Abstract This paper examines the relationship between financial constraints of acquiring firms and their choice a minority over majority acquisition. Our findings show that likelihood bidders undertaking acquisition increases with constraints, including deviation from target capital structure, overleverage deficit. We also find impacts leverage on engaging in or is asymmetric for underleveraged...

Target localization has been a popular research topic in recent years since it is the basis of all kinds location-based applications. For GNSS-denied urban or indoor environments, method based on time-of-arrival (TOA) one most methods due to its high accuracy and simplicity. However, Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error major cause that degrades TOA-based method. Identifying whether received signal a...

one of the major issues of increasing agricultural production, is adaptation of technology to specific climatic variables in cultivated areas. knowing the weather and climatic condition and periodic yearly and multi-year changes of meteorological phenomena and deviations from normal values ​​are of major requirements of modern agriculture. in this study, daily, monthly and annual weather data o...

The linear absolute shrinkage and selection operator(Lasso) method improves the low prediction accuracy and poor interpretation of the ordinary least squares(OLS) estimate through the use of L1 regularization on the regression coefficients. However, the Lasso is not robust to outliers, because the Lasso method minimizes the sum of squared residual errors. Even though the least absolute deviatio...

Data mapping is the essence of being human. This report follows the process of data mapping; the transmission of a structured utterance from one domain to another. It starts with signals in the world and moves through experience and engagement with the world through those signals. The paper develops descriptions of the materials and mechanisms of data mapping. The descriptions are aids and conv...

This study sought to establish the effect of financial leverage and risk management on profitability commercial banks listed at Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The theoretical framework encompassed a review shift ability theory theory. used longitudinal research design. target population comprised 11 NSE. sampling technique this was drawn from eleven NSE hence census sampling. Secondary data...

in this work, harmony search meta-heuristic optimization algorithm has been developed for aerodynamic shape optimization problem for the first time. the aerodynamic shape, which has been investigated, is an airfoil with parces method for its shape parameterization. the problem was minimization of aerodynamic objective function using inverse design method and the objective function has been the ...
