The balanced multiple-valued filing scheme was defined by Ghosh and Abraham (1968). They constructed there two types of balanced multiplevalued filing scheme of order two. One scheme was obtained by deleting a spread generated by parallel lines in a finite affine geometry EG(t, s) and the other was obtained by deleting a partial spread generated by all the lines in a finite projective geometry ...

This study investigates the price discovery process in equity markets with informed institutional investors. Consistent extant theories, we show empirically that investors, contrast to retail trade based on leaked sign of unanticipated news and then (partially) reverse their trades when become public. We also find longer leakage period for investors exploit, less informative is it becomes These...

The list of motives by Kanin (1994) is the most cited list of motives to file a false allegation of rape.

In the proposed list, complainants file a false allegation out of material gain, emotional gain, or a di...

SUMMARY This research proposes and tests an approach to engineering distributed le systems that are aimed at wide-scale, Internet-based use. The premise is that replication is essential to deliver performance and availability, yet the traditional conservative replica consistency algorithms do not scale to this environment. Our Ficus replicated le system uses a single-copy availability, optimist...
