We hypothesize that owing to limited investor attention and skepticism of complexity, innovative diversity (ID) of a firm's patent portfolio will be undervalued. ID strongly predicts stock returns after controlling for firm characteristics and risk. High ID portfolios provide Carhart alphas of 56-81 basis points per month and stronger and less volatile operating performance. The Diversified Min...

and Applied Analysis 3 Next we present auxiliary statements which play important roles in proving the main results. Define F : 0,∞ → R by F x Φ x/q−1/q −Φ 1−1/x and h : Φ −∞ q ,∞ → R by h x x 1 − q1−α [ 1 − ( 1 ( q − 1 ) Φ−1 x )1−α] . 2.1 For y : q0 → R \ {0} define the operator L by L [ y ] t Φ ( y ( q2t ) qy ( qt ) − 1 q ) −Φ ( 1 − y t

The term "grouped microcalcifications" refers to the smallest arrangement of a relatively few calcifications noted on mammography, and has a wide range of clinical associations. For the pathologic diagnosis of suspicious-looking grouped microcalcifications without an associated mass, a mammography-guided procedure should be considered, because visualization of microcalcifications by conventiona...

Needle biopsy is an established technique for the histological diagnosis of bone tumours, usually guided by fluoroscopy or CT. Surface lesions and aggressive tumours which have extended through the cortex are also amenable to imaging with ultrasound (US). We have assessed the diagnostic accuracy of US-guided Trucut needle biopsy in a consecutive series of patients referred to a Bone Tumour Unit...

OBJECTIVE We described the technique of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous removal of the foreign bodies (FB) with hydro-dissection in the radiologic department and presented video files of several cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four patients referred to the radiology department for US evaluation and US-guided percutaneous removal of the FBs in the upper and lower extremities between November,...
