Definition 1. (directly density-reachable): A point p is directly density-reachable from a point q wrt. Eps, MinPts if 1. p ∈ NEps(q) and 2. |NEps(q)| ≥MinPts NEps(q) represents the Eps-neighborhood of the point q which includes all points whose distance to the point q is less than or equal to Eps. From the statement (2), it can be understood that there is a cluster if and only if there is a co...

This paper evaluates a comprehensive list of metrics proposed for detecting earnings management in a setting where managers manipulate earnings to round up reported EPS. I find that deferred tax expense is able to detect earnings management in the rounding-up setting while discretionary accruals models are not. Further analysis provides evidence that firms manipulate bad debt expense for the pu...

QCD corrections to the gluino induced contribution to b → sγ are shown to be important in order to extract reliable bounds on the off-diagonal elements of the squark mass matrices. Talk presented by Tobias Hurth at the International Euroconference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP99), 15-21 July 1999, Tampere, Finland. Indirect Search for Supersymmetry

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...

The present study demonstrates the potential of nutrient-alginate encapsulation of shoot tips of sunflower, Helianthus annuus (hyb. Azargol) for synthetic seed technology, which could be useful in germplasm distribution and exchange. Shoot tips from in vitro shoot cultures derived from mature seed explants were encapsulated in 3% sodium alginate and 100 mM CaCl2. 2H...

Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) are increasingly being recognized as complementary to the banking system and perform a diversified range of functions through offering various financial services to individual, corporate and institutional clients. Nevertheless, the cost of funds of NBFIs is significantly higher than the banks as banks are the prime sources of funds for them. On the other ...

We review the implications of the gamma-ray emission detected by COMPTEL in Orion, assuming that it is due to energetic particle (EP) interactions within the Orion clouds. We show that a series of independent arguments converge toward a model in which the EPs originate from the Orion-Eridanus bubble, located in front of the molecular cloud complex. We investigate in detail the question of energ...
