Has UML usage decline in Industry?

Can anyone tell definitional difference between DTM (digital terrain model) and DEM(digital elevation model)? Please answer.

I asked about 20 people for my thesis, each of them lead a small organization. Most of them asked me for a feedback about their interviews and organizations. Any recommended litterature or testimony ? I understood that they want this before I fully analyze my results.

I believe it is close from an open research approach, or a participatory research, but still not 100% sure. I also wrote a 1 page summary of the interview which I could give them, but I am not sure how to introduce it. Thanks

(Thesis is on business administration science, strategy, cultural field, music organizations)

Hello. Do you think learning a programming language is necessary for data mining? or is learning "RapidMiner" enough? I am pursuing my master's degree in business administration and have recently become interested in learning data mining.

Hi,

am looking for english document of " Rego, A., & Souto, S. (2004). Comprometimento organizacional em organizações autentizóticas: um estudo luso-brasileiro. Revista de Administração de Empresas, 44(3), 30-43."

Replacing the vector of expected returns with realized returns [historical] may be convenient but often results in the SML slope being flat or even negative. Roll (1977) and Fama and French (1992) have works that can be seen as opposing, but with the recent prominence of the role of cognitive dissonance in investor behavior [behavioral finance] Kahneman, Tversky and Shiller's work, why even bother empirically testing the CAPM and estimating Beta? Just pick an ex ante risk premium.

Karels - Prakash (1987) divide factors of financial distress into two wide categories: internal risk factors and external shocks. Is there any paper or model that is focused on poor management (except fraud, projects mismanagement)

There is a growing literature on impression management, both assertive and defensive strategies. For example, the mere placement of items on a desk, layout of office furnishings and wall decorations can convey meaning to others. Moreover, some people use objects ("expressive equipment") to convey positive images to others. Image is extremely important, especially in a business environment. A cluttered desk might cause others to have an adverse (undesirable) impression of an employee. Therefore, do neat employees perform better than employees with cluttered work spaces? Is there any correlation between a neat or cluttered work space and an employee's performance?

I've located older versions of the articles by Cameron, K., and Freeman, S., but I've not located the actual instrument.
