TLDR
This final installment of the paper considers the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now.Abstract:
In this final installment of the paper we consider the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now. To a considerable extent the continuous case can be obtained through a limiting process from the discrete case by dividing the continuum of messages and signals into a large but finite number of small regions and calculating the various parameters involved on a discrete basis. As the size of the regions is decreased these parameters in general approach as limits the proper values for the continuous case. There are, however, a few new effects that appear and also a general change of emphasis in the direction of specialization of the general results to particular cases.read more

Strong ties, weak ties and islands: structural and cultural predictors of organizational innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the tendency of entrepreneurs to engage in innovation relates to their structural and cultural embeddedness, using micro-data on entrepreneurial teams and the organizational innovations they attempt to develop, a predictive model of creative action is presented to address this question.

Recent advances in wavelet analyses: Part 1. A review of concepts
TL;DR: A multiresolution continuous wavelet analysis method is shown to significantly improve the determination of the temporal-scale structure of a given signal and the concept of wavelet entropy in bothContinuous wavelet cross-correlation and wavelet coherence are introduced allowing for an estimation of theporal evolution of aGiven hydrological or climatologic signal's complexity.

Transmission of information
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative measure of information is developed which is based on physical as contrasted with psychological considerations, and how the rate of transmission of this information over a system is limited by the distortion resulting from storage of energy is discussed from the transient viewpoint.

Certain factors affecting telegraph speed
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the wave shape depends somewhat on the type of circuit over which intelligence is to be transmitted and that for most cases the optimum wave is neither rectangular nor a half cycle sine wave as is frequently used but a wave of special form produced by sending a simple rectangular wave through a suitable network.
