TL;DR: ND analysis of the children's gait indicated that there was little change in the combination of step length and cadence used to achieve a particular velocity between 5 and 12 and the first peak and mid-stance trough values of the vertical component of ground reaction force did not change with age.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored risk disclosure practice using content analysis of 156 annual reports prepared by 52 UK listed companies in three different periods (1998, 2001 and 2004) and found, a trend of increasing amounts of risk disclosure in the annual report over the six-year period influenced by accounting regulation and accounting institutes' recommendations.
Abstract: This study explores risk disclosure practice using content analysis of 156 annual reports prepared by 52 UK listed companies in three different periods (1998, 2001 and 2004). The study relates the extent of risk disclosure to firm-specific characteristics. The study found, a trend of increasing amounts of risk disclosure in the annual report over the six-year period influenced by accounting regulation and accounting institutes' recommendations. US dual listing and involvement in heavy industry are significantly and positively correlated with the level of risk information disclosed by the sampled companies. Risk disclosure is not related to size or leverage.

31 Dec 2017TL;DR: Many of the techniques that are defined as replacements for conventional cryptography within an Internet of things space are outlined and some trends in the design of lightweight algorithms are discussed.
Abstract: While our conventional cryptography methods, such for AES (encryption), SHA-256 (hashing) and RSA/Elliptic Curve (signing), work well on systems which have reasonable processing power and memory capabilities, these do not scale well into a world with embedded systems and sensor networks. Thus lightweight cryptography methods are proposed to overcome many of the problems of conventional cryptography. This includes constraints related to physical size, processing requirements, memory limitation and energy drain. This paper outlines many of the techniques that are defined as replacements for conventional cryptography within an Internet of Things (IoT) space and discuss some trends in the design of lightweight algorithms.

TL;DR: This bibliometric study offers a systematic review of the research on smart cities produced since 1992 and helps bridge the division affecting this research area, demonstrating that it is caused by the dichotomous nature of the development paths of smart cities that each thematic cluster relates to and the strategic principles they in turn support.

TL;DR: Understanding is extended of how aspects of organizational culture, including leadership and social conditions, influence organizational performance in terms of improving knowledge creation processes related to creativity, and fostering innovation.
Abstract: This paper draws on findings from an in-depth case study of practices related to the meeting of organizational goals pertinent to knowledge creation, creativity and innovation performance. Overall a mixed methods approach that used both quantitative and qualitative data was adopted in empirical research conducted within a large German manufacturing firm. A quantitative analysis of survey data highlighted factors necessary to nurture an environment conducive to knowledge creation, creativity and innovation. The organization should: be open to change; encourage and value free communication and new and/or unusual ideas; tolerate mistakes; and nurture intrinsically motivated staff. It should be supported by leaders who promote these characteristics as shared values, while challenging and empowering their staff to generate new ideas in a drive to further innovation. Further analysis of focus group and interview data in the same case study identified three main determinants that underpin knowledge creation and creativity: (1) structured 'space' that creates expertise and experience of individuals while working in routine; (2) willingness to innovate - individuals' propensity to experiment with ideas, even at risk of failure; and (3) authorized and dedicated 'space' designated specifically for individuals to explore new ideas ('Freiraum'). These findings have contributed to the development of a new articulation of the organization of creativity and innovation. It draws on established concepts from the domain of knowledge and creativity management, and extends these to deepen our understanding of how aspects of organizational culture, including leadership and social conditions, influence organizational performance in terms of (1) improving knowledge creation processes related to creativity, and (2) fostering innovation.
