TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the value impact of CSR activities relies heavily on the industry-specific relative position of the firm and that firms that distinguish themselves over their peers are associated with increased firm value.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a methodology of a three-step encoding workflow: method selection by signal characteristics, parameter optimization by error metrics between original and reconstructed signals, and validation by comparison of the original signal and the encoded spike train.
Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) receive trains of spiking events as inputs. In order to design efficient SNN systems, real-valued signals must be optimally encoded into spike trains so that the task-relevant information is retained. This paper provides a systematic quantitative and qualitative analysis and guidelines for optimal temporal encoding. It proposes a methodology of a three-step encoding workflow: method selection by signal characteristics, parameter optimization by error metrics between original and reconstructed signals, and validation by comparison of the original signal and the encoded spike train. Four encoding methods are analyzed: one stimulus estimation [Ben’s Spiker algorithm (BSA)] and three temporal contrast [threshold-based, step-forward (SW), and moving-window (MW)] encodings. A short theoretical analysis is provided, and the extended quantitative analysis is carried out applying four types of test signals: step-wise signal, smooth (sinusoid) signal with added noise, trended smooth signal, and event-like smooth signal. Various time-domain and frequency spectrum properties are explored, and a comparison is provided. BSA, the only method providing unipolar spikes, was shown to be ineffective for step-wise signals, but it can follow smoothly changing signals if filter coefficients are scaled appropriately. Producing bipolar (positive and negative) spike trains, SW encoding was most effective for all types of signals as it proved to be robust and easy to optimize. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be recommended as the error metric for parameter optimization. Currently, only a visual check is available for final validation.

TL;DR: In a finite irreducible Markov chain with stationary probabilities {π i } and mean first passage times m ij (mean recurrence time when i = ǫ) it was first shown, by Kemeny and Snell (1960), that is a constant, K, (Kemeny's constant) not depending on i.
Abstract: In a finite irreducible Markov chain with stationary probabilities {π i } and mean first passage times m ij (mean recurrence time when i = j) it was first shown, by Kemeny and Snell (1960), that is a constant, K, (Kemeny's constant) not depending on i. A variety of techniques for finding expressions and bounds for K are given. The main interpretation focuses on its role as the expected time to mixing in a Markov chain. Various applications are considered including perturbation results, mixing on directed graphs and its relation to the Kirchhoff index of regular graphs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors see markets as complex systems that evolve through time, and see marketing discipline as an institutional perspective when examining markets, and adopt an institutional view when examining them.
Abstract: There is increasing interest in the marketing discipline to adopt an institutional perspective when examining markets. This requires seeing markets as complex systems that evolve through time, rath...

TL;DR: The King-Devick test helped identify cognitive impairment in players without clinically observable symptoms by using the K-D test routinely following matches and the rate of undetected concussion was higher than detected concussions.
