They are essential indicators of future firm performance and a starting point for firm valuation. Extremely inaccurate and overoptimistic forecasts during the most recent financial crisis have raised serious doubts regarding the reliability of such forecasts. This thesis therefore investigates new determinants of forecast errors and accuracy. In addition, new determinants of forecast revisions are examined. More specifically, the thesis answers the following questions: 1) How do analyst incentives lead to forecast errors? 2) How do changes in analyst incentives lead to forecast revisions?, and 3) What factors drive differences in forecast accuracy?}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GerhardsSanderBelloum2012, author = {Gerhards, Michael and Sander, Volker and Belloum, Adam}, title = {About the flexible Migration of Workflow Tasks to Clouds : Combining on- and off-premise Executions of Applications}, series = {CLOUD COMPUTING 2012 : The Third International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization ; July 22-27, 2012 - Nice, France}, booktitle = {CLOUD COMPUTING 2012 : The Third International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization ; July 22-27, 2012 - Nice, France}, editor = {Zimmermann, Wolf and Lee, Yong Woo and Demchenko, Yuri}, publisher = {IARIA Journals}, isbn = {978-1-61208-216-5}, pages = {82 -- 87}, year = {2012}, abstract = {An increasing number of applications target their executions on specific hardware like general purpose Graphics Processing Units. Some Cloud Computing providers offer this specific hardware so that organizations can rent such resources. However, outsourcing the whole application to the Cloud causes avoidable costs if only some parts of the application benefit from the specific expensive hardware. A partial execution of applications in the Cloud is a tradeoff between costs and efficiency. This paper addresses the demand for a consistent framework that allows for a mixture of on- and off-premise calculations by migrating only specific parts to a Cloud. It uses the concept of workflows to present how individual workflow tasks can be migrated to the Cloud whereas the remaining tasks are executed on-premise.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Goldbach2012, author = {Goldbach, Daniel}, title = {Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeitsanalyse zur Verifikation der Einhaltung von quantitativen Sicherheitsanforderungen.}, series = {Diagnose in mechatronischen Fahrzeugsystemen V : neue Verfahren f{\"u}r Test, Pr{\"u}fung und Diagnose von E/E-Systemen im Kfz ; [anl{\"a}sslich der 6.

This study therefore introduces a newly developed method for the analysis of linguistic phenomena observed in continuous language production during fMRI. Most neuroimaging studies investigating language have so far focussed on single word or — to a smaller extent — sentence processing, mostly due to methodological considerations. Natural language production, however, is far more than the mere combination of words to larger units. Therefore, the present study aimed at relating brain activation to linguistic phenomena like word-finding difficulties or syntactic completeness in a continuous language fMRI paradigm. A picture description task with special constraints was used to provoke hesitation phenomena and speech errors. The transcribed speech sample was segmented into events of one second and each event was assigned to one category of a complex schema especially developed for this purpose. The main results were: conceptual planning engages bilateral activation of the precuneus. Successful lexical retrieval is accompanied - particularly in comparison to unsolved word-finding difficulties - by the left middle and superior temporal gyrus. Syntactic completeness is reflected in activation of the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) (area 44). In sum, the method has proven to be useful for investigating the neural correlates of lexical and syntactic phenomena in an overt picture description task. This opens up new prospects for the analysis of spontaneous language production during fMRI.}, language = {en} } @article{GrinsvenBonStrauvenetal.2012, author = {Grinsven, Bart van and Bon, Natalie vanden and Strauven, Hannelore and Grieten, Lars and Murib, Mohammed and Jim{\´e}nez Monroy, Kathia L. and Janssens, Stoffel D. and Haenen, Ken and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Vermeeren, Veronique and Ameloot, Marcel and Michiels, Luc and Thoelen, Ronald and Ceuninck, Ward de and Wagner, Patrick}, title = {Heat-Transfer Resistance at Solid-Liquid Interfaces: A Tool for The Detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in DNA.}, series = {ACS Nano}, volume = {6}, journal = {ACS Nano}, number = {3}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {1936-086X}, doi = {10.1021/nn300147e}, pages = {2712 -- 2721}, year = {2012}, abstract = {In this article, we report on the heat-transfer resistance at interfaces as a novel, denaturation-based method to detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA. We observed that a molecular brush of double-stranded DNA grafted onto synthetic diamond surfaces does not notably affect the heat-transfer resistance at the solid-to-liquid interface. In contrast to this, molecular brushes of single-stranded DNA cause, surprisingly, a substantially higher heat-transfer resistance and behave like a thermally insulating layer. This effect can be utilized to identify ds-DNA melting temperatures via the switching from low- to high heat-transfer resistance. The melting temperatures identified with this method for different DNA duplexes (29 base pairs without and with built-in mutations) correlate nicely with data calculated by modeling. The method is fast, label-free (without the need for fluorescent or radioactive markers), allows for repetitive measurements, and can also be extended toward array formats. Reference measurements by confocal fluorescence microscopy and impedance spectroscopy confirm that the switching of heat-transfer resistance upon denaturation is indeed related to the thermal on-chip denaturation of DNA.}, language = {en} } @book{Grotendorst2012, author = {Grotendorst, Johannes}, title = {Hierarchical methods for dynamics in complex molecular systems : IAS Winter School, 5 - 9 March 2012, Forschungszentrum J{\"u}lich GmbH ; lecture notes / ed. by Johannes Grotendorst, Godehard Sutmann, Gerhard Gompper, Dominik Marx}, publisher = {Forschungszentrum J{\"u}lich}, address = {J{\"u}lich}, isbn = {978-3-89336-768-9}, pages = {VI, 540 S. zahlr.
