A certain prima facie implausible idea about the semantics of donkey pronouns has found a surprising number of adherents (Davies 1981, Lappin 1989, Neale 1990, Lappin and Francez 1994, Yoon 1994, 1996, Krifka 1996a) and even crept into a textbook (Larson and Segal 1995).1 According to this idea, syntactically singular donkey pronouns like it in (1) are semantically numberless, so that (2) provi...

CO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs — CO2 injection into tertiary oil reservoirs has been widely accepted as an effective technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and has been used by the oil industry for over 40 years. Concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are leading to the investigation and realisation of its potential as a carbon storage method in recent years. With the right reservoir...

89 Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 25 number 3 © 2010 The australian national university The declining or insufficient returns from copra farming have forced Pacific producers to seek alternative sources of income. Burning coconut oil as a fuel is a relatively low-valued end use for the coconut. The labour intensiveness of copra production presents an intractable cost frontier that renders coc...

A reversal of the normal two-fluid competitive (water vs oil) electrowetting (nEW) on dielectric has been achieved by plasma irradiation of the normally hydrophobic fluoropolymer followed by thermal annealing. This process first renders the surface hydrophilic and then returns it to its normal hydrophobic properties as measured by water droplet contact and rolling angles. In the plasma-irradiat...

We investigate the dynamic relationship between global oil prices, stock market, and gas (FTSE-OG) returns in UK through a structural vector autoregressive (VAR) framework during COVID-19 pandemic. The VAR results suggest that impact of shocks related to price on FTSE-OG index becomes less important loses its explanatory power However, market increase their variations returns.

We present a benchmark that facilitates the evaluation of DAML+OIL repositories in a standard and systematic way. This benchmark is intended to evaluate the performance of DAML+OIL repositories with respect to extensional queries over a large data set that commits to a single realistic ontology. It consists of the ontology, customizable synthetic data, a set of test queries, and several perform...

This paper investigates the valuation and hedging of spread options on two commodity prices which in the long run are cointegrated. For long term option pricing the spread between the two prices should therefore be modelled directly. This approach offers significant advantages relative to the traditional multi-factor spread option pricing model since the correlation between two asset returns is...

This study explores the asymmetric impact of oil supply and demand shocks on sectoral stock market returns Pakistan. For this purpose, uses non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach based monthly time series data for four sectors in Pakistan Stock Exchange over period 2005–2018. First, findings unit root tests identified that all are stationary at first difference. Second, F-bou...
