Abstract:
Resource acquisitions have added value to resource companies over the past two decades. This stems from the results of this research which has analysed 30 transactions and further reviewed 22 transactions with a total value A$240 billion. However, this figure is dominated by the 1997 BHP Billiton bid for Rio Tinto and if this attempted takeover is excluded from the list, the total value of the transactions analysed is A$60 billion.The consolidation has occurred in three waves since the early 1990s. These periods are: • First, a period starting in 1995 and ending in 2000; it included the end o

Abstract:
The celebrity status is seen in a wide variety of domains that ranges from entertainment, to sport, to politic communities. It operates as a way of providing distinctions and definitions of success within those domains (Marshall, 1997). The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the paradigmatic elements of celebrity negative information across different celebrity domains. The word paradigmatic is used because over the years we have seen celebrities killing their careers as consequence of their wild behavior. In the other hand we have also seen celebrities booming their careers. This thesis i

Negative word of mouth is something most businesses try to avoid, It could affect the reputation and vision of a company in a consumer’s mind. The success of a company lies in the connection of a product or service with a satisfying good image that has been formed on the back of consumer’s mind. This image can be the result of a positive past experience or the good reputation a company already has. On the other hand, negative word of mouth specifically in social media has the power to destroy the reputation of a company, because of the fast and wide spreading of a crisis in no time. This resea

Clinically it is well known that negative affect influences the quality of human social, romantic, and sexual relationships. Conversely, it is well accepted that the quality of these relationships influences both positive and negative affect in humans.

Hence, the present study used a Structural Equations Model (SEM) approach to examine relations among self-reported Negative Affect, Mate Values, and Mate Retention Behaviors.

Abstract:
The work of this Ph.D. thesis in mathematics concerns the problem of determining existence, uniqueness, and structure of zero-energy states in supersymmetric matrix models, which arise from a quantum mechanical description of the physics of relativistic membranes, reduced Yang-Mills gauge theory, and of nonperturbative features of string theory, respectively M-theory. Several new approaches to this problem are introduced and considered in the course of seven scientific papers, including: construction by recursive methods (Papers A and D), deformations and alternative models (Papers B and C), a

Abstract:
This master’s thesis is dealing with possibilities of measurement of inductance by using of accurate capacitance bridge AH 2500E. In metrology there are no appropriate devices available for accurate measurement of inductance. It can be realized by four methods. The newest one is based on T elements, it is not used for this purpose yet and it is practically investigated in CMI Brno. For its introduction to practice it is neccessary to complete computer simulations and analysis of influences affecting measurement. It is also inevitable to examine repeatability of measurement, define methodology

碩士<br>國立暨南國際大學<br>資訊管理學系<br>99<br>Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a commonly used assessment method that is used to measure the performance of decision-making units (DMUs), while mainly dealing with precise input values and precise output value data. However, they are limited to measuring the efficiency of each DMU one by one. In other words, each DMU can find the best weight for itself but cannot directly sort them. Therefore, none of the DMUs can be compared directly because of a different basis. This paper proposes a new DEA model to handle imprecise and negative

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>財務金融研究所<br>98<br>Based on Penman’s (2007) definition, this paper examines the value impact of firms with negative net debt. “Negative net debt” here means holding more financial assets than financial liabilities. We use a total of 2,058 US firms to investigate the relationship between firm value and negative net debt holding during the period from 1998 to 2008. Our evidences show that firms with negative net debt may not necessarily have higher firm value. Hence some other firm characteristic, such as, firm size, the level of cash holdings, and the investment opportunities are

Following Joos and Plesko (2005), we classify the sample firms into two categories: transitory negative earnings and persistent negative earnings. The empirical results show that cash flows from operating activities are more value relevant for the negative-earnings firms in electronics industry, especially for those with transitory negative earnings.

There are many studies exploring the determinants of corporate cash holdings and the effect of cash holdings on corporate value in the literature, but very few of them discuss the cash value differences between positive earning firms and negative earning firms. Hence, we follow Faulkender and Wang’s (2006) model to measure the marginal cash value in total sample, positive earning firms and negative earning firms and to test what factors are significant determinants of ma

Some previous studies suggested that genuine practice of CSR might enhance the corporate image, thus further winning the crowds’ hearts, increasing target customers, and drawing more outstanding talents.

Abstract:
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is an important data-analysis problem which concerns factoring a given d n matrix A with nonnegative entries into matrices B and C where B and C are d k and k n with nonnegative entries. It has numerous applications including Object recognition, Topic Modelling, Hyper-spectral imaging, Music transcription etc. In general, NMF is intractable and several heuristics exists to solve the problem of NMF. Recently there has been interest in investigating conditions under which NMF can be tractably recovered. We note that existing attempts make unrealistic assump
