Sheka, E. F. "Computational Strategy for Graphene: Insight from Odd Electrons Correlation." Thesis, Sumy State University, 2012. http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/35023.
Full textAbstract:
The correlation of odd electrons in graphene turns out to be significant so that the species should be
attributed to correlated ones. This finding profoundly influences the computational strategy addressing it
to configuration-interaction computational schemes. Owing to serious problems related to the schemes
realization, a compromise can be suggested by using single-determinant approaches based on either
Hartree-Fock or Density-Functional Theory in the form of unrestricted open-shell presentation. Both
computational schemes enable to fix the electron correlation, while only the Hartree-Fock theory suggests
a set of quantities to be calculated that can quantitatively characterize the electron correlation and can be
used for a quantitative description of such graphene properties as magnetism, chemical reactivity, and
mechanical response. The paper presents concepts and algorithms of the unrestricted Hartree-Fock theory
applied for the consideration of magnetic properties of nanographenes, their chemical modification by the
example of stepwise hydrogenation, as well as a possible governing the electron correlation by the carbon
skeleton deformation.

This paper studies how technical analysis has been used throughout historyand constructs a technical trading strategy to be used in a computer algorithm.The strategy is based on a linear regression indicator and aims to prot fromthe assumption that markets, in this case the DAX, has some degree of serialcorrelation in daily price-movements. The strategy developed in this paper doesbeat a buy and hold with a substantial margin. Further, I test the validity of theseresults by simulating two different sets of random stock-paths using monte-carlosimulations; one following a geometric Brownian motion and the other a wienerprocess with serial correlation. I nd that the strategy based on a linear regressionhas signicantly higher returns than a buy and hold strategy over the same timeperiod and that the results generated by the strategy on the DAX give some degreeof evidence for serial correlation in daily prices on the DAX.

Full textAbstract:
Within the real estate asset class, most companies own and operate properties. How the companies construct their property portfolio, in respect of property type and geographical focus, differ. Some companies have chosen to be focused while the holdings of some companies are well diversified. Depending on which strategy is chosen, the underlying assets of the companies will be different and affected by different factors. This paper investigates if, in Sweden, the composition of the publicly traded real estate companies’ property portfolios affects how their stocks behave on the stock market. Four hypotheses about the behavior is stated, each hypothesis is linked to certain key financial figures that is calculated and analyzed over time. The financial figures that are investigated are the correlation between the companies as well as the correlation with the stock market portfolio, the risk and the risk-adjusted return of the companies. All figures are tested over either a 36 month or a 12 month rolling time period. The results show that the diversified companies display a higher correlation with each other as well as the market since the beginning of the 21st century. Companies that are diversified across property types but focused geographically also display higher correlation. Hence, if a company is focused or diversified geographically doesn’t seem to affect the level of correlation between the companies. Another result is that the smaller, often more focused, companies have a low correlation with each other as well as with the market. However, there are exceptions among the diversified as well as the focused companies. The risk is measured with the help of two variables, the beta coefficient and standard deviation. The results of the rolling beta coefficients show that the companies that are diversified over property type have a higher market risk compared to those that are focused. Whether a company is diversified or focused geographically doesn’t seem to matter. The results of the standard deviation measurements do not show this result as all companies moved in similar fashion. Risk-adjusted return is measured with the help of the Sharpe ratio. The results show that the risk-adjusted return is independent of the composition of the companies’ portfolios. However, in the crisis, the risk-adjusted return of all companies are compressed regardless of how well they performed prior to the crisis.

Full textAbstract:
To facilitate the design of efficient simulation experiments, Schruben and Margolin
(1978) recommend a correlation induction strategy for orthogonally blockable experimental
designs. The objective of such experiments is to estimate a general linear regression
model on the basis of a quantitative response variable generated by the
simulation model. Nozari, Arnold, and Pegden (1987) develop optimal statistical procedures
for analyzing simulation experiments performed under the Schruben-Margolin
correlation induction strategy. Formulas are given for parameter estimation, hypothesis
testing, and confidence interval estimation. The validity of this statistical analysis procedure
is contingent upon the presence of a pure error component in the response. The
goal of this thesis is to provide an appropriate statistical analysis technique for simulation
experiments conducted under the Schruben-Margolin correlation induction strategy
in the absence of pure error, and to identify conditions under which the pure error
component is absent.
Often, in order to construct valid inferences on the responses from a simulation experiment,
the technique used to execute the simulation experiment must be properly
identified. For purposes of this research, the identification problem takes the form of
ensuring that the hypothesized metamodel is appropriate for the number of random
number streams used to induce correlations between responses across design points.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Investment in hedge funds is a relatively new phenomenon for investors compared with other forms of savings. In recent years, the interest has increased among investors in investing their money in hedge funds, given the protection against declines in the market they are aiming for. Their main purpose is to generate a high return at a low risk regardless of market trends. This they can achieve by having fewer restrictions that offer more flexible investment strategies and freer investment opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to identify how the selected hedge fund strategies have performed during the recent economic downturn. We also want to clarify the claim that hedge funds exhibit a positive absolute return regardless of what the market is performing. In order to answer the purpose of the essay and its problems, we have used a quantitative method with a deductive approach in the processing of data. Our observations are thus linked to the theory in order to examine the relationships. We have analyzed our results using various financial and statistical measures. A comparison has been made between the different strategies' performance against each other and against a market index during a five year period, which includes the recent financial crisis in 2008. We have also studied the hedge funds in terms of returns, various risk measures, performance measures, correlation and regression. The statistical measurements have been used to comprehensively examine the study's credibility. We came to the conclusion that all hedge funds are not able to generate positive absolute returns, but it is of importance which strategy to investigate. Our examination showed that the market depending hedge funds had a strong correlation with the market. Thus, they failed to perform as well as the other strategies, which had a minor connection to the market during the period of study.Placering i hedgefonder är ett relativt nytt fenomen för investerare i jämförelse med andra sparformer. Under de senaste åren har intresset bland investerare ökat i att placera sina pengar i hedgefonder, med tanke på det skydd mot nedgångar på marknaden som de strävar efter. Deras huvudsakliga syfte är att till en låg risk generera en hög avkastning oberoende av marknadsutvecklingen. Detta kan de uppnå genom att de har färre restriktioner som erbjuder mer flexibla investeringsstrategier och friare placeringsmöjligheter. Denna undersökning syftar till att kartlägga prestationen av utvalda hedgefondstrategier under den senaste konjunkturnedgången. Vi vill även klargöra påståendet att hedgefonder uppvisar en positiv absolut avkastning oavsett vad marknaden presterar. För att uppsatsens syfte och frågeställningar skall kunna besvaras har vi använt oss utav en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats vid bearbetningen av data. Våra observationer har därmed kopplats till teorin för att undersöka sambanden. Vi har analyserat våra resultat med hjälp av olika finansiella och statistiska mått. En jämförelse har gjorts mellan de olika strategiernas prestation mot varandra och mot ett marknadsindex över en femårsperiod, som innefattar den senaste finanskrisen år 2008. Vi har även studerat hedgefonderna i form av avkastning, olika riskmått, prestationsmått, korrelation och regression. De statistiska måtten har använts för att på ett övergripande sätt kunna granska studiens trovärdighet. Slutsatsen vi kom fram till är att alla hedgefonder inte lyckas generera en positiv absolut avkastning utan det är av betydelse vilken strategi som man undersöker. Vår undersökning visade att de marknadsberoende hedgefonderna hade ett starkt samband med marknaden. Således lyckades de inte prestera lika bra under den studerade tidsperioden som de övriga strategierna som hade en mindre koppling till marknadsutvecklingen.

Full textAbstract:
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an innovative educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both language and subject content. Content and Language Integrated Learning is not commonly used in South African classrooms, but its application internationally has been shown by empirical research to significantly improve overall language competence in the target language. Reports indicate increased learner motivation and support for the learning of the content subject. This study sought to consider whether CLIL intervention would improve both language and science skills amongst Grade 8 learners in a Natural Sciences classroom. The researcher used a concurrent embedded mixed method design, including both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to gather data. An experimental test design with English Home Language classes and Afrikaans Home Language classes was employed. Hypothesis Testing was used as a statistical analysis to compare the pre-test and post-test results in order to ascertain the impact of CLIL intervention. In addition, the poster-activity and an open-ended questionnaire was used to qualitatively ascertain the impact of CLIL on learner literacy skills. The results showed that CLIL intervention improved learner performance significantly when compared to learners who were not exposed to CLIL. In addition, CLIL lessons were perceived as effective and learners verified that the approach was beneficial to their learning process.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, competitive and cooperative newsboy problems for two substitutable products are analyzed by using game theoretic concepts. The demands of the products are assumed to be dependent and normally distributed. Competition is handled for Nash and Stackelberg games. Nash and Stackelberg games are compared in terms of the order quantities and the expected profits. Cooperative newsboy problem is analyzed for the products having equal costs and revenues. The effect of demand correlation on the order quantities and the expected profits in all of the games is investigated through numerical experiments. Optimal solutions of the Nash, Stackelberg and the cooperative games are examined analytically when the demand correlation is 1.

Full textAbstract:
The class of models which is studied in this paper, multi-unit longitudinal models, combines both the cross-sectional and the longitudinal aspects of observations. Many empirical investigations involve the analysis of data structures that are both cross-sectional (observations are taken on several units at a specific time period or at a specific location) and longitudinal (observations on the same unit are taken over time or space). Multi-unit longitudinal data structures arise in economics and business where panels of subjects are studied over time, biostatistics where groups of patients on different treatments are observed over time, and in situations where data are taken over time and space. Modelling issues in multi-unit longitudinal models with random coefficients and patterned correlation structure are illustrated in the context of two data sets. The first data set deals with short time series data on annual death rates and alcohol consumption for twenty-five European countries. The second data set deals with glaceologic time series data on snow temperature at 14 different locations within a small glacier in the Austrian Alps. A practical model building approach, consisting of model specification, estimation, and diagnostic checking, is outlined. (author's abstract)Series: Forschungsberichte / Institut für Statistik

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of teaching a study strategy on the ability of fifth-grade students to read a social studies textbook. The specific strategy was survey, question, read, recite, and review (SQ3R) (Robinson, 1961). It was taught as an integral part of the social studies lesson. The effect of gender and reading level on the SQ3R strategy was studied.The subjects were 72 students enrolled in four intact fifth-grade classrooms of two schools in an urban, midwestern school district. The classes were randomly assigned to a control group consisting of 37 subjects and an experimental group consisting of 35 subjects.The instrument used was the Sequential Tests of Educational Progress III (STEP III). The ability to read a social studies textbook was measured by the social studies subtest during pre- and posttesting procedures. The reading grade level indicator was determined by the reading subtest during the pretesting procedures.An inservice session conducted by the researcher trained the teachers of the experimental group in the SQ3R strategy. Traditional teaching procedures were followed by the control group teachers for the 9-week period.An analysis of covariance was used to examine the results at the p<.05 level of significance. The pretest score of the social studies subtest of the STEP III was used as the covariant.Statistical analysis of data generated the following results:1. There was a significant difference in the preinstructional knowledge of social studies between the experimental and control groups.2. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of the social studies subtest of the STEP III of fifth-grade students taught the SQ3R strategy and those taught the traditional way.3. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of the social studies subtest of the STEP III of males and females taught the SQ3R strategy and those taught the traditional way.4. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of the social studies subtest of the STEP III of above-average, average, and below-average readers taught the SQ3R strategy and those taught the traditional way.5. There was no interaction among the mean scores of the social studies subtest of the STEP III, the gender, and the reading level of fifth-grade students taught the SQ3R strategy and those taught the traditional way.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility to improve the investment model defined in Piotroski (2000) and the subsequent research carried out on this model. Our model builds further upon the original fundamental score put forth by Piotroski. This further developed model is tested in two different contexts; firstly, a weighted fundamental score is developed that is updated every year in order to control for any changes in the predictive ability of fundamental signals over time. Secondly, the behavior of this score is analyzed in context of recession and growth cycles of the macro economy. Our findings show that high book-to-market portfolio consist of poor performing firms, as shown by Fama and French (1995) and is thereby outperformed by both Piotroski's F_score and our own developed scores. The score based on a rolling window correlation is performing a little better then F_score, but the score based on correlations for prior Up and Down periods is not. The conclusions we draw from the results are that improvements have to be made, both to F_score and our own developments, to sort winners from loser to get an even more profitable zero-investment hedge strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are characterized by limited amount of energy supply
at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in system design and operation of WSNs.
In this work we focus on solving the energy efficiency problems of data gathering processes
in WSNs. We first address this problem on a macroscopic level by investigating the efficiency of data gathering trees when data sent by different sensors are correlated. Such
correlation aware data gathering strategies typically shift the aggregation structure from a
default shortest-path tree (SPT) to a steiner minimum tree (SMT) in order to achieve the
required efficiency.
We study the energy efficiency of correlation aware data aggregation trees under various
sensor network conditions and the tradeoffs involved in using them. Comprehensive simulation
results as well as inferences and theoretical analysis of those results are presented in the thesis.
Based on the insights gained through the investigation, we propose a simple, scalable
and distributed correlation aware aggregation structure that achieves good energy performance
across a wide range of sensor network configurations, and at the same time addresses
the practical challenges of establishing a correlation aware data aggregation structure in
resource-constrained WSNs.
On a microscopic level, we propose a novel communication strategy called Communication through Silence (CtS) to achieve energy-efficient data gathering without significant
degradation on overall throughput in WSNs. The proposed scheme primarily uses time, along with a minimal amount of energy to deliver information among sensors. CtS can be used to replace the conventional energy-based transmissions between each pair of sensor nodes during a data gathering process. We analyze in detail the primary energy-throughput tradeoff inherent in this approach as well as other challenges related to the realization of the
proposed communication strategy. Finally, we propose a practical realization of CtS strategy
that includes radio technology, MAC layer, and higher layer solutions. Performance evaluation results prove that this solution effectively realizes the CtS strategy in a WSN setting, at the same time achieves considerable energy savings compared to conventional communication strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Business leaders rely on information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) to stay competitive, and experts agree that the Chief Information Officer (CIO), as the individual responsible for technology optimization, is essential to business success. Based on this understanding, for over 40 years, researchers have invested valuable resources in examining strategic alignment and its antecedents. Although past scholars hint at the likelihood that leadership style influences strategic alignment, no researcher has verified influence in such a relationship. The purpose of this nonexperimental cross-sectional correlational study was to examine the relationship between a CIO’s leadership style and strategic alignment when moderating for business strategy. In this research, 145 IT managers who work in the United States completed surveys to share their perceptions of their CIOs’ leadership style and the realized business and IS strategies. Correlational statistical analyses supported examination of the relationship between three leadership styles (transactional, transformational, and mixed) and strategic alignment for three business strategy types (defender, prospector, and analyzer). Initial findings showed that the leadership style of a CIO had a statistically significant influence on strategic alignment. Following moderation of the relationship by business strategy type, a statistically significant correlation existed between transactional leadership and strategic alignment for analyzer business strategy. However, no statistically significant evidence supported the CIO’s leadership style suited for defender and prospector business strategies. In practice, organizations could use the insights from this study to select or develop CIOs with a particular leadership style to match their business strategy in order to increase the chance of success in achieving strategic alignment. Recommendations for further studies included the use of adequate samples for all statistical analysis and the use of a validated model for leadership style assessment.

The optimal route computed will be updated dynamically, depending on the location of the vehicle and the location of the Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites. The problem was solved using heuristic algorithms instead of the conventional Dijkstra's & Bellman Ford algorithms, which are computationally expensive. Data fusion techniques such as spatial correlation and triangulation algorithms are presented in detail. Such techniques are important for situational awareness in a real time combat environment. Important information provided by onboard sensors are merged with the preplanned data to provide the operator with a better integrated picture of the combat environment.

Full textAbstract:
Telemetry units can be used to gauge inventory levels at customers. These readings can help prevent both stockouts and unnecessary deliveries. The research problem we address is where to place a limited number of telemetry units in order to reduce routing costs. Modeling this problem involves the consideration of both inventory theory as well as vehicle routing concepts. We model this problem with an integer program but solve with heuristics. Our results demonstrate that significant savings can be found with limited numbers of telemetry units. We then extend our results to consider the impact of correlation of customer usage on the placement of telemetry units and show even greater savings can be obtained. We also present a model that can be used for locomotive fuel planning. It decides where fuel trucks should be located as well as the volume of the fuel that should be delivered to each locomotive.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we investigate a manufacturer's sustainable sourcing strategy
that includes recycled materials. To produce a short life-cycle electronic good,
strategic raw materials can be bought from virgin material suppliers in advance of
the season and via emergency shipments, as well as from a recycler. Hence, we take
into account virgin and recycled materials from different sources simultaneously.
Recycling makes it possible to integrate raw materials out of steadily increasing
waste streams back into production processes. Considering stochastic prices for
recycled materials, stochastic supply quantities from the recycler and stochastic
demand as well as their potential dependencies, we develop a single-period
inventory model to derive the order quantities for virgin and recycled raw materials
to determine the related costs and to evaluate the effectiveness of the sourcing
strategy. We provide managerial insights into the benefits of such a green sourcing
approach with recycling and compare this strategy to standard sourcing without
recycling. We conduct a full factorial design and a detailed numerical sensitivity
analysis on the key input parameters to evaluate the cost savings potential. Furthermore,
we consider the effects of correlations between the stochastic parameters.
Green sourcing is especially beneficial in terms of cost savings for high demand
variability, high prices of virgin raw material and low expected recycling prices as
well as for increasing standard deviation of the recycling price. Besides these
advantages it also contributes to environmental sustainability as, compared to
sourcing without recycling, it reduces the total quantity ordered and, hence, emissions
are reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Real estate is an attractive asset class in the mixed-asset portfolio due to favorable risk return characteristics and low correlations with other asset classes like stock and bonds. Unlike financial assets, real estate is a physical asset where large lot sizes/indivisibility, heterogeneity, low liquidity and high transaction costs make applying financial models like modern portfolio theory (MPT) challenging. Optimal allocations to real estate found in literature are generally lower than actual allocations by investors and portfolio managers indicating there are aspects of the application of MPT to real estate that are not fully understood. Since management of real estate is costly and requires expert skills, the question on whether to outsource property management functions is of paramount interest for the real estate industry. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the literature on strategic decisions for real estate investors on allocation and management, Apart from reviewing literature relevant for strategic decisions at different levels and using a top-down approach to illustrate how selected allocation and management decisions are connected, four separate empirical studies are made to investigate the nature of selected strategic decisions for real estate investors.QC 20170515

The improvement of human resources management is of crucial importance in assuring successful implementation of public sector reforms. Different aspects and factors of strategic human resource management (hereinafter – SHRM) are analyzed in foreign scientific literature. However personnel specialists receive poor attention in this context. Therefore the scientific problem analyzed in this thesis is composed of two main questions: what functions form the system of SHRM in public organization, and is the implementation of the system of SHRM functions related to practice characteristics of personnel specialists? While analyzing scientific literature, the main attitudes of SHRM concept were formulated, systems of functions relevant to SHRM was composed. Also there were distinguished practice characteristics of personnel specialists, which might be related to implementation of system of SHRM functions. The peculiarities of implementation of SHRM functions and significant practice characteristic of personnel specialists were revealed while analyzing the finding of empirical research accomplished in municipalities’ administrations. In order to implement the system of SHRM functions in Lithuanian municipal administrations, recommendations for improvement of functions implemented by personnel specialists and formation of their practice characteristic are given in the end of dissertation.Užtikrinant sėkmingą viešojo sektoriaus reformų įgyvendinimą, ypatingai svarbus yra žmogiškųjų išteklių valdymo tobulinimas.

The aim of this study was to analyze the salience of issue dimensions in the Swedish parliament debates by the established parties during the rise of the Sweden Democrats Party (SD). Structural topic modeling was used to construct a measurement of the salience of issues, examining the full body of speeches in the Swedish parliament between September 2006 and December 2019. Trend analysis revealed a realignment from a focus on socio-economic to socio-cultural issues in Swedish politics. Cross-correlation analyses had conflicting results, indicating a weak positive relationship between the salience of issues and the support of SD – but low predictive ability; it also showed that changes in the support of SD did lead (precede) changes in the salience of issues in the parliament. The ramifications of socio-cultural issues being the most salient are that so-called radical right-wing populist parties (RRPs), or neo-nationalist parties, has a greater opportunity to gain support. It can make voters more inclined to base their voting decision on socio-cultural issues, which favors parties who fight for and are trustworthy in those issues – giving them more valence in the eyes of the voters.

Product Positioning Strategy and Market Strategy Student: Shih-Tu Li Advisor: Dr. Zhe-Sheng Hu Department and Graduate Institute of Business Administration National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Abstract Sustainable operation has always been what all the enterprises intend to achieve. The profits that are gained by marketing products are to maintain an enterprise’s production, marketing, sales activities, human resources management, continuous research development and financial support that mainly keeps its operation. Thus, products become an important source for profit making, while customers serve as essential property of enterprises. Taking K Company as the research case, the study is to investigate the correlation between product positioning strategy and market (customer) strategy. It is expected that the results drawn from an empirical analysis conducted in the study become a valuable reference for K Company to make its future operation strategy. The results are as follows: 1. Providing diverse product categories is a way to increase a company’s profits, but has influence on the company’s product management strategy. 2. Customers are a company’s important property. When the quantity of customers stays high, the management risk can be dispersed; however, it will increase the company’s visible and invisible cost, such as storage cost, management cost, thus causing that the expected effects can not be acquired. 3. When a company’s sales department belongs to region sales, too many categories of products will raise the learning difficulty of salespeople. Unsatisfactory learning curve will affect their working efficiency and increase the turnover rate. 4. To improve the operation rate of machines by adding new products is not the best strategy that a company chooses to take. The availability rate of machines has more importance than operation rate does. If only the availability rate is applied to hidden the depreciation of expensive machines, the stock or even dead stock will cause financial burden. 5. For distributors or brand suppliers, demands can not be satisfied even though there are a lot of product lines. Products need to become irreplaceable in order to raise customer’s dependence. 6. A self-own brand serves as a competitiveness with which a company develops. Thus, the system of distributors or agents becomes obviously important. 7. Distributors and agents can help a company rapidly increase its distribution channel system and to broaden the scope of its own brand, but the company should have crisis awareness for risk control. Keywords: Product strategy, Market strategy, Operation rate, Availability rate

Full textAbstract:
One of the most important considerations in winning a competitive bid is the determination of an optimum strategy developed by predicting the competitor's most probable actions. There may be some common factors for different contractors in establishing their bid prices, such as references for cost estimating, construction materials, site conditions, or labor prices. Those dependencies from past bids can be used to improve the strategy to predict future bids. By identifying the interrelationships between bidders with statistical correlations, this study provides an overview of how correlations among bidders influence the bidders winning probability. With data available for over 7,000 Michigan Department of Transportation highway projects that can be used to calculate correlations between the different contractors, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate correlated random variables and the probability of winning from the results of the simulation. The primary focus of this paper outlines the use of conditional probability for predicting the probability of winning to establish a contractor's strategy for remaining bids with their estimated bid price and known information about competitors from past data. If a contractor estimated his/her bid price to be lower than his/her average bid, a higher probability of winning would be achieved with competitors who have a low correlation with the contractor. Conversely, the lower probability of winning decreases as the contractor bid with highly correlated contractors when their bid price is estimated to be higher than the average bid.

Study indicated that, people obtain information through the Internet beyond the traditional book reading trends in recent years. After the rise of the Internet, many consumers gather and compare information on the Internet first, And then they will make the decision to buy the book or not. The Internet has become one of the main pipeline for consumers make purchasing decisions. In addition, some Internet shopping survey show that, "books / magazines" was the most popular online product for people in the country during 2008 and 2009, The book is not only the best-selling products in online shopping, also shows the book sales of long-term and stable proportion in online shopping market. Therefore, this study developed three research purposes, are as follows: To explore the Internet Marketing Strategies of publisher, customer views to Internet Marketing Strategies of publisher, relationship between customer views and purchase intention to Internet Marketing Strategies of publisher. Study found that online activities will be held to obtain customer’s information and build customer relationships, if online activities afford gifts or discount then customer’s purchase intention will increase the most; customers hope that publishier should collect the experience when they use Internet service of publishe, and customer’ purchase intention will increase if personal service is available; Publisher provides multiple channels on internet and really make an immediate response can enhance the customer purchase intention; Finally, if publisher tell information of books and activities in internet community regularly, and respond customer’s quest indeed, customer’s purchase intention will also increase.

This study uses the component stocks of Taiwan 50 index and Taiwan mid-cap 100 index from 2006 to 2018 annual data as a sample. Based on the company's market capitalization as a transition variable, we explore whether there is a non-linear relation- ship between the change in earnings per share, the change of fixed assets per total assets ratio, the P/B ratio of the last period, the turnover rate and the market adjusted re- turns(MAR). Observe whether there is an overreaction of investors when the market value of the company crosses this threshold? Then discuss the feasibility of the contrar- ian investment strategy. The results show that there is a threshold value of the compa- ny's market value, so that there is a non-linear relationship. The company's market cap- italization threshold estimated by the PSTR model is $26.8909 million. This study de- fines that the company's stock with a market capitalization of less than $26.8909 million is a small-value-type stock and the company's stock above $26.8909 million is a large- growth-type stocks. The study observed that the ante and post MAR of its companies undergoing different types of transition has a significant overreaction appearance. The ante and post MAR of the stocks which transfer from value to growth stocks, was changed from 45.67% to 6.31%, decreasing of 39.36%, and the turnover rate higher than the previous period (174.56% rose to 252.06%). Therefore, this change in reward can be attributed to the investor's overreaction, the same as Lakonishok et al. (1994). Based on this basis, a “contrarian investment strategy” was developed. During the sam- ple period, the short-selling from value to growth stocks and purchase of stocks from growth to value stocks, all positions achieved a total MAR of 7.33% per year. We also observed significant asymmetry in buy position (losers) and sell position (winners), 13.64% and -6.31% respectively consistence with the result from De Bondt and Thaler (1985). Therefore, the perfect explanation could not be obtained in the contrarian strat- egy in the sell position (winner). Although the sell position did observe a very signifi- cant overreaction compared with the previous period and a total MAR was reduced by 45.67% to 6.31%.

In order to optimize its core competency and competitive advantage, the enterprise usually adopt the spin-off strategy towards its mature business units, so that a flat organization structure can be developed to reduce internal management layers and to improve operating synergy while the enterprise competitiveness can also be increased as well. Since 2000, the air transport in Asia Pacific Region has continuously grown in volumes and values except for 2008 when global financial crisis slightly slowed the growth trend. Above all, China has shown the most dramatic growth rate. In 2014, the number of commercial aircraft in the Asia-Pacific Region has reached nearly 7200 to accommodate the demand in commercial aviation. In addition, Boeing has forecasted 6% growth rate for the passenger and freight traffic in Asia Pacific. Therefore, the number of aircraft will presumably reach 13000 in 2024. Since the delivery of an aircraft, to extend its service life, it is necessary to continue the airworthiness of the aircraft, from which the maintenance business of the airframe, powerplant and accessories derives. Based on the statistics, the maintenance cost amounts to three or four times of the purchase price during the aircraft life cycle. Thus, the commercial aviation market value of the Asia-Pacific Region escalated to US$16.8 billion in 2014. Such a market size has become the major source of revenue for the aircraft manufacturers i.e. Boeing, Airbus, etc. Moreover, this region has proven to be a place of strategic importance for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) companies worldwide. The MRO operating strategy is of utmost importance for the airlines. There are pros and cons of the different operational approaches, either spin-off or incorporation, which requires thorough consideration. This study aims to examine the operating synergy of spin-off or incorporation of the MRO function and the airlines.

Abstract One serious drawback of fractal image compression is that it is a heavily unbalance technique: the computational requirement of the compression algorithm are orders of magnitude greater than those of the decompression. Moreover, the method used to find the domain block matched to a range block determines how much computation time the encoding process takes. In this thesis, by exploiting the correlation between range blocks a search strategy is proposed to speed up the encoding process. In the proposed strategy, the four domain blocks mapped by the previous causal neighboring range blocks are considered as potential matched blocks to the input range block. The proposed strategy can be based on an existing fast fractal coding algorithm to further reduce its coding complexity and raise the compression efficiency with insignificant loss of image quality. In recent years, image sequence compression is becoming more and more important in visual communication services and digital video storage. Therefore, The proposed interblock correlation search strategy was extended from 2-D still image coding to 3-D video sequences coding. Two intercubes correlation search methods which separately consider the correlation of three-dimensional range blocks in the spatial and the temproal-spatial directions, were developed in fractal coding of image sequences. The methods can be combined with existing fast fractal coding methods to further speed up the encoding process. We compared the performances of the proposed strategy with exhaustive search and other algorithms in terms of the average number of domain blocks searched by a range block, encoding time, bit rate and PSNR. In still image coding, the results indicate that the proposed strategy can further speed up the encoding process of an existing fast method over a factor of 2. It also indicates that the average bit rate reductions by the proposed strategy are 25.4% and 14.3% for 4×4 and 8×8 range block partitions respectively. The performance improvement of 4×4 range partition is greater that of 8×8 range partition due to the higher interblock correlation in 4×4 range partition. The loss of image quality is insignificant, all the values in PSNR incurred by our strategy over others are less than 0.35dB. In fractal vide coding, average compression ratios of 31 to 116, speedup factors of 8 to 4 with insignificant loss of quality, as compared to the local search method have been obtained the 4×4×4 and 8×8×4 range partitions respectively.

The development of transportation not only thrives the economy, but also boosts the tourism industry. In the highly competitive residential service market, brand players have different market segments from unbranded players. Taiwan's hotel industry has developed since 1940 and has been in existence for more than six or seventy years. The development pattern is becoming more and more creative, and the research on the industry is also varied. However, the research on brand value is still less discussed from the perspective of brand equity. This study takes Silks Hotels Group as the research object to study how its marketing strategy forms brand loyalty, popularity, perceived quality, brand association and other brand equity projects. We plan to calculate its brand value through HIROSE MODEL, and analyze what factors contribute to the improvement of brand equity in marketing strategies. The research results show that marketing strategy (price, store impression, advertising expenditure and discount promotion) has a positive and significant impact on brand equity. The higher the brand awareness, the more attractive the consumer will be, and the brands will complement each other. In order to improve profitability and market competitiveness, enterprises will strive to launch products with high added value, develop new products to the market, or expand the business map to create profit. Product quality and brand extension play an essential role when business shows its ambition of long-lasting.

IC design service companies are booming recently in Taiwan. There are two reasons for the success of Taiwan’s IC design service company: Firstly, although there are more than 400 design houses in Taiwan, most of them are small-sized start-up companies. They have limited resources in human and capital. They also have difficulties on engineers training and design tool purchases. If these companies could execute project by outsourcing or one stop shopping service, they can increase the product development efficiently and decrease overhead sharply. Secondly, the engineers of downstream system assembly companies have poor concepts in IC designing. If they can work together with experts of IC design service companies, they can decrease the launching time of new-product. Therefore, the requirements of IC design service company are expertise, accumulates robust Silicon Intellectual Property, vertical relationships buildup, experience and human resources. In other words, IC design service company needs to own its intellectual capital to survive in this new-type industry. The purpose of this paper is to explore and induce the design service company’s key intellectual capital and enterprise strategy. This paper uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Case study method is adopted to analyze IC design service company’s intellectual capital qualitatively. AHP analysis is adopted to analyze IC design service company’s key intellectual capital. This paper also uses Spearman rank correlation analysis to analyze the correlation between key intellectual capital and enterprise strategy. The major finding of this study is: innovation capital, internationalization, vertical integration, product development capability and technology capability are the common development directions of successful IC design service companies.

Medium and small sized enterprises of Taiwan have been playing the most important role in the history of its economic development, and have an ever lasting indelible contribution; however, with the rise of China, Vietnam, India, and many other emerging economic groups the global economic and trade environment has been greatly changed. Taiwan relies greatly on foreign trade, and therefore, these changes to a great extent threaten the economics of Taiwan, because it has no longer advantage in manpower cost. Once they lose competitiveness, they have to face factory closures in the end. They have to do technology innovation, refresh their knowledge, and work out corresponding adjustment in order to regain their competitive advantages. This research explores interfirm networks, business strategy, organizational learning, and the relationship among these factors in order to find out how these three factors influence technology innovation. The analysis dimensions of interfirm networks are strength, location central degree, and networks scale; the enterprise strategy is defined by Miles and Snow(1978) into four types, namely prospector, defender, analyzer, and reactioner. Organizational learning includes explorative study and availability study. The case study will be carried out through the collection of secondary documentation. In order to increase the reliability of the research result, a double-case study method and a content analytical method will be adopted to analyze it; the analysis result will be formatted through categorical construction, analysis checklist ascertaining, and coding to understand interfirm networks business strategy, organizational learning and their relations to the technology innovation. This research is provided as a reference for the researchers or enterprises who are interested in this topic, and we hope that it will help。

This thesis develops the Summed Correlation Assignment Algorithm (SCAA) to solve the Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) in rack-moving mobile robots warehouses (RMWs). The combination of goods stored on the inventory pods mainly influences the warehouse workload. As a shared storage policy, in which each product is stored on multiple inventory pods, is applied, every inventory pod only holds few items of its products. The proposed algorithm combines several heuristics, to manage the replenishment process of products on inventory pods. A computational study is conducted to simulate warehouse operations under changing warehouse parameters and control policies. An artificial data set with adjustable correlation is generated and applied to the computation, in addition to a real-world data set.
