In the study presented institutional context is discussed in terms of companies’ entry mode choice. In contrary to many previous analyses, instead of using one or two aggregated variables, a set of eleven determinants is used to establish equity and non-equity internationalization friendly conditions. Based on secondary data, 140 countries are analyzed and grouped into clusters revealing simila...

In this paper, modified Approach for classifying Multi-dimensional data cube is constructed. It explores data cubes in large Multi-Dimensional Schema. Numerical and Nominal attributes are categorized based on Principal Component Analysis. Semantic relationships are identified by applying Multidimensional scaling. Additionally, AR is integrated for finding the inserting measures. Many algorithms...

In this paper, we propose a novel variational method for unsupervised texture segmentation. We use a Gabor filter bank to extract texture features. Some of the filtered channels form a multidimensional Gaborian feature space. To avoid deforming contours directly in a vector-valued space we use a Gaussian mixture model to describe the statistical distribution of this space and get the boundary a...

This paper adopts mechanism design to investigate the coexistence of …at money and higherreturn assets. We consider an economy with pairwise meetings where …at money and riskfree capital compete as means of payment, as in Lagos and Rocheteau (2008). The trading mechanism in pairwise meetings is chosen among all individually rational, renegotiation-proof mechanisms to maximize society’s welfare....

A memory design based on logi cal banks is analyzed for shared memory mul tiprocessor systems In this design each phys ical bank is replaced by a logical bank consist ing of a fast register and subbanks of slower memory The subbanks are bu ered by in put and output queues which substantially re duce the e ective cycle time when the refer ence rate is below saturation The principal contribution ...

Vegetation was added to a fully developed sandy point bar in the meander of a constructed stream. Significant changes in the flow structure and bed topography were observed. As expected, the addition of vegetative resistance decreased the depth-averaged streamwise velocity over the bar and increased it in the open region. In addition, the secondary circulation increased in strength but became c...

Properly sized capacitor banks are connected across induction motors for several reasons including power factor correction, reducing distortions, increasing capacity, etc. Total harmonic distortion (THD) and power factor (PF) are used in such cases to quantify the improvements obtained through connection of the external capacitor banks. On the other hand, one of the methods for assessing the mo...

We study the dynamics of liquidity provision by dealers during an asset market crash, described as a temporary negative shock to investors’aggregate asset demand. We consider a class of dynamic market settings where dealers can trade continuously with each other, while trading between dealers and investors is subject to delays and involves bargaining. We derive conditions on fundamentals, such ...

Most electrical distribution systems are incurring large losses as the loads are wide spread, inadequate reactive power compensation facilities and their improper control. A typical static VAR compensator consists of capacitor bank in binary sequential steps operated in conjunction with a thyristor controlled reactor of the smallest step size. This SVC facilitates stepless control of reactive p...
