Evolution Of Global Airline Strategic Alliance And Consolidation In The Twenty-First Century, Terence P. C. Fan, Laurence Vigeant-Langlois, Christine Geissler, Björn Bosler, Jan Wilmking

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Global airline strategic alliances have emerged since the late 1980s, and their number has slowly risen through the years. Will the number of such alliances continue to proliferate? Or will airlines consolidate with one another to form mega-carriers? In this paper, the likelihood of various airline consolidation and alliance development possibilities was examined based on a number of high-level trends and forces. The most probable near-term industry alliance and consolidation structure is described, accompanied with a probable path of evolution. These predictions have important implications for managers of strategic alliances, carriers who are currently in an alliance as well as …

Fitting A Square Peg Into A Round Hole: The Application Of Traditional Rules Of Law To Modern Technological Advancements In The Workplace, Gregory I. Rasin, Joseph P. Moan

Missouri Law Review

In the ever-changing technological environment, the transmission of information has become as simple and as quick as the click of a mouse or the touch of a button. However, the emergence and widespread use of computers, electronic mail, and the Internet in the workplace also has created challenges for employers, their attorneys, and the courts. Specifically, the courts are forced to apply traditional rules of law to modern technological advancements. The lack of symmetry between these two notions has created uncertainty for today’s employer. This Article discusses the impact of new technology on employment law, particularly in the areas of …

The Optimal Concentration Of Creditors, Ivo Welch, Arturo Bris

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

There are situations in which dispersed creditors (e.g., public creditors) have more difficulties and higher costs when collecting their claims in financial distress than concentrated creditors (e.g., banks). Under this assumption, our model predicts that measures of debt concentration relate [a] positively to creditors’ chosen aggregate debt collection expenditures; [b] positively to management’s chosen expenditures to avoid paying; [c] positively to total net litigation costs/waste in financial distress; and [d] positively to accomplished claim recovery by creditors (to which we present some preliminary favorable empirical evidence). Under additional assumptions, measures of debt concentration relate [e] positively to intrinsic firm quality; …

Differentiated Products Demand Systems From A Combination Of Micro And Macro Data: The New Car Market, Steven T. Berry, James Levinsohn, Ariel Pakes

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In this paper we provide an algorithm for estimating characteristic based demand models from alternative data sources, and apply it to new data on the market for passenger vehicles. We find that, provided care is taken in constructing the demand system and rich enough data are available, the characteristic based model can both rationalize existing results and provide realistic out of sample predictions.

Taylor Cone And Jetting From Liquid Droplets In Electrospinning Of Nanofibers, Alexander L. Yarin, S Koombhongse, Darrell Hyson Reneker

College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

Sessile and pendant droplets of polymer solutions acquire stable shapes when they are electrically charged by applying an electrical potential difference between the droplet and a flat plate, if the potential is not too large. These stable shapes result only from equilibrium of the electric forces and surface tension in the cases of inviscid, Newtonian, and viscoelastic liquids. In liquids with a nonrelaxing elastic force, that force also affects the shapes. It is widely assumed that when the critical potential phi (0*) has been reached and any further increase will destroy the equilibrium, the liquid body acquires a conical shape …

Ca4Iro6, Ca3Mgiro6 And Ca3Zniro6, Matthew J. Davis, Mark D. Smith, Hans Conrad Zur Loye

Faculty Publications

Single crystals of tetracalcium iridium hexaoxide, Ca₄IrO₆, tricalcium magnesium iridium hexaoxide, Ca₃MgIrO₆, and tricalcium zinc iridium hexaoxide, Ca₃ZnIrO₆, were prepared via high-temperature flux growth and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three compounds are isostructural and adopt the K₄CdCl₆ structure type, comprised of chains of alternating face-shared [CaO₆], [MgO₆] or [ZnO₆] trigonal prisms and [IrO₆] octahedra, surrounded by columns of Ca²⁺ ions.

Formula: Ca₄IrO₆, Ca_3.34Mg_0.66IrO₆ and …

“Closet Case”: Boy Scouts Of America V. Dale And The Reinforcement Of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, And Transgender Invisibility, Darren Lenard Hutchinson

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article argues that the Supreme Court's decision in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale misapplies and ignores controlling First Amendment precedent and incorrectly defines “sexual identity” as a clinical or biological imposition that exists apart from expression or speech. This Article provides a doctrinal alternative to Dale that would protect vital interests in both equality and liberty and that would not condition, as does Dale, sexual “equality” upon the silencing of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals.

This Article proceeds in five parts. Part I provides an introduction to the case and issues.Part II discusses the evolution of the …

Role Of Protein Kinase C-Delta In The Regulation Of Collagen Gene Expression In Scleroderma Fibroblasts, Sergio A. Jimenez, Svetlana Gaidarova, Biagio Saitta, Nora Sandorfi, David J. Herrich, Joan C. Rosenbloom, Umberto Kucich, William R. Abrams, Joel Rosenbloom

Selected Works of Sergio Jiménez, MD, MACR

Working with cultured dermal fibroblasts derived from control individuals and patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), we have examined the effects of protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta) on type I collagen biosynthesis and steady-state levels of COL1A1 and COL3A1 mRNAs. Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKC-delta, exerted a powerful, dose-dependent inhibition of type I and type III collagen gene expression in normal and SSc cells. Optimal rottlerin concentrations caused a 70-90% inhibition of type I collagen production, a >80% reduction in COL1A1 mRNA, and a >70% reduction in COL3A1 mRNA in both cell types. In vitro nuclear transcription assays and transient transfections …

A Note On Visualizing Response Transformations In Regression, R. Dennis Cook, David J. Olive

Articles and Preprints

A new graphical method for assessing parametric transformations of the response in linear regression is given. Simply regress the response variable Y on the predictors and find the fitted values. Then dynamically plot the transformed response Y^(λ) against those fitted values by varying the transformation parameter λ until the plot is linear. The method can also be used to assess the success of numerical response transformation methods and to discover influential observations. Modifications using robust estimators can be used as well.

The Type 2 Iodothyronine Deiodinase Is Essential For Adaptive Thermogenesis In Brown Adipose Tissue, Lucia A. De Jesus, Suzy D. Carvalho, Mirian O. Ribeiro, Mark Schneider, Sung-Woo Kim, John W. Harney, P. Reed Larsen, Antonio C. Bianco

Dartmouth Scholarship

Type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) is a selenoenzyme, the product of the recently cloned cAMP-dependent Dio2 gene, which increases 10- to 50-fold during cold stress only in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Here we report that despite a normal plasma 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) concentration, cold-exposed mice with targeted disruption of the Dio2 gene (Dio2^–/–) become hypothermic due to impaired BAT thermogenesis and survive by compensatory shivering with consequent acute weight loss. This occurs despite normal basal mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) concentration. In Dio2^–/– brown adipocytes, the acute norepinephrine-, CL316,243-, or forskolin-induced increases in lipolysis, UCP1 mRNA, and …

Acute Renal Failure In An Intensive Care Unit, Hatem O. Qutub, Ibrahiem A. Saeed

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clincal course and outcome of acute renal failure in an intensive care unit set-up. METHODS: All patients admitted to the intensive care until who developed acute renal failure were prospectively studied over a 3-year period from 1996 to 1999, at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They were investigated for the causes of their acute renal failure, given appropriate treatment and their course carefully documented until discharge from the intensive care unit. RESULTS: Forty-seven patients (29 male and 18 female) were studied. The majority were Saudis (81%). The age range …
