The Relationship between Institutional Common Ownership, Marketing, and Firm Performance Abstract The growth in institutional holdings of public firms has led to increased interest in the concept of common ownership, in which the same investor owns stakes in multiple firms within the same industry. Economic theory suggests that common ownership could affect firm performance, but little empirical research has examined the nature of this effect or how a firm’s extant marketing potentially relates to this effect. -

HDF-EOS Interface Based on HDF5, Volume 2: Function Reference Guide Was Prepared Under the EOSDIS Evolution and Development-2 Contract (NNG15HZ39C)
This page intentionally left blank. Preface This document is a Users Guide for HDF-EOS (Hierarchical Data Format - Earth Observing System) library tools. The version described in this document is HDF-EOS Version 5.1.16. The software is based on HDF5, a new version of HDF provided by by The HDF Group. HDF5 is a complete rewrite of the earlier HDF4 version, containing a different data model and user interface. HDF-EOS V5.1.16 incorporates HDF5, and keeps the familier HDF4-based interface. There are a few exceptions and these exceptions are described in this document. Note that the major functional difference is that Version 5.1.16 of the HDF-EOS library is a thread-safe. HDF is the scientific data format standard selected by NASA as the baseline standard for EOS. This Users Guide accompanies Version 5.1.16 software, which is available to the user community on the EDHS1 server. This library is aimed at EOS data producers and consumers, who will develop their data into increasingly higher order products. These products range from calibrated Level 1 to Level 4 model data. The primary use of the HDF-EOS library will be to create structures for associating geolocation data with their associated science data. This association is specified by producers through use of the supplied library. Most EOS data products which have been identified, fall into categories of Point, Grid, Swath or Zonal Average structures, the latter two of which are implemented in the current version of the library. Services based on geolocation information will be built on HDF-EOS structures. -

BENCHMARK PROBLEM In this section we describe briefly the source of the benchmark problem, the major logical structure of the Fortran program, and the parameters of three different specific instances of the benchmark problem that vary widely in the amount of time and memory required for execution. Research Background As stated in the introduction, our purpose in benchmarking computers is solely in the interest of further- ing our investigations into fundamental problems of fire science. Over a decade ago, stimulated by federal recognition of very large losses of fife and property by fires each year throughout the nation, NBS became actively involved in a national effort to reduce such losses. The work at NBS ranges from very practical to quite theoretical; our approach, which proceeds directly from basic principles, is at the theoretical end of this spectrum. Early work was concentrated on developing a mathematical model of convection arising from a prescribed source of heat in an enclosure, e.g. -
