Nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. These types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters. In the current study, the performance of floating breakwater (FBs) under regular waves was studied using the physical modeling method. For the mode...

In table 1 I report mean values of selected student characteristics that are determined prior to university attendance, separately by tracking/random assignment period and by dormitory/non-dormitory status. I report p-values from testing if these means are equal across dormitory students in the tracking and random assignment periods (column 4) and across non-dormitory students in the tracking a...

 Become a ruthless, critical editor  create multiple drafts based on thoughtful editing.  Start with an outline/list – which you should think about critically after you think you have it all down. Then revise that list to improve the logical flow, and add or remove some points.  Use your first draft to write all/any ideas you have.  The second draft should be a small part of the first draf...

This draft is quite preliminary so I look forward to our meeting. For me, writing this draft has raised a number of questions about what institutional features of the tax system might explain why the Survey of Consumer Finance data indicates a large stock of unrealized capital gains on actively-managed businesses, but the capital gains on such businesses seem to be relatively modest in the Stat...
