The Eckbo-Masulis (1992) theory predicts that a seasoned offer is more likely to be underwritten the higher the proportion of shares expected to be sold to new investors, and further predicts a negative relation between abnormal returns on announcement and sales to new investors. The evidence in this paper does not support these predictions. The proportion underwritten is determined primarily b...

In the biotechnology industry today, there are many business models for project commercialization. These models range from independent vertical integration to certain forms of collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to complete acquisitions of projects by the big pharmaceutical companies. In this thesis, we wanted to study commercialization strategies of several biotechnology companies. We ...

Beginning with Waite’s (1923) Fishes of South Australia, the marine fishes of South Australia (SA) have been increasingly well documented. Waite, Scott (1962) and Gomon et al. (1994) have recorded >210 species of cartilaginous and bony fishes for Gulf St Vincent (GSV) and Investigator Strait (IS). While this is potentially a bewildering array of sizes, shapes and colours, observant fishers and ...

General methods of investigating effectivity on regular Hausdorff (T3) spaces is considered. It is shown that there exists a functor from a category of T3 spaces into a category of domain representations. Using this functor one may look at the subcategory of effective domain representations to get an effectivity theory for T3 spaces. However, this approach seems to be beset by some problems. In...

Advances in medical and surgical therapy have gradually changed the type of patients cared for in Indian hospitals. Newer technologies and therapies have become common at many medical centers, resulting in many immune-compromised individuals. Also, care in specialized units and the use of invasive monitoring devices, parenteral nutrition, broad spectrum antimicrobial agents, and assisted ventil...

We define a notion of relational linear combinatory algebra (rLCA) which is a generalization of a linear combinatory algebra defined by Abramsky, Haghverdi and Scott. We also define a category of assemblies as well as a category of modest sets which are realized by rLCA. This is a linear style of realizability in a way that duplicating and discarding of realizers is allowed in a controlled way....

From the available literature it appears that the protein requirements of cats are high by comparison with those of other species. Dickinson & Scott (19563) found that satisfactory growth of kittens could not be maintained if the protein content of the diet on the dry-weight basis was below 30 yo, and Greaves (1959) found 32 o/o protein necessary for growth. My work was undertaken in order to d...
