SYNOPSIS Regulators have long expressed concerns about auditor changes and the detrimental impact of opinion shopping on audit market. Whereas prior studies examined how single-instance switching impacts outcomes, we examine whether frequent outcomes. We find that more is associated with lower quality, but this effect mitigated in presence higher internal external monitoring. also frequently co...

How is shape represented during spatial tasks such as mental rotation? This research investigated the format of mental representations of 3-D shapes during mental rotation. Specifically, we tested the extent to which visual information, such as color, is represented during mental rotation using methods ranging from reaction time studies, verbal protocol analysis, and eyetracking. Another set of...

We show how column sort [LEIG85] and rotate sort [MARB88] can be implemented on the different reconfigurable mesh with buses (RMB) architectures that have been proposed in the literature. On all of these proposed RMB architectures, we are able to sort n numbers on an n × n configuration in O(1) time. For the PARBUS RMB architecture [WANG90ab], our column sort and rotate sort implementations are...

Are objects that are more difficult to physically manipulate also more difficult to mentally manipulate? In our study, participants interacted with wooden objects modeled after the figures from Shepard and Metzler's (1971) classic mental rotation experiment. One pair of objects was easy to physically rotate while another pair was difficult. They then completed a standard mental rotation task on...

Geographical AODV (GeoAODV) Rotate is a variation of a regular GeoAODV scheme that aims to reduce the control message overhead introduced by ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol. GeoAODV reduces the route discovery overhead by searching only a portion of the network that is likely to contain the desired node. The search area is computed based on the nodes’ location coordinat...
