Recall Fox

indiscutivelmente histórica mas que acabava irritando muito as pessoas era a das Casas Buri. Não havia consumidor que não fosse o tempo todo bombardeado por aquele 'Buri, Buri, Buri' que acabava martelando a memória de cada um até a exaustão. O recall é inevitável - mas é um recall que funciona quase a contragosto. As pessoas costumam acreditar que, seja como for, esse tipo de campanha acaba sendo eficiente e que é sempre infalível. Não é. Com um terço do investimento e uma campanha mais…

between enterprise value to earnings before interest and taxes, depreciation, and amortization to value firms. Note that enterprise value can be defined either in terms of the asset or the liability side of the balance sheet (see Exhibit 8–3). Recall that, in Chapter 7, enterprise value was discussed from the perspective of the asset side or “left-hand side” of the balance sheet as the present value of free cash flow to the firm (i.e., cash flows generated from operating assets and…

important in thermodynamic analyses, is omitted here in favor of its inverse, the density . Recall that thermodynamic properties describe the state of a system, i.e., a collection of matter of fixed identity which interacts with its surroundings. In most cases here the system will be a small fluid element, and all properties will be assumed to be continuum properties of the flow field: (x, y, z, t), etc. Recall also that thermodynamics is normally concerned with static systems, whereas…

States. 63 To the naive advocate of the separation of powers, this may seem odd. After all, if concentrated lawmaking power is so dangerous, the English and the Germans should be the people most in need of term limits. The paradox dissolves when one recalls how powerfully the restraints of political party operate on the parliamentary leader. Despite the appearance of unchecked power, the PM is subject to a continuing plebiscite from both backbenchers in her own party and the competing…

The study was largely as he had left it, intact, a museum of sorts. When the children were old enough, she would let them touch and read his books, dip into his papers and files. She often had done the same in those first months. Now she couldn't recall the last time she had sat at his desk. Settling herself there, she stared down the painting opposite. It was a liverish red that clotted to blackness at the center. "It makes me think of childbirth," she had told Cal, distaste in her…

protocols: TCP and UDP. Each builds on the service provided by IP, but they do so in different ways to provide different kinds of channels, which are used by application protocols with different needs. TCP and UDP have one function in common: addressing. Recall that IP delivers packets to hosts; clearly, a finer granularity of addressing is needed to get a packet to a particular application, perhaps one of many using the network in the same host. Both TCP and UDP use addresses called port…

variables. Here we will cover two possibilities that often appear in applied work. In reading applied work in the social sciences, you will often encounter regression equations where the dependent variable appears in logarithmic form. Why is this done? Recall the wage-education example, where we regressed hourly wage on years of education. We obtained a slope estimate of 0.54 [see equation (2.27)], which means that each additional year of education is predicted to increase hourly wage by…

que se necesitaba urgentemente un conocimiento más amplio de lo que ha sido producido por fuera de las antropologías nor-atlánticas. Su intención encontró el apoyo entusiasta de Sydel Silverman, presidente de la fundación en la época, y Richard Fox, editor entonces del Current Anthropology. Para abordar esto, Gustavo Lins Ribeiro formuló una primera propuesta para un simposio sobre las dimensiones internacionales de la antropología, para realizarse en 1996. El proyecto, sin…

started through. She had not taken two steps before the woman hissed, "Stop!" Startled, Kerian did stop, looking at her companion. Again, she saw pity in the woman's eyes. From between clenched teeth, Ayensha said, "Check inside. There could be a fox denning there or a lynx or bear." She pulled away from Kerian and balanced with her hand against one of the tall stones. Kerian didn't think any of those things were true, but she put her hand to the knife at her belt—the knife slipped…

consequences to human life, health, wealth, or the environment. The assessment of risk is typically based on the expected value of the conditional probability of the event occurring times the consequence of the event given that it has transpired. Tversky and Fox stated, “much of the study of decision making is concerned with the assessment of these values and the manner in which they are–or should be–combined” (1995, p. 269). An additional perspective on risk is reproduced in Elmiger and…
