the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of outside board on rm value in tehran stock exchange (tse) from the perspective of information transaction costs. to do so, a sample of 96 firms listed in tse is selected to be studied during the period of 2003-2012. tobin q ratio is used to measure rm's value and bid-ask spread for information transaction costs. in addition to these v...

One of effort to overcome the planar MOSFET’s limit is super-junction technology in high voltage power MOSFET. This technology can dramatically reduce both on-resistance and gate charge, which is usually a trade-off. With smaller parasitic capacitances, the super-junction MOSFETs have extremely fast switching characteristics and therefore reduced switching losses. Naturally fast switching behav...

The present study carried out to examine the relationship between ownership structure, board independence and firm performance of eighty listed firms at KSE for the period of 2005-2009. Performance is evaluated with the help of market based and accounting based performance measures. Marris ratio and Tobin‟s Q are used as estimators of market performance, while ROA, ROE has been used as accounti...

Due to disadvantages in manual inspection, an automated visual inspection system is needed to eliminate subjective aspects and provides fast and quantitative assessment of printed circuit board (PCB). Up to the present, there has been a lot of work and research concentrated on PCB defect detection. PCB defects detection is necessary for verification of the characteristics of PCB to make sure it...

Copper wires have been attracting much attention for Large Scale Integration (LSI) bonding because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties, in addition to their low material cost. The ends of these wires are usually joined to pads or through-holes on a printed circuit board, and lead-free soldering is one of the popular bonding methods. Since the deformation resistance of solder...

Abstract This paper presents an overview of the channels monetary transmission and their manifestation in Bulgaria – a country currency board arrangement first five years after introduction regime. The presence such mechanism requires some form macroeconomic discretion. latter is approximated here with dynamics single fiscal account present on balance sheet board.

There is a general interest among paper and board makers to produce lighter and bulkier paper and board products. The aim of the present study was to characterize chemically crosslinked hardwood kraft fibers regarding their potential in making bulky paper and board. Crosslinking agents are molecules that contain two or more reactive ends that form inter-chain covalent bonds with cellulosic hydr...
