...financial reporting to obtain some private gain. Earnings management involves the manipulation of company earnings towards a pre-determined target. This target can be motivated by a preference for more stable earnings, in which case management is said to be carrying out income smoothing. Management may also overstate the income for personal interests. Other possible motivations for earnings management include the need to maintain the levels of certain accounting ratios due to debt covenants, boost earnings to beat analyst targets, or intentionally understate the earnings to get rid of the political pressure. Analysis of earnings management often focuses on management’s use of discretionary accruals. Such research requires a model that estimates the discretionary components of reported income. In this paper, we studied three companies from three different components of the US oil & gas industry: (1) Stone Energy Corp from crude oil and natural gas production companies...

...state of Georgia. January 1, 2007, Joshua’s Law became effective (DDS, 2007). This law was named after Joshua Robert Brown. Joshua died in 2003 after his truck hydroplaned and struck a tree (Brown, 2004). Joshua’s parents blamed the accident on the lack of driver’s training and experience (Fish, 2003). Lobbying for this bill started in 2004 and was passed in the Georgia General Assembly in 2005 (Brown, 2005). Joshua’s Law requires class D drivers to complete a mandatory driver’s education program approved by the Department of Driver Services and complete 40 hours of supervised driving experience, including at least six hours at night. The other state mandated class is the DUI/Risk Reduction Program. This is an intervention program for people convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), possession of illegal drugs, underage possession of alcohol while operating a motor vehicle, or boating under the influence (BUI) (DDS, 2015). The third class offered at 3D Driving School is the defensive driving program. It is geared toward drivers who have accumulated points against their license and are at risk of suspension. This class will reduce the number of points against your license. Many drivers attend this class to avoid their license being suspended and lower insurance rates. These programs are all regulated by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). Each school has to be certified by the Georgia DDS.

...PREFACE India, with its booming economy, plus 8 digit growth, is witnessing a surge in the income levels. This has led to increased demand for entertainment and luxury and people now want to enhance their television viewing experience. Their increased desire for superior video and audio quality has also been reflected in our research findings. All this will sound music to the ears of all the DTH service providers planning to increase their market share many fold. The potential of DTH in Indian market is seemingly substantial. This has motivated us to undertake a market research project to analyze and assess the future prospects of its acceptability and growth in India. To make our project comprehensive and to make our results conclusive, we have done a thorough analysis in terms of in-depth primary and secondary research. Scanning through articles pertaining to DTH in newspapers, magazines and internet; interviewing dealers and marketers, sales executives; getting questionnaires filled by 250 respondents; we are confident that our findings present the facts as they are. The whole project has been so designed that it not only meets the requirements of our course curriculum, it also will be useful to existing and coming DTH service providers. Research Methodology Our report is an integral part of my Market Research paper, 3rd Semester of my Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) course at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, D.U. this project has been prepared under...

...Current Chemical Biology, 2009, 3, 203-230 203 Functional Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan Inmaculada Aranaz, Marian Mengíbar, Ruth Harris, Inés Paños, Beatriz Miralles, Niuris Acosta, Gemma Galed and Ángeles Heras* Department of Physical Chemistry II, Faculty of Pharmacy, Institute of Biofunctional Studies, Complutense University, Paseo Juan XXIII, nº 1. Madrid 28040, Spain Abstract: Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of randomly distributed -(1-4)linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitin is insoluble in aqueous media while chitosan is soluble in acidic conditions due to the free protonable amino groups present in the D-glucosamine units. Due to their natural origin, both chitin and chitosan can not be defined as a unique chemical structure but as a family of polymers which present a high variability in their chemical and physical properties. This variability is related not only to the origin of the samples but also to their method of preparation. Chitin and chitosan are used in fields as different as food, biomedicine and agriculture, among others. The success of chitin and chitosan in each of these specific applications is directly related to deep research into their physicochemical properties. In recent years, several reviews covering different aspects of the applications of chitin and chitosan have been published. However, these reviews have not taken into account...
