Underpricing of Homecoming A-Share IPOs by Chinese Firms Already Listed Abroad
No full textMany Chinese firms have pursued overseas listings in Hong Kong or U.S. without being first listed in China’s domestic market, mainly due to the regulatory constraints imposed by the Chinese government. Some of them eventually returned to mainland China through an A-share offering to Chinese investors. This unique feature of cross-listed Chinese stocks offers an experiment field to test some of the conventional theories of IPO underpricing. Homebound IPOs are expected to be less underpriced than domestic only IPOs that are not cross-listed because being already listed in a developed market can mitigate the information asymmetry and issue uncertainty associated with their A-share IPOs. Nevertheless, we find that homecoming A-share IPOs are still substantially underpriced, with an average market adjusted first day return of 96.53%. Furthermore, their first-day returns are not significantly different from those of domestic only IPOs once firm- and offer characteristics are controlled. This is in sharp contrast to the lukewarm aftermarket performance experienced in their overseas debuts. Overall, our results suggest the importance of local market structures and norms as influential factors of IPO underpricing
Successful Implementation of DMAIC for Pizzeria Restaurant
No full textThis paper proposes case study to improve process control of a service provider in food and beverage industry in this regard the study includes the analyses of the current system depicting the existing problems within the company. The study then analysis the cause of existing problems and designs a customized improvement methodology while establishing a sustainable process control. Creating an effective and sustainable process control methodology is also considered to improve the unexplained drop in sales. Strategies based on Six Sigma approach, DMAIC process control strategy have been followed to solve the demand supply related sales problems of the business

Post Soviet Evolution of Disability Supports In Kyrgyzstan-Central Asia: A Case Study
No full textFunding for disability services in Kyrgyzstan has undergone a drastic shift since the fall of the USSR. This explanatory case study presents one of only four public schools that educate students with disabilities in the country. This paper first describes the Soviet medical model classification system used in Central Asia, and then explains how services are provided. This historical case study presents how facilities, personnel, equipment, and curriculum have evolved since the fall of the Soviet Union. Techniques including cross age and ability grouping were found to be useful techniques to support students in schools faced with significant financial restrictions
Cost Analysis of 5th Generation Technology
No full textIn the global telecommunication manufacturing, the wireless telecommunication advertises is recognized as the wildest and the most dynamic growing sections over the past years. However, due to the science’s improvement, the modern world started to shrink. Also, the human’s technical requirements are enhancing over the time. Meanwhile, the new generations seem to be a merging of the existing technologies into a particular platform. However, as the internet generations started to be adapted and growth over the world and it can be used wherever the people go; so, Mobile access broadband is reality. 5G systems are the hottest topic to many researchers, although 4G systems are being deployed. Now a day, 5G is not being officially used yet by any company or calibration bodies as WiMAX Forum, ITU-R or 3GPP. Our main focus in this paper is to analyze the cost of both 4G and 5G and how the people can feel the progress with 5G but less price than 4G
Is Higher Bone Density in the Black Population Indicative of Higher Risk of Certain Cancers in That Population and Could that Be Use as a Prediction or Screening Factor for These Cancers

In general, It has been well studied and established that blacks have higher bone density than their white counterparts. It has also been well established that African Americans are at a much higher risk of developing certain cancers such as the deadliest form of breast cancers and uterine cancers when compared to Caucasian whites and Asians? This difference I believe could be due to a genetic polymorphism factor that exists between the human races in the makeup of the bones that determines not only bone density but also the predisposition of one race to a higher rate of certain cancers than other races. I believe that this difference could possibly be a predictive factor that could be use as a screening factor in determining a black female’s risk to cancer of the breast and uterine and a black male’s risk to prostate cancer
Novel Steganography Over HTML Code Process

Encryption techniques convert readable data into a ciphered form. Other techniques hide the message in another file, and some powerful techniques combine hiding and encryption concepts
A Comprehensive Review of Contributory and Potentially Therapeutic factors in Bladder Cancer
No full textThis thesis is being archived as a Digitized Shelf Copy for campus access to current students and staff only. We currently cannot provide this open access without the author's permission. If you are the author of this work and desire to provide it open access or wish access removed, please contact the Wahlstrom Library to discuss permission.This thesis is a comprehensive work of up to date research on the topic of bladder cancer. Until now there have only been published studies on individual subsets of contributory and preventative factors in the progression and avoidance of the disease respectively. By searching through PubMed, this work is a compilation of the most relevant research in order to provide a more holistic viewpoint on bladder cancer. This thesis will review the contributions and potential therapeutics to bladder cancer, analyzing diet and nutrition, lifestyle and behavior, occupational and environmental factors, pharmaceutical drugs, and genetics. There was an abundance of information in the most significant correlations being smoking and aromatic amines. There is a need for more comprehensive studies on diet and nutrition
Autonomous Solar Powered Suborbital Satellite
No full textWe are going to Launch an autonomous CanSat that consists of a container and a payload. The payload will deploy from the container and will gently descend and safely land one raw hen egg. CanSat will be launched in a rocket then deployed from it at an altitude of about 670 meters or higher. Upon deployment from rocket, container and payload shall descend at 12 meters per second using any passive descent control system. At an altitude of 500 meters, the payload shall be released from the container. Payload will free fall with a descent rate of 10 meters per second or less. Temperature and pressure data will be collected every second in each of the payload and container. Power must be harnessed from the environment. Thin sheets of solar cells will be used to harvest energy. A three-axis accelerometer will be used to measure the stability and angle of descent of the payload during descent. Data will be sent from the transmitter in bursts and retrieved at the ground station through a transceiver. All data will be displayed in real time and saved on a computer in the ground station
