Cross-border M&As in Related and Technology-intensive Industries : Evidence on the Dynamics of Spatial Distance, Industry Context, and Completion Likelihood of International Takeovers

Many announced cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are never brought to completion despite potential negative consequences to acquirers and targets. This paper presented evidence on the dynamic effects of spatial distance and two industry-level characteristics, namely industry relatedness between the two firms and technological intensity, on the completion likelihood of cross-border M

Survey of 23 Nordic university hospitals showed that 77% lacked written procedures for measuring and interpreting blood pressure in infants

Aim: This study determined the use of standardised procedures for infant noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements in the Nordic countries and aimed to identify factors included in the standardisation and interpretation of NIBP measurements in infants. Methods: A cross-sectional electronic questionnaire survey was sent to 84 physicians in all 23 university hospitals in Sweden, Norway, Denmark

First results from the Swedish National Pancreatic and Periampullary Cancer Registry

Background: Despite improvements in therapy regimens over the past decades, overall survival rates for pancreatic and periampullary cancer are poor. Specific cancer registries are set up in various nations to regional differences and to enable larger prospective trials. The aim of this study was to describe the Swedish register, including possibilities to improve diagnostic work-ups, treatment, an

Comment on: “Corrections to the Mathematical Formulation of a Backwards Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model” by Gibson and Sailor (2012: Boundary-Layer Meteorology 145, 399 - 406)

We discuss the results of Gibson and Sailor (Boundary-Layer Meteorol 145:399–406, 2012)who suggest several corrections to themathematical formulation of the Lagrangianparticle dispersion model of Rotach et al. (Q J R Meteorol Soc 122:367–389, 1996). Whilemost of the suggested corrections had already been implemented in the 1990s, one suggestedcorrection raises a valid point, but results in a viola

Dynamic evaluation of the immune infiltrate and immune function genes as predictive markers for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer

Gene expression (GE) signatures and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) enumeration are predictive for response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HR- and in HER2+ breast cancer, but data are conflicting in HR+/HER2- disease. This study aimed to explore their predictive value in this subset, measured both at baseline and after short exposure to chemotherapy. Specifically, the PROMIX phase 2 trial enr

What Influences Urban Mothers' Decisions on What to Feed Their Children Aged Under Five-The Case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Mothers carry the prime responsibility for childcare and feeding in low-income countries. Understanding their experiences in providing food for their children is paramount to informing efforts to improve the nutritional status of children. Such information is lacking in Sub-Saharan Africa. To understand what influences urban mothers' food acquisition and their motivations for selecting food for th

Verification of radome problems - Part I

This paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical, dielectric (possibly lossy) shell. The sources to the problem are located inside the spherical, dielectric shell. Two different source configurations are investigated - an off-center located electric dipole and a circular Huygens surface. An exact modal series solution of the transmission problem is found and the solutiThis paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical,dielectric (possibly lossy) shell.

Tunable Low Loss 1D Surface Plasmons in InAs Nanowires

Due to the ability to manipulate photons at nanoscale, plasmonics has become one of the most important branches in nanophotonics. The prerequisites for the technological application of plasmons include high confining ability (λ0/λp), low damping, and easy tunability. However, plasmons in typical plasmonic materials, i.e., noble metals, cannot satisfy these three requirements simultaneously and cau

Remote sensing of yields : Application of UAV imagery-derived ndvi for estimating maize vigor and yields in complex farming systems in Sub-Saharan Africa

The application of remote sensing methods to assess crop vigor and yields has had limited applications in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due largely to limitations associated with satellite images. The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in recent times opens up new possibilities for remotely sensing crop status and yields even on complex smallholder farms. This study demonstrates the applicabili
