Purpose Recognizing the severity of COVID-19 on US economy, authors investigate behavior US-listed firms towards leverage speed adjustment (SOA) during pandemic. While prior evidence (based an international study) shows that firm increased pandemic leading to a higher SOA toward ratios, for same period reduced drastically. Yet there is dearth empirical studies firms' The fill this void. Design/...

A model of industry speed of price adjustment is derived from firm pricing behaviours. The model is applied to quarterly two-digit Australian manufacturing data for the period 1985:3 to 2002:3. Initially, the industry speed of price adjustment is treated as a function of structural cross-section variables. The results suggest that the industry speed of price adjustment is positively related to ...

the present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (eos) to refrigerant fluids. the objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified eos are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. our results showed that, the proposed eos can predict w...

Employing a large sample of 7246 firms across 38 economies from 2000 to 2013, we show positive relation between foreign institutional ownership (FIO) and firms' speed leverage adjustment. This is concentrated for over-leveraged that need decrease financial rebalance their capital structures. We validate our findings using 2SLS regression DiD estimation exploit the exogenous variations in FIO ge...

Considering the high consumption of the air compressors, a control system of screw compressor is designed and implemented to deal with energy saving and localization of mentioned compressor. In this paper the variable speed drive (VSD) control algorithm based on proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is optimized to decrease power consumption and more stable motor speed and outlet pr...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has remarkable characteristics that make it attractive for high-speed applications. As the motor's speed increases the shape of the current waveform changes in such way that limits the production of motoring torque. At high speeds, it is possible for the phase current never reaches the desired value due to the self e.m.f. of the motor, therefore, the torque...
