This paper examines the interaction of idiosyncratic risk, liquidity and return across time in determining fund performance, as well as across investment style portfolios of European mutual funds. This study utilizes a unique data set including returns for equity mutual funds registered in six European countries. Overall, using monthly data, we find that both liquidity and idiosyncratic risk ar...

We study the collisional and collapse dynamics of a twin Bose{Einstein con-densate with an attractive interatomic interaction. We show that the collision between two Bose{Einstein components with densities higher than the critical density for instability can rst lead to a collapse due to the attractive interatomic interaction followed by a cessation of collapse due to the mutual nonlinear inter...

We study the optically induced growth and interaction of self-written waveguides in a photopolymerizable resin. We investigate experimentally how the interaction depends on the mutual coherence and the relative power of the input beams and suggest an improved analytical model that describes the growth of single waveguides and the main features of their interaction in photosensitive materials.

Users of information systems are demanding a stronger integration of information and resources across system and network boundaries. In systems without a single single source of authority, a policy of mutual suspicion seems a prudent approach to coooperation. Mutual suspicion is enforced by restricting views on objects passed by reference in remote invocations. In this paper we describe the mec...

Bunches of streamers form the early stages of sparks and lightning but theory presently concentrates on single streamers or on coarse approximations of whole breakdown trees. Here a periodic array of interacting streamer discharges in a strong homogeneous electric field is studied in density or fluid approximation in two dimensions. If the period of the streamer array is small enough, the strea...

Multi-label feature selection is regarded as one of the most promising techniques that can be used to maximize the efficacy and efficiency of multi-label classification. However, because multi-label feature selection algorithms must consider multiple labels concurrently, the task is more difficult than singlelabel feature selection tasks. In this paper, we propose the Mutual Information-based m...

Human-Artifact interaction in real world situations is currently an active area of research due to the importance foreseen of the social capabilities of near future robots and other intelligent artifacts in integrating them into the human society. In this paper a new paradigm for mutual intention in human-artifact interactions based on the embodied computing paradigm called Intention through In...

In the PHM literature a majority of the research deals with solving technically related issues and there is a lack of material addressing the business benefits of such technology. Although PHM has the potential of creating a true paradigm shift, little consideration has been given to PHM being used for revenue generation other than the frequently cited case of maintenance cost reduction and cer...

multi frequency vibrations of a system of two isotropic circular plates interconnected by a rolling visco-elastic layer that has nonlinear characteristics are considered. the system with two circular plates and interconnecting discrete continually distributed rolling visco nonlinear elastic rheological elements presents the model of hybrid nonlinear system. the analytical solutions of first asy...

We present a theoretical study of electrorotation (ER) of two spherical particles under the action of a rotating electric field. When the two particles approach and finally touch, the mutual polarization interaction between the particles leads to a change in the dipole moment of the individual particle and hence the ER spectrum, as compared to that of the well-separated particles. The mutual po...
