TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how Australian asset revaluations are associated with share prices and non market-based firm value estimates and find that revalued financial, tangible, and intangible assets can be value-relevant.
Abstract: This study investigates how Australian asset revaluations are associated with share prices and non market-based firm value estimates. We find that revalued financial, tangible, and intangible assets can be value-relevant. Although prior research presages the financial assets findings, the intangible assets findings are striking in strength and consistency. Findings for property, plant, and equipment are less consistent. Also, we find stronger value-relevance for plant and equipment than for property, suggesting revalued operating assets are more value-relevant. Perhaps surprisingly, the market does not distinguish director- and independent appraiser-based valuations, consistent with directors' enhancing value estimates by using their private information countervailing distorting effects associated with management discretion. Also, even several year old revalued amounts are value-relevant, suggesting timeliness is not critical for long-term asset revaluations. Finally, evidence indicates that investors value differently upward and downward revaluations, suggesting the discretionary nature of asset write-ups can affect value-relevance.

TL;DR: A contingent model in which task interdependence moderates the effect of management support on implementation success is proposed, and a meta-analysis of the empirical literature provides strong support for the model and begins to explain the wide variance in empirical findings.
Abstract: Management support is considered to be a critical factor in the successful implementation of information systems innovations. The literature suggests a complex relationship between management support and implementation success. However, the empirical literature typically hypothesizes and tests a simple main-effects model. Drawing upon the role of the institutional context and metastructuration actions, we propose a contingent model in which task interdependence moderates the effect of management support on implementation success. A meta-analysis of the empirical literature provides strong support for the model and begins to explain the wide variance in empirical findings. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed some recent contributions to "alternative" accounting research in relation to the changes which have taken place in the public sector, and which have altered the structure of the sector.
Abstract: Reviews some recent contributions to “alternative” accounting research in relation to the changes which have taken place in the public sector, and which have altered the structure of the sector. An important task for the authors therefore has been to define what they view as comprising the public sector. Concludes that there is still a paucity of research in this domain. There are huge opportunities, and great need, for evaluative work and international comparisons. There is also a need to focus on different phases in the institutional financial cycle. Raises series of questions about the emergence of the “new” accounting and the ways in which it is institutionalized and maintained.

TL;DR: The lncRNAdb database as discussed by the authors provides users with a comprehensive, manually curated reference database of 287 eukaryotic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes that have been described independently in the scientific literature.
Abstract: Despite the prevalence of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes in eukaryotic genomes, only a small proportion have been examined for biological function. lncRNAdb, available at http://lncrnadb.org, provides users with a comprehensive, manually curated reference database of 287 eukaryotic lncRNAs that have been described independently in the scientific literature. In addition to capturing a great proportion of the recent literature describing functions for individual lncRNAs, lncRNAdb now offers an improved user interface enabling greater accessibility to sequence information, expression data and the literature. The new features in lncRNAdb include the integration of Illumina Body Atlas expression profiles, nucleotide sequence information, a BLAST search tool and easy export of content via direct download or a REST API. lncRNAdb is now endorsed by RNAcentral and is in compliance with the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration.

TL;DR: The reasons why the Monte Carlo method has evolved from a ‘last resort’ solution to a leading methodology that permeates much of contemporary science, finance, and engineering are explored.
Abstract: Since the beginning of electronic computing, people have been interested in carrying out random experiments on a computer. Such Monte Carlo techniques are now an essential ingredient in many quantitative investigations. Why is the Monte Carlo method MCM so important today? This article explores the reasons why the MCM has evolved from a 'last resort' solution to a leading methodology that permeates much of contemporary science, finance, and engineering.
