Models For Predicting Corporate Financial Distress
2,464 words... ny, logit analysis has been compared to a more advanced analytical tool, neural networks. Research has found that the approaches perform similarly and should be used in combination (Altman, Marco, and Varetto 1994). Based on multiple discriminate analysis (MDA), the model predicts a company's financial health based on a discriminant function of the form: Z = 0. 012 X 1 + 0. 014 X 2 + 0. 033 X 3 + 0. 006 X 4 + 0. 999 X 5 X 3 = earnings before interest and taxes / total assets X 4 = market val...

Neural Tube Defects Spina Bifida
1,692 wordsHow Folate Can Help Prevent Birth Defects If you plan to have children some day, here's important information for the future mother-to-be: Think folate now. Folate is a B vitamin found in a variety of foods and added to many vitamin and mineral supplements as folic acid, a synthetic form of folate. Folate is needed both before and in the first weeks of pregnancy and can help reduce the risk of certain serious and common birth defects called neural tube defects, which affect the brain and spinal ...

Down Syndrome And Spina Bifida Cause Effects Treatment
635 wordsMany individuals are born with defects due to genetic factors. Some such defects occur because the child inherits a defective gene, or genes from the parents. Others are caused through mutations- spontaneous changes that occur to a gene or chromosome. Environmental factors affecting the foetus during the uterine development may also cause defects. If, during pregnancy, a woman smokes, consumes alcohol or other drugs, or suffers dietary deficiencies, the developing foetus may be adversely affecte...

Dr Simon began to interpret the results of the tests. She said he had a sensori-neural deafness. This is the result of problems with the cochlea (the sensory part) or the auditory nerve (the neural part). About 90 % of all hearing loss is sensori-neural. In most cases of sensori-neural deafness the hairs in the cochlea a...

One of the major roles of an operating system is to control processes. For instance, each process or job requires CPU resources, which the operation system must allocate. The function of CPU is to execute program instruction and coordinate the activity of the other entire unit. In other words the CPU is the brain of computer but it can do nothing without proper operation s...

Elimin-activists suggest that for man to move forward in his understanding of the mind he must drop part or all of this common sense conception in favor of one which does not use notions such as belief, experience, sensations and the like. The rationale for this suggestion is that these notions are fraught with conceptua...

Identity Theory Vice Versa
852 wordsThe identity theory, also known as reductive materialism, is one of the views Churchland uses to describe mind-brain correlation. Churchland believes that the mental states of the body are one and in the same (double aspects) with brain states. They are the same because the biochemical actions produced in brain states (release of serotonin and acetylcholine) have direct interaction with the mental states (mood disorders such as depression). With the help of psychological and physiological eviden...
