M.Com. (Financial Management) / Researchers are not satisfied with models that explain share price variations based on net present value analysis. To overcome the traditional problems of net present value analysis, intrinsic bubbles and the dividend price ratio were investigated to explain share price volatility. An index derived from dividend paying shares listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange Limited (JSE Ltd) for the period January 2000 to December 2010 was investigated. This investigation was based on Froot and Obstfeld’s (1991) Intrinsic Bubbles model. The null hypothesis of no intrinsic bubbles was not rejected. The findings infer that share prices were not only driven by fundamentals, implying the presence of intrinsic bubbles. This is consistent with the findings of Brooks, Nneji and Ward (2011) after applying the same methodology on the US housing market. The researcher’s aim was to provide a better clarification on whether changes in fundamentals are suitable to predict share prices, but results were inconclusive in this regard. The results indicate that fundamentals account for 80.1% of share price movements.

In the avian training community, a procedure has been utilized to maintain food reinforcer efficacy at high body weights. Elements of this procedure include limited holds and closed economies. To test this procedure, a baseline performance of keypecking on an FR 15 schedule at 80% ad lib weight for two pigeons was established. By imposing limited holds and a closed economy, rates of responding were increased compared to baseline, even while the pigeons were over 90% of their ad-lib body weights.

ABSTRACT According to the data of the Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring Network (TAQMN), the suspenden particulates decreases gradually with year at the Kao-Ping Air Quality Area, but the ozone increases with year and deteriorates. Therefore, the problem of the ozone is wating for solving at Kao-Ping Air Quality Area. Because the ground-level ozone has a relationship with NOx and VOC, they are thought to be the major precursors of the ozone. The concentration of the ozone is not linearly related with concentrations NOx and VOC. The precursors of the ozone affect the ground-level ozone, so the photochemical indicators are further developed in recent years. The photochemical indicators H2O2,HNO3 and NOy in this study in Kaohsiung area are analysed by criteria values (Sillman,1995 and 1997) and on-site sampling. The sampling sites are at Nan-Zih, Siao-Gang, Lin-Yuan and Chiao-Tou. The results can determine the major precursors forming ozone. In addition Smog Production Model (SPM) is also used to analyze the results. According to the analyses of the photochemical indicators, Nan-Zih, Siao-Gang, Lin-Yuan and Chiao-Tou are VOC-limited in the spring, summer, fall and winter.According to the analysis result of SPM, the four sites are also VOC-limited in four seasons.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / There is an acquisition management challenge to a program which has a limited market. One approach which can improve competition is the utilization of commercial technology. This utilization helps reduce unit cost and system obsolescence. The Hardened Subminiature Telemetry and Sensor System (HSTSS) has experienced the affects of a limited market and the need to utilize commercial technology. HSTSS plans to use partnering because the expertise is spread across the industry, and technology integration is required to fabricate an instrumentation system that would meet tri-service test requirements. There are many challenges facing the Program Manager; which create high program risk when proper acquisition procedures are not followed. HSTSS is this type of project. This paper will essentially discuss the acquisition strategy as it has evolved as well as the technical strategy. These strategies have been influenced by Government acquisition streamlining , available commercial technology and the programs limited production requirements. This is what the Government’s Project Managers are facing in these times of shrinking budgets and downsizing. The importance of the services working together, and sharing funds and technology to accomplish more with less is discussed in this paper. It is essential that government and industry work together as partners to reach the program’s goals. This paper proposes a program strategy based on our experience as to what is needed to incorporate partnering and commercial technology to successfully complete your program.
