No full text[[abstract]]The subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent financial tsunami have raised considerable concerns about financial risk management and evaluation. This is nowhere more apparent than in new economic firms (NEFs) with large economic targets and heavy R&D expenses, such as firms in the electronics industries. With its potential for extreme growth and superior profitability, the electronic industries in Taiwan have been in the financial stock market spotlight. Recently, the relevance vector machine (RVM) was reported to have considerably less computation complexity than support vector machines (SVM) models, since it uses fewer kernel functions. Another emerging technique is rough set theory (RST), which derives rules from data. Based on the corporation life cycle theory (CLC), this study developed a relevance vector machine with rough set theory (RVMRS) to predict the status of a corporation in the decline stage. To demonstrate the performance of the designed RVMRS model, the study used electronic industries data from the Taiwan Economic Journal data bank, Taiwan Security Exchange, and Securities and Futures Institute in Taiwan. Experimental results revealed that the presented RVMRS model can predict the decline stage in a firm's life cycle with satisfactory accuracy, and generate rules for investors, managers, bankers and regulators that enable them to make suitable judgments. In addition, this study proved that the transparency and information disclosure index (TDI) is crucial to predicting the financial decline of corporations.[[note]]SC

Pharmacokinetics, blood partition and protein binding of DA-7867, a new oxazolidinone
No full textThe pharmacokinetics after single intravenous and single and consecutive 2 week oral administration, tissue distribution, in vitro tissue metabolism, stability, blood partition and protein binding of DA-7867, a new oxazolidinone, were evaluated. After intravenous administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg to rats, DA-7867 was eliminated slowly with time-averaged total body clearance of 0.915 ml/min/kg. After consecutive 2 week oral administration at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day to rats, DA-7867 was accumulated in rats; the AUC was significantly greater (1430 versus 1880 mug min/ml) than that after single oral administration at a dose of 2mg/kg. The rat tissues studied had low affinity to DA-7867; the tissue-to-plasma ratios were smaller than unity after both intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 20 mg/kg. The rat tissues studied had almost negligible metabolic activity for DA-7867 based on 30 min incubation of DA-7867 with 9000g supernatant fraction of rat tissues. DA-7867 was stable for up to 24 h incubation in various buffer solutions having pHs from I to 11, Sorensen phosphate buffer of pH 7.4, and rat plasma, urine and liver homogenate and 3 h incubation in five human gastric juices. The binding of DA-7867 to 4% human serum albumin was 50.6% at DA-7867 concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 20mug/ml. The equilibrium of DA-7867 between plasma and blood cells of rabbit blood reached fast (within 30 s manual mixing), and the plasma-to-blood cell concentration ratios were independent of initial blood concentrations of DA-7867, 1-20 mug/ml; the values ranged from 1.39 to 1.63. Protein binding of DA-7867 in five fresh rats plasma was 72.3%. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
