Aplicação dos fractais ao mercado de capitais utilizando-se as Elliott Waves
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Esta pesquisa apresenta o método Elliott Waves de previsão dos próximos movimentos de preços no mercado financeiro sob o enfoque da teoria do caos e da complexidade, novas áreas da ciência que procuram entender o que a física newtoniana ainda não conseguiu explicar: o comportamento dos sistemas complexos. A possibilidade de conexão entre os mercados de capitais e as teorias do caos e da complexidade foi motivada pela descoberta do comportamento fractal das séries temporais de preços por Benoit Mandelbrot (1997) e pelos registros de repetições quase perfeitas de padrões fractais nos gráficos históricos de ações e mercadorias referentes à bolsa de valores Nova York e à bolsa de mercadorias de Chicago, feitos por Ralph Nelson Elliott e relatados por Robert Prechter (2000) e Glenn Neely (1990). Como alternativa à tradicional Hipótese dos Mercados Eficientes (HME), que está para a Economia assim como a mecânica de Newton está para a Física, a modelagem matemática através dos fractais produz resultados que acompanham as mudanças reais nos preços de uma maneira mais precisa e explicam o comportamento do mercado nos momentos de maior volatilidade. Enquanto os fractais Elliott baseiam-se em dados históricos para se prever acontecimentos futuros, a HME tem como uma de suas premissas a inexistência de memória nos mercados, ou seja, os preços variam aleatoriamente (distribuição de Gauss) e unicamente em função dos novos eventos econômicos, já que os eventos passados já foram totalmente assimilados pelo mercado e descontados nos preços atuais. A HME não corresponde à realidade dos mercados financeiros, o que foi comprovado por esta dissertação
Critical success factors in e-learning for small and medium enterprises
No full textIn 2008 the Ministry of Education in New Zealand funded a project titled Using e-learning to build workforce capability (Clayton, Elliott, Saravani, Greene & Huntington, 2008). During the project the team recognised the benefits of identifying those critical success factors (CSFs) a small or medium enterprise (SMEs; those with less than 100 employees) needed to address to ensure e-learning initiatives were implemented effectively and efficiently. Five critical success factors are identified, described and illustrated
Eugene Elliott, ROTC Award Acceptance Speech, 1965
No full textEugene Elliott served as Eastern Michigan University President, 1949-1965. This recording captures Elliott on the eve of retirement, accepting an award for outstanding performance from ROTC of EMU. Elliott discusses the importance of the ROTC program, and the great responsibility attached to military might. The recording, captured out of doors, is very windy at times.https://commons.emich.edu/speeches/1001/thumbnail.jp
Eugene B. Elliott, Inaugural Address, 1949
No full textEugene B. Elliott was inaugurated as Michigan State Normal College President in 1949, and served until 1965. In his inaugural address, Elliott acknowledges his warm welcome from MSNC staff and administration before discussing the necessary “reconsecration” to the cause of education on the part of faculty and administration. This revisioning of the mission of MSNC, Elliott says, emphasizes teachers doing away with their “bags of tricks” used formerly to solve classroom problems, and instead utilizes flexibility and adaptability to move the institution and its students into the future. Elliott also speaks of the need for educated young people to halt the spread of totalitarianism around the globe.https://commons.emich.edu/speeches/1006/thumbnail.jp
Investigating early childhood education for sustainability : insights from history and literature
No full textSeemingly straightforward tasks often have a way of becoming complex. This was the case for our guest editorial team charged with creating Early Childhood Australia’s Best of Sustainability publication drawn from the the Australasian Journal of Early Childhood and Every Child. The complexities we encountered ranged from the varied terminologies and understandings of constructs such as education for sustainable development, environmental education and education for sustainability, through to the fundamental lack of published research on which to draw as the basis for a special issue. It is timely to explore these complexities as we face the global challenges of The Critical Decade (DCCEE, 2011) including rising sea levels, extreme weather events and food security. At a local level, the early childhood field in Australia is seeking to interpret sustainability with systemic support from the National Quality Standards(NQS) (ACECQA, 2011), while elsewhere environmental/sustainability education is encouraged through national curricula documents (for example, Singapore Ministry of Education, 2008; Swedish National Agency for Education,2010; Ministry of Education of Korea, 2011). Both The Critical Decade and the NQS provide imperatives to drive early childhood education’s engagement with sustainability. In other words, sustainability in early childhood education is no longer optional, but essential (Elliott, 2010). While some twenty years of advocacy has led to this somewhat subdued celebratory position, in this publication we do recognise the historical contexts that have led to early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS), as we (Elliott & Davis) phrase it, becoming almost ‘mainstream not marginal’ (Davis, 1999)— a stitching together of the isolated ‘patches of green’, first identified a decade ago by Elliott (NSW EPA, 2003). Here we weave together, through these articles, a story of the evolving history of ECEfS from our particular perspective. In so doing, we also acknowledge that there are other perspectives or ‘paths’ for this field as identified by Edwards and Cutter-McKenzie in their concluding paper to this compilation

Letter from Charles Elliott to James B. Finley & David Young
No full textIn this letter to Finley, Elliott summarizes communications he has had regarding the Plan of Separation. Elliott received Dr. Bond\u27s article concerning potential reunion of MEC and MECS. He immediately wrote to Bond suggesting that reunion now would virtually recall all the Church ever did against slavery in the Church and acknowledge the correctness of the Southern Movement. Bond wrote to Elliott stating that he agreed with Elliott, and would never compromise concerning the system of slavery. Elliott wrote back to Bond summarizing his current feelings regarding the Plan of Separation. -- The plan is unconstitutional and never adopted, since the Annual Conferences did not confirm the 1844 General Conference plan.

Elliott State Research Forest Timber Cruise, Oregon, 2015–2016
No full textThe Elliott State Forest, created in 1930 and now the Elliott State Research Forest, is 33,700 ha of rainforest located 10–32 km inland from North America's Pacific Ocean coast. Its location in the central part of the Oregon Coast Range (Oregon, United States) places the Elliott Forest at lower elevations in the central portion of the Pacific Temperate Rainforest, which are characterized by ecosystems having coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) as the dominant tree species. Red alder (Alnus rubra), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) are also abundant. The temperate climate (11–12 °C mean annual temperature, 1900–2800 mm year⁻¹ mean annual rainfall) supports rapid tree growth, with 40 year old dominant and co-dominant Douglas-fir reaching 35–40 m in height and 40–50 cm DBH (diameter at breast height). Due to infrequent stand replacing disturbances (often 200–800 year fire return intervals and rare large scale blowdown from strong mid-latitude cyclones), large trees exceed 65 m height and 100 cm DBH. Since portions of the Elliott Forest have never been commercially logged while other areas have been subject to intensive planted silviculture since 1955, the Elliott Forest contains stands with old, complex forest structures and wildtype genetics as well as young, plantation stands of trees with often some amount of selective breeding for sawtimber production. As part of the transition from the Elliott State Forest to the Elliott State Research Forest, about half of the Elliott Forest was randomly sampled by stratified timber cruising over the winter of 2015–16. The resulting cruise records, released in this dataset, are therefore of interest as they capture an unusually diverse range of Coast Range stand conditions
