Huge amount of capital involved in mergers and acquisition activity has raised the stakes of all the stakeholders involved. From the shareholders, senior management, employees and customers of merging, acquiring and acquired companies to investment banks and other parties involved, everyone anticipates substantial monetary/non monetary returns. Postmerger analysis reports, though, have not been...

Debris flows can grow greatly in size and hazardous potential by eroding bed bank materials. However, erosion mechanisms are poorly understood because debris complex hybrids between a fluid flow moving mass of colliding particles, erodibility varies events, field measurements hard to obtain. Here, we (i) quantify the spatio-temporal patterns deposition (ii) identify key controls on debris-flow ...

As economic conditions result in increased exposure to market volatility and margin erosion, banks are looking to exchange fixed IT cost for variable IT cost structures. This has driven a change of internal mindset towards an increased acceptance of outsourcing to achieve IT cost optimisation. This paper examines findings from two industry case studies in outsourcing on cost, risk and technolog...

in river meandering, when flow passes through a bend, reduction of flow velocity and rising hydrostatic pressure cause super elevation phenomena at outer side and reduction of water surface at inner-side of the bend. a helical motion results, causing erosion of the outer side of the bend. installation of submerged vanes on the stream bed can reduce erosion of the outer bank significantly. in th...
