This optimizes impact Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) Return Assets (ROA). develops a mathematical formulation that connects components CCC ROA. sample includes non-financial firms listed in DJIA30 NASDAQ100. data covers quarterly perio...

Pretheoretically we hold that we cannot gain justification or knowledge through an epistemically circular reasoning process. Epistemically circular reasoning occurs when a subject forms the belief that p on the basis of an argument A, where at least one of the premises of A already presupposes the truth of p. It has often been argued that process reliabilism does not rule out that this kind of ...

hancement at the operative site may simply represent recurrent tumor. We therefore provide clinical and radiographic follow-up data on patients in whom postoperative enhancement appeared along the line of resection (Table). Late CT scan observations when considered together with the clinical course suggest the following: (1) “benign” contrast enhancement can occur after brain tumor surgery; its...

It has been suggested that the work environment of the United States Congress bears similarity to a fixed-interval reinforcement schedule. Consistent with this notion, Weisberg and Waldrop (1972) described a positively accelerating pattern in annual congressional bill production (selected years from 1947 to 1968) that is reminiscent of the scalloped response pattern often attributed to fixed-in...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the costs of pneumococcal disease in Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, to describe how these costs vary between different patient groups, and to discuss factors that affect these cost variations. METHODS The cost of pneumococcal disease was estimated from the health care perspective. For each country, baseline cost estimates were primarily developed using health resources info...

Binary radio pulsars are superb tools for mapping binary orbits, because of the precision of the pulse timing method (e.g Taylor & Weisberg 1989). To date, all orbital parameters for binary pulsars have been derived from observations of the pulsar alone. We present the rst observations of the radial velocity variations due to the binary motion of a companion to a radio pulsar. Our results demon...

Regression analysis can imply a broader range of techniques that ordinarily appreciated. Statisticians commonly define regression so that the goal is to understand “as far as possible with the available data how the the conditional distribution of some response y varies across subpopulations determined by the possible values of the predictor or predictors” ( Cook and Weisberg, 1999: 27). For ex...
