According to recent experimental data at GSI, the rate of the number of daughter ions Ce, produced by the nuclear K–shell electron capture (EC) decay of the H–like ion Pr, is modulated in time with a period TEC = 7.06(8) sec and an amplitude aEC = 0.18(3). We show that this phenomenon can be explained by neutrino mass differences and derive a value for the difference of squared masses ∆m21 = m ...

This paper tests empirically the hypothesis that the greater the intangibility of a firm’s resources, the greater the sustainability of its competitive advantage. Resource intangibility is measured by: (1) Tobin’s q and (2) the predicted value from a hedonic regression of q on several accounting measures of intangibles. Sustainability is measured by the persistence of firm-specific profits. Usi...

The aim of this article is to present the application of a strategic map for hospital management. The main hypothesis is, that strategic map for a hospital should differ from the classical one by Kaplan & Norton due to different priorities hospital work specificity as such. The main finding is that financial perspective is fundamental, basic for hospital activity. In hospital “X” strategic map,...

Using the published Kamiokande binned data for sub-GeV and multiGeV atmospheric neutrinos, we have searched for the optimum set of three flavor neutrino oscillation parameters within the constraints of reactor experiments. It is found that χ is minimized for (∆m21, ∆m 2 32, θ12, θ13, θ23) = (7.4×10 eV, 2.6×10 eV, 2, 3, 45) and (2.6×10 eV, 7.4×10 eV, 0, 87, 46) with χmin = 87.8 (76%CL). The sets...

The algebra Sym of symmetric functions is a proper subalgebra of QSym: for example, M11 and M12 +M21 are symmetric, but M12 is not. As an algebra, QSym is generated by those monomial symmetric functions corresponding to Lyndon words in the positive integers [11, 6]. The subalgebra of QSym ⊂ QSym generated by all Lyndon words other than M1 has the vector space basis consisting of all monomial sy...

Two mouse monoclonal anti-anti-idiotopic antibodies (anti-anti-Id, Ab3), AF14 and AF52, were prepared by immunizing BALByc mice with rabbit polyclonal antiidiotypic antibodies (anti-Id, Ab2) raised against antibody D1.3 (Ab1) specific for the antigen hen egg lysozyme. AF14 and AF52 react with an ‘‘internal image’’ monoclonal mouse anti-Id antibody E5.2 (Ab2), previously raised against D1.3, wit...

According to recent experimental data at GSI, the rate of the number of daughter ions Ce, produced by the nuclear K–shell electron capture (EC) decay of the H–like ion Pr, is modulated in time with a period Td = 7.06(8) sec and an amplitude aEC = 0.18(3). We show that this phenomenon can be explained by neutrino– flavour mixing and derive a value for the quadratic mass difference ∆m21 = m 2 2 −...

We analyze the impact of the data on long baseline νμ disappearance from the K2K experiment and reactor ν̄e disappearance from the KamLAND experiment on the determination of the leptonic three-generation mixing parameters. Performing an up-to-date global analysis of solar, atmospheric, reactor and long baseline neutrino data in the context of three-neutrino oscillations, we determine the present...

This study estimates the multi-component efficiency of banks under financial holding companies, including profitability and marketability efficiencies, by utilizing a RAM (Range-adjusted measure) variation model. The analysis process uses the three-dimensional BCG (Boston Consulting Group) matrix created by this study. We find that although semi-publicly-owned banks under financial holding comp...
