Evaluation as adventure: taking that risk
No full textHelen Simons traces the values that underpin her preferred methodology of case study and democratic evaluation to the central values she gained from the land of her birth. She looks back to consider what early experiences may have influenced her deep commitment to these values and how they impacted on her professional world as a teacher, a psychologist, and an evaluator. Her interview transcript which was a stimulus for this article is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ev.20302/suppinfo. Read only.

The conjoint quest for a liberal positive program: "Old Chicago", Freiburg and Hayek
No full textJames M. Buchanan's latest contribution to the post-crisis debate in political economy underpins the necessity to reexamine the legacy of the Old Chicago School of thought, being urged by Buchanan's recently stressed plea at the 2009 Regional Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society and at the Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economic Thought in 2010. The focus of the current paper is to follow his plea by exploring the central topoi of the 1930's debate of the Chicago School as seen from the work of Henry Simons and discuss its impact on the academic arena on both sides of the Atlantic thereafter. With respect to this impact, we highlight Friedrich A. von Hayek as the focal scholar who possibly transmits these topoi that later influenced the rise of Freiburgean ordoliberalism in Germany from the mid-1930's onwards as youngest archival findings suggest. By revisiting the MPS 1947 first meeting's minutes and papers, we stress the proximity in mind of Old Chicago, Hayek and the Freiburg School ordo-liberals by contributing an explanation for the surprisingly homogenous direction of these yet unconnected schools of thought. n a next, enhanced version of this project, we will subsequently re-discuss the intellectual origins of Constitutional Political Economy's research program. Following Viktor Vanberg, we argue that CPE can be interpreted as a modernized perspective on economics that carries forward three strands of transatlantic liberal programs, being precisely Old Chicago, Freiburg and Hayek. --

Particular emphasis will be given to: (a) dipole bound (which have also been the subject of numerous experimental studies), (b) dipole bound (which remain theoretical speculation), (c) resonance states of anions that can be made stable via ``solvation'', (d) dianions such as that have extremely high second electron binding (which occur in the solid state and in solution), (e) anions in which the ``extra'' electron occupies a Rydberg-like molecular (which have been seen experimentally), and (f) chemical bonds that arise when a Rydberg-like orbital is
Multi-channel services for click and mortars: Development of a design method
No full textThe rise of Internet commerce led to multiple predictions of disintermediation and the decline of physical shopping. However, a "click and mortar" approach, which combines online, offline and telephone contact, has added value for customers and for supplier profitability, as recent research confirms. Our research objective was to help organizations design Internet services for a multi-channel context. We compared several existing (service) design methods, and combined them into the "Multi-channel QFD" (MuCh-QFD) method, which was tested for effectiveness in a structured field experiment. The method consists of a standardized intake and a service definition session of four hours with multiple stakeholders. We developed a control group session with an alternative design approach: "Fundamental Engineering" (FE). The performance of both sessions is compared on: customer orientation, channel coherence, channel synergy, competitive positioning, process progression, process focus and stakeholder communication. The main conclusion is that MuCh-QFD sessions perform significantly better than FE sessions on customer orientation (p<0.001), channel coherence (p=0.01) and communication between stakeholder perspectives like sales, service, marketing, ICT and processes (p<0.001). The value of MuCh-QFD is: starting from customer priorities, explicitly connecting them to service functionality priorities, incorporating multi-channel customer needs and functions, connecting stakeholder perspectives and aiding the communication of design decisions after sessions. Finally, the field experiment illustrates a promising paradigm for developing and testing design methods via standardized half-day sessions.Technology, Policy and Managemen
On the L p-Poisson Semigroup Associated with Elliptic Systems
No full textWe study the infinitesimal generator of the Poisson semigroup in L associated with homogeneous, second-order, strongly elliptic systems with constant complex coefficients in the upper-half space, which is proved to be the Dirichlet-to-Normal mapping in this setting. Also, its domain is identified as the linear subspace of the L-based Sobolev space of order one on the boundary of the upper-half space consisting of functions for which the Regularity problem is solvable. Moreover, for a class of systems containing the Lamé system, as well as all second-order, scalar elliptic operators, with constant complex coefficients, the action of the infinitesimal generator is explicitly described in terms of singular integral operators whose kernels involve first-order derivatives of the canonical fundamental solution of the given system. Furthermore, arbitrary powers of the infinitesimal generator of the said Poisson semigroup are also described in terms of higher order Sobolev spaces and a higher order Regularity problem for the system in question. Finally, we indicate how our techniques may be adapted to treat the case of higher order systems in graph Lipschitz domains.The first author acknowledges financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, through the “Severo Ochoa Programme for Centres of Excellence in R&D” (SEV-2015-0554).

4-HYDROXY PHENYL ETHANOL (p-TYROSOL) AND ITS SINGLY HYDRATED COMPLEX
No full text M.R. Hockridge, S.M. Knight, E.G. Robertson, J.P. Simons, J. McCombie and M. Walker Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 1, 407-413 1999.Author Institution: School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK; Physical and Theoretical Chemisry Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford, UKThe conformational structures of 4-hydroxy phenol ethanol (p-tyrosol) and it's 1:1 hydrated cluster, have been characterised in a free jet expansion through a combination of mass-selected, resonantly enhanced two-photon ionisation (MS-R2PI), fluorescence excitation and ultra-violet `hole-burning' spectroscopy, together with rotational contour analysis and ab initio . It has been possible to assign the structures of both the gauche cis and gauche trans OH rotamers, as well as the extended anti conformer, and their 1:1 hydrated clusters. The `tagging' of the phenolic OH group by the hydrogen-bonded water molecule also allows unambiguous assignment of the cis and trans gauche conformers through rotational band contour analysis
