110 common errors in company valuations
No full textThis paper contains a classified collection of 110 errors seen in company valuations performed by financial analysts, investment banks and financial consultants. The author had access to most of the valuations referred to in this paper in his capacity as a consultant in company acquisitions, sales, mergers, and arbitrage processes. We classify the errors into six main categories: 1) errors in the discount rate calculation and concerning the riskiness of the company; 2) errors when calculating or forecasting the expected cash flows; 3) errors in the calculation of the residual value; 4) inconsistencies and conceptual errors; 5) errors when interpreting the valuation; and 6) organizational errors.company valuation; valuation errors; valuation;
An auditory dataset of passing vehicles recorded with a smartphone
No full textThe increase of smartphones over the past decade has contributed to distraction in traffic. However, smartphones could potentially be turned into an advantage by being able to detect whether a motorized vehicle is passing the smartphone user (e.g., a pedestrian or cyclist). Herein, we present a dataset of audio recordings of passing vehicles, made with a smartphone. Recordings were made of a passing passenger car and a scooter in various conditions (windy weather vs. calm weather, approaching from the front vs. from behind, 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m distance between smartphone and vehicle, vehicle driving with 30 vs. 50 km/h, and smartphone being stationary vs. moving with the cyclist). Data from an 8-microphone array, video recordings, and GPS data of vehicle position and speed are provided as well. Our present dataset may prove useful in the development of mobile apps that detect a passing motorized vehicle, or for transportation research.

Bilingual Grammar: Toward an Integrated Model
No full textPublished online 11 March 2024LUIS LÓPEZ, Bilingual Grammar: Toward an Integrated Model. Cambridge:
Cambridge UP, 2020. viii + 229 pp.
This monograph constitutes an indispensable source of information for those interested
in bilingualism, (formal) grammar, psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience
of language and, more generally, second language acquisition studies. It aims to construct
a plausible theory of bilingualism built upon solid linguistic arguments, which
borrow particular inspiration from the research practices in Distributed Morphology
(DM) (Alexiadou et al. Forthcoming; Halle and Marantz 1993) and, arguably the
latest version of generative syntax, the Minimalist Program (Boeckx 2006; 2011;
Chomsky 1991, 1993, 1995; Grohmann and Leivada Forthcoming; Hornstein Forthcoming;
Hornstein, Nunes, and Grohmann 2005). The volume is rounded off with
two appendices on the syntax of code-switching and the issue of the post-Creole continua
(193–205), a fairly extensive bibliographical apparatus (211–224) where the
interested reader can find further references to some of the studies alluded to in the
main text, and the usual index verborum (225–229) that facilitates the search of
specific technical terms. The notes from the main text are also included at the end
of the book, which, unfortunately, impedes fluent reading
Cash flow is cash and is a fact. Net income is just an opinion
No full textA company's profit after tax (or net income) is quite an arbitrary figure, obtained after assuming certain accounting hypotheses regarding expenses and revenues. On the other hand, its cash flow is an objective measure, a single figure that is not subject to any personal criterion. In general, to study a company's situation, it is more useful to operate with the cash flow (equity cash flow, free cash flow or capital cash flow) as it is a single figure, while the net income is one of several that can be obtained, depending on the criteria applied. Profit after tax (PAT) is equal to the equity cash flow when the company is not growing, buys fixed assets for an amount identical to depreciation, keeps debt constant, and only writes off or sells fully depreciated assets. Profit after tax (PAT) is also equal to the equity cash flow when the company collects in cash, pays in cash, holds no stock (this company's working capital requirements are zero), and buys fixed assets for an amount identical to depreciation. When making projections, the dividends and other forecast payments to shareholders must be exactly equal to expected equity cash flows.Cash flow; Net income; Equity cash flow; Free cash flow; Capital cash flow;

Bed composition generation for morphodynamic modeling: Case study of San Pablo Bay in California, USA
No full textApplications of process-based morphodynamic models are often constrained by limited availability of data on bed composition, which may have a considerable impact on the modeled morphodynamic development. One may even distinguish a period of “morphodynamic spin-up” in which the model generates the bed level according to some ill-defined initial bed composition rather than describing the realistic behavior of the system. The present paper proposes a methodology to generate bed composition of multiple sand and/or mud fractions that can act as the initial condition for the process-based numerical model Delft3D. The bed composition generation (BCG) run does not include bed level changes, but does permit the redistribution of multiple sediment fractions over the modeled domain. The model applies the concept of an active layer that may differ in sediment composition above an underlayer with fixed composition. In the case of a BCG run, the bed level is kept constant, whereas the bed composition can change. The approach is applied to San Pablo Bay in California, USA. Model results show that the BCG run reallocates sand and mud fractions over the model domain. Initially, a major sediment reallocation takes place, but development rates decrease in the longer term. Runs that take the outcome of a BCG run as a starting point lead to more gradual morphodynamic development. Sensitivity analysis shows the impact of variations in the morphological factor, the active layer thickness, and wind waves. An important but difficult to characterize criterion for a successful application of a BCG run is that it should not lead to a bed composition that fixes the bed so that it dominates the “natural” morphodynamic development of the system. Future research will focus on a decadal morphodynamic hindcast and comparison with measured bathymetries in San Pablo Bay so that the proposed methodology can be tested and optimized.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Presencia de Walt Whitman en la poesia de Pablo Neruda: la relacion entre Hojas de Hierba y Canto General
No full textDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 117-121).Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics.The objective of this investigation is to analyze the intertextual relationship between Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass and Pablo Neruda's Canto general. Through a comparison of psychoanalysis, semiotic theory and cognitive psychology, a literary model based on the concept of cognitive schemas is developed in order to delineate the reader-text dialogue and the dialogue between both texts (intercommunicability of texts). The author, reader, and "I", or textual poet, are deemed, as well as several negotiation tactics used by the textual poet to persuade the reader to attribute the same meaning to the text that he himself attributes to said text. The literary model is then utilized to analyze the dialogue between Leaves of Grass and Canto general. In Chapter IX of Canto general, the textual poet enunciates his call to peace to the North American proletariat, invoking not only the presence of the textual poet in Leaves of Grass but also images from the USSR, including Joseph Stalin. Although the juxtaposition of such contrary images and ideologies seems ironic, and although the textual poet threatens the very recipients of his call to peace with violence, a detailed study of the potential schemas in the text reveals a previous dialogue between the textual poets of Leaves of Grass and Canto general. In that dialogue, both textual poets negotiate the meaning of the image of Whitman appending in the work of the Chilean poet. Although the textual poet in Canto general does not adopt the eroticism in Leaves of Grass, the equality between erotic ideologies and the multinational perspective that the text proposes inspires him to adopt an egalitarian perspective and to construct his poetic space in such a way that any ideology with promises the possibility of equality and justice, and that opposes any and all socio-economic hierarchies, is capable of becoming an integral part of the structure of the poetic space. Whitman and Stalin both have a place in the poetic space of Canto general; although they represent distinct and even contrary ideologies, each seeks the peace and prosperity sought by the textual poet of Canto general
