Investment centre manager's multiperiod fairness perceptions and intertemporal dependency
Accounting &Finance, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-36, March 2025.Abstract This paper explores the motivation of investment centre managers when their investment centre's performance is affected by decisions made by their predecessor. Through a qualitative case study of a Japanese manufacturer, the effectiveness of conventional remedies for motivational issues and further motivational issues caused by the same ...

Joint Source-Channel Coding Using Variable-Length Error-Correcting Codes
Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2010 This paper explores the performance of both source coding and error-correction in a single coding step. Such joint source-channel coding is done here using codewords of varying lengths that have particular distance properties with each other, which ...

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Tight Bounds on the Rényi Entropy via Majorization with Applications to Guessing and Compression
Entropy, 2018 This paper provides tight bounds on the Rényi entropy of a function of a discrete random variable with a finite number of possible values, where the considered function is not one to one. To that end, a tight lower bound on the Rényi entropy of

Huffman coding with unequal letter costs [PDF]
Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '02, 2002 (MATH) In the standard Huffman coding problem, one is given a set of words and for each word a positive frequency. The goal is to encode each word w as a codeword c(w) over a given alphabet. The encoding must be prefix free (no codeword is a prefix of any other) and should minimize the weighted average codeword size Σw freq w, |c(w)|. The problem has a

Early Labor Market Outcomes of Young Adults From Same‐Sex Families: Evidence From Population Data
Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study offers the first population‐based evidence on how young adults from same‐sex families fare when entering the labor market shortly after leaving full‐time education. Background Same‐sex couples' parenting rights remain controversial in many countries.

Modified HuffBit Compress Algorithm – An Application of R
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2018 The databases of genomic sequences are growing at an explicative rate because of the increasing growth of living organisms. Compressing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences is a momentous task as the databases are getting closest to its threshold ...

Equal Time, Unequal Labor Division: Adolescents' Domestic Labor Time During the COVID‐19 Pandemic
Sociological Inquiry, EarlyView.While existing research offers mixed evidence on how the COVID‐19 pandemic affected adults' division of housework, adolescents have remained largely overlooked in this regard. Using nationally representative data from the 2019–2021 American Time Use Survey and Current Population Survey, this study examines changes in adolescents' unpaid labor before ...
