TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether audit quality is higher for industry audit specialists at the national and city-office levels using the framework developed in Ferguson et al. [2003] and Francis et al [2005].
Abstract: Our paper examines whether audit quality is higher for industry audit specialists at the national and city-office levels using the framework developed in Ferguson et al. [2003] and Francis et al. [2005]. We find that auditors who are both national and city-specific industry specialists have clients with the lowest abnormal accruals, suggesting that joint national and city-specific industry specialists have the highest audit quality. In addition, we find some evidence that abnormal accruals of firms audited by city-industry specialists alone (without also being national specific industry specialists) are lower than those audited by nonindustry specialists. Using alternative measures of audit quality, we find that when the auditor is both a national and a city-specific industry specialist, its clients are less likely to meet or beat analysts' earnings forecasts by one penny per share and more likely to be issued a going-concern audit opinion. Together these results provide consistent evidence that audit quality is higher when the auditor is both a national and city-specific industry specialist, suggesting that auditors' national positive network synergies and the individual auditors' deep industry knowledge at the office level are jointly important factors in delivering higher audit quality.

TL;DR: This study proposed and tested a multistage model of household response to three hazards-flood, hurricane, and toxic chemical release-in Harris County Texas and suggested that four demographic variables-gender, age, income, and ethnicity-affect the basic causal chain at different points.
Abstract: This study proposed and tested a multistage model of household response to three hazards-flood, hurricane, and toxic chemical release-in Harris County Texas The model, which extends Lindell and Perry's (1992, 2004) Protective Action Decision Model, proposed a basic causal chain from hazard proximity through hazard experience and perceived personal risk to expectations of continued residence in the home and adoption of household hazard adjustments Data from 321 households generally supported the model, but the mediating effects of hazard experience and perceived personal risk were partial rather than complete In addition, the data suggested that four demographic variables-gender, age, income, and ethnicity-affect the basic causal chain at different points

TL;DR: A multicenter, double-blind clinical trial compared fixed-dose subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin given once daily with adjusted-dose intravenous heparIn given by continuous infusion for the initial treatment of patients with proximal-vein thrombosis, using objective documentation of clinical outcomes.
Abstract: Background. Low-molecular-weight heparin has a high bioavailability and a prolonged half-life in comparison with conventional unfractionated heparin. Limited data are available for low-molecular-weight heparin as compared with unfractionated heparin for the treatment of deep-vein thrombosis. Methods. In a multicenter, double-blind clinical trial, we compared fixed-dose subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin given once daily with adjusted-dose intravenous heparin given by continuous infusion for the initial treatment of patients with proximal-vein thrombosis, using objective documentation of clinical outcomes. Results. Six of 213 patients who received low-molecular-weight heparin (2.8 percent) and 15 of 219 patients who received intravenous heparin (6.9 percent) had new episodes of venous thromboembolism (P = 0.07; 95 percent confidence interval for the difference, 0.02 percent to 8.1 percent). Major bleeding associated with initial therapy occurred in 1 patient receiving low-molecular-weight h...

TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.
Abstract: It has previously been thought that there was a steep Cretaceous and Cenozoic radiation of marine invertebrates. This pattern can be replicated with a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens, but only when older analytical protocols are used. Moreover, analyses that employ sampling standardization and more robust counting methods show a modest rise in diversity with no clear trend after the mid-Cretaceous. Globally, locally, and at both high and low latitudes, diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic. The ratio of global to local richness has changed little, and a latitudinal diversity gradient was present in the early Paleozoic.

TL;DR: A competing model that develops a non-resource-based account of self-control is advanced, suggesting that apparent regulatory failures reflect the motivated switching of task priorities as people strive to strike an optimal balance between engaging cognitive labor to pursue 'have- to' goals versus preferring cognitive leisure in the pursuit of 'want-to' goals.
