Ma, Linlin. "Internal versus External Replacement of Mutual Fund Managers." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2013. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/finance_diss/23.

Abstract:

I use a unique dataset of 1,808 mutual fund manager replacements to study the determinants and the subsequent impact of the choice between hiring the successor from within (internal hire) and outside (external hire) the fund family. I find that fund families prefer to replace their top performers with internal hires and bottom performers with external hires. External hires demonstrate superior ability to turn around bottom performing funds, but exhibit inferior ability to maintain the record of top performing funds. I find no cross-sectional difference in post-replacement performance between i

Enterprise system replacement projects within the property and casualty insurance industry are costly, high-risk undertakings that carry a significant risk of project failure. The decision to replace policy administration systems for companies with over $250 million in direct written premium is a multimillion dollar investment for corporate strategic decision makers. This study examined the financial impact of enterprise policy administration system replacement in the property and casualty insurance industry by comparing financial performance results for companies that performed policy adminis

Abstract:

Cement replacement materials are by-products used to produce high performance concrete. Published data on the effects of combinations of mineral admixtures in concrete on the microstructural and performance-related properties under different curing regimes are comparatively little. Further the correlation of strength of concrete to its permeability and pore structure is also not clear. The main objective of this research is to study the performance of various combinations of fly ash/silica fume and slag/silica fume concretes under three different curing regimes, viz. continuous moist curing, n

Abstract:

The facile synthesis of engineering thermoplastics enabled the development of structure-morphology-property relationships for a wide range of applications. Utilizing step-growth polymerization techniques, a myriad of reaction conditions probed various polymer families including polysulfones, polyesters, polyimides and polyureas. Copolymers ranging from random to segmented sequences provided insight into the influence of segment length on physical properties. Melting temperatures, glass transition temperatures, and mechanical properties responded systematically to segment length and morphology.

Peer-to-peer networks are a common methodology used for content delivery and data sharing on the Internet.

Abstract:

Background: aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is becoming more and more common in the elderly population, involving around 13.2% of subjects older than 75 years. In addition to worsening quality of life, untreated severe AVS has been associated with high short term mortality rate. However, these adverse outcomes could be modified by aortic valve replacement (AVR). In recent years, in particular, newer surgery procedures and anesthesiological techniques have allowed also older and frailer patients access to AVR procedures. Previous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of AVR in older subjects in

Abstract:

When foundations are designed on weak clay layers, it is a common practice to modify the subgrade by installing stone columns. Currently used methods for determining the level of ground modification, represented by the percentage of soil replaced (replacement ratio), assume a rigid foundation. These analytical methods provide the designer with the potential settlement reduction based on the compressibility parameters of the subgrade and the replacement ratio. The deficiencies of these methods are the assumption of rigidity of the foundation and the consideration of the settlement reduction as

On average the teams changing their coach improved their performance under the new coach, though compared to the control group no significant difference was found.

The Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) paradigm has cemented itself as the archetypal philosophy of future microprocessor design. Rapidly diminishing technology feature sizes have enabled the integration of ever-increasing numbers of processing cores on a single chip die.

To bridge this performance gap, a high-performing memory structure is needed. An attractive solution to overcoming this processor-memory performance gap is using compression in the memory hierarchy.

When hollow concrete masonry is used for construction in high seismic regions, structural designs typically require fully grouted walls.

However, this technology consumes a high amount of leakage currents, which is a major design concern because leakage energy consumption increases as the transistor size shrinks. Alternative technologies are being considered to reduce this consumption. Among them, embedded Dynamic RAM (eDRAM) technology provides minimal area and leakage by design but reads are destructive and it is not as fast as SRAM. In this thesis, both SRAM and eDRAM te

Abstract:

A identificação de fatores relacionados à segurança e qualidade das próteses para artroplastia de quadril na visão do ortopedista especialista, bem como a busca e checagem por informações advindas dos instrumentos legais de regulação, tais como localização do Registro do Ministério da Saúde e rótulo de instruções de uso, com exata descrição das características dos dispositivos, a notificação e procura por alertas da Tecnovigilância podem apontar critérios que minimizem a possibilidade de erros e surgimento de eventos adversos na escolha dos implantes para quadril durante o processo de indicaçã

Abstract:

Esta tese enfocou a validação de um sistema de recirculação para estudos de digestibilidade de camarões marinhos e a determinação dos coeficientes de digestibilidade de ingredientes protéicos em diferentes níveis de inclusão para a elaboração de dietas para camarões marinhos. O sistema de recirculação compreendeu o projeto de um tanque para estudos de digestibilidade com camarões e entre os diferentes sistemas avaliados, o Guelph-L foi o mais eficiente porque combinou uma alta eficiência de remoção de sólidos com um melhor perfil de velocidade da água e menor distância percorrida pelas partícu

Abstract:

The research topic is: Tools for the revision of a maintenance strategy for an explosives manufacturing plant, using asset management principles. This research has specific reference to the SASOL Prillan plant based in SASOL, Sasolburg. The purpose of this research is to identify tools for the revision of a maintenance strategy for an explosives manufacturing plant, using asset management principles. These tools must be aimed to increase the proactive work capacity index, Figure 3, and to identify and/or develop tools that can be used by the engineering team of this explosives manufacturing pl
