A quantitative approach in radiation biology based on the clonogenic method and cell survival curves in various conditions are introduced. The cell survival curves seem to have universality with regard to its functional form; in other words, functional form of survival curve seems to be unchanged under various conditions including different species. Various factors affecting the radiosensitivit...

This project examines fiscal reforms in Brazil since the 1990s, particularly in taxation, budgeting, and fiscal federalism. While recentralizing fiscal authority and massively expanding the extractive capacity of the state, policymakers chose not to revamp an inefficient tax system that has nonetheless proven capable of generating high levels of revenue. In budgeting, the economic crises of the...

Article history: Received 9 May 2011 Received in revised form 24 October 2011 Accepted 1 November 2011 Available online 9 November 2011 We survey 290 LATAM firms on capital budgeting, cost of capital and capital structure issues. We analyze the results and compare them to those of other studies. We interpret differences according to special features characterizing both emerging markets and SME....

performance   evaluation in regular periods is one of the ways in which organizations can   evaluate their performance as well as weak and strong points unifiedly and   precisely. these days, mathematical models are also used to evaluate the   efficiency and productivity of various units. these units are a collection of   education, research and service activities as input and output factors an...

In this paper we propose an ontology-based dynamic enterprise model to facilitate managerial control. Management control systems serve to implement enterprise strategies, and formal management control systems typically include strategic planning, budgeting, performance measurement, and performance evaluation processes (Anthony and Govindarajan 2004). We focus on the portion of the process where...

recently, extracts from various parts of a. occidentale had been massively investigated in themanagement and treatment of various ailments which include but not limited to diabetes, malaria,yellow fever as well as diarrhea. stem bark of anacardium occidentale was extracted with water andethanol. antioxidant activities of the extracts were using dpph. for estimation of effectivediffusivity, math...

An excess delay each component of a design can tolerate under a given timing constraint, is referred to as a delay budget. Delay budgeting has been widely exploited to improve the design quality. We present an optimal integer delay budgeting algorithm. Due to numerical instability and discreteness of libraries of components during design optimization flow, integer solution for delay budgeting i...
