A monopole or a dipole source in a fluid borehole generates acoustic waves, part of which propagate along the borehole and the other part enter the formation propagating as Por S-waves. The refracted waves propagating along the borehole wall are used to determine Pand S-wave velocities. However, a significant fraction of the seismic energy radiates into the formation. In this laboratory study, ...

This study proposes a model of dynamic use diffusion that serves as a basis for investigating post-adoption technologyusage behavior. Dynamic use diffusion measures the extent to which technology usage has evolved since the time of adoption. Herein, antecedents and consequences of dynamic use diffusion are investigated. A large-scale, random sample survey was conducted in the United States, Swe...

We report a study of the relationship between form and meaning in the most frequent monosyllabic words in the lexicon of English. There is a small but significant correlation between the phonological distance and the semantic distance between each pair of words. To this extent, words that have similar meanings tend to sound similar. Words differ as to the size of this meaning-form correlation i...

This study examines the impact of country-specific uncertainty on choice payment method in international acquisitions. Our results show a negative association between level target and cash transactions. Specifically, when host country experiences high uncertainty, acquirers are more likely to choose non-cash transactions which acquiring firms can issue their own equity firm as part or all purch...
