A duality result for almost split sequences
No full textOver an artinian hereditary ring R, we discuss how the existence of almost split sequences starting at the indecomposable non-injective preprojective right R-modules is related to the existence of almost split sequences ending at the indecomposable non-projective preinjective left R-modules. This answers a question raised by Simson in [27] in connection with pure semisimple rings

Financial Analysis of Company Valenta ZT s.r.o.
No full textCílem mé práce je zhodnotit finanční zdraví výrobního podniku Valenta ZT s. r. o. Za pomocí veřejně dostupných zdrojů provedu finanční analýzu, která bude přínosná nejen pro vedení společnosti, případně i pro subjekty s ní spojené. Analýza bude provedena v období 2011-2015. Práce je rozdělena na část teoretickou a část praktickou. V teoretické části popíši problematiku a nástroje finanční analýzy. V části praktické představím analyzovanou společnost, dále pak odvětví, ve kterém se podnik nachází a zpracuji finanční analýzu. Na závěr jednotlivé výstupy ohodnotím a navrhnu případná opatření.The target of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the financial health of manufacturing company Valenta ZT s.r.o. I shall do a financial analysis while using publicly available sources and documents. This analysis should be useful not only for the company itself, but also for other subjects connected with it. The analysis covers the period between years 2011 and 2015. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part, theoretical, will describe the matters and tools of financial analysis. Second, practical part, shall present the company and also the field in which the company operates. Financial analysis will also be presented in this second part. At the end of this thesis I shall evaluate the outcome of the analy-sis and propose few possible steps for the company
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
The immunoglobulin-like modules Cε3 and α2 are the minimal units necessary for human IgE-FcεRI interaction
No full textAtopic allergy is a genetically determined immunodisorder that affects almost 20% of the population worldwide. Immediate symptoms of type I allergy are caused by the release of biologic mediators from effector cells induced by IgE-allergen complexes that cross-link the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI). Chronic disease manifestations result from allergen-specific T-cell activation, a process that is enhanced when allergens are presented via FcepsilonRI-bound IgE. We report the baculovirus expression, as soluble recombinant proteins, of the minimal units required for human IgE and FcepsilonRI interaction: Cepsilon3 represents the third constant domain of the IgE heavy chain, and alpha2 is the membrane-proximal Ig-like module from FcepsilonRIalpha. Native overlay experiments showed binding of human FcepsilonRIalpha to recombinant Cepsilon3 and of natural or recombinant human IgE to recombinant alpha2. Moreover, recombinant Cepsilon3 inhibited binding of natural IgE antibodies to alpha2, and preincubation of human IgE with alpha2 inhibited anti-IgE-triggered histamine release from human basophils. Isolated Cepsilon3 and alpha2 can now be used for the molecular and structural analysis of the IgE-FcepsilonRI interaction, as well as for diagnostic and therapeutic applications

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Rev. Marcus A. Valenta, pastor of St. Francesco di Paula Church, addressing the crowd during riot in Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio, Texas, 1939

Father Valenta later led a crowd of 2000 or more to Alamo where Lord's prayer was said.''''San Antonio Saturday surveyed the havoc wrought in the greatest exhibition of mob violence and vandalism in the city's history--caused by a meeting of a handful of Communists in the Municipal Auditorium. In the wake of the mass hysteria participated in by a crowd of 10,000 Friday night, were 17 identified injured....The demonstration, brought on when veterans' and other organizations condemned action of the city in granting a permit to the Communist party for a rally in a structure dedicated as a war memorial, was led by teenage youths and a sprinkling of veterans....Father Valenta, seeking to disperse the angry mob, mounted to a balcony in the front part of the building and began pleading with the crowd....Failing in this attempt, he went to the front of the building and led the mob inside as a door at the main entrance was broken open....''(August 26) ; ''....Prominent in the affair at the auditorium Friday night were: The Rev.
