Conglomerates are generalized frameworks for informetric research. In this article, the h-index of a conglomerate is defined and it is shown how this construction generalizes the standard definition of the h-index. It is further shown how non-trivial constructions, such as Prathap’s h-indices, fit well into a conglomerate framework. An example illustrates the use of the conglomerate framework.

the permian deposits in the stratigraphic section of sangsar (located in the eastern alborz), are the best expose in the semnan area. this sequence consists of the doroud (asselian-sakmarian), ruteh (artinskian-murgabian) and nessen (early djulfian) formations. the dorud formation in the studied section with 56 m thickness consists of conglomerate, sandstone and quartzite, which is disconformit...

We estimate continuous-time event-history models of the acquisition of conglomerate vs. non-conglomerate and predatory vs. friendly acquisitions among the 1962 Fortune 500 between January, 1963, and December, 1968. Our analysis of predatory acquisitions reveals that there were strong disciplinary motivations for these acquisitions in the 1960s. Q ratios were, by a large margin, the most importa...

Electrophilic additions of DL- and L-Cys to propenoic acid afforded (RS)- and (R)-2-amino-3-(2-carboxyethylthio)propanoic acids [(RS)- and (R)-ACE], respectively. (RS)-ACE was found to exist as a conglomerate based on its melting point, solubility, and infrared spectrum. (RS)-ACE was optically resolved by preferential crystallization to yield (R)- and (S)-ACE. The obtained (R)- and (S)-ACE were...

This research deals with the geometry of Khalakan Anticline by using field data. The anticline is located in NE Iraq, within High Folded Zone Iraqi Western Zagros Fold – Thrust Belt where southwestern limb it represents boundary between Low and folded zones. age exposed rocks study area ranges from Cretaceous to Late Pliocene. Qamchuqa Kometan formations expose two limbs as oldest rocks, while ...

This article reviews the conglomerate literature, with a focus on recent papers that have cast strong doubt on the hypothesis that conglomerate firms destroy value on average when compared to similar stand-alone firms. Recent work has shown that investment decisions by conglomerate firms are consistent with value maximization; conglomerate firms trade at an average premium relative to single-se...
