal objective values and within 1% of the optimal fairness on average. The results also indicate that the model provides improved market outcomes and fair allocation of items among the participants, and thus it has a potential to contribute to the growth of circular economy.

The Transcultural Critic: Sabahattin Ali and Beyond
No full textThe central theme of this volume is the work of Sabahattin Ali, the Turkish author and translator from German into Turkish who achieved posthumous success with his novel Kürk Mantolu Madonna (The Madonna in the Fur Coat). Our contributors analyze this novel, which takes place largely in Germany, and several other texts by Ali in the context of world literature, (cultural) translation, and intertextuality. Their articles go far beyond the intercultural love affair that has typically dominated the discussion of Madonna. Other articles consider Zafer Şenocak’s essay collection Deutschsein and transcultural learning through picture books. An interview with Selim Özdoğan rounds out the issue.Im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes steht das Werk des türkischen Autors und Übersetzers aus dem Deutschen Sabahattin Ali, der mit seinem Roman Kürk Mantolu Madonna (Die Madonna im Pelzmantel) zu posthumem Ruhm gelangte. Der Roman, der zum Großteil in Deutschland spielt, und andere seiner Werke werden unter Aspekten der Weltliteratur, (kultureller) Übersetzung und Intertextualität diskutiert. Damit reicht der Fokus weit über die bislang im Vordergrund stehende interkulturelle Liebesgeschichte in der Madonna hinaus. Weitere Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit Zafer Şenocaks Essaysammlung Deutschsein und dem transkulturellen Lernen mit Bilderbüchern. Ein Interview mit Selim Özdoğan rundet diese Ausgabe ab
