This paper provides evidence on the role of large shareholders in monitoring company value from a developing country, India, whose corporate governance system is a hybrid of the ousider-dominated-market-based systems of the UK and the US and the insider-dominated-bank-based systems of Germany...

The detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and the multifractal DFA (MF-DFA) techniques are employed to characterize the pseudorapidity (η) distribution of charged mesons produced in 28Si+Ag/Br interaction at 14.5 GeV/nucleon and 32S+Ag/Br interaction at 200 GeV/nucleon. Various multifractal...

A theoretical study has been carried out to analyse the available results from the inelastic neutron scattering experiment performed on a quasi-two dimensional spin- \hbox{$\frac{1}{2}$} 1 2 ferromagnetic material K<Subscript>2</Subscript>CuF<Subscript>4</Subscript>. Our formalism is based on a conventional semi-classical like treatment...</subscript></subscript>

During the winter season (November–March) of 2003–2004 and 2004–2005 a field study was carried out at the Research Farm of the University (Latitude 22°58′N, Longitude 88°31′E and altitude 9.75mamsl), Gayeshpur, India. Aim of the study was to evaluate the sole and interactive effect...

The landslide studies can be categorized as pre- and postdisaster studies. The predisaster studies include spatial prediction of potential landslide zones known as landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) mapping to identify the areas/locales susceptible to landslide hazard. The LSZ maps provide...

This paper applies the Nakagami-m distribution for the derivation of unit hydrograph (UH). The applicability of this distribution was verified using the data from 13 watersheds and results were compared with other distributions, viz., Gamma (GM), Beta, normal (NL), log-normal (LN), Weibull (WB),...

Flood inundation extent is highly dependent on intensive rainfall and topography of floodplain. This paper presents a study to develop a flood inundation model for partially gauged upper Ganga catchment. For design flood computations, 100-year return period of 1 h duration rainfall is adopted....

The unit hydrograph (UH) is one of the commonly employed techniques for the determination of flood hydrographs. Since the UH satisfies all the properties of a probability distribution function (PDF), it seems logical that PDFs can be employed for deriving the UH. In practice, the gamma...

Soil water and phosphorus availabilities play crucial role in yield and water use pattern of pulse crops. A field experiment with rajmash (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as a test crop was carried out during the winter seasons of 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 on a sandy loam soil (Aeric Haplaquept) in eastern...
