On the bias of yield-based capital budgeting methods [PDF]

open access: yes
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we present a new capital budgeting method, called the real rate of return (RRR), which has been developed for solving the inconsistency of the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) with shareholders' wealth ...

Engineered Strain in 2D Materials by Direct Growth on Deterministically Patterned Grayscale Topographies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strain is a proven technique for modifying the bandgap and enhancing carrier mobility in 2D materials. Most current strain engineering techniques rely on the post‐growth transfer of these atomically thin materials from growth substrates to target surfaces, limiting their integration into nanoelectronics.

Light‐Harvesting Photothermal Hotspots Enabled by NIR Scattering‐Absorption Coupling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By coupling the broadband scattering of nanodiamonds with the plasmonic absorption of gold nanostars, this work proposes a novel strategy for the active modulation of photon transport. This strategy creates localized photothermal hotspots in turbid media and achieves a supra‐additive heating efficiency, thereby providing a universal platform for low ...

A Soft Matrix Microenvironment Promotes Laterally Spreading Tumors via Oxidative Phosphorylation‐Dependent Cell Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are precancerous colorectal lesions characterized by a flat morphology. This study reveals a mechanochemical pathway through which a soft matrix microenvironment diminishes spatial constraints in intestinal adenomas. This process promotes deficiencies in tight junction proteins, mediated by the mechanoreceptor ADORA2B ...

Budget, Budgeting and Budgetary Control

open access: yes, 2013
Budget, budgeting and budgetary control are managerial tools for controlling economic transactions and other resources within an organisation. Basically, these terms were used by a government or a governing body for a nation’s financial planning. Similarly, these concepts- were used by monarchs and rulers of different countries in past for their ...

The Budgeting of Portuguese Public Museums: a dynamic panel data analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, the first panel on sources of funding for Portuguese publicly owned museums is explored. There has been little work in this field worldwide, and none for Portugal. Evidence in this paper seems contrary to that relating to the UK and to the

Physical Implementation of Optical Material‐Based Neural Networks Processing Enabled by Long‐Persistent Luminescence

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports on the physical implementation of optical material‐based neural processing using long‐persistent luminescence as memory‐retention and nonlinear optical material. The system performs optical‐domain preprocessing with opto‐electronic interfaces for stimulus delivery and readout, enabling real‐time demonstrations including Pong gameplay

DO FARM BUSINESSES AND BIG BUSINESSES APPLY DIFFERENT CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCEDURES? [PDF]

open access: yes
Recent studies of capital budgeting procedures used by business executives suggest increasing use of present value methods. This study compares Massachusetts greenhouse business managers use of capital budgeting procedures to those of Fortune 1000 firms.

Gate‐Dielectric Surface Engineering With Fluorinated Monolayers: Minimizing Contact Resistance and Nonidealities in OFETs

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Surface engineering of gate dielectrics with fluorinated self–assembled monolayers significantly improves the performance of organic field–effect transistors. In this study, Al2O3 functionalized with fluorinated phosphonic acids reduces contact resistance and hysteresis while achieving near‐zero threshold voltages, offering an alternative to ...
