I. Theoretical Findings
, 2004
"... The term “resources ” is widely used within many contexts to refer to natural resources, financial resources, human resources, etc. In TRIZ, the creative utilization of the resources available in a system to increase the system’s ideality is a cornerstone of inventive problem solving. The concept wa ..."

comprehensive set of possible evolutionary scenarios are created for a given system. This paper consists of two parts: 1. Theoretical findings related to the concept of resources
Attitude-Behavior Relations: A Theoretical Analysis and
- Review of Empirical Research, Psychological Bulletin
, 1977
"... Research on the relation between attitude and behavior is examined in light of the correspondence between attitudinal and behavioral entities. Such entities are defined by their target, action, context, and time elements. A review of available empirical research supports the contention that strong a ..."

psychological literature. Reports of rather low or nonsignificant relations between attitudinal predictors and behavioral criteria have been accumulating for more than 40 years (cf. Wicker, 1969). These negative findings led many investiga-tors to reconsider the nature of the attitude-
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 ..."

, inadequate atten-tion given to questions of definition and to the development of theoretical models that seek to explain, not simply to describe, the processes that bring individuals to leave institutions of higher education. With regard to the former, inadequate attention given to definition has often led
Text Categorization with Support Vector Machines: Learning with Many Relevant Features
, 1998
"... This paper explores the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for learning text classifiers from examples. It analyzes the particular properties of learning with text data and identifies, why SVMs are appropriate for this task. Empirical results support the theoretical findings. SVMs achieve substan ..."

Transductive Inference for Text Classification using Support Vector Machines
, 1999
"... This paper introduces Transductive Support Vector Machines (TSVMs) for text classification. While regular Support Vector Machines (SVMs) try to induce a general decision function for a learning task, Transductive Support Vector Machines take into account a particular test set and try to minimiz ..."

to minimize misclassifications of just those particular examples. The paper presents an analysis of why TSVMs are well suited for text classification. These theoretical findings are supported by experiments on three test collections. The experiments show substantial improvements over inductive methods
On combining classifiers
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 1998
"... We develop a common theoretical framework for combining classifiers which use distinct pattern representations and show that many existing schemes can be considered as special cases of compound classification where all the pattern representations are used jointly to make a decision. An experimental ..."

What Do We Know about Capital Structure? Some Evidence from International Data
- Journal of Finance
, 1995
"... We investigate the determinants of capital structure choice by analyzing the financing decisions of public firms in the major industrialized countries. At an aggregate level, firm leverage is fairly similar across the G-7 countries. We find that factors identified by previous studies as correlated i ..."

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 ..."

constrained exhibit significantly greater sensitivities than firms that appear more financially constrained. We find this pattern for the entire sample period, subperiods, and individual years. These results (and simple theoretical arguments) suggest that higher sensitivities cannot be interpreted as evidence
Reputation and Imperfect Information
- Journal of Economic Theory
, 1982
"... A common observation in the informal literature of economics (and elsewhere) is that in multistage “games, ” players may seek early in the game to acquire a reputation for being “tough ” or “benevolent ” or something else. But this phenomenon is not observed in some formal game-theoretic analyses of ..."

The empirical case for two systems of reasoning

This article distills properties shared by many of these distinctions and characterizes the resulting systems in light of recent findings and theoretical developments. One system is associative because its computations ref ..."
