20th Century Publications On Cost Accounting By Spanish Authors Previous To The Standardization Act (1900-1978), Daniel Carrasco Diaz, Esteban Hernandez Esteve, Maria Jesus Morales Caparros, Daniel Sanchez Toledano Jan 2009

20th Century Publications On Cost Accounting By Spanish Authors Previous To The Standardization Act (1900-1978), Daniel Carrasco Diaz, Esteban Hernandez Esteve, Maria Jesus Morales Caparros, Daniel Sanchez Toledano

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper aims to describe and explain the beginning and evolution of cost accounting in Spain through the examination of accounting texts. In this evolution, three periods are distinguished: the late 19th century, the first half of the 20th century, and 1951-1978. In 1978, the official standardization of Spanish cost accounting occurred. Cost accounting first appeared in Spanish texts at the start of the 20th century. However, in 19th century accounting treatises can be found references to some aspects of cost accounting to which the paper refers. The traditional orientation of authors in the second period clearly reflects a monistic …


Accounting And Control In The Persepolis Fortification Tablets, Gloria Vollmers Jan 2009

Accounting And Control In The Persepolis Fortification Tablets, Gloria Vollmers

Accounting Historians Journal

The bookkeeping records collected and retained by accountants of the Persian Empire centered at Persepolis from 509-494 B.C. are examined in this paper. A powerful bureaucracy exercised control over foodstuffs to supply an immense number of royal and state personnel and workers with their ration needs. A sophisticated accounting system facilitated this control, making visible not only the quantities of food assets distributed but also the locations and individuals responsible for these distributions.

Graph Theoretical Problems Computable By Networks Of Finite Automata., Cameron Taylor Byrum Jan 2009

Graph Theoretical Problems Computable By Networks Of Finite Automata., Cameron Taylor Byrum

Honors Theses

Graphs are a popular model in mathematics, and automata, or abstract models of machines, are a useful tool in computer science. Our research looks at combining these two powerful fields. We will begin by looking at some pre liminaries of graph theory and automata theory. We also discuss other meth ods for recognizing graph properties such as algebras, grammars, and monadic second-order logic. We will then explore the concept of “intelligent graphs,” or networks of finite automata operating at each vertex of a graph, and we will show implementations for using such networks to solve labryinth problems and to compute …

Hadwiger's Conjecture Applied To Mycielski And Kneser Graphs, Anne Marie Nicholas Jan 2009

Hadwiger's Conjecture Applied To Mycielski And Kneser Graphs, Anne Marie Nicholas

Honors Theses

Graph theory is the study of graphs that represent a specific relation between pairs of objects from a collection. The objects are represented by vertices that are connected by edges defining the existence of such relation ship. A crucial result in graph theory, the Four Color Theorem, was first proposed in 1852 by Francis Guthrie but was not proven until 1976 by Ken neth Appel and Wolfgang Haken. The Four Color Theorem says that any graph on a plane is four colorable. Then in 1943 Hugo Hadwiger presented generalization of the Four Color Theorem which is still an important and …


On Generalized Mersenne And Fermat Primes, Bette Catherine Putnam Jan 2009

On Generalized Mersenne And Fermat Primes, Bette Catherine Putnam

Honors Theses

The classical Merseniie and Fermat primes are, respectivel3^ primes of the form 2^' - 1 and 2^‘ + 1. The Mersenne primes have been studied since antiquity. It is known that if 2^ - 1 is prime then k is prime. As of September 2008, there are forty-six such primes known. Fermat primes, of the form 2^’ -h 1, seem to be more rare. It is known that if 2^' -I- 1 is prime, then k must be a power of 2. To date only 2“*^ -I- 1, 2^* -f 1, 2^^ -f-1, 2'^^ -t-1, and 2^^ -|-1 are known …

The University Of Mississippi's Role In The Presidential Election, Sara Ann Ralph

Honors Theses

There are many ways to survey a population and analyze the data. Our research applies these techniques to a real world situation, specifically the out come of the 2008 Presidential Election. We will examine current sampling techniques, as well as look at past presidential predictions. Then we will con duct our own survey on the Oxford Campus of the University of Mississippi in an attempt to see what will have an effect on the voting patterns of the population.


The Ontology Of Number, Garrett Michael Strickland Jan 2009

The Ontology Of Number, Garrett Michael Strickland

Honors Theses

In this thesis, I hope to offer a historical summary of the discussion of the ontology of number. I will begin with the origins of the argument, focusing primarily on the first two major players, Plato and Aristotle, and I will continue to the major players and positions of the debate as it stands today. This done, I will give some of my own insights and impressions on the subject, and I will discuss which, if any, of the positions seem acceptable and why.


Cost Benefit Analysis: A Policy Tool Of Anthropocentric Utilitarianism, Nora Anne Watson Jan 2009

Cost Benefit Analysis: A Policy Tool Of Anthropocentric Utilitarianism, Nora Anne Watson

Honors Theses

For the last three decades, there has been a lively debate over the best way for a govemapproach decisions of environmental policy. Adherents to anthropocentric utilitari anism - those who believe that actions are right as they tend to promote utility for humans - favor the use of cost-benefit analysis - a tool that is used to come up with recommendations the basis of their probable costs and ment to for or against particular environmental policies benefits. Although making decisions this way may seem like a straightforward approach that should be acceptable to everyone, many challenge the latent assumptions of …

The Grothendieck Property For Injective Tensor Products, Qingying Bu Nov 2008

The Grothendieck Property For Injective Tensor Products, Qingying Bu

Analysis Seminar

Let �� ⊗ �� denote the injective tensor product of Banach spaces �� and ��. (a) Suppose that either �� or �� has the Radon-Nikodym property and that either ��** or ��** has the approximation property. If both �� and �� have the Grothendieck property and each continuous linear operator from ��* to ��** is compact, then �� ⊗ �� has the Grothendieck property. (b) Suppose that �� is a reflexive space with an unconditional finite-dimensional decomposition and �� has the Grothendieck property. Then �� ⊗ �� has the Grothendieck property if and only if each continuous linear operator from …

A Characterization Of The Centers Of Chordal Graphs, James Shook Oct 2008

A Characterization Of The Centers Of Chordal Graphs, James Shook

Combinatorics Seminar

A graph is chordal if it does not have any induced cycles with length greater than three. The distance d(xy) is the length of the shortest path from x to y. The eccentricity of graph is (x) = maxd(xy)y V(G) and its radius and diameter are de ned respectively as Rad(G) = min (x)x V(G) and Diam(G) = max (x)x V(G) . The subgraph induced by all vertices of G with eccentricity equal to the radius is called the center of G. This paper presents a short and simple characterization of the centers of chordal graphs.


Vector Lattices In Boolean Algebras, Gerard Buskes Oct 2008

Vector Lattices In Boolean Algebras, Gerard Buskes

Analysis Seminar

The theory of Boolean algebras has been used extensively to study aspects of the theory of vector lattices. In this talk, we show how, in turn, the theory of vector lattices can be applied to study Boolean algebras. In particular, we will present a proof of the classical Loomis-Sikorski Theorem in that context.
