Liquidity, Return, and Order Flow Dynamics Linkages Between REITs and the Stock Market This paper explores liquidity and order flow spillovers across NYSE stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Impulse response functions and Granger causality tests indicate the existence of persistent liquidity spillovers running from REITs to nonREITs. Specifically, REIT liquidity indicators are for...

t-shape profile barriers are one of the most successful barriers among many different profiles. it has been shown that using welled diffusers on the top of t-shaped barriers makes a reactive barrier that shows better performance than that of any other used profile barriers compared with their equivalent absorbent barrier. the contribution of the top surface of reactive t-profile barriers to the...

background: photoreactivation of microorganisms following uv disinfection is a disadvantage of using uv technology for wastewater treatment, since in some cases it may even reach several logarithms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of the photoreactivation of indicator bacteria (coliform and streptococci) in the irradiated effluent. methods: this study was performed using t...

OBJECTIVE To compare quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis and single-indicator thermodilution to measure pulmonary edema in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHOD Ten patients with ARDS were included. All underwent spiral CT of the thorax for estimating gas content of lung (GVCT), tissue volume of lung (TVCT), tissue volume index (TVI), mean radiographic at...

Medical guidelines can significantly improve quality of medical care and reduce costs. But how do we get sound and well-structured guidelines? This paper investigates the use of quality indicators, which are formulated by medical institutions to evaluate medical care, to evaluate the guidelines. The main research questions are (i) whether it is possible to formalise those indicators in a specif...

To investigate the kinetics of PCBs and dioxins, 3 week old broilers and 3 month old pigs were fed with a 10-fold diluted feed from the Belgium crisis for one week, followed by a period on clean feed. In the case of broilers this resulted in levels for dioxins, non-ortho and mono-ortho PCBs in fat of 102, 84 and 216 ng TEQ/kg, summarized to 402 ng TEQ/kg. Total levels decreased to 217 and 109 n...

In this paper, a new indicator WARS (Weighted Accumulated Reconstruction Series) at classifying the state of financial market, either trending state or mean-reverting state, was presented. Originated from the computation of Entropy, this new indicator was found to be able to reflect the market behavior accurately and easily. The algorithm of generating WARS and its meaning related to Entropy we...
