This study examines 196 pure leverage increases consisting of senior offerings that reduce junior securities. We offer the following contributions not previously discovered by the senior-for-junior research. First, we show that firms for which less information exists have positive announcement period stock returns that are significantly greater than firms for which more information exists. Seco...

This thesis describes a new implementation architecture for polymorphic methods in Generic Java using the NextGen compiler framework. The standard Generic Java (Java 1.5) compiler erases generic types at compilation. This transformation prohibits type-dependent operations, limiting generic expressivity. Type erasure causes unchecked warnings at compilation, and unexpected behavior or exceptions...

Fusarium Head Blight is an important wheat disease in the Argentine Pampas region, being Fusarium graminearum the predominant pathogen. DNA polymorphism of the isolates was analyzed by IGS-RFLP and ISSR. IGS-RFLP and ISSR profiling were carried out using six endonucleases and eight primers, respectively. IGS-RFLP yielded 41 bands, 30 of which were polymorphic while ISSR produced 87 bands with 4...
