  • a two scale approximation for efficient representation of nonlinear energy transfers in a wind wave spectrum part i Theoretical Development
    Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2008
    Co-Authors: Donald T Resio, William Perrie
    Abstract:

    Abstract A new method for estimating the transfer rates in wind wave spectra is derived and tested, based on a two-scale approximation (TSA) to the total integral for quadruplet wave–wave interactions. Comparisons of this new estimation method to the full integral are given for several idealized spectra, including Joint North Sea Wave Project spectra with different peakednesses, a finite depth case, and cases with perturbations added to underlying parametric spectra. In particular, these comparisons show that the TSA is a significant improvement over the discrete interaction approximation (DIA) in deep water and an even greater improvement in shallow water.

  • Theoretical perspectives for strategic human resource management
    Journal of Management, 1992
    Co-Authors: Patrick M Wright, Gary C Mcmahan
    Abstract:

    Critics have argued that the field of human resource management (HRM) lacks a coherent Theoreticalframework. This article attempts to further the Theoretical Development of SHRM through discussing six Theoretical models (behavioral perspective, cybernetic models, agencyltransaction cost theory, resource-based view of the firm, power/resource dependence models, and institutional theory) that are usefulfor understanding both strategic and non-strategic determinants of HR practices. Finally, the implications of a stronger Theoretical approach to SHRM research and practice are discussed.

  • responsivity based criterion for accurate calibration of ftir emission spectra Theoretical Development and bandwidth estimation
    Optics Express, 2011
    Co-Authors: Penny M Rowe, Steven Neshyba, Von P Walden
    Abstract:

    An analytical expression for the variance of the radiance measured by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) emission spectrometers exists only in the limit of low noise. Outside this limit, the variance needs to be calculated numerically. In addition, a criterion for low noise is needed to identify properly calibrated radiances and optimize the instrument bandwidth. In this work, the variance and the magnitude of a noise-dependent spectral bias are calculated as a function of the system responsivity (r) and the noise level in its estimate (σr). The criterion σr /r <0.3, applied to downwelling and upwelling FTIR emission spectra, shows that the instrument bandwidth is specified properly for one instrument but needs to be restricted for another.

  • participatory and anticipatory stages of mathematical concept learning further empirical and Theoretical Development
    Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
    Co-Authors: Martin A Simon, Nicora Placa, Arnon Avitzur
    Abstract:

    Tzur and Simon (2004) postulated 2 stages of Development in learning a mathematical concept: participatory and anticipatory. In this article, we discuss the affordances for research of this stage distinction related to data analysis, task design, and assessment as demonstrated in a 2-year teaching experiment. We describe our modifications to and further explicate and exemplify the Theoretical underpinnings of these stage constructs. We introduce a representation scheme and use it to trace the Development of a concept from initial activity, through the participatory stage, and to the anticipatory stage.
