Benford\u27s Law and the Impact of Director Blockholders
Get PDFThis presentation was given by a faculty member on Benford\u27s Law and it\u27s effects on management.
Benford\u27s Law is a mathematical law which relates to the leading digits of numbers in naturally occurring tables. The probability of the first digit equaling some number d is roughly equal to
= 10 (1 + 1 )
The probability of the second digit equaling some number d is roughly equal to
= σ=1 9 10 (1 + 1 10+)
Durtschi, Hillison, and Pacini (2004) – Analysis using Benford’s Law is primarily useful on sets composed of mathematical combinations of numbers. (Slide 3)https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rsc25pres/1000/thumbnail.jp
Particle-in-cell coupled with Monte-Carlo Collisions and external circuitry for low temperature plasma reactors
No full textLow-temperature plasma reactors used for chip fabrication involve complex physical processes that affect the quality of pattern transfer on the semiconductor substrate. Detailed investigations of the near-surface plasma environment require fully-kinetic approaches. We use a particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) approach coupled with external circuitry to model realistic operating conditions capture the kinetic effects and measure ion energy and angle distribution functions. We build on the exascale-capable PIC/MCC code, WarpX, and leverage Python interfaces to couple external circuitry. In this talk, we will demonstrate this inexpensive, non-iterative coupled strategy using a two-dimensional Gaseous Electronics Conference reference cell.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rsc25pres/1008/thumbnail.jp
The law of livelihoods: How legal frameworks shape migrants\u27 financial journeys
Get PDFThe financial lives of migrants reveal critical intersections between legal frameworks and socio-economic outcomes. Drawing on the findings of the Journeys Project, a qualitative study examining the financial health and trajectories of migrants in their countries of arrival, this article explores the role of laws and policies in shaping the financial health of migrants, addressing barriers such as documentation, legal status, and access to financial services. It proposes legal reforms and frameworks that foster environments where migrants can achieve financial stability and self-sufficiency, using firsthand accounts from the project’s financial biographies to highlight the human impact of these issues.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rsc25pres/1006/thumbnail.jp
Water Contaminant Analysis Using IC and FAAS
No full textWater in local areas contain contaminants that could be gathered from pollution, runoff, or even rain in public and private water systems. These water systems include potential aquifers, public water works, ponds, wells, lakes, etc. In this experiment, anion determination of −, 3 − , 4 2−, 4 3−, 3 −, 2 −, and 3 − in local and drinking water was used to determine if the local or drinking water is suitable for consumption through Ion Chromatography. A common metal, Potassium, +, was also determined in local and drinking water to determine if the potassium levels were suitable for consumption through Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos24/1047/thumbnail.jp
