by Gary Whalen Many states have chosen to legally restrict intrastate branching by banks to some degree. In a large proportion of such states, banks are able to circumvent the prohibition on statewide branching because they are permitted to adopt a multibank holding company (MBHC) form and to acquire affiliate banks throughout the state. However, because subsidiary banks in a MBHC continue to b...

Various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. However, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. In this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (GA) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...

In order to study the impact of drought stress and planting date on safflower yield and yield components, an experiment was performed in Tabriz region in 2011. The experiment was carried out as split-split plot based on randomized complete block design. The main factor which was applied as split plot includes drought stress  with three levels:  (S1) 80 ± 3 mm evaporation from basin level of cla...

Production coordination is a common phenomenon in supply chains. Unlike the existing literature, we examine the production coordination problem from the perspective of asymmetric information: how a manufacturer (leading firm) coordinates the relationships with its subsidiary firm(s) and, subsequently, how market returns influence the leading firm's expected utilities, agency cost and the subsid...

This paper examines subsidiary initiatives, which are entrepreneurial activities carried out by foreign owned subsidiaries in multinational corporations; and the forces that resist them that we refer to as the ‘corporate immune system’. The study is based on case study analyses of 44 initiatives, both successes and failures, undertaken by Canadian subsidiary managers. The key finding is that su...
