  • The Relationship Between Institutional Common Ownership, Marketing, and Firm Performance
    What if Your Owners Also Own Other Firms in Your Industry?

Further, they thank Yang Wang for her help with database programming. What if Your Owners Also Own Other Firms in Your Industry? 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.

Part of the shift is in the amount of discussion — there is certainly an increase in media This shift is a strong signal for renewed commitment to the FIRST T coverage. There has also been a shift in the intensity of the vision. In the 17 years since FIRST was founded, nothing has been more conversation — there is clearly a heightened sense of urgency in the essential to our success than personal connection. The clearest example calls for solutions. Both these are positive developments. More is the personal commitment of you, our teams, mentors, teachers, parents, awareness and urgency around the “science problem” are central to sponsors, and volunteers. For you, this has been personal all along. As the FIRST vision, after all. However, we believe there is another shift more people make a personal connection, we will gain more energy, happening and it has enormous potential for FIRST. create more impact, and deliver more success in changing the way our culture views science and technology. If you listen closely, you can hear a shift in the nature of the conversation. People are not just talking about a science problem and how it affects This year’s Annual Report echoes the idea of personal connections and P02: FIRST Robotics Competition someone else; they are talking about a science problem that affects personal commitment.

    T he O bservers H andbook FOR 1912 PUBLISHED BY THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA E d i t e d b y C. A, CHANT FOURTH YEAR OF PUBLICATION TORONTO 198 C o l l e g e St r e e t Pr in t e d fo r t h e So c ie t y 1912 T he Observers Handbook for 1912 PUBLISHED BY THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA TORONTO 198 C o l l e g e St r e e t Pr in t e d fo r t h e S o c ie t y 1912 PREFACE Some changes have been made in the Handbook this year which, it is believed, will commend themselves to observers. In previous issues the times of sunrise and sunset have been given for a small number of selected places in the standard time of each place. On account of the arbitrary correction which must be made to the mean time of any place in order to get its standard time, the tables given for a particualar place are of little use any­ where else, In order to remedy this the times of sunrise and sunset have been calculated for places on five different latitudes covering the populous part of Canada, (pages 10 to 21), while the way to use these tables at a large number of towns and cities is explained on pages 8 and 9. The other chief change is in the addition of fuller star maps near the end. These are on a large enough scale to locate a star or planet or comet when its right ascension and declination are given.

  • Chapter 16 the Sun and Stars
    Chapter 16 The Sun and Stars Stargazing is an awe-inspiring way to enjoy the night sky, but humans can learn only so much about stars from our position on Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope is a school-bus-size telescope that orbits Earth every 97 minutes at an altitude of 353 miles and a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) transmits images and data from space to computers on Earth. In fact, HST sends enough data back to Earth each week to fill 3,600 feet of books on a shelf. Scientists store the data on special disks. In January 2006, HST captured images of the Orion Nebula, a huge area where stars are being formed. HST’s detailed images revealed over 3,000 stars that were never seen before. Information from the Hubble will help scientists understand more about how stars form. In this chapter, you will learn all about the star of our solar system, the sun, and about the characteristics of other stars. 1. Why do stars shine? 2. What kinds of stars are there? 3. How are stars formed, and do any other stars have planets? 16.1 The Sun and the Stars What are stars? Where did they come from? How long do they last? During most of the star - an enormous hot ball of gas day, we see only one star, the sun, which is 150 million kilometers away. On a clear held together by gravity which night, about 6,000 stars can be seen without a telescope.

On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. To your right is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan standing up on it’s handle. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The top two stars are called the Pointers. Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white-hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you to the left, to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the right are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris. Check with binoculars. © Rob Peeling, CaDAS, 2007 version 2.0 Wynyard Planetarium & Observatory PUBLIC OBSERVING – Winter Polaris, Kochab and Pherkad mark the constellation Ursa Minor, the Little Bear.

  • Constellation Studies - Equatorial Sky in Winter
    Phys1810: General Astronomy 1 W2014 Constellation Studies - Equatorial Sky in Winter Preparation before the observing session - Read "Notes on Observing" thoroughly. - Find all the targets listed below using Starry Night and your star charts. - Note: The observatory longitude is 97.1234° W, the latitude is 49.6452° N and elevation is 233 meters. - Observe any predicted events and record your observations during the observing session In the list of constellations below, the name of the constellation is underlined followed by the genitive case of the name in parenthesis followed by the three-letter abbreviation. Note that references to stars such as α UMa, spoken as alpha Ursae Majoris (note genitive case), literally means alpha of Ursa Major. The Greek letters are usually assigned in order of brightness in the constellation (α -- brightest). Note that the constellation, Ursa Major, is a major exception to this rule. As soon as you get to the observatory the following 3 constellations should be sketched on a full page diagram making sure that their relative positions to each other and to the horizon are drawn as accurately as possible - this means completing the sketch in about 15 minutes. You need to repeat the sketch one hour later. Be sure to indicate the time and the location of the horizon on your diagram. Ursa Major (Ursae Majoris) UMa: (The Great Bear, The Big Dipper, The Plow) Through all ages, Ursa Major has been known under various names. It is linked with the nymph Kallisto, the daughter of Lycaon, a king of Arcadia in Greek mythology. Moving along the asterism of the dipper from the lip identify the stars Dubhe (α UMa), Merak (β UMa), Phecda (γ UMa), Megrez (δ UMa), Alioth (ε UMa), Mizar (ζ UMa), and Alkaid (η UMa).
