(charge amplifiers). The sensor can have high temperature ranges up to +1‚112°F (+600°C). Some methods of investigating bearing defects and gear problems may require a higher frequency range and because the signals are generated by impact‚ the sensitivity should be lower. By the same means if the user is using the SKF “Enveloping Technique” then just the opposite is applicable. ACCELEROMETERS Piezoelectric accelerometers having a constant signal over a wide frequency range‚ up to 20 kHz’s‚ for

A desk contributes $40 to profit‚ and a chair contributes $25. Marketing restrictions require that the number of chairs produced be at least twice the number of desks produced. There are 20 units of wood available. Using the graph below‚ determine a production plan that maximizes Furnco’s profit. a) Draw isoprofit lines where the total profit equals

growing body of evidence indicates that better accounting quality can reduce information asymmetry costs and reduce financing constraints. Consistent with this possibility‚ Biddle and Hilary (2006) document that higher accounting quality reduces the sensitivity of firms’ investment to their internally generated cash flows. Verdi (2006) and Biddle‚ Hillary‚ and Verdi (2009) find that accounting quality is positively correlated with investment for firms prone to underinvest and is negatively correlated with

are the meanings of the terms prevalence‚ predictive value‚ sensitivity‚ and specificity? The prevalence of a disease is simply a measure of the frequency with which the disease occurs in the population of interest. The predictive value of a test is simply the posttest (updated) probability that a disease is present based on the results of a test. The word used to describe this relationship is specificity The notion of sensitivity the likelihood that a given piece of data will be observed

The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) was created by Dr. Milton Bennett (1986‚ 1993) as a framework to explain the reactions of people to cultural difference. In both academic and corporate settings‚ he observed that individuals confronted cultural difference in some predictable ways as they learned to became more competent intercultural communicators. Using concepts from cognitive psychology and constructivism‚ he

during the 1980s. We find that the sensitivity of CEO pay to firm performance decreases with the variance of performance. This is consistent with the prediction of a tradeoff between incentives and insurance in agency theory. On the other hand‚ the data lend little support to the relative performance evaluation hypothesis. We also find that the performance sensitivity of CEO pay increases with the marginal return to executive action‚ that is‚ pay sensitivity increases with managerial control
