The Impact Of The Dividend Tax Cut And Managerial Stock Holdings On Corporate Dividend Policy, Jouahn Nam, Jun Wang, Ge Zhang Jan 2004

The Impact Of The Dividend Tax Cut And Managerial Stock Holdings On Corporate Dividend Policy, Jouahn Nam, Jun Wang, Ge Zhang

Department of Economics and Finance Working Papers, 1991-2006

We examine the impact of the May 2003 dividend tax cut and managerial stock holdings on corporate dividend initiation decision. We find that managers who hold sizable stakes in their companies are more likely to initiate dividends following this tax cut. This positive relation is stronger for firms with higher growth opportunities. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that managers initiate dividends to maximize their own wealth. Moreover, the market reacts negatively (most positively) to dividend initiation announcements by firms with higher (lower) growth opportunities and higher (lower) managerial share holdings.

What Next?: The German Strategy Crisis During The Summer Of 1940, Leonard Spencer Cooley Jan 2004

What Next?: The German Strategy Crisis During The Summer Of 1940, Leonard Spencer Cooley

LSU Major Papers

The German blitzkrieg across France during May 1940 was the culmination of three years of daring political and military moves that had brought most of Europe under German control. It was the German dictator Adolf Hitler who had outguessed his advisors. Yet, Hitler's bold moves in Western Europe ended with his army's dash across France, and the failure to strike Great Britain that summer when the British were at one of the weakest points in their entire history. After Germany defeated France, Hitler began a fruitless period of waiting for Great Britain to sue for peace. Unlike Hitler, some in …

Accuracy Of Airborne Lidar-Derived Elevation: Empirical Assessment And Error Budget, Michael E. Hodgson, Patrick Bresnahan Jan 2004

Accuracy Of Airborne Lidar-Derived Elevation: Empirical Assessment And Error Budget, Michael E. Hodgson, Patrick Bresnahan

Faculty Publications

As part of a countywide large-scale mapping effort for Richland County, South Carolina, an accuracy assessment of a recently acquired lidar-derived data set was conducted. Airborne lidar (2-m nominal posting) was collected at a flying height of 1207 meters above ground level (AGL) using an Optech ALTM (Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper) 1210 system. Unique to this study are the reference point elevations. Rather than using an interpolation approach for gathering observed elevations at reference points, the x-y coordinates of lidar points were located in the field and these elevations were surveyed. Using both total-station-based and rapid-static GPS techniques, observed vertical …

A Parameterization Model For Transportation Feature Extraction, Michael E. Hodgson, Xingong Li, Yang Cheng Jan 2004

A Parameterization Model For Transportation Feature Extraction, Michael E. Hodgson, Xingong Li, Yang Cheng

Faculty Publications

This article presents one solution to the parameterization problem for automated road feature extraction models. Using a line-length buffer approach, a measure of agreement between extracted road features and reference road features is defined. An automated approach for deriving this agreement index is presented and implemented as a parameterization model. Coupling the implemented parameterization model with an existing transportation feature extraction model is demonstrated. Although the solution was designed for a road feature extraction model (FEM), the conceptual design could be applied to other linear FEMs, such as models for streams, fault lines, and isolines.

Dsp Implementation Of A Digital Non-Linear Interval Control Algorithm For A Quasi-Keyhole Plasma Arc Welding Process, Matthew Wayne Everett Jan 2004

Dsp Implementation Of A Digital Non-Linear Interval Control Algorithm For A Quasi-Keyhole Plasma Arc Welding Process, Matthew Wayne Everett

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

The Quasi-Keyhole plasma arc welding (PAW) process is a relatively simple concept, which provides a basis for controlling the weld quality of a subject work piece by cycling the arc current between a static base and variable peak level. Since the weld quality is directly related to the degree of penetration and amount of heat that is generated and maintained in the system, the Non-Linear Interval Control Algorithm provides a methodology for maintaining these parameters within acceptable limits by controlling the arc current based upon measured peak current times. The Texas Instruments TMS320VC5416 DSK working in conjunction with Signalwares AED-109 …

Control Synthesis In Colored Condition Systems, Praveen Mandavilli Jan 2004

Control Synthesis In Colored Condition Systems, Praveen Mandavilli

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

With complex systems, monolithic models become impractical and it becomes necessary to model them through subsystems and components. Unless these components and subsystems are structured, exploiting them in a methodical manner to develop a control logic for them also becomes complex. In the previous research, to characterize the input/output behavior of discrete state interacting, systems a condition language framework was defined and algorithms that can automatically generate a controller given the system model and the desired specification using this framework were presented. Though this framework and the control algorithms are ideally suited to simple systems, representation of components with large …

Considering Physical Inactivity In Relation To Obesity, Janet C. Struber Jan 2004

Considering Physical Inactivity In Relation To Obesity, Janet C. Struber

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Physical inactivity and obesity contribute enormously to the current burden of disease in Australia, as in all Western Countries. Although diet and exercise have been linked to health since antiquity, the connection has recently experienced a revival of interest. There is mounting evidence that the current prevalence of obesity is more closely related to decreases in energy expenditure than to the traditionally accepted imbalance between consumption and expenditure, and that physical activity is therefore crucial in maintaining weight loss. With overweight[1] and obesity[2] now the norm in Australia, physical inactivity is a major issue within and beyond the health sector, …

Preliminary Studies On Efficacy Of Prolonged Nasal Cul-De-Sac With High Pressure Speech Acts (P.I.N.C.H.) On Hypernasality, Helene Rosman Fisher Jan 2004

Preliminary Studies On Efficacy Of Prolonged Nasal Cul-De-Sac With High Pressure Speech Acts (P.I.N.C.H.) On Hypernasality, Helene Rosman Fisher

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Prolonged Nasal Cul-De-Sac with High Pressure Speech Acts (P.i.N.C.H.), a technique to treat hypernasality, was developed upon the basis of four physiological principles of velopharyngeal function. Preliminary experimental and clinical studies were conducted to determine the efficacy of P.i.N.C.H. in decreasing nasalance in 5 non-cleft palate subjects with velopharyngeal incompetence over a 3-week to 22 month period of time. Results revealed statistically significant decreases in nasalance for posttreatment measures immediately after treatment as well as over several months. It was concluded that P.i.N.C.H. warrants further investigation.

First Steps Toward Change In Teacher Preparation For Elementary Science, C. Klevickis, R. Kolvoord, M. Handley, K. Giovanetti, D. Peterson, T. Daughtrey, S. Fairchild Jan 2004

First Steps Toward Change In Teacher Preparation For Elementary Science, C. Klevickis, R. Kolvoord, M. Handley, K. Giovanetti, D. Peterson, T. Daughtrey, S. Fairchild

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Unless introductory undergraduate science classes for prospective elementary teachers actively incorporate the philosophy of inquiry-based learning called for in K-l2 science education refom little will change in elementary science education. Thus, at James Madison University, we have developed a new integrated science core curriculum called Understanding our World [1]. This course sequence was not only designed to fulfill general education science requirements. but also to focus on content areas our students will need to know as teachers. The objectives of these courses are based on the National Science Education Standards and Virginia’s Science Standards of Learning, including earth and space …
