WHAT MAKES SPECULATORS TO TRADE MORE OFTEN? EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS ON TSE DATA Abstract In this paper we investigate, how the value of transaction costs (TC) and the frequency of investment decision-making can influence the perception of market efficiency. The profit performance of four types of investors is evaluated under the schedule of TC. Hypothetical results for several high-frequency time se...

Teacher self-efficacy (TSE) is associated with a multitude of positive outcomes for teachers and students. However, the development of TSE is an under-researched area. Bandura (1997) proposed four sources of self-efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and affective states. This study introduces a first instrument to assess the four sources for...

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or “prion diseases” are a group of unconventional fatal disleases. TSEs are characterised by the accumulation of a modified form of the normal host glycoprotein, PrP (PrP’). In the course of infection PrP is converted to an abnormally protease resistant form, PrPSc. The exact nature of the infectious agent responsible for these diseases remains c...

This paper presents a brief review of the twin-screw extruder (TSE) process, analyses the fluid flow aspects of a new application of TSE in rheomixing casting, and simulates fundamental micro-mechanisms of the rheological behaviour of metallurgical alloys. The TSE is widely used as a mixing tool in the polymer industry. The numerical simulation of the TSE process is complex and there are only f...

Agents causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases are resistant to inactivation by several conventional decontamination methods. Using an animal bioassay, we compared the TSE agent disinfectant efficacy of a commercially available product referred to alternatively as LpH-SE, LpH-AG, or LpH-st to that of a similarly named but differently formulated product, Environ LpH, which...

BACKGROUND The study of P element repression in Drosophila melanogaster led to the discovery of the telomeric Trans-Silencing Effect (TSE), a homology-dependent repression mechanism by which a P-transgene inserted in subtelomeric heterochromatin (Telomeric Associated Sequences, "TAS") has the capacity to repress in trans, in the female germline, a homologous P-lacZ transgene located in euchroma...

Scrapie is transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), which causes neurological signs in sheep, but confirmatory diagnosis is usually made postmortem on examination of the brain for TSE-associated markers like vacuolar changes and disease-associated prion protein (PrP(Sc)). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether testing of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) at two dif...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether exposure of human monocytes/macrophages to tobacco smoke induces their release of membrane microvesicles (MVs) that carry tissue factor (TF) released from cells, whether smoke-induced MVs are procoagulant, and what cellular processes might be responsible for their production. METHODS AND RESULTS We found that exposure of human THP-1 monocytes and primary human...

Although the reciprocal relationship of teacher burnout and self-efficacy (TSE) is well documented, literature still lacks studies investigating their (latent) changes interrelations change over time. By applying a latent regression model in our study, we aimed to contribute this research gap by examining relations TSE during COVID-19 pandemic—a very challenging time for teachers. As implementa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of diagnosing aqueductal patency and image quality between high spatial resolution three-dimensional (3D) high-sampling-efficiency technique (sampling perfection with application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolutions [SPACE]) and T2-weighted (T2W) two-dimensional (2D) turbo spin echo (TSE) at 3-T in patients with hydrocephalus. MATERIALS AN...
