Hybrid porous carbon fibers with strong anion-exchangeable functional groups (HACAX) were synthesized by alkylation of pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile. HACAX exhibits generic stable positively charged functional groups. This expands the applications of porous carbon media for interacting with anions without adjusting pH, such as Cr(vi) adsorption at natural pH.

This paper explores the efficiency of UK specialist and composite insurers transacting general insurance business. The concept of efficiency concerns an insurer’s ability to produce a given set of outputs (such as premiums and investment income) via the use of inputs such as administrative and sales staff and financial capital.

We analyze the simplest Condorcet cycle with three players and three alternatives within a strategic bargaining model with recognition probabilities and costless delay. Mixed consistent subgame perfect equilibria exist whenever the geometric mean of the agents’ risk coefficients, ratios of utility differences between alternatives, is at most one. Equilibria are generically unique, Pareto effici...

Extant studies of mergers and acquisitions have relied on stock price reactions to evaluate the impact of these events. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Healy et al. (1992) sample over a ten year period using a managerially controlled efficiency measure, data envelopment analysis (DEA). Our individual firm-level year-by-year analyses results indicate that the managerial performa...
