In my contribution to this Symposium I wish to explore two main themes. The first deals with the contribution of education to economic growth at the macro level. In this part I shall discuss the evidence of the importance ...
The electronic properties and photocatalytic activity of S and/or Bi-doped anatase TiO2 are investigated by first-principles density functional theory calculations. For S-doped TiO2, S 3p states locate above the top of the ...
The large intrinsic band gap in TiO2 has hindered severely its potential application for visible-light irradiation. In this study, we have used a passivated approach to modify the band edges of anatase-TiO2 by codoping of ...
A significant problem in the area of stock selection is that of identifying the factors that affect a security’s return. While modern portfolio theory suggests a linear multi-factor model in the form of Arbitrage Pricing ...
A family of organic molecules containing the DNA intercalating chromophores, 4-nitro- and 4-amino 1,8-naphthalimide, conjugated to a diquat derivative by an ‘orthogonal’ phenyl spacer have been prepared and characterised. ...
Using microwave irradiation, water soluble, optically active, penicillamine (Pen) capped CdSe nanocrystals with broad spectral distribution (430-780 nm) of photoluminescence have
been produced and studied by a range of ...
Conformationally restricted amino acids are important components in peptidomimetics and drug design. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a novel, non-proteinogenic constrained delta amino acid containing a cyclobutane ...
The human thromboxane (TX)A2 receptor (TP) gene encodes two TP isoforms, TPalpha and TP beta that are regulated by distinct promoters designated promoter (Prm) 1 and Prm3, respectively. Previous studies established that ...
Dilapidation surveys may require extensive resources to achieve detailed accounts of damage for intervention purposes or may involve only limited resources but be restricted to an extremely rapid assessment (e.g. ...
We have demonstrated rare-earth plasma extreme ultraviolet sources at 6.7 nm to investigate the spectral behavior and the conversion efficiencies to different laser wavelength and the initial target densities. The conversion ...
As wind penetration levels on power systems increase worldwide, the dynamic characteristics of these systems are changing due to the displacement of synchronous generation. One issue, of particular concern, is the resulting ...
This chapter explores the issue of overfitting in grammar-based Genetic Programming. Tools such as Genetic Programming are well suited to problems in finance where we seek to learn or induce a model from data. Models that ...
This paper empirically analyses risk in the euro relative to other currencies.
Comparisons are made between a subperiod encompassing the final transitional
stage to full monetary union with a subperiod prior to this. ...

This paper measures and compares the tail risks of limit and market orders using Extreme Value Theory. The analysis examines realised tail outcomes using the Dealing 2000-2 electronic broking system based on completed ...

This paper examines the relationship between the price bid for a takeover target, the probability of the bid succeeding and the target's price over the course of the bid. We test and reject Samuelson and Rosenthal's (1986) ...
The excess returns earned by takeover targets raises questions of efficiency in the market
for corporate control. Brown and Raymond and Samuelson and Rosenthal explain the target
share pricing process as a function of ...
Individuals experiencing poor health are less likely to vote at election time, despite being the ones most affected by health policies implemented by the successful party. This paper investigates the relationship between ...
