With rising trading volumes in domestic and cross-border security transactions, risks faced by global financial firms and markets are increasing. To manage settlement risks and maintain competitiveness in global financial markets, the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to shorten the settlement cycle of security transactions from the current T+3 to T+1. As a result, key pla...

This paper asserts that economists of the mid twentieth century developed two methods of analyzing institutions. Austrian and Coasean economists developed complementary approaches to institutional analysis. Coase developed a research program of Comparative Institutional Analysis, whereby economists compare alternative institutions according to their most similar features. Ludwig von Mises and F...

Education and training interventions can be evaluated through the success of learning outcomes. Kirkpatrick's four-level model is a widely accepted and highly popular evaluation tool. However, some criticise the model's shortcomings. This article will examine the extent to which the four-level model can evaluate design and technology students' learning about aesthetics after an intervention by ...

What qualities lead some Internet videos to reach millions of viewers while others languish in obscurity? This question has been largely unexamined empirically. We addressed this issue by examining the role of emotional response and video source on the likelihood of spreading an Internet video by validating the emotional response to an Internet video and investigating the underlying mechanisms....

We give a Clifford+T representation of the Toffoli gate of T -depth 1, using four ancillas. More generally, we describe a class of circuits whose T -depth can be reduced to 1 by using sufficiently many ancillas. We show that the cost of adding an additional control to any controlled gate is at most 8 additional T -gates, and T -depth 2. We also show that the circuit THT does not possess a T -de...
