The study material comprised 3889 foetuses of both sexes, aged 20-42 weeks and focused on developmental interdependence between the weight of the internal organs and their relation to selected somatic features during the prenatal period. The study also attempted to distinguish potential sex-related differences in the degree of statistical interdependence between the analysed variables. As a res...

The disease epilepsy is related to hypersynchronous activity of networks of neurons. While acute epileptic seizures are the most extreme manifestation of this hypersynchronous activity, an elevated level of interdependence of neuronal dynamics is thought to persist also during the seizure-free interval. In multichannel recordings from brain areas involved in the epileptic process, this interdep...

Yes we can: A dyadic investigation of cognitive interdependence, relationship communication, and optimal behavioral health outcomes among HIV serodiscordant same-sex male couples by Kristine E. Gamarel Advisor: Professor Sarit A. Golub Research suggests that couples who adopt a "we" orientation in relation to illness demonstrate greater resiliency and an increased capacity to cope with stressor...

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) received a lot of attention in the last years, both from academia and industry. However, there is still a debate on which basic concepts form the foundation of MDE. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) from the OMG does not provided clear answers to this question. This standard instead provides a complex set of interdependent technologies. This paper is the first o...

The paper investigates the pretrial discovery process empirically. Using data from an interview survey of both attorneys in 369 federal civil cases, and by employing a simultaneous-equations tobit econometric model, I identify factors that determine the plaintiff’s and defendant’s discovery levels. The four main results show that the discovery behaviors of plaintiffs and defendants are differen...

This paper examines the issue of volatility spillovers across the three largest European stock markets, namely London, Frankfurt and Paris. The Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity model is used to capture potential asymmetric effects of innovations on volatility. During the period from 01/01/84 to 07/12/93, reciprocal spillovers are found to exist between Londo...

We examine how and why elements of organizational design depend on one another. An agent-based simulation allows us to model three design elements and two contextual variables that have rarely been analyzed jointly: a vertical hierarchy that reviews proposals from subordinates, an incentive system that rewards subordinates for departmental or firm-wide performance, the decomposition of an organ...

To track and characterize the temporal dynamics of functional interdependence among cortical areas, we developed an adaptive multivariate autoregressive (AMVAR) modeling approach to the analysis of multichannel event-related local "eld potentials (LFPs) in macaque monkeys. We demonstrate the e!ectiveness of the approach by showing event-related dynamic change of power, coherence and directed tr...

Financial liberalisation has offered global investors with new investment opportunities via international portfolio diversification. Proper investment planning as well as portfolio diversification and rebalancing require low correlations between the assets under consideration. In general, correlations between countries have increased during the global financial crisis due to contagion, interdep...

In this study, we use a series of computational models to investigate an information processing perspective on organizational control use. We evaluate and compare the information processing capabilities of various formal and informal control configurations under different information uncertainty conditions. We find that a wide range of formal controls can be used to direct subordinates performi...
