Acquisitions By Partially Privitized Firms: The Case Of Deutsche Telekom And Voicestream, J. Gregory Sidak Dec 2001

Acquisitions By Partially Privitized Firms: The Case Of Deutsche Telekom And Voicestream, J. Gregory Sidak

Federal Communications Law Journal

A recent phenomenon in competition policy is the acquisition of a private firm by an enterprise that is either wholly owned by government or in the midst of privatization. Such an acquisition poses the question of how public ownership may alter the incentives of a firm to engage in anticompetitive conduct. It also prompts one to examine the process by which such altered incentives revert, as the level of government ownership declines, to the same incentives that face purely private firms. Using Deutsche Telekom's acquisition of VoiceStream Wireless as a case study, this Article presents the economic questions relevant to …


Chromospherically Active Stars. Xx. The Giant Single-Lined Binary Hd 161570, Francis C. Fekel, Gregory W. Henry, Stephen M. Henry Dec 2001

Chromospherically Active Stars. Xx. The Giant Single-Lined Binary Hd 161570, Francis C. Fekel, Gregory W. Henry, Stephen M. Henry

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

Spectroscopy of HD 161570 shows it to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 45.623 days and a nearly circular orbit. The primary star has spectral type G7 III, and the secondary is most likely a G or K dwarf. A high-resolution spectrum of the 3950 Å region confirms that the primary has Ca II H and K emission lines. The logarithm of the giant's lithium abundance is less than 0.9, indicating that it is not lithium-rich. From photometric observations covering six seasons, we detected periodic short-term light variability with an amplitude ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 mag. …

The Influence Of Firm Dispositions On Interfirm Relationship Formation In Business Markets, Jean L. Johnson, Ravipreet S. Sohi Dec 2001

The Influence Of Firm Dispositions On Interfirm Relationship Formation In Business Markets, Jean L. Johnson, Ravipreet S. Sohi

Department of Marketing: Faculty Publications

The central premise of this paper is that firm level characteristics or behavioral traits, referred to as predispositions, influence how the firm behaves and interacts in its interfirm relationships (EFRs). This augments traditional approaches that focus on the intra-relationship perspective and/or on environmental influences on the relationship. Firm predispositions of strategic intent and relational proclivity are expected to individually, and in combination, increase the extent of connectedness between partners in interfirm relationships. In turn, through connectedness, they affect relationship effectiveness in terms of reciprocity, information exchange, and cooperation. Results indicated that the predispositions increased connectedness, but combinational effects were not …


La Otra Imagen Del Indiano En Algunas Comedias De Lope De Vega, Ysla Campbell Dec 2001

La Otra Imagen Del Indiano En Algunas Comedias De Lope De Vega, Ysla Campbell

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

La figura del indiano reúne en la dramaturgia de Lope de Vega una serie de características que la alejan de la tipología tradicional del personaje en el teatro del Siglo de Oro. La autora, a través del análisis de diversos pasajes de varias comedias de Lope, establece que en ellas se pondera el esfuerzo y la discreción en el gasto para matizar la imagen tradicional negativa del indiano. En general, para el Fénix, la realidad es demasiado amplia y rica como para encasillarla en tales arquetipos. Nos proporciona una visión simpática del indiano, cuya limpieza de sangre e interés por …

Spectroscopic Ellipsometry And Electrical Studies Of As-Grown And Rapid Thermal Oxidized Si1−X−YGeXCY Films, W. K. Choi, W. Feng, L. K. Bera, Cary Y. Yang, J. Mi Dec 2001

Spectroscopic Ellipsometry And Electrical Studies Of As-Grown And Rapid Thermal Oxidized Si1−X−YGeXCY Films, W. K. Choi, W. Feng, L. K. Bera, Cary Y. Yang, J. Mi

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Transmission electron microscopy results showed the formation of SiC precipitation in a rapid thermally oxidized (RTO) Si1−x−yGexCy sample with high-C content. The spectroscopic ellipsometry results showed that the E1 gap increased and E2 gap decreased as the C concentration increased. For the oxidized samples, the amplitude of the E2 transitions reduced rapidly and the E1 transition shifted to a lower energy. The reduction in the E2 transitions was due to the presence of the oxide layer. A high-Ge content layer and the low-C content in the RTO films accounted for …


Meeting Medical Terminology Needs: The Ontology-Enhanced Medical Concept Mapper, Gondy Leroy, Hsinchun Chen Dec 2001

Meeting Medical Terminology Needs: The Ontology-Enhanced Medical Concept Mapper, Gondy Leroy, Hsinchun Chen

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

This paper describes the development and testing of the Medical Concept Mapper, a tool designed to facilitate access to online medical information sources by providing users with appropriate medical search terms for their personal queries. Our system is valuable for patients whose knowledge of medical vocabularies is inadequate to find the desired information, and for medical experts who search for information outside their field of expertise. The Medical Concept Mapper maps synonyms and semantically related concepts to a user's query. The system is unique because it integrates our natural language processing tool, i.e., the Arizona (AZ) Noun Phraser, with human-created …

From Planning To Searching For The Shortest Plan: An Optimal Transition, Raul A. Trejo, Joel Galloway, Charanjiv Sachar, Vladik Kreinovich, Chitta Baral, Le Chi Tuan Dec 2001

From Planning To Searching For The Shortest Plan: An Optimal Transition, Raul A. Trejo, Joel Galloway, Charanjiv Sachar, Vladik Kreinovich, Chitta Baral, Le Chi Tuan

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Since Kautz and Selman's 1992 ECAI paper on satisfiability based planning, there has been several work on planning through finding models of a logical theory. Most of these works focus on finding a plan of a given length. If we want to find the shortest plan, then usually, we try plans of length 1, 2, ..., until we find the first length for which such a plan exists. When the planning problem is difficult and the shortest plan is of a reasonable length, this linear search can take a long time; to speed up the process, it has been proposed …

The Jordanian Humanitarian Demining Program: A Model Of Optimism And Persistence, Jose Saucedo Dec 2001

The Jordanian Humanitarian Demining Program: A Model Of Optimism And Persistence, Jose Saucedo

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Detecting and removing over 300,000 estimated mines in Jordan’s 509 mine fields is a huge but not insurmountable problem. The deliberate clearing process requires courageous patience, a demonstrated quality of Jordan’s highly qualified engineer officers and soldiers. Trained and experienced deminers, outfitted with state-of-the-art protective equipment and using internationally recognized demining techniques and methodologies, form the base of the Royal Corps of Engineers Humanitarian Demining (HD) attack plan. Though many mines are unaccounted for due to erosion, flooding, and accidental detonation, Royal Corps of Engineer HD soldiers have an established perseverance that will prevail.


Comments On The "Detonation" Approach, Robert Keeley Dec 2001

Comments On The "Detonation" Approach, Robert Keeley

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Daniel Wolf and Steven Barmazel discussed the Public Health approach to demining in an article entitled "The Necessity of Implementing a Public-Health Approach to Humanitarian Demining," making some very valid points. However, Robert Keeley points out some problems with this approach that he feels need to be addressed before this method can be successful.

U.S. Humanitarian Demining In The Middle East, Stacy L. Smith Dec 2001

U.S. Humanitarian Demining In The Middle East, Stacy L. Smith

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

The United States seeks to relieve human suffering caused by landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) while promoting U.S. foreign policy interests. U.S. objectives are to reduce civilian casualties, create conditions for the safe return of refugees and displaced persons to their homes and reinforce an affected country’s stability. The U.S. seeks to accomplish these objectives by helping to establish and support sustainable indigenous mine action capabilities in mine-affected nations where appropriate. Since fiscal year 1993, the United States has committed almost $500 million (U.S.) to global mine action initiatives, including research and development and survivor assistance. Nearly $90 million (U.S.) …
