Abstract In this paper, we revisit a frequently employed simplification within the WACC approach that company cost of capital $$k_{V}$$ k V is supposed to be invariant to the debt ratio and therefore equal to the unlevered cost $$k_{U}$$ k U.Even though we know from Miles and Ezzell (1980) that $$k_{V}$$ k V formally differs from $$k_{U}$$ k U , tr
The rapid rate of urbanization worldwide and its consequences for affected species and ecosystems urgently warrants research and action.Whether animals are effectively coping from urbanization is hotly debated, especially since interpretations are based on different measures of animal responses.Here, we take a physiology-centric view of animal copi
This research investigates the synergistic effects of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles and glass fibers on the mechanical and durability properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) using an experimental and analytical approach.The experimental analysis involved assessing fresh concrete properties and mechanical performance through tests such a
This study delves into the investigation of the efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in identifying malaria through the examination of cell images.The dataset employed encompasses a total of 27,558 images, harvested from the renowned Malaria Cell Images Dataset on Kaggle, encompassing cells of diverse nature.The architectonics of the CN
