Sadler, Graham Vernon. "Executive compensation & share options in UK quoted companies." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36372/.

Abstract:

The topic of executive compensation has recently emerged as a legitimate field for academic study. The rapid growth in publications has almost been matched by the well-publicised growth in CEO remuneration. From the time of the first utility privatisation in the UK, right up to current day, the topic of board room pay has rarely been out of the news headlines or the academic journals. This thesis makes several new contributions to the executive compensation literature, primarily by providing an in depth analysis of the executive option holdings of directors in the UK. Data on this aspect of ex

Abstract:

Bicycling as a mode of transportation has been increasing in recent years due to its environmental and health benefits. The availability of bicycles through bicycle share programs has made bicycling a more viable option. With this increase, there is a need for complementary improvements of bicycle infrastructure. Many local and regional transportation agencies are recognizing this need and developing a master plan or safety action plan to improve the city’s bicycle and walking facilities. This study examines bicycle travel demands and travel patterns in Lexington, Kentucky as generated by SPIN

This paper extends the scope of Earnings per share ("EPS") studies by incorporating Bushman et al.

Informed participants are having a keener edger over average investors in using EPS as a guide to investment value. EPS signals a summary measure of firm performance to market participants. The market reactions to EPS and change in per share earnings provide a distinct opportunity to gauge the

Abstract:

This thesis explores how alcohol companies use representations of men to develop ‘brand masculinities’ in order to sell their alcohol products in Thailand. The thesis argues that companies are using brand masculinities in order to achieve market dominance. As a result, companies seek to instil particular values, such as loyalty to the monarchy, Thai nationalism, inspirational capitalism, cosmopolitanism and following Buddhist traditional norms, in order to appeal to men across Thai society. To explore this process, the thesis draws upon two case studies of the leading Thai beer brands, Singha

Tolerance for shame-related distress, or shame tolerance, has been associated with other forms of psychopathology (Schoenleber & Berenbaum, 2010, 2012), and may serve to moderate the relationship between internalized shame and SUD treatment outcomes.

Worldwide deposits of oil shales are thought to represent ~3 trillion barrels of oil. Jordanian oil shale deposits are extensive and high quality, and could represent 100 billion barrels of oil, leading to much interest in the development of deposits. The exploitation of oil shales has raised a number of environmental concerns including: land use, water consumption, gaseous emissions and spent oil shale disposal. To understand the environmental impact of spent oil shale, a study was conducted in Lothian, Scotland, providing a unique opportunity to examine the weathering process on aged deposit

Safety should be reached in all the situations since motorists and bicyclists share the same space on the road.

Abstract:

Central to this research are the interactions that take place between cyclists and pedestrians on shared-use paths and the impact of these on journey experiences. This research proposes that as active travel is promoted and as walking and cycling targets are set in the UK, there is a potential for levels of active travel to increase; putting pressure on shared-use paths, and potentially degrading journey experiences. Previous research on shared-use paths focuses on the observable aspects of shared path relations, such as visible collisions and conflict. However, this thesis suggests that it is

Recent decades have seen many localities revisiting traditional town center-style development as a response to problems caused by sprawl. In some cases, these more compact developments occur in areas that are otherwise primarily suburban in character. Of the many facets of these developments, parking has one of the largest impacts on the compactness, walkability, and accessibility of those developments, but little information, academic or otherwise, exists to inform the planning of parking for mixed-use projects in an otherwise suburban environment. Many localities rely on zoning-based parking

The use of the genetic algorithm for shape recognition has been investigated in relation to features along a shape boundary contour. Various methods for encoding chromosomes were investigated, the most successful of which led to the development of a new technique to input normalised 'perceptually important point' features from the contour into a genetic algorithm. Chromosomes evolve with genes defining various ways of 'observing' different parts of the contour.

Abstract:

This thesis is about nursing work and the ways in which nurses in a general hospital accomplished occupational jurisdiction. It is based on ethnographic data generated on a surgical ward and a medical ward in a single NHS trust hospital. The study is set in the context of recent developments in nursing and medical education (DHSS, 1987; GMC, 1993; UKCC, 1987) and health policy (DH, 1989) which have created the impetus for shifts in the division of labour in health care, reviving deep-rooted historical tensions between professional and service versions of nursing. Drawing on the work of Hughes

Abstract:

Technology needs to be designed considering various usage contexts. Today many parents use social media.

Abstract:

Greywater (GW) recycling for non-potable uses (e.g. urinal and toilet flushing) provides an urban water management strategy to help alleviate this risk by reducing mains water demands. The research described in this thesis proposes scenarios for an innovative cross-connected system that collects GW from residential buildings and recycles it for toilet/urinal flushing in both residential and office buildings. The capital cost (CAPEX), operational cost (OPEX), the carbon costs (embodied and operational), and water saving potential are calculated for individual block of residential and office bui
