We show that the techniques for resource control that have been developed by the so-calledlight logicscan be fruitfully applied also to process algebras. In particular, we present a restriction of higher-order π-calculus inspired by soft linear logic. We prove that any soft process terminates in polynomial time. We argue that the class of soft processes may be naturally enlarged so that interesting processes are expressible, still maintaining the polynomial bound on executions.

Synthesis Of Materials

Among the thermodynamic parameters governing the preparation of novel materials, temperature (T) and pressure (p) play an important role. In Materials Chemistry, the synthesis of materials needs energy in order to enhance the diffusion of atoms to the equilibrium positions required by the specific structure and to induce the formation of chemical bonds. The comparison of the energy conveyed by both parameters (p and T) underlines that high pressures can be associated - in liquid or solid media - with soft processes. Consequently this paper describes the main factors induced by the parameter pressure that are able to support new structural forms or generate novel materials. Two different approaches are presented: (i) for a given composition with characteristic chemical bonds, high pressures can induce structural transformations, (ii) high pressures lead to the formation of novel materials from different precursors through the formation of new chemical bonds.

Soft Processes

Intangible soft processes of HR are possible to measure through HR Six-sigma, which pulls the HR function closer to strategic alignment with organizational goals. The current study explores the application of six-sigma to the HR function. The study also aims at process mapping the HR Six-sigma process in two multinational service organizations. Pattern matching and literal replication as a method of analysis has been used. Implications of the process and lessons for the service industry are discussed, with implication for Indian managers and Strategic HRM literature.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to offer clarity on a central concept introduced in Porter’s The Competitive Advantage of Nations, i.e. the cluster. The authors situate the concept introduced by Porter (1990) relative to two of its antecedents, the industrial district and industrial complex. Placing the cluster in a historical context permits consideration of the extent to which it, as a concept for analysis, may be differentiated from other geography-based approaches to economic phenomena. In this way, this paper examines the added value of the cluster concept derived from economic factors. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides a detailed literature review tracing the evolution of theories of location and agglomeration into which Porter’s cluster fits. The evolution of Porter’s own conceptualisation of the cluster and how this relates to theoretical clarity surrounding the concept is explored. Comparative analysis of theories of location, agglomeration and clustering is provided to identify similarities and differences across the approaches and identify the added value of the cluster concept in relation to other approaches. Findings Clustering represents a process associated with spatial organisational form which may offer advantages in efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility. Cluster benefits can be appreciated through the lens of Young’s (1928) identified sources of increasing returns. A key aspect in clustering is revealed in terms of its role in enabling four sources of increasing returns. The authors outline how these sources of increasing returns are related to “soft” processes of networking, interaction and individual and collective learning. Porter’s Diamond is a self-reinforcing system which can permit increasing returns and reinforce such tendencies of economic activity within agglomerations. Originality/value Added value from Porter’s cluster concept is identified in the context of both its locational anchoring and in terms of its potential for understanding the role of exploitation of increasing returns for development. This points to the importance of focusing on clustering as a process rather than on cluster within typologies of organisational form. This implies that the nature of relationships (and how they change) within and across markets, institutions and actors lies at the heart of clustering because of their roles in knowledge-generation, including innovation, knowledge sharing and upgrading.

Jet Structure

The results of studies of the jet structure of hadronic Z° decays performed in the first year of LEP operation are reviewed. The measurements of the QCD coupling constant α 8 (M z ) and the detection of the presence of the triple gluon vertex are summarized. After a brief review of the promising status of QCD in relation to even the very soft processes, the running of the coupling constants to high energy is considered in the context of grand unified theories. The necessity and importance of further theoretical work is stressed.
