in financial distress studies selection of variable is commonly basedon the success of variables in variable sets employed in earlierbankruptcy studies, suggestions in the literature or an accompanyingdata reduction in a large set of variables. if seemingly different variablesets exhibit a strong relationship then heterogeneous variable setscapture common information. canonical correlation anal...

This paper focuses on inconsistencies arising from the use of NPV and CAPM for capital budgeting. It shows that (i) CAPM capital budgeting decision-making based on disequilibrium NPV is deductively inferred by the Capital Asset Pricing Model, (ii) the use of the disequilibrium NPV is widespread in finance both as a decision rule and as a valuation tool, (iii) the disequilibrium NPV does not gua...

angiotensin i-converting enzyme (ace) gene polymorphism; genotype dd or d allele may be involved with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (dn). we examined the frequency of ace gene polymorphism in 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetes with nephropathy and 85 without it) in tehran, iran. dna was extracted from the white blood cells and the i/d polymorphism of the ...

a 9 bp deletion between cytochrome oxidase subunit ii and trna lys genes in mitochondrial dna, has proven to be an extremely informative marker for tracing population history. using the pcr-page and pcr-sscp techniques in this study, 152 dna samples collected from iranian populations were screened for the 9 bp deletion. no deletion was observed. a length polymorphism, most probably a 9 bp tripl...
