Cumulative abnormal return (CAR) is estimated as long-term shareholder wealth of private placement, and we propose empirical evidence of the effect of private placement on long-term shareholder wealth. Private placement of listed firms has significantly positive effect on long-term shareholder wealth. Cumulative abnormal return are positively related with offer type of private placement at the ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a rural clinical placement on students' self-perceived clinical skills and work location choice post-graduation. METHODS A one month rural placement program was introduced in 2008-2009 for 4(th) year dental undergraduates. Student's views on the rural exercise were collected by pre and post self-completion questionnaires, which were distributed to ru...

This paper reports a linear programming approach for placement of applicants to study programs developed and implemented at the college of Business & Economics, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The approach is estimated to significantly streamline the placement decision process at the college by reducing required man hour as well as the time it takes to announce placement decisions. C...

In this paper, we introduce a new placement problem movitated by the Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGA (DRFPGA) architectures. Unlike traditional placement, the problem for DRFPGAs must consider the precedence constraints among logic components. For the placement, we develop an effective metric that can consider wirelength, register requirement, and power consumption simultaneously. With the cons...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) are effective in preventing rebleeding of ruptured aneurysms. To better understand the mechanism underlying this protective effect, we evaluated blood flow in aneurysms and their parent arteries before and after GDC coil placement. METHODS An 0.14-inch guidewire containing a combined pressure and thermistor sensor was inserted through a...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are extensively used in diverse electronic products today. The placement process tends to be a bottleneck in a PCB assembly line, and many SMT PCB assembly researches focused on improving the process perspective of the machine operations. This research proposed a BPN data mining model to analyze the effect of a head calibration process on the defects of placement o...
