I analyze the role of executive compensation in corporate governance. As proxies for corporate governance, I use board size, board independence, CEO-chair duality, institutional ownership concentration, CEO tenure, and an index of shareholder rights. The r ...
The subject of this thesis is the analysis of discontinuous Galerkin methods for linear partial differential equations of first or second order. Discontinuous Galerkin methods are known to satisfy a local mass conservation property. Taking a closer look on ...
This paper presents a search and retrieval framework that enables the management of Intellectual Property in the World Wide Web. This twofold framework helps users to detect digital rights infringements of their copyrighted content. In order to detect poss ...
Let X-N be an N x N random symmetric matrix with independent equidistributed entries. If the law P of the entries has a finite second moment, it was shown by Wigner [14] that the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of X-N , once renormalized by root ...
This paper seeks to add an economic contribution to the current debate on using university licensing contracts to improve access to medicines in developing countries. We build a simple model in which we have a university licensing out an academic invention ...
This paper studies obstruction-free software transactional memory systems (OFTMs). These systems are appealing, for they combine the atomicity property of transactions with a liveness property that ensures the commitment of every transaction that eventuall ...
Transactional memory (TM) is perceived as an appealing alternative to critical sections for general purpose concurrent programming. Despite the large amount of recent work on TM implementations, however, very little effort has been devoted to precisely def ...
A novel scheme for processing packets in a router is presented that provides load sharing among multiple network processors distributed within the router. It is complemented by a feedback control mechanism designed to prevent processor overload. Incoming t ...
