We study the trading dynamics in a distressed asset market with search frictions. When trading of a financial asset ceases due to an adverse selection problem, a large player can resurrect the market by buying up bad assets which involves assuming financial losses. The player can, however, delay the intervention: a mere announcement today of intervening at a later point in time can cause market...

For a long time emotions have been kept out of the deliberate tools of science; scientists have expressed emotion, but no tools could sense and respond to their affective information. This paper highlights research at the MIT Media Laboratory aimed at giving computers the ability to comfortably sense, recognize, and respond to the human communication of emotion, especially affective states such...

The aim of this paper is to examine from an integrative approach to what extent occupational stressors when in combination with other variables that have accredited their explicative value in accounting for teacher distress in other domains (personal, psychosocial and outside the occupational sphere) contribute to predicting and/or explaining the different components of burnout. The sample cons...

astigmatism’s defect has not yet been formulated in physics and medical physics books theoretically. in this paper, we are trying to formulate the astigmatism’s defect. the results of formulation show that “the degree of astigmatism is negative reverse the distance that vision’s condition of astigmatism’s chart lines change conditions in dimness angle from dimness condition at infinite distance...

the main task of drilling the formation by the bit is done via scraping, crushing and grinding. discharging the fluid from the bit nozzles is done with high pressure which assists to break the rocks. different parameters affect the bit selection and design for each drilling formation, but the most important one is drillability that depends on hardness of the formation. in this paper, the design...

Graphitic Structures by Design (GSD) is a novel technology for growing graphite in precise patterns from the nano to the macroscale, rapidly (>1 layer/sec), at low temperatures (ca. 500C), and in a single step using ordinary laboratory equipment. The GSD process consists of exposing particular metals (Ni, Pd, Pt, Co), which act as ‘templates’, to a fuel rich combustion environment. As an exampl...

at present, story literature has achieved an extraordinary credit in terms of purposing the foremost and most orginal issues concerning to human as well as the rate of influence and attraction of reader; and this has led to serious attention and efforts made by critics and experts for conducting criticism and analysis on its constituent components and elements from different points of view. con...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...
