Value Relevance of Intellectual Capital on the Market Value Companies. The purpose of this study was to test the direct and moderation relationship between intellectual capital and components with market value. This study analyzed secondary data available at the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2008-2012, using multiple linier regression analysis techniques and moderation. Four factors are used to reduce bias control models of the Leverage (DEBT), Size, R&D expenditure, and Advertising expenditure. The result is intellectual capital and its components have the relevant value with market value. The presence of R&D expenditure increase its market value. Interaction human capital and structural capital provides relevant value to market value, but negatively.

Daily High-Resolution-Blended Analyses for Sea Surface Temperature

Two new high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analysis products have been developed using optimum interpolation (OI). The analyses have a spatial grid resolution of 0.25° and a temporal resolution of 1 day. One product uses the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) infrared satellite SST data. The other uses AVHRR and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) on the NASA Earth Observing System satellite SST data. Both products also use in situ data from ships and buoys and include a large-scale adjustment of satellite biases with respect to the in situ data. Because of AMSR’s near-all-weather coverage, there is an increase in OI signal variance when AMSR is added to AVHRR. Thus, two products are needed to avoid an analysis variance jump when AMSR became available in June 2002. For both products, the results show improved spatial and temporal resolution compared to previous weekly 1° OI analyses. The AVHRR-only product uses Pathfinder AVHRR data (currently available from January 1985 to December 2005) and operational AVHRR data for 2006 onward. Pathfinder AVHRR was chosen over operational AVHRR, when available, because Pathfinder agrees better with the in situ data. The AMSR– AVHRR product begins with the start of AMSR data in June 2002. In this product, the primary AVHRR contribution is in regions near land where AMSR is not available. However, in cloud-free regions, use of both infrared and microwave instruments can reduce systematic biases because their error characteristics are independent.
Innovation and Competitive Pressure

I analyse the effects of competition on R&D effort (in a non-tournament context) and obtain robust results that hold for a variety of market structures, including markets with and without barriers to entry and markets characterized by either price or quantity competition. The approach encompasses models of direct investment to reduce costs as well as models where cost reduction arises because the agency problem between managers and owners in an asymmetric information context (X-inefficiency) is better resolved. It is found that increasing the number of firms tends to reduce R&D effort, whereas increasing the degree of product substitutability, with or without free entry, increases R&D effort – provided that the total market for varieties does not shrink. Increasing the total market size increases both R&D effort and (weakly) the number of varieties.
Can electron distribution functions be derived through the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect?

Aims. Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (hereafter SZ) effect distortion of the cosmic microwave background provide methods to derive the gas pressure and temperature of galaxy clusters. Here we study the ability of SZ effect observations to derive the electron distribution function (DF) in massive galaxy clusters. Methods. Our calculations of the SZ effect include relativistic corrections considered within the framework of the Wright formalism and use a decomposition technique of electron DFs into Fourier series. Using multi-frequency measurements of the SZ effect, we find the solution of a linear system of equations that is used to derive the Fourier coefficients; we further analyze different frequency samples to decrease uncertainties in Fourier coefficient estimations. Results. We propose a method to derive DFs of electrons using SZ multi-frequency observations of massive galaxy clusters. We found that the best frequency sample to derive an electron DF includes high frequencies nu = 375, 600, 700, 857 GHz. We show that it is possible to distinguish a Juttner DF from a Maxwell-Bolzman DF as well as from a Juttner DF with the second electron population by means of SZ observations for the best frequency sample if the precision of SZ intensity measurements is less than 0.1%. We demonstrate by means of 3D hydrodynamic numerical simulations of a hot merging galaxy cluster that the morphologies of SZ intensity maps are different for frequencies nu = 375, 600, 700, 857 GHz. We stress that measurements of SZ intensities at these frequencies are a promising tool for studying electron distribution functions in galaxy clusters.
The Ongoing Seismic Sequence at the Pollino Mountains, Italy

A sequence of thousands of small to moderate earthquakes has been occurring since spring 2010 in the Pollino Mountains area, southern Italy (Fig. 1), where a seismic gap was previously hypothesized by paleoseismological evidence associated with the lack of major earthquakes in historical catalogs (Michetti et al. , 2000; Cinti et al. , 2002). Seismic activity is in progress at the time of writing of this paper (December 2012) after quite a disturbing long‐term acceleration of earthquake rate and strain release (Fig. 1b). The strongest earthquake ( M L 5.0 according to the Italian Seismological Instrumental and parametric Data‐basE [ISIDE], http://iside.rm.ingv.it; last accessed September 2013) was recorded on 25 October 2012 and produced damage in the epicentral area corresponding to a maximum intensity of 6 on the European Macroseismic Scale 1998 (EMS‐98) in the localities of Mormanno, Campotenese, and Piano Incoronata (Fig. 2; D’Amico and Scarfi, 2012). Because of this earthquake, more than a thousand people were evacuated from their homes and emergency actions have been carried out by the competent institutions. This earthquake with its effects, and the increasing number and intensity of events felt by the population in the preceding months, have further encouraged the attention and efforts of civil defense operators and scientific researchers toward this peculiar seismic crisis occurring in a presumed seismic‐gap area. It should also be remarked that the Pollino area, lying at the northern edge of the Calabrian subduction zone (Fig. 1a), represents a highly deformed, very intricate sector of great geodynamic interest and still not fully understood (see, e.g., Bonini et al. , 2011; Frepoli et al. , 2011; Spina et al. , 2011; Neri et al. , 2012). The present study, which focuses on the ongoing Pollino …
Improved understanding and satisfaction with a modified informed consent document: a randomized study

We assessed the impact of an informed consent process designed to be understood by persons with low health literacy skills. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial with ethnically and racially diverse male veterans. Participants were randomly assigned to receive and read the standard consent document for the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial prostate cancer prevention trial or a culturally tailored, easy-to-read consent document. Telephone interviews were conducted 2 weeks following consent, assessing comprehension, satisfaction, consent anxiety, state anxiety, decisional conflict, and cultural sensitivity. Results: Of 162 male veterans completing the initial telephone interview, 49.7% were African American, 44.1% were Caucasian, and 6.2% were Hispanic. The mean comprehension score for the consent document and process was significantly increased in the intervention arm participants (17.08) versus the standard consent arm (15.06, P , 0.0001). The satisfaction score with the consent information was higher in participants in the intervention arm (3.67 vs 3.42, P = 0.0009), while the consent anxiety score was reduced (1.31 vs 1.56, P = 0.0067). Conclusion: Modifications in the reading level, format, appearance, interactivity, and cultural sensitivity of an informed consent document in the cancer prevention setting significantly improved comprehension of and satisfaction with the consent document, while decreasing consent anxiety.
The EU Conciliation Committee One or Several Principals ?

Since the introduction of the co-decision legislative procedure, the EU has had the possibility to resort to a Conciliation Committee made up of representatives from the European Parliament and the Council to reconcile differences between the two bodies. This article assesses whether the members of this committee have an incentive to take advantage of their ability to present take-it-or-leave-it offers to their parent bodies by examining whether they are representative of their full body and/or whether they represent other interests inside or outside their legislative body. It concludes that the EU Conciliation Committee is generally representative of its parent bodies and that the option to go to conciliation is not a risky tool for them to reach agreement. 8 7 European Union Politics DOI: 10.1177/1465116507085958 Volume 9 (1): 87–113
Classification and Compensation of DC Offset Error and Scale Error in Resolver Signals

This study proposes a classification and compensation algorithm of two non-ideal output signals of a resolver to reduce position errors. Practically, a resolver generates position errors because of amplitude imbalance and quadrature imperfection between the two output signals of the resolver. In this study, a digital signal processor system based on a resolver-to-digital converter is used to reconstruct the two output signals of the resolver. The two output signals, “sin” and “cos,” can be represented by a unit circle on the xy-plot. The classification and compensation of the errors can be obtained by using the radius and area of the circle made by the resolver signals. The method computes the integration of the areas made by the two resolver output signals to classify and compensate the error. This system cannot be applied during transient response given that the area integration during the transient state causes an error in the proposed method. The proposed method does not need any additional hardware. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Remotely sensed forest habitat structures improve regional species conservation

Recent studies show that light detection and ranging (LiDAR) derived habitat variables significantly increase the performance and accuracy of species distribution models (SDMs). In particular, the structure of complex habitats such as forest can be accurately parametrized by an area‐wide, LiDAR‐based vegetation profile. However, evidence of specific applications of such models in real‐world conservation management still remains sparse. Here, we developed a resource selection SDM for hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia L.) in a Swiss nature park with the aim to map habitat suitability and to inform the park management about habitat improvement measures. We used remote sensing, particularly LiDAR to derive ecologically relevant forest vegetation characteristics at the local scale and used them as predictors in an ensemble SDM approach. The predicted habitat suitability was mainly affected by local, fine grained vegetation structure. Average vegetation height, shrub density and canopy height variation contributed most to the habitat quality for hazel grouse. This clearly shows how LiDAR provides the means to develop ecologically interpretable predictor variables of forest habitat structure and that these predictors can be used to reliably map local‐scale habitat quality, indicated by high model performance scores (median AUC of 0.918). This improves spatial conservation planning, and at the same time, provides meaningful information to derive habitat improvement measures that can be implemented in the field by foresters. Hazel grouse occurrence in the park is restricted to a few highly suitable, disjunct habitat patches. Therefore, conservation management should increase the connectivity of suitable habitat with the aim to stimulate an increase and better exchange of individuals in the regional hazel grouse population. Habitat improvements can be achieved by forestry measures that regularly integrate early successional forest stages into production forests. They should contain stands with a shrub density of around 30% as well as heterogeneous stands in terms of vegetation height.
On fractional probabilistic mean value theorems, fractional counting processes and related results

The thesis collects the outcomes of the author’s research carried out in the research group Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics at the Department of Mathematics, University of Salerno, during the doctoral programme “Mathematics, Physics and Applications”. The results are at the interface between Fractional Calculus and Probability Theory. While research in probability and applied fields is now well established and enthusiastically supported, the subject of fractional calculus, i.e. the study of an extension of derivatives and integrals to any arbitrary real or complex order, has achieved widespread popularity only during the past four decades or so, because of its applications in several fields of science, engineering and finance. Moreover, the application of the fractional paradigm to probability theory has been carefully but partially explored over the years, especially from the point of view of stochastic processes. The aim of the thesis is to prove some new theorems at the interface between Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory, and to study rigorously certain new stochastic processes and statistical models constructed on top of some well-known classical results and then generalized by means of fractional calculus.
Impacts of pure shocks in the BHR71 bipolar outflow

During the formation of a star, material is ejected along powerful jets that impact the ambient material. This outflow regulates star formation by e.g. inducing turbulence and heating the surrounding gas. Understanding the associated shocks is therefore essential to the study of star formation. We present comparisons of shock models with CO, H2, and SiO observations in a 'pure' shock position in the BHR71 bipolar outflow. These comparisons provide an insight into the shock and pre-shock characteristics, and allow us to understand the energetic and chemical feedback of star formation on Galactic scales. New CO (Jup = 16, 11, 7, 6, 4, 3) observations from the shocked regions with the SOFIA and APEX telescopes are presented and combined with earlier H2 and SiO data (from the Spitzer and APEX telescopes). The integrated intensities are compared to a grid of models that were obtained from a magneto-hydrodynamical shock code which calculates the dynamical and chemical structure of these regions combined with a radiative transfer module based on the 'large velocity gradient' approximation. The CO emission leads us to update the conclusions of our previous shock analysis: pre-shock densities of 1e4 cm-3 and shock velocities around 20-25 km s-1 are still constrained, but older ages are inferred ( 4000 years). We evaluate the contribution of shocks to the excitation of CO around forming stars. The SiO observations are compatible with a scenario where less than 4% of the pre-shock SiO belongs to the grain mantles. We infer outflow parameters: a mass of 1.8x1e-2 Msun was measured in our beam, in which a momentum of 0.4 Msun km s-1 is dissipated, for an energy of 4.2x1e43erg. We analyse the energetics of the outflow species by species. Comparing our results with previous studies highlights their dependence on the method: H2 observations only are not sufficient to evaluate the mass of outflows.
Do Parental Interpersonal Power and Prestige Moderate the Relationship Between Parental Acceptance and Psychological Adjustment in U.K. Students?

This study investigated the effects of perceived maternal and paternal acceptance, and parental power and prestige on university students’ psychological adjustment. The sample consisted of 315 students (17% males) ages 18 through 49 years (M = 23.35) from the United Kingdom. Measures used were the adult versions of Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire for mothers and fathers, the adult version of the Parental Power–Prestige Questionnaire, and the adult version of the Personality Assessment Questionnaire. Results showed significant positive correlations between perceived parental acceptance and students’ psychological adjustment, and between perceived maternal acceptance and power and prestige. Significant negative correlations were found between perceived paternal acceptance and power and prestige, and between perceived parental prestige and psychological adjustment as well as between a composite measure of power–prestige and students’ psychological adjustment. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that both perceived maternal and paternal acceptance made significant and unique contributions to students’ (both men’s and women’s) psychological adjustment. In addition, a composite measure of power–prestige significantly moderated the relationship between perceived maternal (but not paternal) acceptance and students’ psychological adjustment.
Modeling the Dynamics of Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate Based on Single-Factor Short Rate Processes

Using the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate data of overnight, 1 week, 2 week and 1 month, this paper provides a comparative analysis of some popular one-factor short rate models, including the Merton model, the geometric Brownian model, the Vasicek model, the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model, and the mean-reversion jump-diffusion model. The parameter estimation and the model selection of these single-factor short interest rate models are investigated. We document that the most successful model in capturing the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate is the mean-reversion jump-diffusion model.
NO‐ARBITRAGE IN A NUMÉRAIRE‐INDEPENDENT MODELING FRAMEWORK

The classic approach to modeling financial markets consists of four steps. First, one fixes a currency unit. Second, one describes in that unit the evolution of financial assets by a stochastic process. Third, one chooses in that unit a numéraire, usually the price process of a positive asset. Fourth, one divides the original price process by the numéraire and considers the class of admissible strategies for trading. This approach has one fundamental drawback: Almost all concepts, definitions, and results, including no‐arbitrage conditions like NA, NFLVR, and NUPBR depend by their very definition, at least formally, on initial choices of a currency unit and a numéraire. In this paper, we develop a new framework for modeling financial markets, which is not based on ex‐ante choices of a currency unit and a numéraire. In particular, we introduce a “numéraire‐independent” notion of no‐arbitrage and derive its dual characterization. This yields a numéraire‐independent version of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing (FTAP). We also explain how the classic approach and other recent approaches to modeling financial markets and studying no‐arbitrage can be embedded in our framework.
Diversity and Change in the Commercial Use of Genetic Resources: Implications for Access and Benefit Sharing Policy

A wide range of sectors are engaged in the research and development of commercial products from genetic resources. They include the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, seed, crop protection, horticulture, cosmetic and personal care, fragrance and flavor, botanicals, and food and beverage industries. Each sector is part of a unique market, undertakes research and development in distinct ways, and uses genetic resources and demands access to these resources very differently. Despite a surge of interest in bioprospecting arrangements in the 1990s, there have been surprisingly few such studies in the last decade, and understanding of these activities remains limited at the very time an international agreement on access to genetic resources and benefit sharing (the so-called Nagoya Protocol) has been finally adopted by the United Nations. This paper results from a study undertaken to fill gaps in current understanding of ABS partnerships, collaborations and contractual agreements in the range of sectors using genetic resources. Through multiple stakeholder interviews, detailed case study analyses, and review of contracts and agreements, the study examined the nature of these relationships, and whether and how they achieve the objectives of sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing. A central finding, discussed in this paper, is that the activities that fall under ‘bioprospecting’ and ‘ABS’ are extremely diverse; there are large differences both within and across sectors in the ways genetic resources are used and benefits are shared. At the same time, the constant and rapid pace of scientific and technological advances, and less dramatic but still significant market and legal changes, mean that any ABS policy framework must be carefully developed to reflect and adapt to changing realities. Sustainable use, conservation and equity are complex goals in any scenario, but in the ABS policy arena achieving these goals is far more challenging given the diverse and changing nature of the activities to be regulated.
