A comparative study of stickiness of tumor cells to glass surfaces was undertaken with the use of three strains of rat ascites hepatoma, All 13, All 130, and All 7974. Stickiness was measured by calculating the percentage of cells clinging to a glass surface of the calculating plate after it was washed with salt solution. A significant difference was observed in the cell stickiness among these ...

We propose a dynamic structural corporate model in which firms face imperfect capital markets and frictional product markets. We highlight the importance of the endogeneity of firms’ short-term cash flows and the endogeneity of the marginal value of liquidity in determining the interactions between investment, financing and product price setting decisions. Our primary goal is to develop a finan...

Trap building by animals is rare because it comes at a substantial cost. Using materials with properties that vary across environments maintains trap functionality. The sticky spiral silks of spider orb webs are used to catch flying prey. Web geometry, accompanied by compensatory changes in silk properties, may change across environments to sustain web functionality. We exposed the spider Cyclo...

A leading explanation in the economic literature is that monetary policy has real effects on the economy because firms incur a cost when changing prices. Using a unique database of cost and retail price changes, we find that variation in menu costs results in up to 13.3% fewer price increases. We confirm that these effects are allocative and have a persistent impact on both prices and unit sale...

Stickiness of powder particles is often responsible for their impaired flow characteristics. Stickiness resulted from glass transition showing a relationship with mechanical -relaxations, and stickiness occurred differently in dairy solids modified in their lactose and protein contents. Glass transition, -relaxation and stickiness properties of milk solids systems were related to their solids c...

Abstract Managers consider environmental uncertainty in making decisions. Accordingly, this study aims to test the positive effect of on cost stickiness. This also investigates effects stickiness under different strategies. Further, firms need more able managers deal with uncertain environments. observes when have varying levels managerial ability. We run panel regression analysis 23,298 firm‐y...

Abstract This paper uses the data from Chinese capital market to study relationship between cost stickiness, earnings forecast accuracy and stock price information content. The empirical results show that: (1) Cost stickiness significantly affects response coefficient of prices. Lower improves ability current returns reflect future earnings, which is manifested in higher (FERC). (2) reduces non...

This study investigates the impact of cost stickiness on income smoothing. Prior literature at intersection between management and financial accounting has understood changes in behaviour as mere consequences short-term earnings incentives. By considering smoothing more complex strategy, we argue that resource adjustment strategies underlying might also have an long-term reporting choices. Spec...
