Purpose: Against a backdrop of continued weak economic conditions and with many firms experiencing declining financial performance, this paper presents a synthesis of the business turnaround literature. It aims to identify which turnaround and recovery strategies have been effective historically, based on the evidence provided by previous empirical research. Design/methodology/approach: We revi...

This contribution highlights the challenges of implementing ISO 26262 to an industrial E/E verification and testing environment. A methodology to obtain a verification plan and an adequate test strategy in order to meet ISO 26262 requirements is presented and evaluated in an in-house project.

The risk-neutral equilibrium bidding strategy for first-price auctions with independent private values is justified without assuming a well-defined Bayesian game. Bidders, aware of their own value, assume the private values to be linearly related. The latter, however, are independent and identically distributed, and this is only known by Nature. Allowing for arbitrary linear common value belief...

In this paper we propose a generalized complex networks model, which concerns asymmetric network configuration including both neutral-type coupling delay and retarded-type one. The synchronization problem of this generalized complex networks is reformulated into the asymptotical stability problem of neutral delay functional differential equations. By introducing descriptor system transformation...

in this article differential transformation method (dtms) has been used to solve neutral functional-differential equations with proportional delays. the method can simply be applied to many linear and nonlinear problems and is capable of reducing the size of computational work while still providing the series solution with fast convergence rate. exact solutions can also be obtained from the kno...

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have difficulties with tasks that require response inhibition. We measured electroencephalographic data of nonmedicated children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and control children in two conditions: (a) a neutral condition without a self-regulation strategy and (b) a condition that involved the making of if-then plans (i.e. ...

Recently, the capture and storage of CO2 have attracted research interest as a strategy to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases. It is crucial to find suitable materials to achieve an efficient CO2 capture. Here we report our study of CO2 adsorption on boron-doped C60 fullerene in the neutral state and in the 1e (-)-charged state. We use first principle density functional calculation...
