INTRODUCTION Earnings management represents the most frequently researched topic within financial accounting in the last two decades. The use of earnings management and its almost cavalier acceptance by financial statement preparers and users during the 1990’s led to the significant corporate reporting debacles of the early 2000’s (e.g., Enron, WorldCom, HealthSouth, etc.) and ultimately to the...

Pericyclic reaction theory arose from ideas presented in 1965, based on orbital-energy correlation diagrams (Woodward and Hoffmann) and state-energy correlation diagrams (Longuet-Higgins and Abrahamson). Here we have used ab initio complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations to generate such diagrams. First we present diagrams for the classic case of cyclobutene ring openi...

In their seminal work, Compeau and Higgins (1995) provided the IS research community with a measure of computer selfefficacy (CSE) based on Bandura’s (1986) Social Cognitive Theory. The use of this CSE measure has since flourished within various academic literatures. Recent research interest (Marakas, Johnson, & Clay, 2007; Thatcher, Zimmer, Gundlach et al., 2008), however, challenges the conti...

It is well known that natural languages may syntactically encode the focus/presupposition divide; we refer to it as the assertion content of the sentence. One construction that overtly and unambiguously structures this aspect of the meaning of a sentence is the pseudo-cleft and, in particular, the so-called specificational pseudo-cleft (Higgins 1976), where the post-copula constituent specifies...

In February 2008, a new version of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of E¡ects was released in an online format (Higgins & Green, 2008). A print version is expected by October 2008. This major revision includes a new format andmany added features. New additions re£ect an evolving understanding of quality within research evidence, and re¢nements to assure that Cochrane reviews continu...

As these authors observe, the sentences in (1) and (2) are similar in both form and meaning. The truncated clefts in (1) look like the clefts in (2) minus the cleft clause, and in the right contexts, each of the sentences in (1) can be used with the meaning of the corresponding sentence in (2). Following a question like Who went to Hamburg?, (1b) can be used to convey what (2b) conveys, and fol...

We present a pair of sharp lower and upper bounds on the 2-norm of the aliasing error in general multiband sampling representationsfor not necessarily bandlimited multidimensional functions. These boundsimprove and generalize previous bounds. They also complement a recentuniform upper bound due to Higgins. multiband, Poisson summation, error energy.Index TermShannon sampling...

Whilst the growing number of identity management systems have the potential to reduce the threat of identity attacks, major deployment problems remain because of the lack of interoperability between such systems. In this paper we propose a scheme to provide interoperability between two widely discussed identity systems, namely Shibboleth and an Information Card system such as CardSpace or Higgi...
