This study presents and tests an approach for estimating the potential price of equity investments, which are not (yet) traded in a market. In practice, multiples derived from comparable companies that are traded and priced in the market are frequently used as a point of reference. The accuracy of those multiples can be empirically assessed by comparing the pricing result for a company with an ...

We report an experimental study of one-dimensional (1D) electronic transport in an InSb semiconducting nanowire. A total of three bottom gates are used to locally deplete the nanowire, creating a ballistic quantum point contact with only a few conducting channels. In a magnetic field, the Zeeman splitting of the corresponding 1D sub-bands is revealed by the emergence of conductance plateaus at ...

BACKGROUND A European multicenter study (Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe, SCPE) was used to describe changes over time in multiple birth rates and cerebral palsy (CP) rates among multiple born infants, to compare CP rates and clinical types between multiples and singletons, and to analyse the influence of birth order in twins. METHODS Data were collected from 12 European population-b...

BACKGROUND A population-based study on prevalence of cerebral palsy in multiple births has not been carried out in China. The purpose of this paper was to determine the prevalence of cerebral palsy in multiple births and to explore the influence of multiple pregnancy on cerebral palsy after controlling for birthweight. METHODS A cross-sectional study of cerebral palsy was carried out among 38...

We introduce an elementary congruence-based procedure to look for q-th power multiples in arbitrary binary recurrence sequences (q ≥ 3). The procedure allows one to prove that no such multiples exist in many instances.
