In this paper, we examine how the cash holdings have an impact on R&D expenditures and whether the ownership mechanisms moderate the R&D expendituresthe resource of internal funds relationship. The result showed that cash holdings have a positively relationship with R&D expenditures. Specially, we found that institutional ownership had a positive moderating effect of the R&D expenditures-the re...

BACKGROUND Measures of mechanical work may be useful in evaluating efficiency of walking during pregnancy. Various adaptations in the body during pregnancy lead to altered gait, consequently contributing to the total energy cost of walking. Measures of metabolic energy expenditure may not be reliable for measuring energetic cost of gait during pregnancy as pregnancy results in numerous metaboli...

We study a generalized version of reversal bounded Turing machines where, apart from several tapes on which the number of head reversals is bounded by r(n), there are several further tapes on which head reversals remain unrestricted, but size is bounded by s(n) (where n denotes the input length). Recently [9,10], such machines were introduced as a formalization of a computation model that restr...

A criterion is given for a strong type in a finite rank stable theory T to be (almost) internal to a given nonmodular minimal type. The motivation comes from results of Campana [5] which give criteria for a compact complex analytic space to be “algebraic” (namely Moishezon). The canonical base property for a stable theory states that the type of the canonical base of a stationary type over a re...

BACKGROUND Rapid progress in perinatal medicine has resulted in numerous tracheo-bronchial interventions on fetal and neonatal airways. The present study was performed to compile normative data for tracheal dimensions at varying gestational ages. MATERIAL/METHODS Using anatomical dissection, digital image analysis (NIS-Elements BR 3.0) and statistical analysis (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Stud...

OBJECTIVE Microleakage continues to be a main reason for failure of root canal therapy, where the challenge has been to achieve an adequate seal between the internal tooth structure and the main obturation material, gutta-percha. The Resilon/Epiphany (R/E) system uses a new obturation material that bonds chemically with the internal tooth structure, thereby decreasing the possibility of microle...

AIM The quantification and longitudinal monitoring of athlete training load (TL) provides a scientific explanation for changes in performance and helps manage injury/illness risk. Therefore, accurate and reliable monitoring tools are essential for the optimization of athletic performance. The aim of the present study was to establish the relationship between measures of internal [heart rate (HR...

Equivalence in physics is discussed on the basis of experimental data accompanied by experimental errors. It is pointed out that the introduction of the equivalence being consistent with the mathematical definition is possible only in theories constructed on non-standard number spaces by taking the experimental errors as infinitesimal numbers. Following the idea for the equivalence, a new descr...
