BACKGROUND Since demand for distilling wheat is expected to increase rapidly as a result of the development of the bioethanol industry, efficient production will become of increasing importance. Achieving this will require an understanding of the agronomic factors that influence both grain yield and alcohol yield. Therefore five field experiments using the winter distilling wheat variety Glasgo...

This letter gives an overview of classical iterative learning control algorithms. The presented algorithms are also evaluated on a commercial industrial robot from ABB. The presentation covers implicit to explicit model-based algorithms. The result from the evaluation of the algorithms is that performance can be achieved by having more system knowledge.

Most studies on mergers and acquisitions are not sample selective. This study directly examines the motives of horizontal mergers by utilizing a sample of acquiring firms based on same SIC codes. A three factor Arbitrage pricing model was utilized, with Tobin’s q ratio as a measure of market power, to study the performance of the firms involved in the mergers. The results indicate the acquisiti...
