    The Role of Narrative Fiction and Semi-Fiction in Organizational Studies

    No full text
    In this chapter, we discuss the use of narrative fiction and semi-fiction in organizational research and explore the strengths and weaknesses of these alternative approaches. We begin with an introduction reviewing the existing literature and clarifying what we mean by fiction and semi-fiction. We then present and discuss examples of fiction and semi-fiction focusing on how these approaches can be used in organizational research. We argue that fiction is more useful as a source of data and as a way of representing theory to an audience. Semi-fiction, on the other hand, provides a novel approach to the production and representation of theory. In both cases, researchers face a number of challenges, but also gain access to new and powerful techniques for developing insights into organizational topics.Organizational studies;Narrative fiction;Semi-fiction

    Model simulations of melting hydrometeors: a new lidar bright band from melting frozen drops

    No full text
    This study provides a model simulation of lidar and radar echoes from melting frozen drops. Results are based on a concentric-sphere Mie scattering code, together with a melting layer model. Simulations reveal the appearance of a lidar bright band in the melting layer, as well as a fainter radar bright band. Both maxima are located approximately 300 m below the freezing level for a core/shell radius of 0.7. In order to achieve a more realistic representation of the melting process, preliminary simulations have also been obtained from an eccentric sphere Mie scattering code that are in general agreement with results obtained with the concentric sphere code. The sensitivity of the algorithms to changes in initial conditions is investigated

    Cubic spline interpolation of harmonic functions

    No full text
    It is shown that for the two dimensional Laplace equation a univariate cubic spline approximation in either space direction together with a difference approximation in the other leads to the well-known nine-point finite-difference formula. For harmonic problems defined in rectangular regions this property provides a means of determining with ease accurate approximations at any point in the region

    A numerical conformal transformation method for harmonic mixed boundary value problems in polygonal domains

    No full text
    A method is given for solving two dimensional harmonic mixed boundary value problems in simply-connected polygonal domains with re-entrant boundaries. The method consists of a numerical conformal mapping together with three other conformal transformations. The numerical mapping transforms the original domain onto the unit circle, which in turn is mapped onto a rectangle by means of two bilinear and one Schwarz-Christoffel transformations. The transformed problem in the rectangle is solved by inspection

    A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams

    No full text
    We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
