Consider real reductive group G, as defined in [Wal88]. Let Π be an irreducible admissible representation of G with the distribution character ΘΠ, [Har51]. Denote by uΠ the lowest term in the asymptotic expansion of ΘΠ, [BV80]. This is a finite linear combination of Fourier transforms of nilpotent coadjoint orbits, uΠ = ∑ O cOμ̂O. As shown by Rossmann, [Ros95], the closure of the union of the ni...

Since the transportation sector plays an important role in business cycle propagation, we develop indicators for this sector to identify its current state, and predict its future. We define the reference cycle, including both business and growth cycles, for this sector over the period from 1979 using both the conventional National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) method and modern time series...

While much foundational work in business and management rests on the broad tenets of systems thinking the position and assumptions of systems theories have been subject to question and critique, and its place in today curricula is therefore not so assured. Even so it has been claimed (Atwater at al, 2008) that many academics in business schools still regard systems ideas of being of import alth...

Organizations (though the design of their employment application websites) have the option of prohibiting or allowing certain types of traditional applicant communications such as cover letters. However, while doing so may streamline recruiting processes, it may come at a price. This study hypothesizes that the opportunity to submit cover letters during a selection process should improve proced...

In recent years, business process models are used to de ne security properties for the corresponding business information systems. In this context, a number of approaches emerged that integrate security properties into standard process modeling languages. Often, these security properties are depicted as text annotations or graphical extensions. However, because the symbols of process-related se...

This letter extends recent work by Bahmani-Oskooee (Bahmani-Oskooee, M., Do exchange rates follow a random walk process in Middle Eastern countries? Economics Letters 1998;58:339–344) on testing long-run purchasing power parity for Middle Eastern countries during the post-Bretton Woods period. Using multivariate nonlinear models, strong support is provided for highly nonlinear reversion of real...

In [M-T] (also, cf. [Mœ2]), Mœglin and Tadić construct the discrete series for a number of families of classical groups. However, they do not address discrete series for the split classical group SO(2n, F ), only the nonsplit ones. The basic reason for this is that the Weyl groups are different: the groups considered by Mœglin and Tadić all have Weyl groups of the form W ∼= { permutations and s...

Executive Overview Despite suggestions that business school professors do not understand what actually accounts for the performance of business organizations, the evidence is anecdotal at best. We review past work, develop expectations, and provide large-scale evidence for examining the validity of such suggestions. We accessed extensive data provided by Dun & Bradstreet and procured detailed i...
