Ordered Conflict Resolution
Ordered conflict resolution: understanding her tenets cost Keynes his life and Arrow to live under extortionate threat. Now that the Supreme Court of the United States has conquered the Informal Capital Market Cartelās stranglehold on academic freedom, the literature can now vindicate impossibility- resolved social choice theory in the venue of a marriage between ethics and economics; as Sen has pled need be the case. This paper introduces ordered conflict resolution and her two impossibility-resolving axioms in effecting (individual: societal) well-being transitivity.ReĢsolution ordonneĢe de conflit: comprendre les principes qui ont couĢteĢ la vie aĢ Keynes et fait vivre Arrow sous des menaces exorbitantes. Maintenant que la Cour SupreĢme des Etats-Unis a vaincu le cartel informel du marcheĢ des capitaux eĢtranglant la liberteĢ acadeĢmique, la litteĢrature peut deĢsormais revendiquer la reĢsolution-lāimpossibiliteĢ de la theĢorie du choix social dans lāideĢe dāun mariage entre lāeĢthique et lāeĢconomie, comme Sen le plaide. Ce papier introduit une reĢsolution ordonneĢe du conflit et ces deux axiomes dāimpossibiliteĢ en effectuant une transitiviteĢ du bien-eĢtre (individuel : social)
Ordered Model Processes, Reference Declaration And The Economic Organization: Implications For A Balanced Scorecard Contextual Framework
Les Tableaux de Bord de la Performance ont eĢteĢ acclameĢs avec raison depuis leur introduction en 1992, mais les intellectuels continuent encore aĢ eĢtudier leurs aspects pragmatiques. Ce papier contribue aĢ la litteĢrature sur les Tableaux de Bord de la Performance, tout dāabord, en offrant une explication logique quant aĢ leur succeĢs et ensuite, en preĢsentant un cadre de travail contextuel de tableaux de bord de la performance pour une structure de gestion hieĢrarchiseĢe.
Le cadre de travail contextuel reĢforme la perspective dāapprentissage et de croissance du tableau de bord de la performance (i) en effectuant la transition de reĢfeĢrence (subjective/objective), et (ii) en reconnaissant que la Perspective dāApprentissage et de Croissance implique avant tout une incidence de formulation strateĢgique dāune extra-entiteĢ. Le transfert de lāincidence (intra-entiteĢ/extra-entiteĢ) reĢconcilie lāeĢvolution de la position de politique de gestion non ordonneĢe [Contenu: (Contenu: Contexte): Contexte] quāest la Perspective dāApprentissage et de Croissance Concomitante.
Le cadre de travail supplante eĢgalement les Perspectives des Tableaux de Bord de la Performances deĢveloppeĢs par Kaplan et Norton en ajoutant la perspective de politique sociale qui manquait. La perspective manquante implique une transition de reĢfeĢrence objective [(position endogeĢne, perspective exogeĢne): (position exogeĢne, perspective exogeĢne)]. De tels signaux de transition [Contenu: (Contenu: Contexte): Contexte] ordonnent lāeĢvolution de la position de politique de gestion.Since its 1992 introduction, the Balanced Scorecard has received deserving accolades while academics continue investigating its pragmatic aspects. This paper contributes to the Balanced Scorecard literature, first, by proffering a logical explanation for its successful acclaim and, second, by setting forth an ordered management structure Balanced Scorecard contextual framework.
The contextual framework reforms the Balanced Scorecardās Learning and Growth Perspective by (i) effecting (subjective: objective) reference transition, and (ii) recognizing that the Learning and Growth Perspective involves first instance extra-entity strategy formulation incidence. The (intra-entity: extra- entity) incidence shift reconciles unordered [Content: (Content: Context): Context] management policy position progression that is Learning and Growth Perspective concomitant.
The framework also supplants the Kaplan and Norton Balanced Scorecard Perspectives with the missing social policy perspective. The missing perspective involves [(endogenous-position, exogenous- perspective): (exogenous-position, exogenous-perspective)] objective reference transition. Such a transition signals ordered [Content: (Content: Context): Context] management policy position progression
Heavy Meson Masses in Chiral Perturbation Theory with Heavy Quark Symmetry
The and hyperfine mass splittings of mesons containing a single heavy
quark are computed to one-loop order in chiral perturbation theory with heavy
quark spin symmetry. Electromagnetic contributions of order are
included. The observed values of the mass splittings are consistent with the
one-loop chiral perturbation theory calculation. The hyperfine splitting
is equal to times the
hyperfine splitting upto
electromagnetic contributions. The small observed value of the hyperfine
splitting implies that the hyperfine splitting is completely dominated by
electromagnetic mass contributions.Comment: (28 pages, 2 figures included using uufiles, uses harvmac),

Heavy Meson Hyperfine Splittings: A Puzzle for Heavy Quark Chiral Perturbation Theory
We show that there is a large discrepancy between the expected light flavor
dependence of the heavy pseudoscalar--vector mass splittings and the measured
values. We demonstrate that the one--loop calculation is unreliable. Moreover,
agreement with experiment requires the leading dependence on SU(3) symmetry
breaking to be nearly cancelled, so that the heavy quark mass dependence is
unknown and the expected dependence on the light quark mass is not realized.Comment: 11 pages (LaTeX, 2 PS figures available upon request), MIT-CTP#216
Reducing Toxic Phthalate Exposures in Premature Infants
Phthalates are a ubiquitous group of industrial compounds used as industrial solvents and as additives to plastics to make products softer avnd more flexible. Phthalates are found in a variety of products including medical devices, personal care products, flooring, and food packaging. Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit are exposed to phthalates both in the building materials, but more importantly in the medical supplies and devices. Toxicity from phthalates has been of concern to researchers for many decades. Toxicity concerns to neonates includes male reproductive toxicity, hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity (including hypertension), neurotoxicity, and neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Limited recommendations have been given for reducing phthalate exposures to premature infants. These include avoiding infusing lipids or blood products through intravenous tubing containing phthalates. Storage of blood in containers made with phthalates has been a strong recommendation and has largely been accomplished. A comprehensive plan for phthalate reduction has heretofore been missing. This chapter has the goal of identifying the problem of phthalate exposure in premature infants, with some practical solutions that can be done today, as well as suggestions for manufacturers to complete the work
Benefit Transfer And Ecosystem Services: Linking Water Quality And Recreation In North Carolina
Nitrogen concentrations are a prominent indicator of water pollution, frequently leading to algal blooms which in turn cause fish kills and unappealing odors and appearance. As such, water quality may influence the water recreation decisions of individual recreators, who tend to prefer higher water quality and are willing to pay for it. This paper employs the benefit transfer method to estimate the economic benefits of freshwater-based recreation in response to changes in ambient water quality
Chiral and Heavy Quark Symmetry Violation in B Decays
The most general Lagrangian consistent with chiral, heavy quark, and strong
interaction symmetries to order and to linear order in the SU(3) vector
and axial currents is presented. Two new dimensionful and five dimensionless
couplings arise at this order. The heavy to light flavor changing current is
derived to the same order, giving rise to two additional dimensionful constants
and six dimensionless ones. The dimensionless parameters are shown to be
irrelevant at \ord. The leading nonanalytic heavy quark and chiral symmetry
violating corrections to heavy meson decay constants are computed, and
implications to B decays are discussed; measurements of the experimentally
accessible form factors for and , along with
knowledge of the coupling, determine the eight decay constants
, , , , , , , and
, as well as one relation among the form factors,
to \ord~. The ratio is
expressed in terms of two dimensionful couplings.Comment: 22 pages, harvmac, 5 eps figs, resubmitted for automated postscrip
