We document a trend towards fewer and more-focused conglomerates, and develop a model that explains these patterns based on increasing technological specialization. In the model, diversification adds value by allowing efficient within-firm resource reallocation. However, synergies decrease with technological specialization, leading to fewer diversified firms over time. Also, the optimal level o...

Aghajari Formation, known as Upper Fars Group, is developed throughout the Folded Zagros Zone and has a thickness of 2966 m in its type section in SW of Iran and 1473 m in the study area, located 20 km west of Shiraz. Aghajari Formation, in this area, consists of three major facies associations. These are "fine", "medium" and "coarse" grained terrigenous sediments, usually interpreted as channe...

Mice bearing subcutaneous EMT-6 mammary carcinomas received a single intravenous injection of 1.9 nm diameter gold particles (up to 2.7 g Au/kg body weight), which elevated concentrations of gold to 7 mg Au/g in tumours. Tumour-to-normal-tissue gold concentration ratios remained approximately 8:1 during several minutes of 250 kVp x-ray therapy. One-year survival was 86% versus 20% with x-rays a...

This contribution analyzes water chemical data for the Choapa basin, North Central Chile, for the period 1980-2004. The parameters considered are As, Cu Fe, pH, EC, SO₄⁻², Cl⁻¹, and HCO[Formula: see text], from samples taken in nine monitoring stations throughout the basin. Results show rather moderate contents of As, Cu, and Fe, with the exception of the Cuncumén River and the Aucó creek, expl...

Histiocytic sarcoma is an extremely rare and very aggressive malignancy, with poor prognosis. The cases described in the literature are few and the treatment is not currently considered consensual. The clinical presentation is very variable. Its characterization is made based primarily on the histology. The authors present a case of an 82-year-old woman, with multiple adenopatic retroperitoneal...

I document the time-varying investment efficiency of conglomerates compared with single-segment firms. find that, during recessions, have higher Q-sensitivity than do stand-alone firms, in contrast to relationship expansion periods. also that conglomerates, benefits from internal capital markets, exhibit increased dependence on recessionary periods, while firms significantly increase cash reten...
