Capital budgeting in investment and project appraisal / Wong Soon Heng
No full textThis article critically evaluates the relative attractions of the Net Present Value (NPV) method in capital budgeting. The author argues for the NPV method over the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method. The implications of inflation for
investment appraisal are discussed in the later part of this article. The author opines that in capital budgeting, particularly for projects with a long life, the inflation factor cannot be ignored

Near-capacity iterative decoding of binary self-concatenated codes using soft decision demapping and 3-D EXIT charts
No full textIn this paper 3-D Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts are used to design binary Self-Concatenated Convolutional Codes employing Iterative Decoding (SECCC-ID), exchanging extrinsic information with the soft-decision demapper to approach the channel capacity. Recursive Systematic Convolutional (RSC) codes are selected as constituent codes, an interleaver is used for randomising the extrinsic information exchange of the constituent codes, while a puncturer helps to increase the achievable bandwidth efficiency. The convergence behaviour of the decoder is analysed with the aid of bit-based 3-D EXIT charts, for accurately calculating the operating EbN0 threshold, especially when SP based soft demapper is employed. Finally, we propose an attractive system configuration, which is capable of operating within about 1 dB from the channel capacity
Modulation-Mode Assignment for SVD-Aided and BICM-Assisted Spatial Division Multiplexing
No full textIn this contribution the number of activated MIMO layers and the number of bits per symbol along with the appropriate allocation of the transmit power and the rate of the BICM error correcting codes are jointly optimized under the constraint of a given fixed data throughput. The performance investigations are carried out by computer simulations and confirmed by the EXIT charts. Our results show that not necessarily all MIMO layers have to be activated in order to achieve the best BERs

Vortex Dynamics in The Transitional and Turbulent Wake of 6:1 Prolate Spheroid at 45-deg incidence angle
No full textThe incompressible flow past a 6:1 prolate spheroid with an inclination angle of 45o at Re = 3,000 has been studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS). The Reynolds number is based on the inflow velocity and minor-axis length. The preliminary results presented here are focused mainly on vortex dynamics and vortical structures in the wake. The wake behind this configuration starts almost symmetric but is soon strongly deflected and bent as it evolves to the intermediate wake. A pair of unequal-strength vortices dominates the intermediate wake, of which one exhibits the shape of a long vortex tube while the other rapidly breaks down into turbulent-like vortical structures
Why Free College May Not Soon Happen - And Might Not Be The Most Pressing Challenge
No full textIn this analysis, the author argues why free college may not soon happen, and might not be the most pressing challenge in the United States. The author also inquires if the cost of attending college is really the main barrier to unlocking the documented benefits of higher education. In reality, the challenge and policy solutions may be more complex.Scholars Strategy Networ
