Allocation of funds and Research Output : The Case of UK Universities

The paper develops an empirical approach for analysing the relationships between funding and research output. In particular, it focuses on how the changes in the funding structure of multi-disciplinary old British universities have affected their propensity to carry out research of a more applied nature. First, the evolution of the funding structure of UK universities in the period 1989-93 is s...

Pegging Mitochondrial Position

JCB • VOLUME 182 • NUMBER 1 • 2008 2 ATHEROSCLEROSIS NEEDS SHC Liu et al. fi nd that an adaptor protein called Shc orchestrates the response of endothelial cells to stress caused by turbulent blood fl ow. In endothelial cells, alterations in blood fl ow are sensed by cell–cell junctions and cell–matrix adhesions, which can trigger infl ammation and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The ...

Graph pegging numbers

In graph pegging, we view each vertex of a graph as a hole into which a peg can be placed, with checker-like “pegging moves” allowed. Motivated by well-studied questions in graph pebbling, we introduce two pegging quantities. The pegging number (respectively, the optimal pegging number) of a graph is the minimum number of pegs such that for every (respectively, some) distribution of that many p...

Liquidity risk and the performance of UK mutual funds ¬リニ

a r t i c l e i n f o We examine the role of liquidity risk, both as a stock characteristic as well as systematic liquidity risk, in UK mutual fund performance for the first time. We find that on average UK mutual funds are tilted towards liquid stocks (except for small stock funds as might be expected) but that, counter-intuitively, liquidity rather than illiquidity, as a stock characteristic ...
