The changing landscape of the globalisation of international higher education
The transformation of the higher education sector as a global export industry has proliferated to countries that have been the traditional source of international students. The traditional view of the globalisation of international education, the top-down approach, is no longer adequate to explain the phenomenon. A better model to explain the globalisation of international education, because it ...

Upstream coopetition in the finnish forest industry – the case of the labour and roundwood markets
The demand-side cooperation in the Finnish forest industry has attracted much research interest during the past decade. However, the upstream or supplier-side cooperation has been less studied. Because of the broad cooperative and coopetitive traditions, the Finnish forest industry constitutes an excellent case in studying cooperation conventions in different parts of the product or supply chain. ...

Interval type-1 non-singleton type-2 fuzzy logic systems are type-2 adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems
This article presents a new learning methodology based on a hybrid algorithm for interval type-1 non-singleton type-2 TSK fuzzy logic systems (FLS). Using input-output data pairs during the forward pass of the training process, the interval type-1 non-singleton type-2 TSK FLS output is calculated and the consequent parameters are estimated by the recursive least-squares (RLS) method. In the ...

Alliances and networks: the next generation
An increasing number of organisations view strategic alliances as the adequate response to rapid developments in market demands. By (temporarily) joining forces, products and services can be supplied when they are in demand. The poor success rate with respect to alliances (60—70% of all alliances are disbanded prematurely) indicates that co-operation of this type involves a number of ...

Scanbodies and Edentulous Ridges
Scanning long span edentulous is a very likely culprit with rendering dimensionally accurate models because to the software and camera, the geometric shapes are too identical across the ridge. The more we can disrupt the symmetry with large, short, non-reflective and asymmetric scanbodies, the more likely we are to keep the models accurate. This video presentation address some of those issues ...

A geographical model of high species diversity
Several cases of high species diversity, for example in tropical rain forests, imply that speciation has been frequent or rapid. However, how speciation could proceed so frequently as to generate extraordinary diversity still remains unsolved, despite recent advancements of diverse theories of allopatric and sympatric speciation. This paper presents a theoretical model that demonstrates the ...

A Comparison of Methods for Estimating Relative Abundance of Grapsid Crabs
Abstract Grapsid crabs are one of the most common, and potentially important, elements of the mangrove fauna but relatively little information is available on patterns in their distribution and abundance. In part, this may be due to difficulties in estimating the abundance of burrowing species. By not having reliable methods of estimating changes in distribution and abundance of crabs, ...
