We present several fast, practical linear-complexity scheduling algorithms that enable provision of various quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees in an input-queued switch with no speedup. Speciically, our algorithms provide per-virtual-circuit transmission rate and cell delay guarantees using a credit-based bandwidth reservation scheme. The novelties of our algorithms derive from judicious choic...

the main goal of this paper is determining the link between information asymmetry among equity investors and conservatism in financial reporting. becouse we argu that information asymmetry between equeity investors generates accounting conservatism in financial statements. conservatism reduces the manager's incentives and ability to manipulate accounting numbers and so reduces agency costs...

In this paper, we study the performance of high-speed packet switches, where the switch fabric operates at a slightly higher speed than the links, i.e., a speeded-up switch. Such structures are by no means new and there are two well studied architectures in the literature for such packet switches: pure input queueing (no speedup) and pure output queueing (speedup of N , the number of links), wi...

A rare chromosome abnormality consisting of interstitial deletion 3q was found in a malformed girl. Chromosome analysis using G and Q banding showed deletion of bands 3q12----3q21: 46,XX,del(3)(pter----q12::q21----qter). The clinical features of the proband included severe psychomotor retardation, craniofacial asymmetry, hypertelorism, epicanthus, high arched palate, progressive scoliosis, mult...

Information asymmetry is a negative event that gives manager incentives to use his private information to attempt transferring wealth from investors by overstating financial performance and consequently, stock prices during his tenure at the firm. The manipulations generate agency costs. Conservative reporting is a mechanism that reduces the managers’ ability to manipulate and overstate financi...
