Abstract:
Abstract The museum catalogue has historically been used to classify artifacts based on their material and contextual features. The use of natural history, catalogue‐based classifications in nineteenth‐century museums resulted in curators designating some anthropological museum specimens as duplicates. These items were then used in specimen exchanges among museums and collectors, which served to extend each recipient's scope of collections. This article explores how cataloguing techniques recontextualized anthropological artifacts into specimens, which then circulated based on networks of correspondence. I compare the purpose and goals of three exchanges carried out by the Smithsonian Institution to the Rijks Ethnographic Museum in Leiden, the Historical Department of Iowa, and U.S. Congressman Joel P. Heatwole. Specimen exchange highlights the interconnections among institutions and emphasizes how approaches to collecting by one museum can affect the content of collections in other museums.Keywords:

Defining scope is perhaps the most important part of the project planning process. If you don't know what you are delivering and the boundaries of the project, you have no chance for success. In addition, if you have not done a good job of defining scope, managing scope will be almost impossible. Defining scope is not hard, but it does take an understanding of the components. Let's first think of scope in terms of high-level and low-level.KeywordsCapital AccountProject BoundaryProject ScopeScope StatementCost Estimate PackageThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Museums and anthropology are closely connected with each other.The basic concepts of museum anthropology include two aspects: anthropology used in museums and anthropology concerning museums.The former refers to collections of museum articles(anthropological field work),the research into museum book reservations(interpretations of the meaning of ethnographic articles)and museum exhibitions and education(cultural construction and interpretation);and the latter mainly focuses on the following points: pondering of localizations in community museums,museum knowledge construction and cultural diversity in information times,and cultural politics showed in museum knowledge production and intangible cultural heritage protection.

When analysing impact of IT on business, Professor Porter departed from his former ideology, his discussion is not all-sided and totally correct Being not considerate is that he commented impact on geographical scope and industrial scope only, excluding segmentary scope and vertical scope. Being not correct is that he mentioned expanding or shrinking of competitive scope in general, but the changing direction of four competitive scopes is not always consistent. This paper considers that under impact of information technology, the three of four competitive scopes will shrink: segmentary scope, industrial scope and vertical scope; only one will expand: geographical scope.

Abstract This chapter turns to Article 2 of the Market Abuse Regulation, which defines the scope of the Regulation in its entirety. Article 2 distinguishes between the primary scope of application governed by Article 2(1) and the extended scope of application solely for the prohibition of market abuse governed by Article 2(2). However, Article 2(3) sets almost no limitation for the scope of application for certain transactions, orders, or behaviour on trading venues. Finally, Article 2(4) defines the territorial scope of application. This chapter discusses the historical development of Article 2’s scope of application before turning to more detailed commentary on each section of the Article.

Business efficiency is based on scope. Different enterprises have different optimal scope and its own way of fulfilling it. This essay deals with the following: To achieve optimal efficiency, how an enterprise handles its overmuch resources under the optimal scope; the pure scope expansion; the scope expansion when the relationship between price and output appears linear. The essay concludes the following: when the enterprise has the preliminary optimal scope and doesn't own overmuch resources, the pure scope expansion as the way of the resources and enlargement is the best; when the relationship between price and output appears linear, the enterprise can achieve optimal expansion coefficient and greatest optimal scope.

Firms with different scope of technologies experience different firm growth. Understanding such heterogeneity requires knowing not only what drives technologies' scope but also why these drivers remain different across firms. I propose inventor specialization as a driver of technologies' scope: firms with more specialized inventors create narrower scope technologies. I also propose that these narrower scope technologies themselves in turn induce these firms' inventors to remain more specialized. I empirically demonstrate this two-way interrelationship in the U.S. communication equipment industry using policy shocks as natural experiments and a new measure of scope. This interrelationship has important implications for why resources and organization appear isomorphic within a firm but heterogeneous across firms. t © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Of all the disciplines of man's study, anthropology is the only one that seeks to fully understand man by studying his existence in the space of life, the space in which he lives, and in the evolutionary space of time. Such anthropology falls under four major categories physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archeology. The studies of society fall under the category of ethnography. From such an ethnographic point of view, the study explores the novel ‘Kopella Graamam’. Researchers refer to the Kopella Graamam novel as an ethnographic novel. The book reflects the life and history of the Kammavars community who migrated to Tamil Nadu from Andhra Pradesh. It is evident from this study that the novel contains all the elements of ethnography to the extent that it is the forerunner of the novels.

Firstly, this article analyses the basic value and the establishing principle of the accepting scope of administrative procedure,then it reviews the present situation and shortcoming of the establishing pattern.The writer argues that the very narrow scope have been the most outstanding problem of administrtive procedure act,and suggests rebuilding the the scope by the pattern of general description plus negtive enumeration.Also, the writer argues that the abstract and inner-administrative behavior should be incorporated into the scope,meaning while,the scope should be enlarged from the views of all kinds of benefits,litigants and the content of the judicial review.
