Theory building is not only underdeveloped in IT services management research, but in
general in IS. Given the paradigm shift that comes from the development away from a
networked economy towards a network economy, the lack of spending enough attention to
theorizing in IS becomes even more obvious. In the light of other "megatrends" in IS
research, such as the increasing professionalization and use of statistical methods and the
exploitation of extremely large sets of data (often harvested from social media sites), we
might lose interest in theorizing in the presence of the tremendous amount of available
empirical data. In this position paper, the author advocates that services science researchers
should focus on rigor and relevance in their research approaches.
FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS ARE EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INSTITUTIONAL PRESSURE ARISING FROM THE INTENSE COMPETITION AND REGULATION IN THE BANKING SECTOR. AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, THIS ARTICLE ANALYZES THE DETERMINANTS OF GRID ASSIMILATION AND THE ROLE OF INSTITUTIONAL PRESSURE IN THE GRID ASSIMILATION PROCESS.
The first measurement of two-pion Bose–Einstein correlations in central Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. We observe a growing trend with energy now not only for the longitudinal and the outward but also for the sideward pion source radius. The pion homogeneity volume and the decoupling time are significantly larger than those measured at RHIC.
Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of primary charged particles in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV have been measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. The data are presented for central and peripheral collisions, corresponding to 0–5% and 70–80% of the hadronic Pb–Pb cross section. The measured charged particle spectra in |η|<0.8 and 0.3<pT<20 GeV/c are compared to the expectation in pp collisions at the same sNN, scaled by the number of underlying nucleon–nucleon collisions. The comparison is expressed in terms of the nuclear modification factor RAA. The result indicates only weak medium effects (RAA≈0.7) in peripheral collisions. In central collisions, RAA reaches a minimum of about 0.14 at pT=6–7 GeV/c and increases significantly at larger pT. The measured suppression of high-pT particles is stronger than that observed at lower collision energies, indicating that a very dense medium is formed in central Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC.
IN RECENT YEARS, ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH NEW WEB 2.0 SOLUTIONS. HEREBY, NEW ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS OPENED COMPLETELY NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR COMMUNICATION. HOWEVER, NEW RISKS (E.G., INFORMATION OVERLOAD) EMERGED AS WELL. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION SHARING AND ON THE INFLUENCE ON EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE.
ESPECIALLY IN THE FINANCiAL SERVICES INDUSTRY, FAST ACCESS TO COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AS WELL AS THE AVAILABILITY OF A HIGH-PERFORMANCE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) INFRASTRUCTURE IS INDISPENSABLE TO ACCELERATE DIGITAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN GEOGRAPHICALLY DISPERSED ORGANIZATIONS. SINCE COLOCATION AS AN ICT SOURCING STRATEGY MAY LEAD TO INCREASED OPERATIONAL AGILITY, WE CONDUCTED AN EMPIRICAL STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL BUSINESS VALUE GENERATION.
Rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of inclusive J/ψ production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)
The ALICE experiment at the LHC has studied inclusive J/ψ production at central and forward rapidities in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV. In this Letter, we report on the first results obtained detecting the J/ψ through the dilepton decay into e+e− and μ+μ− pairs in the rapidity ranges |y|<0.9 and 2.5<y<4, respectively, and with acceptance down to zero pT. In the dielectron channel the analysis was carried out on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity Lint=5.6 nb−1 and the number of signal events is NJ/ψ=352±32(stat.)±28(syst.); the corresponding figures in the dimuon channel are Lint=15.6 nb−1 and NJ/ψ=1924±77(stat.)±144(syst.). The measured production cross sections are σJ/ψ(|y|<0.9)=10.7±1.0(stat.)±1.6(syst.)−2.3+1.6(syst.pol.)μb and σJ/ψ(2.5<y<4)=6.31±0.25(stat.)±0.76(syst.)−1.96+0.95(syst.pol.)μb. The differential cross sections, in transverse momentum and rapidity, of the J/ψ were also measured.
