We discuss a robust alternative to the ex-post decomposition of a portfolio into the fundamental law co-efficients using statistically estimated breadth. The breadth of a market provides a measure of the number of independent bets available to the investor. We use the Keiser-Gutman stopping criterion to select the integer valued effective dimension eigenvalues greater-than or equal to 1. Such a...

Using the six information systems core areas for accreditation and the IS 2002 model curriculum as a framework, this paper proposes and uses metrics for reporting the breadth and depth of coverage across content areas, using data from a sample of 18 four-year IS degree programs. The results indicate that analysis and design and role of IS in organizations are covered in the greatest breadth, ac...

Contention tree algorithm is initially invented as a solution to improve the stable throughput problem of Slotted ALOHA in multiple access schemes. Even though the throughput is stabilized in tree algorithms, the delay of requests may grow to infinity with respect to the arrival rate of the system. Delay depends heavily on the exploration of the tree structure, i.e., breadth search, or depth se...

In the present study an attempt has been made to reconstruct stature on the basis of hand and foot measurements among Kayastha Community of Bundelkhand region of India. A total of 223 Kayastha (100 males and 123 females) ranging in age 20 to 40 years were measured for the Stature, Hand length, Hand breadth, Foot length and Foot breadth by following the standard technique. Data demonstrates that...

OBJECTIVE To establish reference ranges for thyroid length, breadth, depth, and volume in healthy term Scottish infants. DESIGN Prospective observational study of 100 (49 male) neonates. Length, breadth, and depth were measured, and the volume of each lobe was calculated using the formula for a prolate ellipsoid (volume = length x breadth x depth x pi/6). RESULTS All measurements showed gau...

Mindset theory suggests that a deliberative mindset entails openness to information in one's environment, whereas an implemental mindset entails filtering of information. We hypothesized that this open- versus closed-mindedness influences individuals' breadth of visual attention. In Studies 1 and 2, we induced an implemental or deliberative mindset, and measured breadth of attention using parti...

Our Breadth-First Heuristic Search Planner (BFHSP) is a domain-independent STRIPS planner that finds sequential plans that are optimal with respect to the number of actions it takes to reach a goal. We developed BFHSP as part of our research on space-efficient graph search. It uses breadth-first search since we found that breadth-first search is more efficient than best-first search when divide...

‎in this work‎, ‎first the differential equation characterizing position vector‎ ‎of spacelike curve is obtained in lorentzian plane $mathbb{l}^{2}.$ then the‎ ‎special curves mentioned above are studied in lorentzian plane $mathbb{l}%‎‎^{2}.$ finally some characterizations of these special curves are given in‎ ‎$mathbb{l}^{2}.$‎

This study explores the different implications of patent breadth and R&D subsidies on economic growth and endogenous market structure in a Schumpeterian growth model. We find that when the number of firms is fixed in the short run, patent breadth and R&D subsidies serve to increase economic growth as in previous studies. However, when the number of firms adjusts endogenously in the long run, R&...

This paper proposes a novel method to estimate the breadth of a search query. Using the spatial distribution of relevant categories in a taxonomy, together with an ‘importance’ score obtained using a ranked list of search results, we derive a metric that represents the breadth of a query. Several experiments have been performed on the DMOZ hierarchy with two different sets of queries and benchm...
