Historical Cost Earnings Versus Inflation-Adjusted Earnings in the Dividend Decision,' Financial Analysts Journal, March/April 1983, pp. 3-12.
No full textWe examine the impact of inflation of Earnings and consequently on dividend policy. We find that dividend policy based on historical earnings to be more effective than dividend policy based on inflation adjusted (real) earnings
Author Lev Raphael reads from his work at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textInternationally acclaimed author and Greater Lansing resident, Lev Raphael, reads from his memoir "My Germany". He recounts his travels to the NAZI labor camp where his mother was held during World War II and coming to terms with his mother's traumatic past. Introduced by Michigan State University Librarian Michael Rodriguez at an event held at the MSU Main Library. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series
Selected papers of Lev P Gor'kov
No full textThe author of this unique volume, Lev P Gor'kov is internationally renowned for his seminal contribution in the fundamentals of the Theory of Superconductivity, Theory of Metals, the field of Quantum Statistical Physics, and more generally, Organic Metals and the like. Each reprints' group is preceded by the author's introductions and commentaries clarifying the formulation of a problem, summarizing the essence of the results and placing them in the context of recent developments. The author belongs to the last generation of scientists who were the direct disciples of the legendary Russian theorist Lev Landau. And Gor'kov's achievements reflect the unique style and the originality of this famous Scientific School. As with other Russian scientists of his generation, many of the pioneering papers by Lev Gor'kov have been published in the Russian journals that are hard-to-reach for modern readers, students and postdocs. Allowing readers a glimpse into the various ways that the field of condensed matter physics was evolving for more than half a century, the volume is a valuable source for historians of science.Readership: For researchers in condensed matter physics, including postdoctoral and advanced graduate students. It may also be of interest to historians of science, as well as the general public with a university level of education
An Alternative to the Bar-Lev, Bobovitch, and Boukai Randomized Response Model
No full textIn this article, an alternative randomized response model is proposed. The proposed model is found to be more efficient than the randomized response model studied by Bar-Lev, Bobovitch, and Boukai (2004). The relative efficiency of the proposed model is studied with respect to the Bar-Lev et al. (2004) model under various situations.randomized response sampling; estimation of population total; sensitive quantitative variable

The class of the affine line is a zero divisor in the Grothendieck ring
No full textWe show that the class of the affine line is a zero divisor in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties over complex numbers. The argument is based on the Pfaffian-Grassmannian double mirror correspondence.Peer reviewe
Key-Consonant Theory Applied to Chinese
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (page 22).This thesis was written with non-native learners of Chinese in mind. Learning a foreign language, such as Chinese, is challenging. One of the most challenging aspects of learning a language is acquiring vocabulary. We simply do not just memorize words in dictionaries. Acquiring vocabulary involves meaningful and repeated interactions with the target words. It requires what Decarrico (2001) calls deep level processing. Instructors have a difficult task: when teaching vocabulary, they must encourage deep level processing, which helps students retain what they learn. \ud
Key-Consonant Theory evolved out of one language instructor???s desire to help his students with the challenging task of learning vocabulary. Bar-Lev???s theory states that Key-consonants are Semantic Keys, or ???Determinatives,??? giving a helpful hint about the whole word???s meaning
A simple way of improving the Bar–Lev, Bobovitch and Boukai Randomized response model
No full textEichhorn & Hayre (1983) considered a randomized response procedure suitable for estimating the mean response, when the sensitive variable under investigation is quantitative in nature. They have obtained an estimate for the mean of the quantitative response variable under investigation and studied its properties. Bar–Lev et al. (2004) have suggested an alternative procedure, which use a design parameter (controlled by the experimenter) that generalizes Eichhorn & Hayre’s (1983) results. They have also proved that the estimator proposed by them has uniformly smaller variance as compared to that of Eichhorn & Hayre (1983) in certain condition. In this paper we have suggested a simple procedure of improving the Eichhorn & Hayre (1983) and Bar–Lev et al. (2004) models along with its properties. It has been shown that the proposed procedure is uniformly better than Bar–Lev et al. (2004) procedure. The proposed procedure is also uniformly better than Eichhorn and Hayre’s (1983) procedure under the same condition in which the Bar–Lev et al.’s (2004) procedure is more efficient than Eichhorn & Hayre’s (1983) procedure. Numerical illustration is given in support of the present study
Use of Two Variables Having Common Mean to Improve the Bar-Lev, Bobovitch and Boukai Randomized Response Model
No full textA new method to improve the randomized response model due to Bar-Lev, Bobovitch and Boukai (2004) is suggested. It has been observed that if two sensitive (or non sensitive) variables exist that are related to the main study sensitive variable, then those variables could be used to construct ratio type adjustments to the usual estimator of the population mean of a sensitive variable due to Bar-Lev, Bobovitch and Boukai (2004).The relative efficiency of the proposed estimators is studied with respect to the Bar-Lev, Bobovitch and Boukai (2004) models under different situations
