Abstract:
Mergers and Acquisitions deals that create value constitute at least one or a combination of financial and operational synergy. This paper investigates the effect of synergy on financial performance of merged institutions in the financial services sector in Kenya. The paper adopted a mixed research design, pre and post-merger secondary data was collected from 40 (forty) institutions in the Kenyan financial services industry that had concluded their merger processes by 31 December 2013. Financial synergy was proxied using the liquidity ratio while operating synergy was measured using growth in sales. Primary data was used to explain the results of the secondary data. Panel data analysis was used to determine the change in the study variables and trends over time between 2009 and 2013, event window (pre-merger and post-merger) analysis was used to test for any significant difference in performance means before and after merger as a result synergy, while regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between synergy and profitability. Results show that there is a positive relationship between performance, operating synergy and financial synergy, and that there was significant improvement in performance post-merger. From these findings, the study recommends that institutions should critically evaluate the overall business and operational compatibility of the merging institutions and focus on capturing long-term financial synergies as this has a positive effect on the performance.

Abstract:
The wide use of pumps and turbines has significant value in energy conservation and utilization. In this work, a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and a one-dimensional theoretical model of a Pump as Turbine (PAT) were established. On this basis, the correlation between pressure and velocity was quantitatively investigated by a proposed sensitivity index (SPV). A synergy field analysis was then applied to evaluate the flow characteristics of a pump and PAT, providing a perspective from the mechanism of the energy transfer enhancement for hydraulic devices. Moreover, the hydraulic and synergy performances of PAT were studied under various operating conditions. The results show that the minimum SPV is obtained in the impeller. With increasing flow rate, the SPV of the PAT generally increases, and the synergy angle of the impeller surface increases as well. A strong disordered synergy field is observed in regions of the blade leading edge, trailing edge, and volute tongue. The variations in efficiency and head with flow rate showed similar trends, respectively, with the synergy angle of the outlet and the mid-plane. This study provides an analytical method for quantitative evaluation of flow synergy characteristics, and it supplies a basis for further design improvement of the pump and PAT.

Abstract:
Diversified industrial combination of state-owned enterprise is often not optimal, it can also maintain in the industry boom, but once the main market atrophy, the entire firm’s development will be in trouble, such as coal business groups. To solve this problem, this paper use industrial synergy as an intermediary variable and develop the traditional dualism, which is the relationship between diversification and firm performance, to trialism, which are relationships among diversification, industrial synergy and firm performance and take coal enterprises listing Corporations as an example to analyze relationships of above three points. Results show vertical business synergy in related diversification and horizontal function synergy in unrelated diversification are all have a significant positive impact on firm performance. This conclusion is confirmed the important hypothesis in theory that industrial synergy will promote firm performance and has important practical significance to guide state-owned enterprises’ management practice.

Abstract:
The main objective of this paper is to establish a mathematical framework to analyze the complex material and energy performance of the calcinations process based on the fundamental mass and energy conservations. The synergy degree of vital order parameters was defined and evaluated to assess the status and order of the calcination process. Furthermore, the synergy model for resource utilization and energy saving has also been developed. The results show that the energy efficiencies of the drying kiln, rotary kiln, incinerator and the cooler are 63.574%, 37.709%, 76.782% and 74.758%, respectively. Meanwhile, the synergy degree of the whole calcination system is determined as 0.507. Based on the result, several suggestions were proposed to improve the resource utilization, energy-saving and synergy performance. Assessing the performance of suggested improvements, the synergy degree was re-evaluated and recorded a substantial enhancement up to 0.809. The present work provides valuable insights and comprehensive analysis tool for assessing the performance and potential optimization of the calcination process.

Abstract:
A procedure for the enhancement of alternating current field measurement (ACFM) detection performance is proposed based on a multi-parameter synergy analysis (MPSA) algorithm. Firstly, to gain the maximised ACFM signal characteristics, wavelet base property matching is adopted to choose the favourable wavelet bases. To this aim, the following six base properties should be considered: orthogonality, compact support, symmetry, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), vanishing moment and regularity. It is found that the applicable wavelet bases are Haar, Daubechies (DbN), Symlets (SymN) and Coiflets (CoifN). Secondly, the MPSA method is applied to select the optimal mother wavelet candidates. The candidate with the largest MPSA index value is regarded as the optimum wavelet base. Finally, the proposed MPSA denoising strategy is demonstrated using an ACFM experiment. The results indicate that wavelets Db4 with decomposition level (DL)9 and Sym7 with DL8 are most appropriate for x- and z-axis ACFM signal denoising, respectively. The enhanced ACFM detection performance is experimentally verified and it is found that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is increased by 33.8 dB and 26.7 dB for the x- and z-axis signal, respectively.

Abstract:
This paper mainly explores the numerical simulation of flow and temperature fields in the shell-side of the radial heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE), using CFD software-FLUENT. Field synergy principle is applied to analyze heat and mass transfer mechanism of heat exchangers; also, the influence of the variation of principle constructor parameters of heat exchangers on the field synergy effect and heat exchange performance has been studied. It has been found that better performance of heat exchangers is achieved with better field synergy effect; in the context of increasing transverse and longitudinal tube pitches within certain values of data, the heat transfer coefficient decreases as synergy angle increases. Variation of fin height has little effect on synergy angle, but it would decrease the heat transfer coefficient at unit pressure drop (k/Δp) as it increases; as fin pitch increases, the synergy angle first decreases and then grows, while k/Δp first increases and then decreases. The optimal ranges of heat exchanger structure parameters values were found.

Abstract:
This paper investigates a relative coupling control strategy based on the sliding mode controller to solve the problem of poor synergy performance of the axes of the dynamic seat during operation and to realize the multiaxis servo synergic control with variable proportions during the operation of the system. Firstly, the proposed method is theoretically proven to be accurate in eliminating tracking errors and synchronization errors between servos in the process of system operation. Secondly, the system simulation model is built in the Simulink simulation environment of MATLAB. On one hand, the final simulation result verifies the accuracy of the theoretical proof. On the other hand, the control strategy is characterized by fast convergence, high synchronization accuracy, and strong robustness; thus, the system has excellent synergy performance. Finally, the motion control platform of the dynamic seat was built for physical verification. The experimental result shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the control strategy.

Abstract:
Performance management is tied to external forces and stakeholders whose assessment of performance is more focused on societal outcomes than purely financial outcomes. Government, corporate, and even personal performance measurement should take into account societal indicators that link these disparate yet intertwined spheres of influence. New initiatives in both government and commercial sectors are bringing greater understanding of how societal indicators can measure performance. This paper highlights how societal indicators are used to measure performance in corporate and government sectors. Corporate societal indicators are explored primarily though literary research. Government societal indicators are explored through an examination of the EPA and Superfund program. The paper demonstrates that there is synergy between corporate, government, and personal government performance measures and how business intelligence tools are making these relationships more transparent.

Abstract:
Theory suggests that synergy is an essential ingredientfor value creation to occur as a result of acquisitions. This dominant theory often argues for similarities among resources in the acquiring and targetfirms. However; it is argued here that uniquely valuable synergy might be created where differences (versus similarities) exist between resources in the acquiring and target firms. Tests of these competing hypotheses confirmed that differences contributed significantly to performance in the mergedfirm. Thisfinding may suggest that traditional distinctions between related and unrelated mergers may not be as useful as once thought. A focus on specific resources rather than strategy types in the merger and acquisition research may better explain firm performance.

Intergenerational synergy and thus the exchange of knowledge, is the key element in the implementation of various tasks, finding solutions, obtaining and exchanging important information. The main aim of the paper is to present intergenerational synergy and to determine the impact of intergenerational synergy on the work engagement of employees in large and medium-sized companies in Slovenia. In the empirical research 407 companies and 814 employees were included by random sampling. Research results revealed that employers on general pay attention to intergenerational synergy in companies in Slovenia, but there are still opportunities to raise awareness among employers about intergenerational synergy and their emphasis on intergenerational synergy for better performance of business operations, such as sales activities to customers of different age profiles, and similar. Results also suggest that intergenerational synergy in companies has a statistically significant positive impact on the work engagement of employees in large and medium-sized companies in Slovenia. In this context, an appropriate environment should be created to respect the diversity of the workforce.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a novel muscle synergy extraction method based on multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) to overcome the limitation of the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) method for extracting non-sparse muscle synergy, and we study its potential application for evaluating motor function of stroke survivors. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is the most widely used method for muscle synergy extraction. However, NMF is susceptible to components’ sparseness and usually provides inferior reliability, which significantly limits the promotion of muscle synergy. In this study, MCR-ALS was employed to extract muscle synergy from electromyography (EMG) data. Its performance was compared with two other matrix factorization algorithms, NMF and self-modeling mixture analysis (SMMA). Simulated data sets were utilized to explore the influences of the sparseness and noise on the extracted synergies. As a result, the synergies estimated by MCR-ALS were the most similar to true synergies as compared with SMMA and NMF. MCR-ALS was used to analyze the muscle synergy characteristics of upper limb movements performed by healthy (n = 11) and stroke (n = 5) subjects. The repeatability and intra-subject consistency were used to evaluate the performance of MCR-ALS. As a result, MCR-ALS provided much higher repeatability and intra-subject consistency as compared with NMF, which were important for the reliability of the motor function evaluation. The stroke subjects had lower intra-subject consistency and seemingly had more synergies as compared with the healthy subjects. Thus, MCR-ALS is a promising muscle synergy analysis method for motor function evaluation of stroke patients.

Abstract:
The muscle synergy hypothesis posits that the central nervous system simplifies motor control by grouping muscles into modules. Current techniques use dimensionality reduction, such that the identified synergies reconstruct 90% of the muscle activity. We show that residual muscle activity following such identification can have a large systematic effect on movements, even when the number of synergies approaches the number of muscles. Current synergy extraction techniques must therefore be updated to identify true physiological synergies.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-PA) producing Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) cause severe nosocomial infections with no defined treatment. Combination therapy with ceftazidime/ avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam (ATM) is a potential option, but there is no approved, feasible, synergy testing method for clinical labs to guide clinical decision making. Here, we evaluate the performance of 4 synergy testing methods using gradient-strips or disks. Methods We used 10 representative Enterobacterales strains, namely, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. cloacea, and 6 PA strains harboring MBL, GES or non-MBL enzymes (Fig 1). 4 strains were successfully treated with CZA-ATM in case reports, the rest were from the CDC AR Bank. Four synergy testing methods were evaluated, i) Disk stack (DS), ii) Disk elution (DE), iii) Gradient-strip Stack (SS), iv) Gradient-strip Cross (SX) (Fig 1). All methods were run side-by-side as per CLSI guidelines with broth microdilution (BMD) as the reference. Data is the mean of 3 replicates. Synergy is defined as a strain that is resistant (R) to ATM but drops to ≤ the susceptible (S) breakpoint (Table 1) in the presence of CZA (Fig 2). Categorical agreement (CA), very major error (VME), major error (ME), minor error (MI) were calculated across methods for CZA-ATM synergy relative to BMD. Summary of synergy testing methods evaluated CLSI Breakpoints used for this study Results All CRE with NDM and PA with GES were ATM-R, CZA-R and S to the CZA-ATM combination. PA with NDM or VIM remained R to CZA-ATM likely due to other mechanisms of resistance. CA was high for DE (100%), SS (81%, MI 19%), and SX (88%, MI 13%) but low for DS (25%, ME 54%, MI 31%). Representative strains are shown (Fig 2, Table 2). Removing PA, CA for DE, SS, and SX was 100% and 20% for DS. Representative results of strains with each synergy testing method. Representative data of strains displaying synergy (green) or no synergy (red) Conclusion Overall, DE was the most reliable method for CZA-ATM synergy testing, and could be a valuable tool in low-resource labs. SS and SX were reliable but prone to technical error. DS had the worst performance. Disks and gradient-strips had identical performance across brands. We propose an algorithm for ATM-R, CZA-R, and MBL-positive CRE, where CZA-ATM synergy testing may be beneficial to guide therapy. These methods are reliable qualitative indicators of the presence or absence of synergy. Synergy testing is not recommended for CR-PA due to complex resistance profiles. Disclosures Cesar A.

Abstract:
The NH3 uniformity and conversion rate produced by the urea–water solution spray system is an essential factor affecting de-NOx efficiency. In this work, a three-dimensional simulation model was developed with the CFD software and was employed to investigate the effects of two typical injection methods (wall injection and center injection) and three distribution strategies (pre-mixer, post-mixer, pre-mixer, and post-mixer) of two typical mixers on the urea conversion rate and uniformity. The field synergy principle was employed to analyze the heat transfer of different mixer flow fields. The results show that the single mixer has instability in optimizing different injection positions due to different injection methods and injection positions. The dual-mixer is stable in the optimization of the flow field under different conditions. The conclusion of the field synergy theory of the single mixer accords with the simulation result. The Fc of the dual-mixer cases is low, but the NH3 conversion and uniformity index rate are also improved due to the increase in the residence time of UWS.

Abstract:
PVDF flat UF membranes were optimized to get relative high protein rejection with high permeation fluxes. The effects of PVDF content and the additive species on the membrane performance were investigated. The synergy effect between LiCl and PEG8kcan increase the flux remarkably than the single additive. With the increase of PEG8kcontent, the synergy effect of LiCl decreased. In addition, when the PEG8kcontent was higher than LiCl, the pure water flux was relatively high, while with the increasing of LiCl content, the membrane tensile strength was increased. The addition of PEG8kand LiCl should constitute an appropriate method to prepare a series of membranes with controlled flux.

Abstract:
Muscle synergy is an important approach to evaluate motor function for patients with neurological diseases. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is the most widely used muscle synergy extraction method from electromyography (EMG) data. However, NMF usually falls into local optimum and is susceptible to noise, which significantly limit the promotion of muscle synergy. In this paper, a reliable synergy extraction method based on multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCRALS) was put forward. Its performance was compared with NMF through analyzing the EMG data of upper limb motor. The repeatability and intra-subject consistency were used to evaluate the two methods. As a result, MCR-ALS provided unique resolution result and better repeatability and consistency in contrast to NMF. Thus, the results of this study are of significance for the expansion and application of muscle synergy in medicine.

Abstract:
Research background: Interfunctional coordination (IFC) is a part of market orientation and at the same time an approach which helps to improve cooperation between different departments or functions in a company. Market orientation is an approach aimed at external and internal elements and activities leading to performance increase. Services offered by a manufacturer are activities complementing their products. Manufacturers can benefit from the service differentiation and use it to design alternative marketing strategies. Generally, IFC and services — contributes to higher positive effect on business performance. For this reason, it is interesting to know if synergy of IFC and services have a higher positive effect on business performance. Purpose of the article: This article aims to determine how IFC and services at manufacturing companies in the Czech Republic influence business performance. The research question is as follows: Does the synergy of IFC and services in companies producing electrical equipment and electronic components have a higher positive effect on business performance? Methods: Sixty SME’s filled in a questionnaire to gather information about IFC and services. For measurement of correlation for two variables, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was chosen. Regression analysis was used for measuring the synergy. Findings & Value added: The main finding shows that the synergy of the quantities observed has not been confirmed, although some of the following relations were approved such as a positive relationship between: a) some items of IFC and items of business performance, b) some items of services and items of business performance and c) items of IFC and items of services. The result of the paper shows further consequences of IFC and services in today’s manufacturing companies.

Abstract:
The literature on mergers and acquisitions reveal mixed findings with respect to synergy potential and cultural distance. While some researchers suggest that high cultural distance would lead to better performance, others suggest that low cultural distance would lead to better synergy and performance. I propose that the degree of relatedness between the two firms and the integration approach adopted by the management could be potential moderators in this relationship. The aim of this article is to explore which integration approach (absorption, preservation and symbiosis) would lead to maximum synergy in mergers and acquisitions of firms from related and unrelated industries. A review of literature and case studies on mergers and acquisitions was done to develop a framework for the same. Limitations and directions for future research have been discussed.
