<p class="Default">This paper examines the industry impact on financing corporate growth. According to underinvestment and overinvestment problems, ?rms are more likely to have less debt capacity in their growth stage of life cycle. However, it is known that new economy firms have higher levels of growth rate, return and risk, and particularly undertake more technical projects. Therefore, I test the hypothesis that debt capacity during the growth stage of life cycle is affected by New Economy. My empirical analysis covers U.S. companies listed on NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ in the period of 1990-2010. I find that growth firms have significantly smaller debt capacity. Nevertheless, supporting the life cycle theory of financing that emphasizes the adverse selection problem faced by new economy firms, this link tends to be less prominent in the new economy industry. The results complement prior studies that have found significant relationship between firm growth and corporate debt capacity by confirming the important role played by the industry membership (New Economy) in determining the intensity of this relation.</p>

This article reviews how CEOs of technology companies can be successful for firm performance at different stages of the life cycle. The object of the research is the technology companies of the United States of America. Such companies are given special attention today as they represent a key driver of the new economy cycle. Importantly, organizations of the technology sector are largely dependent on the personalities of their CEOs, who determine the vector of development, main activities and overall functioning of the firms. The study analyzes the relationship between the traits of the company leader and firm behavior at different stages of the life cycle of 244 technology companies.

It appears that somewhat of a dichotomy exists in many contemporary organisations with respect to the question of investment in information and particularly in information technology (IT). On the one hand, discussions of the new information-based economy and the promise of the new e-business domain leads inevitably to enormous faith being placed in IT, or perhaps more accurately, on the critical, appropriate utilisation of IT to deliver business benefits. Such faith is illustrated by quotes such as: “Across all industries, information and the technology that delivers it have become critical, strategic assets for business firms and their managers” (Laudon and Laudon, 2000). But such enthusiasm is tempered by another view or concern that IT is not delivering on its promises, that it is “oversold and undelivered” (Earl, 1994), and that demonstrating the business value of IT investment is difficult in many instances. This concern that managers do not perceive that they are deriving value for money when it comes to IT investments is troubling when information and IT are often presented as the very backbone of the new economy. Such cynicism is reflected in quotes such as: “There are many different ways to ruin a company. Speculation is the fastest, IT is the most reliable” (Kempis et al., 1999).

The analysis of studies on the problem of the formation of a new economy with the use of convergent (NBIC) technologies is carried out. The prevalence of overestimated expectations from the use of technologies of the 5th and 6th modes in the developed spheres of social systems activity was established, while ignoring or underestimating the possible negative consequences of their implementation. The necessity of implementing the concept of intellectual support in the activities of economic and social systems, including the components of predetermination, validity, permanence, adequacy, which form the prerequisites for the purposeful creation of intelligent products of a given functional purpose for all stages of the life cycle of innovative products, is shown.

INTRODUCTION: Schistosomiasis has been described as “one of the most devastating diseases of mankind, second only to malaria in its deleterious effects on the social and economic development of populations in many warm areas of the world.” The disease is worldwide and is probably spreading faster and becoming more intense than the overall research efforts designed to provide the basis for countering it. Moreover, there are indications that the development of water resources and the demands for increasing cultivation and food in developing countries may prevent adequate control of the disease and thus the number of infections are increasing.Our knowledge of the basic biology of the parasites causing the disease is far from adequate. Such knowledge is essential if we are to develop a rational approach to the effective control of human schistosomiasis. The miracidium is the first infective stage in the complex life cycle of schistosomes. The future of the entire life cycle depends on the capacity and ability of this organism to locate and enter a suitable snail host for further development, Little is known about the nervous system of the miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni and of other trematodes. Studies indicate that miracidia contain a well developed and complex nervous system that may aid the larvae in locating and entering a susceptible snail host (Wilson, 1970; Brooker, 1972; Chernin, 1974; Pan, 1980; Mehlhorn, 1988; and Jones, 1987-1988).

The plasma membrane of the Slime Mold, Physarum polycephalum, process unique morphological distinctions at different stages of the life cycle. Investigations of the plasma membrane of P. polycephalum, particularly, the arrangements of the intramembranous particles has provided useful information concerning possible changes occurring in higher organisms. In this report Freeze-fracture-etched techniques were used to investigate 3 hours post-fusion of the macroplasmodia stage of the P. polycephalum plasma membrane.Microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum (M3C), axenically maintained, were collected in mid-expotential growth phase by centrifugation. Aliquots of microplasmodia were spread in 3 cm circles with a wide mouth pipette onto sterile filter paper which was supported on a wire screen contained in a petri dish. The cells were starved for 2 hrs at 24°C. After starvation, the cells were feed semidefined medium supplemented with hemin and incubated at 24°C. Three hours after incubation, samples were collected randomly from the petri plates, placed in plancettes and frozen with a propane-nitrogen jet freezer.
