Cost of Doing Business Abroad (CDBA) is an important construct in International Business. The variety of causes leading to the CDBA has been the subject of and many scholars’ examinations. Extending CDBA to an institutional level, we develop a new perspective on the CDBA by incorporating institutional misalignment between the home and the host country as a cause of CDBA. We propose that institu...

Dr. Hani Aziz Ameen* Received on :17/8/2009 Accepted on:7/1/2010 Abstract Shaft misalignment is considered as one of the common repeated problems in most rotating machineries , which leads to generate vibrations and extra dynamic loads on transmitting gears teeth, also leads to nonuniformity in distribution of applied load along the meshing tooth face by being concentrated on one side of tooth ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate whether ocular torsion and vertical misalignment differ in the upright vs supine position in skew deviation and to compare these findings with those in trochlear nerve palsy. METHODS Ten patients with skew deviation, 14 patients with unilateral peripheral trochlear nerve palsy, and 12 healthy subjects were prospectively recruited. With subjects first in the upright p...

Shift work is a risk factor for hypertension, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. This increased risk cannot be fully explained by classic risk factors. One of the key features of shift workers is that their behavioral and environmental cycles are typically misaligned relative to their endogenous circadian system. However, there is little information on the impact of acute circadian misal...

one of the problems associated with adaptive fir filters in the identification of systems with long impulse responses, is their excessive computational complexity. recently a new kind of adaptive filters, based on three-level clipping of the input signal has been presented for reduction of their computational complexity. in this paper, a theoretical analysis of the steady-state misalignment of ...

We introduce a C++ header-only library that is used to solve the axion equation of motion, MiMeS. MiMeS makes no assumptions regarding cosmology and mass axion, which allows user consider various cosmological scenarios axion-like models. also includes convenient python interface be called without writing any code in C++, with minimal overhead.

Two crucial aspects of the data processing of the recently proposed DIGISTAR II and DIGISTAR III multiple field-of-view (FOV) star trackers, which use one/two mirrors deflecting the sensor FOV to two/three orthogonal directions, respectively, are here analyzed. These aspects are the star identification process and the estimation of the mirror misalignment. In particular it is shown how to adapt...
