Charmonium at CLEO
At CLEO, charmonium spectroscopy is pursued both thorugh e+e- annihilation
data taken in the Upsilon region and more recently at psi(2S). A nmber of first
observations (eta_c', h_c, pi and K form factors) have been made, and numerous
high precision measurements have been made in radiative and hadronic decays of
charmonium resonances. A brief report of these contributions is presented.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, plenary talk contributed to XI International

Investigating factors influencing the decision making process for ERP adoption and implementation: An exploratory case study
The rapid developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have resulted into a borderless business environment along with an amplified market competition. Traversing through such a trend globally, organisations have significantly focused on adopting and implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to automate their prime business processes, enhance organisational productivity with lower costs and prompt service delivery to fulfil consumer demands. Thus, ERP systems are considered as a principal source to provide imperative information vital for strategic decision making process. On the contrary, ERP systems adoption and implementation is also highly considered as a challenging and expensive process that not only requires rigorous efforts but also demands to have an exhaustive investigation of influential factors that are critical to the adoption and implementation of ERP systems. A plethora of research studies have been theorised exploring factors influencing the decision making process for ERP adoption and implementation; however, the authors claim that these studies are not filtered comprehensively in terms of the different perspectives. Notwithstanding, the implications of such research have yet to be assessed, leaving scope for timeliness and novel research. This paper thus focuses on the ERP critical success factors from five different perspectives such as: stakeholders; process; technology; organisation; and project based on the literature analysis. These perspectives comprise of 24 factors that are imperative for a successful ERP adoption and implementation, which are validated through a qualitative single case study based research. The empirical findings illustrate that these factor help realise significant benefits such as reducing costs and saving time or extra effort
Multiterminal single-molecule--graphene-nanoribbon thermoelectric devices with gate-voltage tunable figure of merit ZT
We study thermoelectric devices where a single 18-annulene molecule is
connected to metallic zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) via highly transparent
contacts that allow for injection of evanescent wave functions from ZGNRs into
the molecular ring. Their overlap generates a peak in the electronic
transmission, while ZGNRs additionally suppress hole-like contributions to the
thermopower. Thus optimized thermopower, together with suppression of phonon
transport through ZGNR-molecule-ZGNR structure, yield the thermoelectric figure
of merit ZT ~ 0.5 at room temperature and 0.5 < ZT < 2.5 below liquid nitrogen
temperature. Using the nonequilibrium Green function formalism combined with
density functional theory, recently extended to multiterminal devices, we show
how the transmission resonance can also be manipulated by the voltage applied
to a third ZGNR electrode, acting as the top gate covering molecular ring, to
tune the value of ZT.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, PDFLaTe
