Business Calculus Students’ Reasoning about Optimization Problems: A Study of Quantitative Reasoning in an Economic Context
… students’ learning of important concepts such as marginal change in applied calculus is scarce. Research on students’ quantitative reasoning at the post-secondary level is lacking. This qualitative study investigated the opportunity to learn about optimization problems, marginal change, and …

Taxation and income smoothing: Evidence from accruals
… Second, the net present value of taxes paid may change due to income smoothing activities (the cash flow effect). Managers were predicted to smooth less as the marginal change in the net present value of taxes paid increased.

Using single corn kernel classification, pooling, and simulation to address skewness and clustering in aflatoxin distribution
… similar sampling performance (0.8%-3.5% absolute marginal change) at the 20 ppb threshold, except that SS causes large variance when hot-spots exist. Increasing the number of probes from 5 to 100 can improve aflatoxin detection (1.8% increase in absolute marginal change), especially when …

Emulating the southwest airline experience to forecast demand for High Speed Rail
… a new approach for studying the effect of change in relative fare and relative frequency on variation in total ridership forecasts for High Speed Rail (HSR) in various market scenarios, by drawing from the experience of another common carrier having similar characteristics. First, we study …

Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Flexible Structures: Low Temperature Deposition of Silver Conductive Tracks on Flexible Substrates
… at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min resulting in a marginal change in resistance up to 10% strain. Cyclic mandrel testing was conducted in order to assess the fatigue characteristics of the flexible components. Nanoindentation testing was performed to analyze mechanical properties of the cured ink …

Measuring the impact of climate change on Britain
Adaptation to past changes in the climate of Britain may be indicative of the way in which society will respond to future climate change. The long run costs associated with climate change are, once full adaptation has occurred, not obviously detrimental. Furthermore even if the frequency of …

Reststrahlen band optics for the advancement of far-infrared optical architecture
… across a wide range of the far-infrared with marginal change in the strength and quality factor of the resonance. Subsequent heating of the devices with 2D gratings demonstrated polarization independent selective thermal emission. Computational models of the emission indicated the samples had …
