Book Description
Seven years ago, Michael Hallmore became the first guy to ever ask Katie out, though he also became the first guy to ever stand her up, leaving her humiliated. These days, Michael is known as one of most eligible bachelors in the world, and the multibillionaire tycoon has a history of being cold, difficult to please, and unreasonably controlling. Katie has always kept a special rotten place in her heart for this man, yet now she’s expected to not only see him, but to talk to him like he’s her boss. She knows it’s a death sentence. Michael knows something isn’t right the moment he lays eyes on the young interior designer entering his office. There isn’t a fleck of apprehension or submission in the eyes of this beauty, with her short, dark hair and gorgeous legs. But will Michael be able to put his dominant nature aside while working with Katie? Will Katie’s resolve only feed his burning desire to have her bound to his bed, submitting to him? Will Katie still feel the same uncontrollable desire for him she felt when they first met?

Firm Dominance in EU Competition Law
Author: Jorge Marcos Ramos
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403520000
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
How does it come about that a certain firm dominates a market? Can an understanding of this process lead to a more effective enforcement of competition law? That is the question approached in this compelling book. The author reviews the European Union’s (EU’s) Article 102 case law, comparing it with United States (US) provisions, demonstrating that new ways of looking at market power are needed – today’s tech giants differ from older monopolies. He clarifies the role of dominant firms in the competitive process, proposing that conduct should be scrutinized differently depending on the source of market power, rather than using the same approach for all dominant undertakings. Supporting his contention that the legal consequences that derive from holding a dominant position cannot be disassociated from the sources of that market power—that a dynamic understanding of dominance requires looking both forwards and backwards in time—the author examines such sources of dominance as the following: ‒ statutory dominance derived from explicit protectionist measures or subtler geoeconomic strategies; ‒ legacy firms such as the telecommunications or transport industries; ‒ natural monopolies, e.g., the exploitation of a mine; ‒ investment efforts undertaken in a competitive environment; ‒ intangible resources such as timing, reputation, experience, innovation capabilities, or managerial processes; ‒ lucky monopolies; and ‒ anticompetitive behavior on the road to dominance. Drawing insights from EU and US case law, industrial organization scholarship, and strategic management literature, the book resolves questions related to the role that the origins of market power have played and should play in the enforcement of EU competition rules against dominant firms. It concludes with a list of policy recommendations bringing the application of Article 102 TFEU against dominant firms more in line with the objective of protecting the competitive process. With its focus on how EU competition law enforcement should be fine-tuned to adequately incorporate the origins of firm dominance into the analysis of single-firm behavior, the book makes a major contribution to the analysis of anticompetitive effects. Practitioners, competition authorities, and academics in competition law will greatly appreciate the book’s combination of legal analysis and recommendations for policy reform.

Using Dominating Sets to Improve the Performance of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Author: Marco Aurélio Spohn
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network that does not rely on any fixed infrastructure (i.e., routing facilities, such as wired networks and access points), and whose nodes must coordinate among themselves to determine connectivity and routing. Coordination in ad hoc networks includes operations such as neighborhood discovery, organization of nodes (i.e., topology control and clustering), and routing. Most mechanisms performing these operations employ broadcasting of signaling messages as the underlying mechanism. The broadcast can target a portion of the network (e.g., gathering neighborhood information), or the entire network (e.g., discovering routes on demand). The focus of this thesis is the design and analysis of algorithms that improve broadcasting and hierarchical organization in ad hoc networks. To design such algorithms, concepts from domination in graphs are explored, because of their similarities to the problems arising with the broadcasting of signaling and data in MANETs.
