In diffusion MRI, simultaneous multi-slice single-shot EPI acquisitions have the potential to increase the number of diffusion directions obtained per unit time, allowing more diffusion encoding in high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) acquisitions. Nonetheless, unaliasing simultaneously acquired, closely spaced slices with parallel imaging methods can be difficult, leading to high ...

this research presents a study concerning the relationship between acquisition premium and acquirer returns in acquisition transactions to examine whether the acquirers have been able to earn back the paid premiums through post-acquisition returns after the acquisition. this study is based on data gathered through acquisitions during the period between 2001 and 2006in tehran stock exchange (tse...

large, intermediate, and small presses in the years 1980 through 1990, and posits various hypothesis to be borne out, or not, by the data. Once a section's conclusions are stated, Dr. Black commences another logical step in her argument in the following chapter. After overcoming the odds, breaking the " first seal " and being published, these works by African American women have to be reviewed ...

BACKGROUND  Strategies to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infection in hospitals focus on patient-to-patient transmission. We used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the role of colonized patients as the source of new S. aureus acquisitions, and the reliability of identifying patient-to-patient transmission using the conventional approach of spa typing and overlapping patient stay. METHODS ...

This paper studies the comparison between greenfields and acquisitions as foreign direct investment (FDI) alternatives used by transnational corporations (TNCs). First, the determinants leading to the choice of companies between the two modes of entry into a foreign market are laid out. Then, we highlight the specific features of each alternative, contrasting their advantages and disadvantages....

We hypothesize that the root cause of many goodwill write-offs—managers’ public admission of ill-advised corporate acquisitions—is the overpriced shares of buyers at acquisition. Overpriced shares provide managers with strong incentives to invest, and particularly to acquire businesses, even at excessive prices, and doubtful strategic fit, in order to buy themselves out of the problem—overprice...

This paper investigates the issue of merging third-party ecosystems in corporate acquisitions to access innovative technologies and related capabilities. Extant explanations for how technology acquisitions create value are limited to the analysis of the internal capabilities and structures of the merging companies. Given the increasing importance of platforms and value co-creation with third-pa...

Long scan times of 3D volumetric MR acquisitions usually necessitate ultrafast in vivo gradient-echo acquisitions, which are intrinsically susceptible to magnetic field inhomogeneities. This is especially problematic for contrast-enhanced (CE)-MRI applications, where non-negligible T2* effect of contrast agent deteriorates the positive signal contrast and limits the available range of MR acquis...
