Atomic And Electronic Structure Of Co/Srtio3/Co Tunnel Junctions, Ivan I. Oleinik, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, David G. Pettifor Dec 2001

Atomic And Electronic Structure Of Co/Srtio3/Co Tunnel Junctions, Ivan I. Oleinik, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, David G. Pettifor

Evgeny Tsymbal Publications

First-principles density-functional calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of Co/SrTiO3 /Co (001) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ’s) are performed. Different interface terminations are considered and the most stable structure with the TiO2 termination is identified based on energetics of adhesion. The calculated electronic structure of the TiO2-terminated MTJ shows an exchange coupling between the interface Co and Ti atoms mediated by oxygen. This coupling induces a magnetic moment of 0.25 µB on the interface Ti atom, which is aligned antiparallel to the magnetic moment of the Co layer. We argue that this might cause an …


The 'Lack Of Separation' Revisited: Small Business Owners And Risk, Susan Coleman, Richard Cohn Dec 2001

The 'Lack Of Separation' Revisited: Small Business Owners And Risk, Susan Coleman, Richard Cohn

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The close link between the personal financial affairs of a small business owner and his or her firm has been noted in prior research. This article compares attitudes toward risk on the part of small business owners (SBOs) and non-small business owners (NSBOs). In addition, it compares the personal balance sheets of SBOs to those of NSBOs to determine if SBOs hold a higher level of risky assets. Results reveal that small business owners express a greater willingness to accept risk and hold a higher level of risky assets in their personal portfolios. This finding is consistent with small business …


An Empirical Examination Of Sba Guaranteed Loans: Rates, Collateral, Agency Costs, And The Time To Obtain The Loan, James C. Brau, Jerome S. Osteryoung Dec 2001

An Empirical Examination Of Sba Guaranteed Loans: Rates, Collateral, Agency Costs, And The Time To Obtain The Loan, James C. Brau, Jerome S. Osteryoung

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

We empirically examine a sample of over 350 entrepreneurial firms that successfully receive an SBA guaranteed loan. The first portion of the paper contains descriptive statistics that lend anecdotal evidence concerning the organization type of borrowers, the incidence of collateral, the reasons for choosing the financial institution in which the SBA loan is secured, the main purpose for the SBA loan, and alternative actions that would have been undertaken had the SBA guaranteed loan not been obtained. The second portion of the paper poses theoretical predictions and tests them via multivariate models. Issues that are considered include the number of …


The Characteristics And Value-Added Contributions Of Private Investors To Entrepreneurial Software Ventures, John Freear, Jeffrey Sohl Dec 2001

The Characteristics And Value-Added Contributions Of Private Investors To Entrepreneurial Software Ventures, John Freear, Jeffrey Sohl

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The nature and role of early stage equity financing in the development of emerging entrepreneurial ventures in the software industry is examined. To provide an understanding of the relationship between the suppliers of capital and the ventures they bankroll, issues concerning equity positions and holding periods are addressed. Given the unique position of private investors in the early stage equity market, particular attention is given to the characteristics of these investors and the investor characteristics germane to the software industry. Results for the software sector are compared with technology-based companies in an attempt to uncover any discernable differences between the …

The Biosynthetic Gene Cluster For The Anticancer Drug Bleomycin From Streptomyces Verticillus Atcc15003 As A Model For Hybrid Peptide–Polyketide Natural Product Biosynthesis, B. Shen, Liangcheng Du, C. Sanchez, D. J. Edwards, M. Chen, J. M. Murrell Dec 2001

The Biosynthetic Gene Cluster For The Anticancer Drug Bleomycin From Streptomyces Verticillus Atcc15003 As A Model For Hybrid Peptide–Polyketide Natural Product Biosynthesis, B. Shen, Liangcheng Du, C. Sanchez, D. J. Edwards, M. Chen, J. M. Murrell

Liangcheng Du Publications

The hybrid peptide–polyketide backbone of bleomycin (BLM) is assembled by the BLM megasynthetase that consists of both nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) modules. BlmIX/BlmVIII/BlmVII constitute a natural hybrid NRPS/PKS/NRPS system, serving as a model for both hybrid NRPS/PKS and PKS/NRPS systems. Sequence analysis and functional comparison of domains and modules of BlmIX/BlmVIII/BlmVII with those of nonhybrid NRPS and PKS systems suggest that (1) the same catalytic sites appear to be conserved in both hybrid NRPS–PKS and nonhybrid NRPS or PKS systems, with the exception of the KS domains in the hybrid NRPS/PKS systems that are unique; (2) …

Annualized Returns Of Venture-Backed Public Companies Categorized By Stage Of Financing: An Empirical Investigation Of Ipos In The Last Three Decades, Yochanan Shachmurove Dec 2001

Annualized Returns Of Venture-Backed Public Companies Categorized By Stage Of Financing: An Empirical Investigation Of Ipos In The Last Three Decades, Yochanan Shachmurove

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Although the national media has given increased attention to the venture capital process, misconceptions continue to proliferate. One often hears about the incredible capital gains of IPO share prices. This paper refutes the myth that investors demand very high rates of return to compensate for the risks involved in financing ventures. The paper investigates actual performance of 3,063 Initial Public Offerings of companies that were backed by venture capital from 1968 until 1998 stratified by current actively and inactively traded companies and by stages of financing. The main findings are that annualized returns are different for current actively and inactively …


The Sales Forecast And Financial Management In The Small Manufacturing Firm, Richard Burns, Joe Walker Dec 2001

The Sales Forecast And Financial Management In The Small Manufacturing Firm, Richard Burns, Joe Walker

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The importance of an accurate sales forecast to financial management in general is well documented. Although large firms' forecasting practices as they relate to financial management have been surveyed, this is the first such study on small (manufacturing) firms. Surprisingly, the two groups are highly similar with respect to accuracy desired accuracy achieved, the uses of the sales forecast, and in the importance of the sales forecast. However, large and small firms do differ significantly in methods, perceived sophistication of methods, and in the commitment of resources to the sales forecasting effort.


The Impact Of Bank Structure On Small Business And Small Farm Lending, Steven G. Craig, Polly T. Hardee Dec 2001

The Impact Of Bank Structure On Small Business And Small Farm Lending, Steven G. Craig, Polly T. Hardee

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

This paper empirically explores the impact of bank size, holding company affiliation and the degree of branching on small business and farm lending through a conceptual analysis encompassing private information asymmetries inherent in these bank dependent borrowers. The study expands the literature by removing the influence of capital constraints in bank dependent lending through comparing real estate secured to non real estate loans in a reduced form model. Furthermore, it encompasses an allocation analysis over bank dependent loans, its large loan counterpart and other assets. Overall the findings indicate that not only small banks, but instate and more particularly one …


Venture Financing And Role Of Certification: A Theoretical Perspective, Rassoul Yazdipour Dec 2001

Venture Financing And Role Of Certification: A Theoretical Perspective, Rassoul Yazdipour

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

This paper attempts to extend the Certification Paradigm--mainly used in the literature as an explanation for IPO underpricings--to provide guidelines to entrepreneurs in their efforts to secure funding for new ventures. After extending the model to cases of pre-venture-capital start-up firms, along with the practical implications that would follow, efforts are made to derive some testable hypotheses for further research on the topic.


Where Do We Stand On Closely-Held Firm Valuation?, William P. Dukes Dec 2001

Where Do We Stand On Closely-Held Firm Valuation?, William P. Dukes

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

This paper contains a review of issues pertaining to the valuation of privately held businesses, noting significant inconsistencies in the rationale and approaches taken in the valuation process. In addition to suggesting that appraisers stay with the "tried and true" rather than testing the obsolete, it may be desirable for an experiment to be conducted with a "friends of the Tax Court" idea, in which a few select extremely well qualified appraisers offer assistance in the Tax Court's deliberations on valuation issues.
