in this study we analyze the effects of environmental performance on the generation of firm value from dow jones sustainability index europe. we use a sample of 122 firms from different sectors, except financial one, which belong to this index for the years 2007 through 2009. the expected results, taking into account our hypotheses, should show a positive relationship between the generation of ...

Humans use their linguistic knowledge in at least two ways: on the one hand, to convey what they mean to others or to themselves, and on the other hand, to understandwhat others say orwhat they themselves say. In either case, they must assemble the syntactic structures of sentences in a systematic fashion, in accordance with the grammar of their language. In this article, we advance the view th...

Self-generated information is often better remembered than read (the generation effect). Recent research, however, has shown that generating under fewer experimental constraints (i.e., limitations on what can be generated) increase the magnitude of effect. This study systematically varied constraint to understand effects memory. Participants encoded associated cue–target word pairs (above–below...

In this paper, the reflection of ultrasonic guided waves from simple dent in pipes has been investigated using finite element method and the relationship between reflection coefficient of these waves and deformation rate has been determined. Also, the effect of the parameters of wave generation source on the generated wave field has been investigated using normal modes expansion method. At firs...
