MAST-RT0 solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in 3D complex domains

2020

A new numerical methodology to solve the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids within complex boundaries and unstructured body-fitted tetrahedral mesh is presented and validated with three literature and one real-case tests. We apply a fractional time step procedure where a predictor and a corrector problem are sequentially solved. The predictor step is solved applying the MAST (Marching in Space and Time) procedure, which explicitly handles the non-linear terms in the momentum equations, allowing numerical stability for Courant number greater than one. Correction steps are solved by a Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements discretization that assumes positive distances among tetrahedr…

On the role of internationalization of firm-level corporate governance: The case of audit committees

2022

Research Question/IssueMotivated by the agency theory and the findings of linguistic studies, we analyze the association between the internationalization of a firm's audit committee and its corporate governance.Research Findings/InsightsBased on data from 2159 publicly traded European firms from 15 countries for the period 2000–2018, we find that firms with foreign directors on their audit committees are associated with lower financial reporting quality. The association is mitigated by stronger country-level investor protection and a higher similarity among intra-committee languages. We further find that foreign directors on the audit committee are related to stock prices being less informa…

Corporate Networks and business influence in Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

2021

Objective/Context: This paper explores the relationship between corporate networks and business influence to figure out the conditions of state capture. Methodology: We analyze corporate networks through interlocking directorates in three Central American countries - Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador - using network analysis, and we pinpoint the relationship between the structure of the corporate network and two corporate political actions: contributions to presidential campaigns and revolving doors. Conclusions: Results show corporate networks were fragmented in the three Central American countries, except for a well-connected business cluster in Panama. The organization of business elit…

La fundación y el fuero universitario de Lérida

1998

In 1297 Pope Boniface VIII authorized the King of Aragón James II to create a university which would be set up in Lérida. Its model would not be Toulouse —as the Pope wanted— but Bologna, regarded by the founders as the «mother of the laws». Its first documentation, in 1300, allows us a good knowledge of the project, in which the King, the municipality, professors and students collaborated as well. The jurisdiction of the university was assigned to the Rector, in accordance with the pattern of Bologna. His court and competence, granted by the King, are restricted by the latter as well as by the municipal authorities; nevertheless, this competence is wide, as is usual in a medieval universit…

El tren del marqués. Análisis del filme "El marqués de Salamanca" (1948), de Edgar Neville

2002

El presente artículo es un acercamiento a una de las obras menos recordadas de Edgar Neville, El marqués de Salamanca (1948), dirigida por el cineasta madrileño con motivo del centenario de la primera línea férrea peninsular. En él se incide en la peculiaridad de Neville en el panorama cinematográfico español de posguerra, así como en algunos aspectos de la película que vertebran buena parte de su producción (humor, protagonismo musical, casticismo, etc.). Nuestro análisis hace hincapié en el papel del tren en el filme, así como en determinados juegos con el espectador que subvierten la tradicional transparencia (aparentemente) del modelo clásico, sin abandonarlo.

Neural Networks to Determine the Relationships Between Business Innovation and Gender Aspects

2021

Gender aspects of management, innovation and entrepreneurship are gaining more and more importance as cross-cutting issues for researchers, practitioners and decision makers. Extant literature pays a growing attention to the hypothesis that there exists a correlation between the gender diversity of corporate boards of directors and the business attitude to innovation. In this paper we introduce a working framework to test the aforementioned hypothesis and to examine the correlation between board diversity and innovation perception of a business. This framework is based on correlation computation and feed-forward neural networks, and it is used to evaluate whether the gender component may be…
