The study of these relationships is controlled by firm size based on a sample of 114 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) for the period from 2008 to 2010. The results demonstrate that there was an insignificant positive relationship among independent boards of directors, managerial ownership, and earnings quality. Subsequent analysis shows an insignificant negative relationship between board size and earnings quality. It also provides evidence of the negative relationship between firm size as a control variable and earnings quality. This can be attributed to the fact that large firms are claimed to be politically sensitive and thus have the incentive to lessen variances in changes in their reported earnings.展开更多

The method is based on the catalytic effect of Ni (Ⅱ) on the oxidation of weak acid brilliant blue dye (RAWL) by KIO4 in acid medium. The concentration of nickel (Ⅱ) can be determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease of absorbance of RAWL at λ = 626 nm using the fix-time method. The influencing factors are investigated by the orthogonal experimental design. The obtained optimum analytical conditions are: pH = 2.00, CRAWL = 5.00×10^-5 mol·L^-1, c KlO4 = 2.00× 10^-5 mol·L^-1, the reaction time t= 10min and the temperature T = 25 ℃. Under the optimum conditions, the developed method allows the measurement of Ni (Ⅱ) in a range of 0 - 40.0ngmL1. The standard deviation of eleven independent measurements of blank reaction is S = 3.08× 10^-3 and the limit of detection is 2.20ng·mL^-1. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) in six replicate determinations of 5 ngmL-1 and 8 ngmL1 Ni (Ⅱ) are 2.87% and 1.11%, respectively. Moreover, the experiments show few cations and anions can interfere with the measurement of Ni (Ⅱ). The recovery efficiencies of this method are in a range of 97.0%-102.5% in freshwater samples. But there is a decreasing effect, which is about 0.2 times the added Ni (Ⅱ) in seawater medium. After reasonable calibration this processing method is used for the determination of Ni (Ⅱ) in seawater samples successfully. The results show this developed method has high accuracy and precision, high sensitivity, large range of linearity and high speed. The method can, therefore, be employed at room temperature.展开更多

The kinetic adsorption of ammonium nitrogen (NH+-N) by CW substrate materials such as blast furnace slag (BFS), zeolite, ceramsite, vermiculite, gravel, paddy soil, red soil, and turf, was investigated using batch experiments and kinetic adsorption isotherms. Both Freundlich and Lang- muir isotherms could adequately predict the NH+-N adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacities of NH+-N, estimated from the Langmuir isotherm, ranked as: zeolite (33 333.33 mg kg^-1) 〉 turf (29274.01 mg kg^-1) 〉 BFS (5000 mg kg^-1) 〉 vermiculite (3333.33 mg kg^-1) 〉 gravel (769.23 mg kg^-1) 〉 paddy soil (588.24 mg kg^-1) 〉 red soil (555.56 mg kg^-1) 〉 ceramsite (107.53 mg kg^-1). Some properties of the substrate materials, including bulk density, specific gravity, hydraulic conductivity, uniformity coefficient (K60), curvature coefficient (Co), organic matter, pH, exchangeable (or active) Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn, total Cu, and Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb and Ca, had negative correlations with NH+-N adsorption. Other properties of the substrate materials like particle diameter values of D10, 030 and 060 (the diameters of particle sizes of a substrate material at which 10%, 30% and 60%, respectively, of the particles pass through the sieve based on the accumulative frequency), cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable (or active) Ca and Mg, and total K and Mg had positive correlations with NH+-N adsorption. In addition, active K and Na as well as the total Na had significant positive correlations with NH+-N adsorption. This information would be useful for selection of suitable substrate materials for CWs.展开更多

However, they suffer from a serious in- and quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance problem. The I/Q imbalance can severely limit the achievable operating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver and, consequently, the supported constellation sizes and data rates. In this paper, we first investigate the effects of I/Q imbalance on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receivers, and then propose a new I/Q imbalance compensation scheme. In the proposed method, a new statistic, which is robust against channel distortion, is used to estimate the I/Q imbalance parameters, and then the I/Q imbalance is corrected in the frequency domain. Simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method for I/Q imbalance compensation. The results show that the proposed I/Q imbalance compensation method can achieve bit error rate (BER) performance close to that in the ideal case without I/Q imbalance in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) or multipath environments. Furthermore, because no pilot information is required, this method can be applied in various standard communication systems.展开更多
