Quantifying Dicamba Volatility under Field Conditions: Part II, Comparative Analysis of 23 Dicamba Volatility Field Trials

Quantifying requirements volatility effects

In an organization operating in the bancassurance sector we identified a low-risk IT subportfolio of 84 IT projects comprising together 16,500 function points, each project varying in size and duration, for which we were able to quantify its requirements volatility. This representative portfolio stems from a much larger portfolio of IT projects. We calculated the volatility from the function po...

Volatility After-Effects: Evidence from the Field

We propose and test the idea that investor perceptions exhibit volatility ‘after-effects’ whereby perceived volatility is distorted after prolonged exposure to extreme volatility levels. Using VIX to measure perceived volatility in S&P 500 stocks, we find evidence of significant perceptual distortions in the aftermath of volatility regimes, consistent with the after-effect theory and recent exp...

Sorption of aged dicamba residues in soil.

The effect of aging (residence time in soil) on dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) and a major metabolite, 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid (3,6-DCSA) sorption was determined in an unamended and a carbon-amended sandy loam and in a silt loam soil. During the incubation, sequential solvent extraction with 0.01 M calcium chloride solution and aqueous acetonitrile + hydrochloric acid was used ...
