Though he is also concerned with freeing dance from pedestrian modes of activity, Merce Cunningham has selected a very different method for achieving his aim.

The very fact that they came so near to winning by the wrong method, war, led directly to their losing both the war and the wrong thing they fought for, since it forced Lincoln to free their slaves as a military measure.

In method as well as in theme this little anecdote with its details selected as much for expressiveness and allegory as for `` realism '', anticipates a kind of musical composition, as well as a kind of fictional composition, in which, as Leverkuhn says, `` there shall be nothing unthematic ''.

Comprehensive examination of any policy question calls for the performance of the intellectual tasks inseparable from any problem-solving method.

Let us not confuse the issue by labeling the objective or the method `` psychoanalytic '', for this is a well established term of art for the specific ideas and procedures initiated by Sigmund Freud and his followers for the study and treatment of disordered personalities.

A credulousness, a distaste for documentation, an uncritical reliance on contemporary accounts, and a proneness to assume a theory as true before adequate proof was provided were all evidences of his failure to comprehend the use of the scientific method or to evaluate the responsibilities of the historian to his reading public.

It was going to be hard going all the way because he hadn't written seriously for a while, except for a few stories, was tired of the old method of realismo he had so successfully used in The Sky Is Red.

It is the only method left for a man to escape from a woman's world.

This condition will undoubtedly continue until such time as a state uniform system of evaluation is established, or through mutual agreement of the local assessing officials for a method of standard assessment practice to be adopted.

Beginning with the October 1959 issue of the Journal, the method of production of copy for photo-offset reproduction was changed from varityping to hot typesetting.

Another recent achievement was the successful development of a method for the complete combustion in a bomb calorimeter of a metal in fluorine when the product is relatively non-volatile.

The method used for computing the respective Federal and State shares in total program costs is specifically set forth in the Act.

We are initiating research on the use of solid state materials for infrared detection using a method which will not require cooling of materials to attain high sensitivity.

This method of computing compression ratio cannot be used accurately for engines that have pistons with either domed or irregularly shaped heads.

It is generally an inaccurate method of rating, for the horsepower is that of the compressor motor, and many other components beside it determine how much cooling you'll get.

The longer I work, the more I am sure that for me, at least, a workmanlike method is important.

One of the advantages of this method is that the `` pill '' can remain in the patient for several days, permitting observation under natural conditions.

The final choice of material depends upon such factors as costs, method of fabrication, degree of complexity, number of units required, time available for tooling, and projected life expectancy of the unit.

More unitized lumber is being shipped on flat cars, and NLRDA studies show that flat cars loaded with the new Type 6-B floating-load method can be unloaded for as little as $.054/mbf.

The third method was, to our knowledge, successfully applied for the first time by C. Sheer and co-workers ( Ref. 2 ).

Although the Af calculation is obvious by analogy with that for gravitational field and osmotic pressure, it is interesting to confirm it by a method which can be generalized to include related effects.

In finance, discounted cash flow ( DCF ) analysis is a method of valuing a project, company, or asset using the concepts of the time value of money.

As a method of asset valuation it has often been opposed to accounting book value, which is based on the amount paid for the asset.

The number of losers — which may add up to the size and severity of poverty — can be unexpectedly large if the method and process of privatization and how it is implemented are seriously flawed ( e. g. lack of transparency leading to state-owned assets being appropriated at minuscule amounts by those with political connections, absence of regulatory institutions leading to transfer of monopoly rents from public to private sector, improper design and inadequate control of the privatization process leading to asset stripping.

One method of asset protection is the creation of a discretionary trust, of which the settlor may be the protector and a beneficiary, but not the trustee and not the sole beneficiary.

One method that looks into a correct discount rate is the capital asset pricing model.

In most cases the method is " straight line ", with the same depreciation charge from the date when an asset is brought into use until it is expected to be sold or no further economic benefits obtained from it, but other patterns of depreciation are used if assets are used proportionately more in some periods than others.

Using the so-called " perpetual inventory method ", one starts off from a benchmark asset figure, and adds on the net additions to fixed assets year by year, while deducting annual depreciation, all data being adjusted for price inflation using a capital expenditure price index.

The method of infrastructure asset management is based upon the definition of a Standard of service ( SoS ) that describes how an asset will perform in objective and measurable terms.

For example, one traditional actuarial method suggests that changing the asset allocation mix of investments can change the value of liabilities and assets ( by changing the discount rate assumption ).

Depreciation is any method of allocating such net cost to those periods expected to benefit from use of the asset.

This method estimates the value of an asset based on its expected future cash flows, which are discounted to the present ( i. e., the present value ).

This method is known as the net asset value or cost method.

An alternative approach to the net asset value method is the excess earnings method.

He was one of the originators of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, created the Sharpe ratio for risk-adjusted investment performance analysis, contributed to the development of the binomial method for the valuation of options, the gradient method for asset allocation optimization, and returns-based style analysis for evaluating the style and performance of investment funds.

Software licensing audits are an important part of software asset management, but also serve as a method of corporate reputation management by ensuring that the company is operating within legal and ethical guidelines.

There is no universal method or basis of valuing assets and liabilities for the purposes of calculating net asset value used throughout the world, and the criteria used for the valuation will depend upon the circumstances, the purposes of the valuation and any regulatory and / or accounting principles that may apply.

Where there is no objective method of calculating the value of an asset, the fund manager's own valuation methods subject to a fund's directors or trustees is usually used.

An alternative method of ranking portfolio management is Jensen's alpha, which quantifies the added return as the excess return above the security market line in the capital asset pricing model.

That common understanding I take to mean the highest price an asset might reasonably be expected to bring if sold by the owner in the normal method applicable to the asset in question in the ordinary course of business in a market not exposed to any undue stresses and composed of willing buyers and sellers dealing at arm's length and under no compulsion to buy or sell.

* Fundamental analysis – a stock valuation method that uses financial analysis

This method, widely used in drug development, is referred to as rNPV ( risk-adjusted NPV ), and similar methods are used to incorporate credit risk in the probability model of CDS valuation.

Following the stock market crash of 1929, discounted cash flow analysis gained popularity as a valuation method for stocks.

Both the income stream selected and the associated cost of capital model determine the valuation result obtained with each method.

On page two among various Acknowledgments, the author writes: ' To Mr. Arnold Fraser-Campbell the author is particularly indebted for permission to use material and quotations from his manuscript in which is described his method of hand valuation by counting losing tricks, and from which the author has developed the Losing Trick Count described herein.

For related discussion – and graphical representation – see section " Interpretation " under Datar – Mathews method for real option valuation.

Above we used the method of arbitrage-free pricing (“ delta-hedging ”) to derive the Black – Scholes PDE, and then solved the PDE to get the valuation formula.

The method also allows the valuation of a likely stream of income in the future, in such a way that the annual incomes are discounted and then added together, thus providing a lump-sum " present value " of the entire income stream.

The second method of valuation uses replacement costs.

Criticisms are leveled against each method of valuation.

A well known problem with this method is the so-called " hypothetical bias ", whereby people tend to overstate their valuation of goods and services.

In finance, the binomial options pricing model ( BOPM ) provides a generalizable numerical method for the valuation of options.

Option valuation using this method is, as described, a three-step process:

Depreciation is a method of allocation, not valuation.

For example, valuation of inventories using LIFO instead of weighted average method.

For a valuation using the discounted cash flow method, one first estimates the future cash flows from the investment and then estimates a reasonable discount rate after considering the riskiness of those cash flows and interest rates in the capital markets.

Such differences can lead to different valuation methods or different interpretations of the method results.

* Fuzzy pay-off method for real option valuation

* Flows to equity, a method of corporate valuation

The tax power is vested in the states and it is delegated by law to the local bodies, specifying the valuation method, rate band, and collection procedures.
