Vertical integration and profitability of the agrifood industry in an economic crisis context
2015
<p>In a setting of economic and financial crisis, most companies experienced a reduction in their profitability. Thus, our study allows us to identify vertical integration strategies developed by companies to overcome the crisis. This paper is aimed at unveiling the determining factors of the profitability of Spanish agrifood firms, depending on whether they are backwards vertically integrated or not. In order to attain our objective, we implemented a first difference regression model. The main contributions of the article lie in the incorporation of a variable that distinguishes integrated firms from the rest and the separate analysis of the two groups of firms. The results suggest t…
Brokers in the Credit Market: An Examination of the Vertical Scope
2014
This paper analyzes the vertical disintegration of the bank loan origination value chain. The main aim is to identify the relevant drivers which cause the emergence of brokers in the credit market which lead to vertical disintegration of the credit origination value chain. Transaction cost economics is the typical perspective of analysis of the vertical scope of banking value chains. This paper argues that in order to capture the drivers underlying the dynamic evolution of the vertical scope of bank loan origination business models, the above perspectives must be combined and further integrated with a capabilities and resource based view and with a modularity perspective.
Collecte des données Véhicule/Environnement et remontée avec réseau Cellulaire et réseau Véhiculaire

Vertical handover is one of the key technologies that will facilitate the connected and autonomous vehicles deployment. Today, the emergence of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs): Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) has enabled new applications such as Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), real-time applications (for example, autonomous driving), road traffic management applications and comfort applications. However, these networks are characterized by a high level of mobility and dynamic change in the topology, which generates scattered networks and requires handover mechanisms for maintaining ongoing session…
From Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U) to Breastfeeding: Is the Jump Short?
2022
Background: Vertical transmission of HIV infection may occur during pregnancy, at childbirth or through breastfeeding. Recommendations on the safety of breastfeeding of HIV-infected women on effective antiretroviral treatment are not univocal among international guidelines (WHO 2010, EACS 2017, DHHS 2017), leaving space for variability at the patient’s level. Methods: We collected clinical, laboratory and outcome data from 13 HIV-infected pregnant women who, between March 2017 and June 2021, elected to breastfeed their children against specific medical advice. All mothers were on antiretroviral therapy with darunavir or raltegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil and remained HIV-RN…
Demo 167. Destilación por enfriamiento con un frasco de Franklin vertical
2021
Se presenta una demostración de aula que muestra que las fases líquida y vapor de una disolución que coexisten en equilibrio tienen distinta composición. Se muestra también que el disolvente y el soluto de una disolución en un frasco de Franklin vertical se pueden separar mediante destilación, concretamente condensando la fase vapor. A classroom demonstration is presented showing that the liquid and vapor phases of a solution that coexist in equilibrium have different composition. It is also shown that the solvent and solute of the solution in a vertical Franklin flask can be separated by distillation, specifically by condensing the vapor phase.
Los trabajadores de Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, Sagunto, 1961-1974 estudio de la gestión del jurado de empresa
2012
Estudio de historia social y de las relaciones laborales en la fábrica siderúrgica de Altos Hornos de Vizcaya en Sagunto durante el periodo del tardo-franquismo, concretamente entre la publicación de su primer convenio colectivo en 1961 hasta el traspaso de la fábrica a la titularidad de Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo en 1974. Estudio de las condiciones económicas y socio-laborales de estos trabajadores siderúrgicos, de cómo les afectan los cambios introducidos por el Estado y por la misma empresa; y por otro lado, cómo responden los trabajadores a estos cambios por medio de un activismo sindical que utilizó al máximo las instituciones corporativas laborales del franquismo (OSE, Jurado de Em…
Flexural Response of Reinforced Concrete Beam on Elastic Foundation under Vertical Load and Bending Moment: Review of Existing Methods and Proposed N…
2021
AbstractThis work examined the behavior of a RC beam on a soil foundation subject to concentrated vertical loads and bending moment in both the elastic and the plastic phases. Some of the simplifie...
Evaluation of the effects of different groove length and thickness of the retainers on the retention of maxillary anterior base metal resin bonded re…
2012
Objectives: The resin-bonded fixed partial dentures have gained immense popularity in recent years as they are more conservative, esthetic, economic and easily fabricated. However debonding is considered the most common cause of failure of resin bonded prosthesis. The objective of the study were to compare the effects of different groove lengths and thickness of retainers on retention of maxillary anterior base metal resin bonded retainers. Study Design: Twenty five metal dies of maxillary central incisor duplicated from pure typhodont teeth (maxillary left central incisors) prepared to receive retainer for resin bonded fixed partial denture having different test designs were made. Five tes…
Efficient Dense Disparity Map Reconstruction using Sparse Measurements
2018
International audience; In this paper, we propose a new stereo matching algorithm able to reconstruct efficiently a dense disparity maps from few sparse disparity measurements. The algorithm is initialized by sampling the reference image using the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) superpixel method. Then, a sparse disparity map is generated only for the obtained boundary pixels. The reconstruction of the entire disparity map is obtained through the scanline propagation method. Outliers were effectively removed using an adaptive vertical median filter. Experimental results were conducted on the standard and the new Middlebury datasets show that the proposed method produces high-quali…
Partizione verticale mobile sostenibile
2016
La partizione utilizza un pannello costituito da un telaio in legno che si sviluppa attorno a un riquadro centrale, le cui dimensioni si riferiscono alla misura standard del tatami giapponese (cm 90 X 180). Tale riquadro è chiuso da una stuoia di canne schiacciate, che su un lato rimane a vista e sull’altro è rivestita da un intonaco in terra cruda addizionata di piccoli frammenti di paglia. Il pannello si presta ad essere utilizzato in modo versatile per realizzare partizioni verticali mobili all’interno di abitazioni e si configura come prodotto coerente con la scelta di sostenibilità edilizia. 1) Mobile vertical partition, including a system of assembly that uses materials that have a lo…
