Why Companies Are Using the Indirect Method to Report Operating Cash Flows
… Board strongly recommended the use of the direct method to disclose the operating section of the statement. As a result of comments to the Exposure Draft, the indirect method was also permitted. At that time, three percent of companies surveyed by the AICPA indicated that they use the direct …

The Development and Validation of a Direct LC-MS/MS Assay for the Determination of Tenofovir-diphosphate in Dried Blood Spots for the Analysis of Clinical Samples
… a novel sensitive, specific, and robust direct method for the measurement of adherence, utilising tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) in dry blood spots (DBS) through LC-MS/MS analysis, to replace the current costly and laborious indirect method currently used to elucidate adherence of patients. This …

Thermodynamics of disordered carbon(1-x)copper(x) and silicon(1-x)gold(x) near the metal-insulator transition
… time are carried out, using both a direct and indirect method, in three dimensional films of C$\sb{1-x}$Cu$\sb x$ and Si$\sb{1-x}$Au$\sb x$ in the temperature range 0.3K-4K. The electron-phonon resistance and thermal boundary resistance are also measured.

Electrocaloric materials and devices
… at its heart. Materials and experimental methods are briefly reviewed. A ‘resetting’ indirect route to isothermal entropy change ∆S for hysteretic first-order transitions is described. An indirect route to adiabatic temperature change ∆T, without the need for field-resolved heat capacity …

Indirect measurement of the electrocaloric effect
… the various reports showed that the indirect method of measuring cooling (described in the following sections) did not usually agree with the direct method (actually measuring temperature change with a thermometer). However, there was no obvious systematic error: sometimes the …

Volatility Model Pricing and Calibration with Neural Networks using Bayesian Optimisation
… networks in this paper are trained using an indirect and a direct method. The first step of the indirect method utilises a deep artificial neural network to approximate the pricing function (output) using the parameters as inputs. The second step of the indirect method implements a least …

Clothing style preference of working women related to self- image/clothing-image congruity and public self-consciousness
… in differences in ASC or ISSC; and 5) the Direct Method of measuring ASC or ISSC is more predictive of CSP than the Indirect Method. A 7-point Likert Scale was utilized to elicit responses to the four line drawn clothing-styles depicting the dramatic, sporty, feminine, and classic image. The …

Power Station Thermal Efficiency Performance Method Evaluation
… the uncertainties cannot be generalized, a methodology has been developed to evaluate any case. A 3600 MWe wet-cooled power plant (6 x 600 MWe units) situated in Mpumalanga was selected to study the impact of uncertainties on the STEP model outputs. The results from the case study yielded …

Relationships between the chronological and biological age, and physical performance of elite youth invasion games players during the course of a season
… elite youth athletes, whilst validating current methods of measuring maturity levels. Methods: A sample of one hundred and ninety one male elite youth athletes participated in a measurement of maturity using a direct and indirect method over the course of a season. Seventy-three of this focussed …

Thermodynamics of disordered C1-xCux and Si1-xAux near the metal-insulator transition
… time are carried out, using both a direct and indirect method, in three dimensional films of Cl-xCUx and Si1-xAUx in the temperature range 0.3K-4K. The electron-phonon resistance and thermal boundary resistance are also measured. The directly measured relaxation times for C1-zCUz can agree with …

Acoustic signal estimation using multiple blind observations
… of Signals From Sensors (CROSS) algorithm is an indirect method, which uses an estimate of the acoustic channel. Using the estimated channel coefficients from a Least-Squares (LS) channel estimation method, we propose an initialization process (zero-forcing estimate) and an iteration process …

Exposure Assessment to Estimate the Population Exposed to Low Air Quality from Wildfires in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
… PM2.5 concentrations were estimated using the indirect method of Thiessen polygons to obtain spatial coverage of the stations. Person-days of exposure to weighted average daily PM2.5 concentrations above the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended level of 15 μg/m3 were calculated …

A Validation Study of a Writing Skills Test for Police Recruit Applicants
… ability dimensions included on a separate, indirect, multiple choice test were investigated. Direct and indirect scores were correlated with training academy performance. Because both tests assessed higher-order and lower-order writing abilities, comparisons were made to determine which type …

The study of photo-thermal lensing system and its applications
… absorption of defects. Reflection-transmission method is the simplest measurement to measure the absorption of optical films. This indirect method is good for absorption values down to ~0.1%. However, typical high quality optical coatings have absorption values measured in parts per million …

Continuous-time multivariable system identification
… of continuous-time multivariable systems. Direct methods of identification, i.e. identifying a continuous-time model directly from samples of input-output data, are considered briefly. Of primary consideration is the indirect method of identification, which can be considered as a two stage method. …
