Executive Compensation, Corporate Tax Aggressiveness and Financial Reporting Aggressiveness: Evidence from SFAS 123R
(2017-05-08)Using a variety of research methods, prior empirical research finds that executive compensation influences the behavior of managers, particularly with decisions involving risk. These studies show that, when executive ... -
Exergame Use As A Gateway To The Adoption Of And Adherence To Sport-specific And General Physical Activity
Despite increasing the amount of information regarding the need for regular physical activity, rates of inactivity have not seen a corresponding decrease. The aim of the current study was to determine whether exergame use ... -
Exergy Analysis of a Pulse Detonation Engine Linear Power Generator
(2016-05-11)The fuel efficiency of a power generator is a key metric for evaluating its performance. The common engineering practice is to determine the thermal efficiency of the system by applying the conservation of energy also known ... -
Existence of Exact Zero Divisors and Totally Reflexive Modules in Artinian Rings
(2017-05-10)In this dissertation, we consider commutative local Artinian rings (A, m, k), which are rings that satisfy the descending chain condition on ideals. First, we investigate the existence of exact zero divisors in Artinian ... -
Exit Exam Requirements And High School Graduation: A Texas Perspective
(Education, 2014-07-14)The movement towards exit exams requirements prior to a student graduating from high school is one of the most prominent developments on the education policy landscape nationwide. Previous research on the impact of exit ... -
Expanding Beyond The Foundations Of Decision-making: Perceptual Differences Of Risk Between Resources
(Psychology, 2011-03-03)This research examined how resources such as life, food, and money are calculated in decision-making. Presently, the field assumes that various types of resources have the same value when a choice is being made. The study ... -
Expanding the Intellectual Property Knowledge Base at University Libraries: Collaborating with Patent and Trademark Resource Centers
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2018-03-21)Patent and Trademark Resource Centers are located in libraries throughout the U.S., with 43 being in academic libraries. With the importance of incorporating a knowledge of intellectual property (IP) and patent research ... -
EXPECTATION MAXIMIZATION-BASED LIKELIHOOD INFERENCE FOR COM-POISSON CURE RATE MODEL WITH INTERVAL CENSORED DATA
(2016-12-02)A cure rate or long-term survival model is a model for survival data with the presence of a cure fraction. In this study, we consider the analysis of a cure rate model with interval-censored data, which is one of the most ... -
EXPEDITIOUS APPROACH TO 3,3’-BIS-SILYL BINOLS, BIPHENOLS, AND 3,3’-BIS-SILYL PHOSPHORAMIDITES ENABLED BY CATALYTIC C–H SILYLATION WITH A TRACELESS ACETAL DIRECTING GROUP
(2021-05-10)The research described in this dissertation is on two different projects namely i) Syntheses of 3,3’-bis functionalized BINOL and biphenol compounds, ii) Syntheses of 3,3’-bis silyl-BINOL-based phosphoramidites. The first ... -
Experiencing Technology Integration In The Collegiate Classroom: From The Perspectives Of Itinerant Adjunct Language Instructors
(Education, 2015)In the last 40 years, the adjunct instructor population has become the largest group in higher education. Despite their numbers, they continue to be largely ignored and, most importantly, untrained. Their itinerancy forces ... -
