A cash flow theory of conglomerate mergers
<p>There have been three periods of intensive merger activity in the United States. The first merger movement of major significance occurred at the turn of the century, and its peak years were between 1898 and 1902. This early merger movement in many respects was the most significant of the merger …

Methodologies for integrating traffic flow theory, ITS and evolving surveillance technologies
… is to develop methodologies for applying traffic flow theories to various ITS categories through the utilization of evolving surveillance technologies. This integration of theory, measurement and application has been overlooked since the advent of ITS because of the number of disciplines involved. …

Tip leakage flow in a linear turbine cascade
… was performed to study the details of flow in the tip clearance gap of a linear turbine blade cascade. The cascade was designed and built to be geometrically similar to the earlier VPI&SU cascade; however, the new cascade also had a tip gap (2.1 percent of blade height) and two endwall …

Reconceptualizing Flow from a Self-Regulatory Framework
The flow experience refers to a state characterized by complete involvement in a task. According to flow theory, the flow state is preceded by three antecedents, skill-task match, goals, and feedback. These antecedents lead to a flow state, which is exemplified by six components, merging of action …

The Effects of Trained Facilitation of Learning-Oriented Feedback on Learner Engagement, Performance, Self-Efficacy, and Enjoyment
… Changes in facilitators" attitudes toward (1) flow theory (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997), (2) systematic feedback (Ilgen, Fisher, & Taylor, 1979; Liden & Mitchell, 1985; Locke & Latham, 1985), and (3) hands-on learning (Joplin, 1995; Kolb, 1984; Pfieffer & Jones, 1985; Williamson, 1995) were …

A numerical study of barotropic instability of a zonally varying easterly jet.
… respects to that expected from the parallel flow theory of barotropic instability, however, the resultant structure of the waves causes a spatial growth rate greater than predicted by the local growth rates computed with a parallel flow model. In the stable region, the structure leads to …

Application of Finite-State Wake Models to Rotors Re-entering Their Own Wake
… thrust was evaluated under assumptions of axial flow and potential flow theory. Results consist of computations of the inflow velocity for this case, along with comparison to closed-form, potential flow solutions for validation. The finite-state model is shown to converge with the closed-form …
