such as profitability, Tobin’s Q and firm size? D) Whether the performance of board size depend on other characteristics that determine board size. E) Why UK board plays less monitoring roles? Q3. Q3Theory: author have not discussed any particular theory which is a drawback of this article. But discussed something which somehow related corporate governance, boar and structure of board. The primary duty of the boards of director are monitoring and advising. Author discussed about the advantages and

CHAPTER FOUR: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY In Chapter 4 will be described the methodology which was used. In this chapter, we will explain the reasons for choosing this methodology and give more details about this study. We will explain and present the methods that help us in this project. An overview of the method that was used to collect the data will be given. Afterwards, the statistical concepts will be explained thoroughly. 4.1 Data Collection This was a multicentre, prospective longitudinal

Abstract: In the reference paper, an effective and economical approach for extracting depth information and recovering sharp image is provided. Mainly, a new deconvolution method, “sparse prior” provides more accurate deconvolution results and improves depth discrimination; so, both image information and depth information can be recovered from the modified photograph taken by the camera using coded aperture. In my paper, two optimizations for the deconvolution will be provided by using regular iterative

Breeding value of the individual estimated on the basis of the performance of the progeny is called Progeny Testing. If the heritability (h2) of the trait is high and the animal is able to express the trait by itself then individual selection is the best method. But in case of many traits it so happens that the trait is expressed in only one sex (i.e., sex limited traits), or when the trait is expressed after the death of the animal (i.e., slaughter traits), then the breeding value (B.V.) of the

Basic Theory In the previous chapter, we introduce about the indoor positioning system techniques and the research directions. In this chapter we will describe the basic theory related with the navigation and pose estimation systems for example, the coordinate system, the dead-reckoning method, the characteristic of Wi-Fi radio signal propagation etc. For all of the basic ideas are very important thing to understanding the configuration of our research as follow; 2.1 The Local Coordinate system

Relationship between Burnout and Work Engagement A significant negative relationship with Emotional Exhaustion was found for engagement (r= -0.35, p< 0.01) based on the above results. From the results, academics who reported a lesser degree of engagement in their work are the ones who are more emotionally exhausted. Here, burnout shows a moderate inverse relationship with engagement, in that the higher degree of burnout reported the lesser the engagement. This result supported the first hypothesis

Forecasting Models: Associative and Time Series Forecasting involves using past data to generate a number, set of numbers, or scenario that corresponds to a future occurrence. It is absolutely essential to short-range and long-range planning. Time Series and Associative models are both quantitative forecast techniques are more objective than qualitative techniques such as the Delphi Technique and market research. Time Series Models Based on the assumption that history will repeat itself,

indirectly determined through computational methods from other measurement quantities, in particular the time course data of metabolite concentrations. However, as biological models are often multi-modal it is not uncommon for traditional parameter estimation methods to become stuck in local optima [3]. In addition, traditional methods tend to perform badly in the presence of high measurement noise. Furthermore most of these methods do not consider any form of model

We used multilevel modeling (MLM; Hox, 2002; Raudenbush & Byrk, 2002) to evaluate the efficacy of feedback. MLM was used due to the nested data structure (i.e., clients nested within therapists). Given this, the assumption of independent observations is not met which can result in increase of Type I error rates; therefore, traditional analytical strategies such as analysis of variance are not appropriate. Specifically, MLM permits us to control for the variance effects from therapists to evaluate
