Where did I go wrong? Explaining errors in business process models
"... Abstract. Business process modeling is still a challenging task— especially since more and more aspects are added to the models, such as data lifecycles, security constraints, or compliance rules. At the same time, formal methods allow for the detection of errors in the early model-ing phase. Detect ..."

, Stanton, and Whitelaw (1997), who find that a 3-factor model explains over 90 percent of Ginnie Mae yields, but that the remaining variation apparently cannot be explained by the changes in the yield curve. 2 In contrast, our multiple-factor model explains only about one-quarter of the variation in credit

"... A brief history is presented, outlining the development of rate theory during the past century. Starting from Arrhenius ͓Z. Phys. Chem. 4, 226 ͑1889͔͒, we follow especially the formulation of transition state theory by Wigner ͓Z. Phys. Chem. Abt. B 19, 203 ͑1932͔͒ and Eyring ͓J. Chem. Phys. 3, 107 ..."

Dumb money: Mutual fund flows and the cross section of stock returns,

that is due to reallocation decisions reflected in fund flows. For example, in December 1999, 17% of the shares outstanding of Cisco were owned by the mutual fund sector (using our sample of funds), of which 2.5% was attributable to disproportionately high inflows over the previous 3 years. That is, under
