Generally, financial mergers can bring some advantages in terms of improving financial structures, and promoting the operating performance of financial organizations. Meanwhile, official reports demonstrate that the policy of bank mergers has fallen short of expectations, and the choice of managerial strategies remains a major issue for bank administrators. This investigation establishes an ana...

A solution to get the problem off, have you found it? Really? What kind of solution do you resolve the problem? From what sources? Well, there are so many questions that we utter every day. No matter how you will get the solution, it will mean better. You can take the reference from some books. And the preserving privacy in on line analytical processing olap is one book that we really recommend...

We investigate by means of macrotransport theory the transport of Brownian particles in a slit geometry in the presence of an arbitrary two-dimensional periodic energy landscape and driven by an external force or convected by a flow field. We obtained analytical expressions for the probability distribution and the average migration angle of the particles under the Fick-Jacobs approximation. The...

Laser-induced damage has always been and remains as vexing as it is expensive. Despite a quarter century of work, the problem has not been eliminated or even fully defined-only the technical limits have been increased. Although dielectric thin films have improved over the last 25 years, they remain especially difficult subjects to deal with owing to the multiparameter nature of the nonequilibri...

Dans le contexte de l'analyse OLAP, le concept de navigation n'a ja-mais été défini formellement. Nous montrons pourquoi cette lacune est préju-diciable. Nous proposons ensuite une formalisation du concept de navigation, ainsi qu'une première ébauche de langage de définition de navigations.

An approach for the analysis and management of multiple criteria critical infrastructure problems is put forth. Nuclear waste management involves complex tradeoffs under uncertainty. Among all waste either generated by nature or human activities, radioactive nuclear waste is the most toxic to human health and difficult to manage: it is known that some nuclear waste material will be radioactive ...

Trapping and manipulation of microscale and nanoscale particles is demonstrated using the sole action of hydrodynamic forces. We developed an automated particle trap based on a stagnation point flow generated in a microfluidic device. The hydrodynamic trap enables confinement and manipulation of single particles in low viscosity (1-10 cP) aqueous solution. Using this method, we trapped microsca...
