Dropout from higher education: A theoretical synthesis of recent research
- Review of Educational Research
, 1975
"... Despite the very extensive literature on dropout from higher education, much remains unknown about the nature of the dropout process. In large measure, the failure of past research to delineate more clearly the multiple characteristics of dropout can be traced to two major shortcomings; namely, inad ..."

An inventory for measuring depression
- Archives of General Psychiatry
, 1961
"... The difficulties inherent in obtaining con-sistent and adequate diagnoses for the pur-poses of research and therapy have been pointed out by a number of authors. Pasamanick12 in a recent article viewed the low interclinician agreement on diagnosis as an indictment of the present state of psychiatry ..."

between power and centrality and Cook et al.'s recent exceptional results. I propose a family of centrality measures c(a, 3) generated by two parameters, a and P. The parameter P reflects the degree to which an individual's status is a function of the statuses of those to whom he or she
Signal recovery from random measurements via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
- IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY
, 2007
"... This technical report demonstrates theoretically and empirically that a greedy algorithm called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) can reliably recover a signal with m nonzero entries in dimension d given O(m ln d) random linear measurements of that signal. This is a massive improvement over previous ..."

previous results for OMP, which require O(m 2) measurements. The new results for OMP are comparable with recent results for another algorithm called Basis Pursuit (BP). The OMP algorithm is faster and easier to implement, which makes it an attractive alternative to BP for signal recovery problems.
Do investment-cash flow sensitivities provide useful measures of financing constraints?
- QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 1997
"... No. This paper investigates the relationship between financing constraints and investment-cash flow sensitivities by analyzing the firms identified by Fazzari, Hubbard, and Petersen as having unusually high investment-cash flow sensitivities. We find that firms that appear less financially constra ..."

A Measurement Study of Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems
, 2002
"... The popularity of peer-to-peer multimedia file sharing applications such as Gnutella and Napster has created a flurry of recent research activity into peer-to-peer architectures. We believe that the proper evaluation of a peer-to-peer system must take into account the characteristics of the peers th ..."

No Contagion, Only Interdependence: Measuring Stock Market Co-Movements
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... Heteroscedasticity biases tests for contagion based on correlation coefficients. When contagion is defined as a significant increase in market co-movement after a shock to one country, previous work suggests contagion occurred during recent crises. This paper shows that correlation coefficients are ..."

Search and replication in unstructured peer-to-peer networks
, 2002
"... Abstract Decentralized and unstructured peer-to-peer networks such as Gnutella are attractive for certain applicationsbecause they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network topologies and data placement. However, the flooding-based query algorithm used in Gnutella does n ..."

-to-Peer (P2P) network usage has been astounding. Within a few months of Napster's [12] introduction in 1999 the system had spread widely, and recent measurement data suggeststhat P2P applications are having a very significant and rapidly growing impact on Internet traffic [11, 15]. Therefore
Institutions Rule: The Primacy of Institutions over Geography and Integration in Economic Development
- FREE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN

"... We estimate the respective contributions of institutions, geography, and trade in determining income levels around the world, using recently developed instrumental variables for institutions and trade. Our results indicate that the quality of institutions “trumps” everything else. Once institutions ..."
