Accounting Hall of Fame

The Accounting Hall of Fame was established in 1950 at The Ohio State University by the Faculty of Accounting in the College of Administrative Science and with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the University, for the purpose of honoring accountants who have made or are making significant contributions to the advancement of accounting since the beginning of the twentieth century. This year the 35th accountant has been elected to the Hall

Hall of Fame History Conference: A report; U.S. Accounting History: 1965-1990

The Academy held its annual research conference on U.S. Accounting History: 1965-1990, an Accounting Hall of Fame symposium co-sponsored with The Ohio State University (where the Hall is located) on November 20-21, 1992. The conference consisted of three panel discussions; each one on U.S. accounting history from a different perspective: academic, industrial, and professional. The distinguished panelists who helped create much of this history included ten Accounting Hall of Fame members: Robert Anthony (Harvard University); Norton Bedford (University of Illinois); Sidney Davidson (University of Chicago); Philip DeFliese (Columbia University and Coopers & Lybrand); Yuji Ijiri (Carnegie-Mellon University); Charles T. Horngren (Stanford University); Robert K. Mautz (Universities of Illinois and Michigan); Herbert E. Miller (Michigan State University and University of Georgia); Maurice Moonitz (University of California); and David Solomons (London School of Economics and the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania), the 1992 Hall inductee. Other panelists included the current CFO\u27s of five large corporations: Eugene Flegm (General Motors); Gaylen Larson (Household International); Michael Sullivan (Sun Oil); Christopher Steffen (Honeywell); and John Quindlen (DuPont). Panelists from the profession included leaders of five of the Big Six firms: J. Michael Cook (Deloitte & Touche); Robert Elliott (KPMG Peat Marwick); Duane Kullberg (Arthur Andersen & Co.); Raymond Lauver (Price Waterhouse); and Philip DeFliese (Coopers and Lybrand). Ray Groves (Ernst & Young), scheduled to participate, was unable to attend. Moderators for the sessions were Robert K. Mautz, Steve Zeff (Rice University), and James Don Edwards (University of Georgia). Special guests at the conference included Dennis Beresford (Chairman, FASB)

Search for heavy resonances decaying to two Higgs bosons in final states containing four b quarks

A search is presented for narrow heavy resonances X decaying into pairs of Higgs bosons (H) in proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at root s = 8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). The search considers HH resonances with masses between 1 and 3 TeV, having final states of two b quark pairs. Each Higgs boson is produced with large momentum, and the hadronization products of the pair of b quarks can usually be reconstructed as single large jets. The background from multijet and t (t) over bar events is significantly reduced by applying requirements related to the flavor of the jet, its mass, and its substructure. The signal would be identified as a peak on top of the dijet invariant mass spectrum of the remaining background events. No evidence is observed for such a signal. Upper limits obtained at 95 confidence level for the product of the production cross section and branching fraction sigma(gg -> X) B(X -> HH -> b (b) over barb (b) over bar) range from 10 to 1.5 fb for the mass of X from 1.15 to 2.0 TeV, significantly extending previous searches. For a warped extra dimension theory with amass scale Lambda(R) = 1 TeV, the data exclude radion scalar masses between 1.15 and 1.55 TeV

Measurement of the Splitting Function in &ITpp &ITand Pb-Pb Collisions at root&ITsNN&IT=5.02 TeV

Data from heavy ion collisions suggest that the evolution of a parton shower is modified by interactions with the color charges in the dense partonic medium created in these collisions, but it is not known where in the shower evolution the modifications occur. The momentum ratio of the two leading partons, resolved as subjets, provides information about the parton shower evolution. This substructure observable, known as the splitting function, reflects the process of a parton splitting into two other partons and has been measured for jets with transverse momentum between 140 and 500 GeV, in pp and PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair. In central PbPb collisions, the splitting function indicates a more unbalanced momentum ratio, compared to peripheral PbPb and pp collisions.. The measurements are compared to various predictions from event generators and analytical calculations.Peer reviewe
