In this paper, we compare the characteristics of real world financial contracts to their counterparts in financial contracting theory. We do so by conducting a detailed study of actual contracts between venture capitalists (VCs) and entrepreneurs. We consider VCs to be the real world entities who most closely approximate the investors of theory. (1) The distinguishing characteristic of VC finan...

FTR-Raman Spectra of human dental enamel, both laser-irradiated and untreated, are reported. Spectra are compared with hydroxyapatite. It is evident that unlike the CO2 laser, the Nd/YAG laser does not induce any chemical change in dental enamel.

This paper reports progress in the development of free text retrieval systems for the Fujitsu AP1000. Work is now focussed on the classical information retrieval problem, that of retrieving documents or articles relevant to a user's query. The current version of ftr permits use of the AP1000's DDV options for storing text bases, resulting in signi cant decreases in loading times. A new graphica...

There are many types of autoregressive patterns in financial time series, and they form a transmission process. Here, we define autoregressive patterns quantitatively through an econometrical regression model. We present a computational algorithm that sets the autoregressive patterns as nodes and transmissions between patterns as edges, and then converts the transmission process of autoregressi...

Bypass graft failure and major amputation are among the most dreaded complications of infrainguinal bypass surgery. In this large multicenter analysis, we examined incidence risk factors for limb to rescue (FTR) after either surgery or failure. A prospectively maintained, database was retrospectively queried all procedures performed between 2002 2021. Redo bypasses were excluded. The primary ou...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation (FTR) has been described as a common condition after isolated mitral valve (MV) surgery, affecting patients’ prognosis. Thus, in cases without significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) but annular (TA) dilatation, TV annuloplasty is currently recommended. Studies suggesting the used cu...

This paper presents the first large-scale multivariate analysis of future-time reference (FTR) variation in world Englishes. On basis 7,922 hand-coded tokens from eight corpora International Corpus English suite, study probes effect predictor variables on choice between will and BE going to (BGT) as FTR markers. Statistically significant effects for all conditioning except polarity are found, w...

ABSTRACT Soybean stands out among the crops with greatest application of transgenics, mainly for tolerance to herbicides, pests, and diseases; however, studies on salt stress in genetically modified plants are scarce. This study aimed evaluate both traditional soybean genotypes saline during germination seedling phases. Seeds 13 were selected (five (BRS Carnaúba, BRS Pérola, Tracajá, Sambaíba, ...

BackgroundFailure to rescue (FTR) is gaining popularity as a quality metric. The relationship between patient frailty and FTR after cardiovascular surgery has not been fully explored. This study aimed utilize national database examine the impact of on FTR.MethodsOf 5,199,534 patients undergoing 2000 2014, 75,851 (1.5%) were identified from Nationwide Inpatient Sample frail based Johns Hopkins A...
