Advances in trading technology have made it possible for traders to very quickly buy and resell financial assets. How does this increase in trading frequency affect prices? In a traditional rational expectations framework, since prices reflect underlying fundamentals, trading frequency typically does not play a significant role. We show that this result is very sensitive to small errors in the ...

This dissertation originates from a classical result that the `-stability of the convolution operator associated with a summable sequence are equivalent to each other for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. This dissertation is motivated by the recent result by C. E. Shin and Q. Sun (Journal of Functional Analysis, 256(2009), 2417–2439), where the `-stability of infinite matrices in the Gohberg-Baskakov-Sjöstrand class...

BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence indicates that in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with a combined semitendinosus and gracilis (STGR) graft there are large deficits in the internal rotation strength, which has led some authors to recommend harvest of only ST tendon whenever possible. The purpose of this study was to assess the isometric (IT) and peak torque ...

The chronobot is a device for time and knowledge exchange. The concept of the chronobot first appeared in a science fiction short story, “Nocturne,” written by the author some 20 years ago [2]. Recently, the Industry Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Institute for Information Industry (III), two leading research institutes in Taiwan, invited the author to lead a pioneering project to put...

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) which originates from the skin adnexa, most probably eccrine and apocrine glands. This tumor has a head and neck predilection and also occurs in the chest, abdomen, back, and perineum. We hereby present a 63-year-old man with PCACC located on the shin. No previous similar case has been reporte...
