Purpose The work of internal auditors is relevant to their host entities' reporting processes; however, few researchers have examined how auditors’ competency and objectivity affect resistance pressure from entities regarding reports. Thus, the main objective this study examine influence audit functions' (IAF) quality factors on chief executives' (CAEs) ability not modify report. Design/methodo...

One hypothesized contributor to vision changes experienced by >75% of International Space Station astronauts is elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). While no definitive data yet exist, elevated ICP might be secondary to the microgravity-induced cephalad fluid shift, resulting in venous congestion (overfilling and distension) and inhibition of cerebrospinal and lymphatic fluid drainage from the...

This article covers the general behaviour of a straight uniform pipe, with built-in open ends, subject to internal pressure and in plane bending or curvature. It is intended as a summary of the basic equations driving the unintuitive phenomena of bending and instability of pipes under internal pressure. The analysis covers in addition the investigation of opposite pressure stabilisation effects...
