This paper introduces a new measure of management overconfidence, overconfident tone, and shows its association with excess investments, larger share repurchases, and higher stock portions in CEO compensations. Overconfident tone is composed of abnormal positivity and abnormal certainty. They are calculated by dividing conference call transcripts into management parts and analyst parts, and sep...

This paper addresses the problem of investment optimization using genetic control. Time series for stock values are obtained from data available on the www and asset prices are predicted using adaptive algorithms. A portfolio is optimized with the genetic algorithm based on a recursive model of portfolio composition obtained on-the-fly using genetic programming. These two steps are integrated i...

Computer networks are complex systems, often routing hundreds, thousands, or even millions of data packets every second. Therefore, in order for networks to handle large amounts of data, it is important that the data routes efficiently. So, the need for security management and protecting data become evident in networks. IP network recovery defines Clusters, or multiple computers that work toget...

1.1 High mortality in dialysis patients Dialysis patients have extraordinarily high mortality rates. Cardiac disease is the major cause of death accounting for 43% of all-cause mortality among patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis [Henry et al., 2002; US Renal Data System Annual Data Report Bethesta, 2005]. In previous report, patients with end-stage kidney disease (chronic ki...

Cryoglobulinaemia is a systemic inflammatory condition characterised by immune complex-mediated small-to-medium-sized vasculitis. It has a wide variety of presentations ranging from bruising, neuropathy, and hepatosplenomegaly to acute renal failure. Mixed cryoglobulinaemia is the most common type and is strongly associated with hepatitis C. Management approaches include use of cyclophosphamide...

Supplying adequate amounts of soil N for plant growth during the growing season and across large agricultural fields is a challenge for conservational agricultural systems with cover crops. Knowledge about cover crop effects on N comes mostly from small, flat research plots and performance of cover crops across topographically diverse agricultural land is poorly understood. Our objective was to...
