This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance for a sample of lodging and gaming companies. The study attempts to answers the question: do lodging and gaming companies ranked highly on CSR initiatives outperform their counterparts...

This paper proposed a computation program to predict the in-tube thermodynamic performance of the LSC (liquid–vapor separation condenser). The refrigerant circuit of the LSC was then optimized using the Penalty Factor with the predicted results. The proposed program was used to calculate a...

This study evaluates the thermal hydraulic performance of a novel liquid–vapor separation condenser (LSC). A series of experiments was performed to investigate the in-tube heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of the LSC with varying average refrigerant quality at constant mass flux. The...

This study provides value estimates for intangible assets of publicly traded hotel firms in the USA. When evaluating a firm's tangible and intangible assets, tests of model usefulness reveal that it is meaningful to decompose adjusted income (AI) into adjusted income derived from intangible...
