Comparison of DCF and EP valuation methods
Valuations are an integral tool in the world of finance. This thesis explores two different methods to valuate companies. Both methods were applied on two different companies in the small economy of Iceland at turbulent times. The methods chosen were a discounted cash flow method and a economic …

A hardware testbed for measuring IEEE 802.11g DCF performance
The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is the oldest and most widely-used IEEE 802.11 contention-based channel access control protocol. DCF adds a significant amount of overhead in the form of preambles, frame headers, randomised binary exponential back-off and inter-frame spaces. Having …

Beyond DCF analysis in real estate financial modeling : probabilistic evaluation of real estate ventures
This thesis introduces probabilistic valuation techniques and encourages their usage in the real estate industry. Including uncertainty and real options into real estate financial models is worthwhile, especially when there is an elevated level of unpredictability surrounding the investment …

The use of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method as a method of valuation within the South African property industry: A critical review
… indicated a trend towards the use of the DCF method in preference to the Capitalization method despite an initial hesitance due to the perceived complexity of the method. The aim of this study was therefore to form an understanding if similar perception of complexity exists in South Africa …

Construction and performance of an inverted pendulum thrust balance
… Propulsion Lab's (SPL) Diverging Cusped Field (DCF) thruster and, more generally, other thrusters of similar size and thrust levels. The former SPL thrust stand, which had been used to characterize the BHT-200 engine, was not suitable for the DCF because of its torsional style design. An …

Nanosized systems for efficient delivery of antitumoral and anti-inflammatory drugs
… of the work were to develop Diclofenac acid (DCF) nanosuspensions obtained by the addition of a permeation enhancer, Transcutol (TRC), in the aqueous stabilizer solution and to study the effect of Transcutol on the transdermal permeation and skin accumulation of DCF nanocrystals. …

Valuing flexibilities in large-scale real estate development projects
… tools such as the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method fail to incorporate dynamics of real estate development processes. As a result, their application to real world situation is quite limited. Two methods are introduced to deal with this inadequacy of the DCF method. Decision Tree Analysis …

Exploiting wireless broadcast property to improve performance of distributed algorithms and mac protocols in wireless networks
… MAC protocol for wireless networks, called Token-DCF. In Token-DCF an implicit token passing algorithm is proposed to reduce idle and collision times of the random access mechanism of IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol. In Token-DCF, packet overhearing is employed to exchange scheduling information across …

Performance of voice and data transmission using the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol
… called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). The MAC protocol also includes an optional polling scheme called the Point Coordination Function (PCF) to deliver near-isochronous service to stations. This thesis analyzes the performance of these two medium access mechanisms under real-time …

Development and characterization of a diverging cusped field thruster and a lanthanum hexaboride hollow cathode
… design, referred to as a Diverging Cusped Field (DCF) thruster, employs aspects of both existing cusped field thrusters and traditional Hall thrusters while including several unique design features aimed at increasing performance. In addition to supporting competitive thrust and efficiency …

Enhanced Collision Resolution for the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function
… relies on the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) as the fundamental medium access control method. DCF uses the Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) algorithm to regulate channel access. The backoff period determined by BEB depends on a contention window (CW) whose size is doubled if a station …

An analysis of the use of discounted cash flow methods and real options to value flexibility in real estate development projects
… sector indicate the growth in the use of DCF methods such as the NPV and IRR methods to evaluate projects as compared to the use of such naïve methods as Payback and the Accounting rate of return. The growing convergence of theory and practice is indicated by the growing use of the NPV …

Experimental analysis and prospective flow diagnostic applications for fluorescence dye-doped microparticles
… dyes, Rhodamine B (RhB), Dichlorofluorescein (DCF), and Kiton Red (KR), were doped into PSLs and studied in benchtop experiments. A major interest in the present research is the application of safe dyes, thus DCF and KR are of particular interest, while RhB is used as a benchmark. The study is …

A Financial Model to Assist New Therapeutics Development Decision Making
… are most often valued with Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methods, the risk and the phased development process of the biotech industry make it an ideal process to be valued by a real options approach. This thesis tries to use the binomial lattice method based Real Options Valuation (ROV) technique to …

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of the Division of Corporate Finance as a Monitor of Financial Reporting
… These findings are consistent with the DCF being effective in selecting firms that are perceived by the market as having low disclosure and earnings quality. However, within comment letter firms, I am unable to provide any evidence that the DCF allocates more resources to firms with …

Rethinking the bottom line : how externalities of private development impact the value proposition and negotiation process
… a classic financial model Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) to forecast the private benefit that accrues to the developer and financial partners. DCF is a rational method to approximate the value of a deal, but the method neglects to recognize that developments are both private assets and also possess …
