This paper aims to examine the nature of width, depth and configuration distribution along Kuya River and their temporal directionality of changes. It also pays attention to prepare some simplified indices regarding basin asymmetry, channel asymmetry and river bank stability and to explain the nature of basin and channel asymmetry and river bank stability using those constructed indices. Irregu...

This paper examines price formation subsequent to management forecasts of quarterly earnings. Consistent with prior studies, we find that the short-term market reaction to bad news forecasts is much larger than that to good news forecasts. Examining returns in the post-guidance period, we find a significant upward drift for both good and bad news forecasts. The asymmetry in the initial market r...

We estimate the sensitivity of investment to the cost of outside equity for young firms. For estimation, we exploit differences across firms in eligibility to a new tax relief program for individual outside investors in the UK. On average, investment increases 1.5% in response to a 10% drop in the cost of outside equity. This average conceals substantial heterogeneity: 1% of eligible firms issu...

In this paper, we assume that investors have the same information, but trade due to the evolution of their non-market wealth. Investors rebalance their portfolios in response to changes in their expected non-market wealth, and hence trade. Risky nonmarket wealth is non-hedgeable and independent of market risk, and thus represents an additive background risk. Investors who experience positive sh...

OBJECTIVE Better definition of normal amplitude asymmetry values on the classical EEG frequency bands. RESULTS EEG amplitude asymmetry index (AAI) is physiologically low in normal adults, differences usually lesser than 7%. CONCLUSION Persistent or intermittent amplitude asymmetry regional differences higher than 7% may be suggestive of pathology after adequate correlation with clinical dat...
