TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the predictions of Datar, Feltham, and Hughes 1991 and Hughes 1986 between auditor choice, earnings disclosure, and retained ownership in U.S. firms making initial public offerings of securities.
Abstract: Using a system of three simultaneous equations, we test the predictions of Datar, Feltham, and Hughes 1991 and Hughes 1986 between auditor choice, earnings disclosures, and retained ownership in U.S. firms making initial public offerings of securities. Using a sample of initial public offerings between 1990 and 1997, we find that the demand for high-quality auditors increases with firm risk. Additionally, we find that auditor choice, earnings disclosure, and risk are determinants of retained ownership, which is consistent with the predictions of Datar et al. and Hughes that auditor choice and direct disclosure are substitute signals for ownership retention. Further, our results suggest that the signals chosen (i.e., retained ownership, auditor choice, and disclosure) are related through their cost structures and are chosen jointly to minimize the overall cost to the entrepreneur.

TL;DR: Gizzard shad suppressed Ceratium, the only phytoplankton species large enough to be ingested at a maximum rate and did not have a significant effect on populations of Synedra, Peridinium, Navicula, Kirchneriella, Cyclotella, and Chlamydomonas.
Abstract: The ingestion rates of filter-feeding gizzard shad for different sizes of suspended particles were measured using mixtures of microspheres and zooplankton. Ingestion rate increases as a function of particle size, leveling off at 60 pm. The particle-size-dependent ingestion rates were consistent with a model of filtering efficiency based on the cumulative frequency of interraker distances of gizzard shad gill rakers. Comparison of ponds containing gizzard shad with control ponds without fish showed that gizzard shad suppressed Ceratium, the only phytoplankton species large enough to be ingested at a maximum rate. Gizzard shad did not have a significant effect on populations of Synedra, Peridinium, Navicula, Kirchneriella, Cyclotella, and Chlamydomonas. Populations of Ankistrodesmus, Cryptomonas, Cosmarium, Rhodomonas, and algae and bacteria from 2-4 pm were enhanced by gizzard shad.

TL;DR: Aihara et al. as mentioned in this paper introduced a large systematic shift in the astrometry over a large area around the north celestial pole, where the positions of all sources in the affected area are offset by roughly 250 mas in a northwest direction.
Abstract: Section 3.5 of Aihara et al. (2011) described various sources of systematic error in the astrometry of the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In addition to these sources of error, there is an additional and more serious error, which introduces a large systematic shift in the astrometry over a large area around the north celestial pole. The region has irregular boundaries but in places extends as far south as declination δ ≈ 41◦. The sense of the shift is that the positions of all sources in the affected area are offset by roughly 250 mas in a northwest direction. We have updated the SDSS online documentation to reflect these errors, and to provide detailed quality information for each SDSS field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate determinants of sales organization effectiveness in a sample of British companies, and contribute to an important new research stream by following recent empirical studies in the USA and Australia.
Abstract: This research evaluates determinants of sales organization effectiveness in a sample of British companies, and contributes to an important new research stream by following recent empirical studies in the USA and Australia. We discuss a model of sales organization effectiveness determined by salesforce outcome performance and behavioural performance, as well as by the use of a behaviour-based control approach. Sales territory design is also considered as a particularly important managerial variable, which has received little analytical attention in the traditional literature, but which appears to be an important influence on the effectiveness of the sales operation. Our exploratory path analytical model suggests that sales territory design has a large effect on sales organization effectiveness both directly, and indirectly through its relationship with salesforce behavioural performance. These findings are somewhat different to those in similar studies in other countries, and suggest some important implications for managers as well as for researchers in this field.
