In this paper, we examine the role of political connections by analyzing the short-and long-term performance of Chinese state owned enterprise (SOE) acquirers relative to private owned enterprise (POE) from 1994 to 2008. The empirical result shows that 1) SOE acquirers outperform the POE acquirer both in terms of long-run stock and operating performance; 2) announcement effect of POE acquirer t...

This study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory responses and mechanisms of Siegesbeckia orientalis ethanol extract (SOE). In cell culture experiments, RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with SOE and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for inflammatory mediators assay. In animal experiments, mice were tube-fed with SOE for 1 week, and s.c. injected with λ-carrageenan or i.p. injected with...

BACKGROUND Splicing by overlap extension (SOE) PCR is used to create mutation in the coding sequence of an enzyme in order to study the role of specific residues in protein's structure and function. OBJECTIVES We introduced a nested-SOE-PCR (N -SOE-PCR) in order to increase the specificity and generating mutations in a gene by SOE-PCR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genomic DNA from Bacillus thermoc...

The theory of Service Oriented Environment (SOE) emerges with advanced connectivity of the Internet technologies, openness of business environment and prosperousness of business activities. Service, as a critical object impenetrating every corner of SOE, is a hot research topic in many research domains. Software Engineering (SE), as a subject in engineering field, its researchers pay more atten...

In February 1995, sequence-of-events (SOE)-driven automation technology was demonstrated for a Voyager telemetry downlink track at DSS 13. This demonstration entailed automated generation of an operations procedure (in the form of a temporal dependency network) from project SOE information using artificial intelligence planning technology and automated execution of the temporal dependency netwo...

CONTEXT Sensory challenges are common among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventions targeting sensory challenges in ASD. DATA SOURCES Databases, including Medline and PsycINFO. STUDY SELECTION Two investigators independently screened studies against predetermined criteria. DATA EXTRACTION One investigator extracte...

Service Oriented Enterprise (SOE) has brought up requirement for performance measurement of the novel business model in its dynamic and flexible business environment. To solve the problem, conception of SOE is discussed from business perspective firstly, and an operation architecture of SOE is proposed and analyzed. The Service Oriented Economic Value Added (SO-EVA) performance measurement mode...

A method for automatic generation of syntax-oriented editors (SOE) for high level programming languages is presented. It is based on a special template definition metalanguage. The SOE functional environment including the operations with source files and internal representation of the programs in form of abstract syntax tree was implemented as an independent modular structure. As a result of ta...
