Abstract This paper investigates if bankruptcy of Japanese listed companies can be predicted using data from 1992 to 2005. We find that the traditional measures, such as Altman’s (J Finance 23:589–609, 1968) Z-score, Ohlson’s (J Accounting Res 18:109–131, 1980) O-score and the option pricing theory-based distance-todefault, previously developed for the U.S. market, are also individually useful for the Japanese market. Moreover, the predictive power is substantially enhanced when these measures are combined

The Least Common Multiple of two integers, is the least positive integer that is divisible by both integers. This is connected by a simple formula with the greatest common divisor of the two integers, a familiar topic from modern algebra and number theory. The purpose of this paper is to present a proof for the connection between least common multiple and greatest common divisor. Along the way we will see several other properties of the least common multiple, as well as a number of examples. Throughout

revised form 21 July 2015 Accepted 27 July 2015 Available online 31 July 2015 Here we report optical properties for cubic phase Strontium Zirconate (SrZrO3) at different pressure values (0, 40, 100, 250 and 350) GPa under density functional theory (DFT) using Perdew-Becke-Johnson (PBE-GGA) as exchange-correlation functional. In this article we first time report all the optical properties for SrZrO3. The real and imaginary dielectric functions has investigated along with reflectivity, energy

what food and clothing to buy, how much education to acquire, and so on. Consumer choice provides an excellent example of constrained optimization, one of the key tools discussed in Chapter 1. People have unlimited desires, but limited resources. The theory of consumer choice focuses on how consumers with limited resources choose goods and services. besa44438_ch03.qxd 10/12/04

CHAOS THEORY It is a field of study in mathematics, with applications in several disciplines including, and philosophy. Chaos theory studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions—a response popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as weather and climate. This behavior can be studied through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through analytical techniques such as recurrence
