Abstract
Many domains are best described as an aliation network in which there are entities such as actors, events and organizations linked together in a variety of relationships. Relational classication in these domains requires the collective classication of both entities and relationships. In this paper, we investigate the use of relational Markov networks (RMN) for relational classication in aliation networks.
ABSTRACT
Marketing campaigns and strategies: We are all constantly exposed to their bombardment in our every day life, but few understand the undergoing revolution this field is experiencing to finally measure, in financial terms, its impact. Gone are the days of the creative marketingand to stay is the era of quantifiable marketing, a new stage in the field that simply wants to measure if the marketing effort has yielded an impact on what really counts: selling more, to more people, more often and at a higher margin. The following paper targets the sponsorship side of the marketing field, whether expos and trade shows, sponsorships of musical events, recreational gatherings, or company driven shows.
Car racing company sued oil company for breach of contract after oil company terminated its sponsorship agreement with racing company. The Superior Court of San Diego County, No. GIN003370, Richard G. Cline, J., entered judgment for racing company, and oil company appealed. The Court of Appeal, Appellate Division, O'Rourke, J., held that: (1) oil company could raise for the first time on appeal argument that parol evidence was inconsistent with the terms of the integrated sponsorship agreement; (2) sponsorship agreement was only partially integrated with respect to personal appearance provision; and (3) extrinsic evidence of custom and usage was admissible
1. Introduction and theoretical framework
Mathematics education supervisors and leaders have been encouraging the use of technology, such as Dynamic Geometry Systems (DGSs), in the classroom (for example, [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]). Several studies in the teaching and learning of Geometry have shown that a DGS can foster learners’ constructions and ways of thinking, and they have shown how, thanks to the dragging tool, a DGS can be powerful for explorations in open problem situations [8, 9, 10]. In this chapter we focus on reasoning and conjecture-generation in Geometry when a DGS, and in particular, the dragging tool, is used. A feature offered by a DGS is the dragging tool, that can be exploited in various ways by the solver, and that can support conjecture-generation. Research carried out by Arzarello, Olivero, Paola, and Robutti [9, 11] led to the description of a set of dragging modalities, classified through an a posteriori analysis of solvers’ work, that can be...
Abstract
We study sponsor-based business model innovations where a firm monetizes its product through sponsors rather than setting prices to its customer base. We analyze strategic interactions between an innovative entrant and an incumbent where the incumbent may imitate the entrant’s business model innovation once it is revealed. We find that an entrant needs to strategically choose whether to reveal its innovation by competing through the new business model, or conceal it by adopting a traditional business model. We show that the value of business model innovation may be so substantial that an incumbent may prefer to compete in a duopoly rather than to remain a monopolist.
The importance of inventories has been recognized for centuries. Initially, they were significant primarily for property tax purposes; however, they are also essential in accounting for results of operations during any stated period representing only a portion of the life of an enterprise. More recently, the emphasis has been upon their effect in the determination of income for tax purposes.
These are challenging times for those who roam the corridors of power in the highest echelons of international sport, with some international sports federations (notably the two biggest players, the International Olympic Committee and FIFA) having experienced crises of governance and well-publicised allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the past decade or so. The Salt Lake City Olympic Games, of course, comes to mind.
Methods
This study examined sponsorship of organizations and events in the U.S. by alcohol brands from 2010-2013. The top 75 brands of alcohol consumed by underage drinkers were identified based on a previously conducted national internet-based survey. For each of these brands, a systematic search for sponsorships was conducted using Google.
Abstract
This paper applies a two-sided matching model to investigate the formations of sports sponsorships using a dataset containing the shirt sponsorships from 43 English football clubs during the period from 1990 to 2010. We find that sponsorships become less valuable as the distance between the club and the sponsor’s head office grows and that better-performing clubs can attract more distant sponsors. In addition, there is an assortative matching between a club’s attendance and a sponsor’s revenue. Based on the estimates from the two-sided matching model, we simulate the counterfactual matching outcomes if sponsorships on alcohol and gambling are banned. Our estimates suggest that such bans will not have the biggest impact on the (relatively successful) clubs that currently have alcohol and gambling sponsors. Instead, it is clubs with low attendance and clubs in low income, less populated areas will be most affected.
Private vs. Public Nuisance
In general, a nuisance is defined as a “condition, activity, or situation (such as a loud noise or foul odor) that interferes with the use or enjoyment of property….” The interference created must be unreasonable and substantial to qualify as a nuisance. When this interference affects the use and enjoyment of a single or small group of properties it is considered a private nuisance.
A tree from one property that has fallen across the entrance of the neighboring driveway is an example of a private nuisance. However, when an activity unreasonably interferes “with a right common to the general public,” it is considered a public nuisance. For example, if the tree from the earlier scenario had fallen and blocked access to a public road it would be a public nuisance. At times, conduct may be both a private and a public nuisance if it causes both a particular harm to a specific property and a more generalized harm to the greater community
ABSTRACT
Ambient air in the community holds a mixture of chemicals from the everyday activities of it’ citizens and the commercial enterprises that make up modern day society. Exposure to chemicals in the ambient air is a part of life and a part of a community. However, from time to time citizens find the odors of these chemicals objectionable and at some point declare them a nuisance. Additionally, citizens frequently report adverse health effects from these chemicals. An odor nuisance can be a result of a series of odor episodes experienced by a citizen. The frequency of these episodes, the duration of each odor episode, the intensity of the odors, and the character of the odors all contribute to the nuisance experience and the resulting citizen complaint.
THE DREAM OF INTELLECTUAL UNITY first came to full flower in the original Enlightenment, an Icarian flight of the mind that spanned the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A vision of secular knowledge in the service of human rights and human progress, it was the West's greatest contribution to civilization. It launched the modern era for the whole world; we are all its legatees. Then it failed.
Abstract
Since the first day of motorsport history, automotive racing has been a noble sport category due to its high cost of participation. After entering the 21th century, the global motorsport industry has had a tendency to go downhill due to the economic slump. On the other hand, today’s motor racing is no longer a game simply about who is going faster, but starts focusing more on the challenge of sustainability. This strategic change requires merging varies cross-field technologies and sufficient financial support. Unfortunately, under the fragile economic status, the growth of today’s many well-developed motorsport industry participants goes into a bottleneck. In comparison to those countries that have a relatively mature motorsport industry, China shows the world a bigger potential of developing opportunities within the last 20 years. There is no doubt that the world motorsport industry will regain its exuberant vitality by the arrival of such a strong force from Asia. However, in order to diminish the obstacles of being a...
