ID strongly predicts stock returns after controlling for firm characteristics and risk. High ID portfolios provide Carhart alphas of 56-81 basis points per month and stronger and less volatile operating performance. The Diversified Min...

and Applied Analysis 3 Next we present auxiliary statements which play important roles in proving the main results. Define F : 0,∞ → R by F x Φ x/q−1/q −Φ 1−1/x and h : Φ −∞ q ,∞ → R by h x x 1 − q1−α [ 1 − ( 1 ( q − 1 ) Φ−1 x )1−α] . 2.1 For y : q0 → R \ {0} define the operator L by L [ y ] t Φ ( y ( q2t ) qy ( qt ) − 1 q ) −Φ ( 1 − y t

background: long-term tunneled catheters are used for the hemodialysis or chemotherapy in many patients. proper placement of the catheter tip could reduce early and late catheter related complications. aim of the present study was to evaluate a new formula for proper placement of tunneled hemodialysis or infusion port device by using an external anatomic landmark. materials and methods: a total...
