Study on Dividend Policy: Antecedent and its Impact on Share Price

This research aims to test dividend signaling theory in an Indonesian capital market. Signaling theory states that dividend policy has information content that can influence to share price. Examination of theory of signaling is related to research phenomena in other countries indicating that by percentage there is degradation of company which is pay dividend and there even exist mentioning this as phenomenon of disappearing dividend. Examination of theory of signaling is also related to the research result showing the existence or inexistence of the influence of dividend policy to share price. Besides, in this research is also conducted by examination of agency theory. This research of agency theory tests the influence of: (1) Free Cash Flow to share price, (2) Structure of Ownership to share price, and (3) Structure of ownership to dividend policy. This research also tests life cycle theory, seen influence of cycle of company life to dividend policy. Companies which enter in growth phase tend not to pay a lot of dividend, compared to company at matured step. This research use quantitative approach by using method of path analysis. This research use samples in the form of company allocating dividend for period 1995-2005 which listed on PT Jakarta Stock Exchange. Final samples which are utilized in this research are equal to 1052 year observation. This research also tests sensitivity, widened time of even from 1 day at especial model, becoming 5 and 10 day. Besides test of sensitivity is also conducted changed approach of market model become mean adjusted model in determining expected return. Research finding indicates that signaling theory still relevant in influencing movement of share price. Besides, research finding also supports agency theory told by Jensen in seeing influence of free cash flow to share price. For the influence of structure of ownership to share price, the result supports entrenchment argument. While influence of structure of ownership to dividend policy found by result which do not support agency theory. Life Cycle theory in this research is obtained by result which is research confirmation before all, where there are influence of cycle step of company life to dividend policy.
Evapotranspiration Trend and Its Relationship with Precipitation over the Loess Plateau during the Last Three Decades

There have been few studies conducted on the changes in actual ET over the Loess Plateau, due to the lack of reliable ET data. Based on ET data simulated by the Community Land Model, the present study analyzed the changes in ET over the Loess Plateau. The results showed the domain-average ET to have decreased in the past 31 years, at a rate of 0.78 mm year−1. ET fluctuated much more strongly in the 1990s than in the 1980s and 2000s, and, apart from in autumn, ET decreased in all seasons. In particular, ET in summer comprised about half of the annual ET trend and had the sharpest trend, dominating the interannual decline. ET also decreased more sharply in the semiarid than semihumid regions. The declining trend of ET was attributed to declining precipitation and air humidity. Locally, the ET trend was closely related to local mean annual precipitation: in areas with precipitation less than 400 mm, ET showed a decreasing trend; in areas with precipitation larger than 600 mm, ET showed an increasing trend; and in areas with precipitation in the range of 400–600 mm could be classified as a transitional zone.
The Intersections of Curriculum Development: Music, ICT and Australian Music Education.

Recently, in Australia both the National Review of School Music Education and The Australian Curriculum identify the importance of technology in school music education. However, the understanding of music technology, as demonstrated by state and territory curricular guidelines, is limited with technology mostly recognised as a tool. In comparison, contemporary Australian information and computer technology (ICT) curricula appear to have a very different understanding of how technology can enhance learning in the arts, specifically music. Through a comparison of the Australian States and Territories Years 7-10 curricular guidelines this article compares understandings in the two domains - ICT and the arts (particularly music). The different perspectives on the use of technology in music education can be seen as either using technology as a tool to support instruction in drill-like programs or as a platform for collaborative and creative learning that resonates with students in Australian music classrooms.
Riesz Sequences and Frames of Exponentials associated with non-full rank lattices.

Let Ω ⊂ R be a measurable set of finite positive measure (not necessarily bounded). Let (cj) k j=1 be a given collection of vectors in R, and let H be the dual lattice of a full rank lattice K ⊂ R. For λ ∈ R, let eλ denote the exponential eλ(x) := e 2πi〈λ,x〉, x ∈ R. It is known that, the collection E(Λ) := {eλ : λ ∈ Λ}, where Λ = {(cj + h) ∈ R : h ∈ H, j ∈ {1, . , k}}, forms Riesz basis on Ω ⊂ R if the domain Ω is a k-tile domain and if, in addition, it satisfies an extra arithmetic property, called the admissibility condition. The theory of shift invariant spaces generated by the full rank lattice K plays an important role to analyze and solve the above problem. The main goal of this thesis is to study a variant of the problem above where the dual lattice H is replaced by a non-full rank lattice in R. In particular, given an at most countable index set J and a collection of vectors (cj)j∈J ⊂ R, we examine the existence of Riesz sequences, frames and Riesz bases of the form E(Λ) := {eλ : λ ∈ Λ}, where Λ = {(cj +h) ∈ R : h ∈ H, j ∈ J}, on Ω ⊂ R as above, and H, a non-full rank lattice in R. Our results are obtained using an extention of the theory of shift invariant subspaces of L(R), where the shifts are now generated by a non-full rank lattice in R.
Restoring endodontically treated teeth with all-ceramic endo-crowns: Case report

The all-ceramic endocrowns are one piece restoration used in the therapy of endodontically treated teeth, usually, with a decreased vertical dimension of the tooth crown. The aim of this paper is to describe two techniques of the making of endocrowns using case studies and to present the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques by way of their comparison. Chair-side production with the Cerec CAD-CAM system and pressing of the ceramic with the Empres II system was used for the production of the endocrowns. Cerec CAD-CAM and Empres II systems yielded equally good results in the production of the endocrowns, in terms of their functionality, retention, aesthetic and duration. The basic difference between them is the length of the endocrown production procedure as the Cerec CAD-CAM system makes it possible to apply the treatment during a single visit using a wide range of materials….
SMOS satellite L‐band radiometer: A new capability for ocean surface remote sensing in hurricanes

The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission currently provides multiangular L-band (1.4 GHz) brightness temperature images of the Earth. Because upwelling radiation at 1.4 GHz is significantly less affected by rain and atmospheric effects than at higher microwave frequencies, these new SMOS measurements offer unique opportunities to complement existing ocean satellite high wind observations that are often contaminated by heavy rain and clouds. To illustrate this new capability, we present SMOS data over hurricane Igor, a tropical storm that developed to a Saffir-Simpson category 4 hurricane from 11 to 19 September 2010. Thanks to its large spatial swath and frequent revisit time, SMOS observations intercepted the hurricane 9 times during this period. Without correcting for rain effects, L-band wind-induced ocean surface brightness temperatures (TB) were co-located and compared to H*Wind analysis. We find the L-band ocean emissivity dependence with wind speed appears less sensitive to roughness and foam changes than at the higher C-band microwave frequencies. The first Stokes parameter on a ∼50 km spatial scale nevertheless increases quasi-linearly with increasing surface wind speed at a rate of 0.3 K/m s−1 and 0.7 K/m s−1 below and above the hurricane-force wind speed threshold (∼32 m s−1), respectively. Surface wind speeds estimated from SMOS brightness temperature images agree well with the observed and modeled surface wind speed features. In particular, the evolution of the maximum surface wind speed and the radii of 34, 50 and 64 knots surface wind speeds are consistent with GFDL hurricane model solutions and H*Wind analyses. The SMOS sensor is thus closer to a true all-weather satellite ocean wind sensor with the capability to provide quantitative and complementary surface wind information of interest for operational Hurricane intensity forecasts.
The neurotic Christian: implications for Christian ministry in Nigeria

Introduction Neurosis was the term first used to classify psychological disorders in which anxiety is the underlying problem but the person is still in touch with reality. On the basis of his experiences with patients, Freud postulated that emotional disorders, which he called neuroses, arise from an interaction between two categories of experiences: predisposing and precipitating experiences (Gray, 2002). For Freud predisposing experiences typically occur in the first 5 to 6 years of life and relate to infantile sexual wishes and conflicts; and precipitating experiences occur later and most immediately bring on the emotional breakdown. Precipitating experiences activate repressed memories and wishes that are connected with one or more predisposing experiences, stirring up the repressed material so that it threatens to enter consciousness. To defend against those memories and wishes, the mind responds in ways that lead to psychological disorder. Thus, neuroses, though obsolete psychodynamic term, is used to describe psychological disorder thought to result from unconscious conflicts and the anxiety they cause (Barlow and Durand, 2005).
Comparative efficacy of MS-222 and benzocaine as anaesthetics under simulated transport conditions of a tropical ornamental fish Puntius filamentosus (Valenciennes)

There is a growing commercial interest in the fish, Puntius filamentosus, in the ornamental fish trade in India and elsewhere. The trade is, however, hampered by severe mortalities during transport of the fish owing to insufficient data available on the use of anaesthetics. To resolve this problem, we evaluated the efficacy of two anaesthetics, MS-222 and benzocaine, in sedating P. filamentosus in simulated transportation experiments and used stress response parameters such as cortisol and blood glucose levels to perform assessments. We observed that MS-222 at 40 mg L−1 and benzocaine at 20 mg L−1 were sufficient to induce sedation for 48 h. Above these concentrations, both the anaesthetics adversely affected the fish and resulted in mortalities. Both anaesthetics significantly lowered the blood cortisol and glucose levels compared with the unsedated controls. Importantly, the anaesthetics treatment significantly lowered the post-transport mortality in the fish. The results of the study show that MS-222 and benzocaine could be used as sedatives to alleviate transport-related stress in P. filamentosus to improve their post-transport survival and hence reduce economic loss.
Luminescence properties and defects in GaN nanocolumns grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Wurtzite GaN nanocolumns are reproducibly grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) and c-sapphire substrates. The nanocolumns density and diameter (600\char21{}1500 \AA{}) are effectively controlled by means of the III/V ratio. The nanocolumns are fully relaxed from lattice and thermal strain, having a very good crystal quality characterized by strong and narrow (2 meV) low-temperature photoluminescence excitonic lines at 3.472\char21{}3.478 eV. In addition, the spectra reveal a doublet at 3.452\char21{}3.458 eV and a broad line centered at 3.41 eV. This broad emission shows a sample-dependent spectral energy dispersion, from 3.40 to 3.42 eV, explained as due to the effect of strain and/or electric fields associated with extended structural defects located at the nanocolumns bottom interface. From cathodoluminescence data, it is concluded that the doublet emission lines originate at the nanocolumns volume, most probably related to ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{\mathrm{I}}$ defects, given the column growth mode (Ga balling).
Wrapper Fibres in Open-End Rotor-Spun Yarns: Yarn Properties and Wrapper Fibres

Wrapper fibres (WFs) and their formation mechanisms, as well as their effects on the pro perties of open-end rotor spun yarns, have been investigated. For this purpose, different yarn samples (100% PES) were produced under different operating conditions. The tight belts on the surface of the selected yarn samples were counted, and the mean number of wrapper fibres per unit length was evaluated. The effect of rotor diameter and rotor speed on the occurrence of tight belts has been examined systematically.
Confinement effects on the spatial extent of the reaction front in ultrathin chemically amplified photoresists

Sub-100 nm lithography poses strict requirements on photoresist material properties and processing conditions to achieve necessary critical dimension control of patterned structures. As resist thickness and feature linewidth decrease, fundamental materials properties of the confined resist polymer can deviate from bulk values and impact important processing parameters such as the postexposure bake (PEB) temperature. The effects of these confinement-induced deviations on image or linewidth spread have not been explored. In this work, we characterize the resist thickness dependence of the spatial extent of the reaction-diffusion process in a chemically amplified photoresist system under varying processing conditions. Bilayer samples are prepared with a lower layer of a protected polymer (p-tert-butoxycarboxystyrene) and a top layer of a de-protected polymer [poly(4-hydroxystyrene)] loaded with a photoacid generator. After flood exposure, PEB, and development, changes in the thickness of the protected polyme.
Long coherence times at 300 K for nitrogen-vacancy center spins in diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition

Electron-spin-echo experiments reveal phase-memory times as long as 58 μs at 300 K for nitrogen-vacancy centers in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) single crystals. The spins were optically polarized and optically detected. Two high-quality CVD samples were studied. From the current results, it is not clear whether these phase-memory times represent a fundamental limit or are limited by an external source of decoherence.
Liquid Film Thickness in Micro Tube Under Flow Boiling Condition

Slug flow is one of the representative flow regimes of flow boiling in micro tubes. It is well known that the thin liquid film formed between the tube wall and the vapor bubble plays an important role in micro scale heat transfer. In the previous study [1], liquid film thickness under adiabatic condition was investigated and an empirical correlation for the initial liquid film thickness based on capillary number, Reynolds number and Weber number was proposed. In the present study, the effects of wall superheat and bubble acceleration on the liquid film thickness are investigated. Under flow boiling condition, bubble velocity is not constant but accelerated, and it is necessary to consider this acceleration effect on the liquid film thickness, since it may affect the viscous, surface tension and inertia forces in the momentum equation. In addition, viscous boundary layer develops, and it may also affect the liquid film thickness. Besides, viscosity and surface tension coefficient are sensitive to temperature change. If wall superheat is high, it is crucial to consider the property change according to the temperature variation. In order to investigate these effects, laser focus displacement meter is used to measure the liquid film thickness. Ethanol, water and FC-40 are used as working fluids. Circular tubes with three different diameters, D = 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 mm, are used. It is observed that when the wall superheat is larger than 5°C, liquid film thickness becomes thinner than the adiabatic case due to the decrease of viscosity near the wall. The increase of liquid film thickness with capillary number is restricted by bubble acceleration. Finally, an empirical correlation is proposed for accelerated flows in terms of capillary number and Bond number based on bubble acceleration.Copyright © 2009 by ASME
Sloshing analysis of rectangular tanks with a submerged structure by using small-amplitude water wave theory

A new sloshing analysis method for rectangular tank systems with a submerged structure are proposed by using the velocity potential and the linear water wave theory. The velocity potential functions are obtained by decomposing the surface wave into a wall-induced wave, reflected and transmitted waves, and a scattered wave. A simplified method using a response spectrum for zero damping is also proposed. The results of the simplified method are in good agreement with those of the analytical method. The sloshing response of the fluid-structure system is found to be very sensitive to the characteristics of the ground motion and the configuration of the system. Under typical earthquakes, the submerged structure shows a tendency to decrease sloshing amplitude, hydrodynamic pressure, and base shear, while it shows a tendency to increase the overturning moment. For the ground excitation dominated by low-frequency contents, the sloshing response increases significantly and the contribution of the higher sloshing modes increases.

This time it’s different? Effects of the Eurovision Debate on young citizens and its consequence for EU democracy – evidence from a quasi-experiment in 24 countries

ABSTRACT For the very first time in EU history, the 2014 EP elections provided citizens with the opportunity to influence the nomination of the Commission President by casting a vote for the main Europarties’ ‘lead candidates’. By subjecting the position of the Commission President to an open political contest, many experts have formulated the expectation that heightened political competition would strengthen the weak electoral connection between EU citizens and EU legislators, which some consider a root cause for the EU’s lack of public support. In particular, this contest was on display in the so-called ‘Eurovision Debate’, a televised debate between the main contenders for the Commission President broadcasted live across Europe. Drawing on a quasi-experimental study conducted in 24 EU countries, we find that debate exposure led to increased cognitive and political involvement and EU support among young citizens. Unfortunately, the debate has only reached a very small audience.
Timber vs. fruit production: partitioning of moth diversity within a mosaic-like chestnut forest

In Calabria chestnut woodlands represent an important economic resource exploited since ancient times. The main types representing Calabrian chestnut are orchards for fruit production and coppices for several uses of wood. Taking in account that biodiversity conservation is one of the purposes of the forest management, we studied the diversity of moth communities related to different types 1388 S. Greco et al. of chestnut woodlands in the Catena Costiera mountains in Cosenza province, the area having the largest surface covered by chestnut in Calabria. Moth communities were sampled monthly from May to November 2015 using light trapping. Nine traps were located in different successional stages of chestnut forest which collected in total 8,164 individuals belonging to 328 species. Mature coppices inhabited the highest value of moth diversity and abundance, orchards for fruit production host moth communities similar to those of just harvested coppices, creating a permanent habitat for heliophilous and termophilic species in a forested landscape. According to our study, the mosaic-like forest landscape seems to promote the biodiversity, guarantying the contemporary presence of different habitats for moth with different ecological needs. Furthermore, coppices inhabit a diversity higher than expected.
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON SOME ORGANS OF OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS, TILAPIA ZILLII AND SYNODONTIS SCHALL FROM EL-SALAM CANAL, EGYPT

I the present study, the histological structures of the gills, liver, kidneys and gonads of Oreochromis niloticus, Tilapia zillii and Synodoniis schall from El-Salam canal were studied for a period extending from spring 2000 to winter 2001 (4 successive seasons). Several histopathological changes were observed in the gills, liver, kidneys and gonads of the studied fish during the four seasons. In the gills, proliferative changes in the epithelium of gill filaments and secondary lamellae, degenerative and necrotic changes in gill filaments, separation of the epithelium of the secondary lamellae from the lamellar supporting cells in gill filaments, intravascular haemolysis and dilation in the blood vessels of gill filaments, haemorrhage between gill filaments, edema in secondary lamellae and mucus accumulation between gill filaments were seen. In the liver, vacuoiar degeneration, focal areas of coagulative necrosis, focal areas of necrosis, destruction of hepatoportal blood vessels and haemorrhage between the hepatocytes were observed. Besides, intravascular haemolysis and dilation were seen in hepatic and hepatoportal blood vessels. Also, dilation and congestion were noticed in blood sinusoids. In the kidneys, the histopathological changes included vacuoiar degeneration in the epithelium of renal tubules, focal areas of necrosis between the renal tubules, depletion in the haemopoietic areas, haemolysis between the renal tubules and edema in Bowman's capsules. Moreover, intravascular haemolysis in renal blood vessels and over population of glomeruli were observed. 1UU Fatma Abd El-Moghney S. Mohamed In the testis, degenerative and necrotic changes in the cellular elements of seminiferous tubules, with inhibition of spermatogenesis (some seminiferous tubules appeared lucent or with a lesser number of sperms, indicating lack of active spermatogenesis), focal areas of necrosis and fibrous capsules around some seminiferous tubules were observedBesides, malformation and distortion of the architecture of some seminiferous tubules were seen. In the ovary, degenerative and necrotic changes (atresia) in the oocytes, proliferative changes in the granulosa of the oocytes, resulting sometimes in adhesion of the cellular coat of the oocytes, haemorrhage between the oocytes and intravascular haemolysis in some ovarian blood vessels were seen. Moreover, focal areas of necrosis, aggregations of haemosiderin between the oocytes and separation of the follicular layers from the oocytes were observed. These histopathological alterations showed marked seasonal variations, where, they were more severe during winter. The results indicated that Oreochromis niloticus is more sensitive to pollution than Tilapia zillii and Synodontis sckall
