financial performance of bank branches networks. We develop an alternative approach to the traditional productivity measures to take into account size, environmental and structural effects in the benchmark process. We use a nonparametric production frontier to estimate the efficiency indices within a unified framework. We apply our analysis to a sample of 1423 bank branches belonging to 15 regional banks. Our results show that the operational and financial performances are weakly related to each

which assumes that consumers behave rationally by carefully considering the alternatives and choose products that provide the greatest utility. In marketing context, rationality means that the customers select goals based on objective criteria such as size, weight and price. Emotional motives use selection of goals according to personal or subjective criteria such as pride and status. The assumption is that the customer will always aim to choose the product that satisfies their needs to the best of their

classes of strategies and instruments, which represent an alternative to the market, and return on which is not correlated with the market return. • Alternative asset classes. Table 2 shows the main classes of alternatives and their market size in 2007. Table 2. The alternative asset class.[3] [pic] What unites these disparate asset classes into a whole as “alternatives”? Are they alternative

from the ITU is based on PCM technique at a sampling rate of 8kHz. The frequency bandwith that is used is 300Hz- 3.4 kHz. This is generally used in speech coding to restrict captured bandwith to a factor where voice signals are mainly present. Each sample is coded with 8 bits(in 8-6 Europe) or with 7 bits(in the US), which produces respectively a 64kbps or 56kbps bit stream. G.723.1 The G723.1 recommendation targets very low bit rates. G723.1 is a dual rate coder (5.3kbps or 6.4kbps) based

he studies science, so there is some kind of a conflict. Well, the second origin of a type of conflict is associated with the facts, or, more carefully, the partial facts that he learns in the science. For example, he learns about the size of the universe. The size of the universe is very impressive, with us on a tiny particle that whirls around the sun. That's one sun among a hundred thousand million suns in this galaxy, itself among a billion galaxies. And again, he learns about the close biological
