The devil is in the detail? Investors’ mispricing of proxy voting outcomes on M&A deals by Li, Lingwei, Zhang, Huai

“…We find that post-merger abnormal stock returns are significantly higher for acquirers receiving higher approval rates: a one percentage point increase in the approval rate is associated with a 48 basis point increase in the market-adjusted stock return in the year after the merger is completed. …”

The impact of the timing of a prior year's auditor concessions on financial officers' judgments by Cheng, Mandy M., Tan, Hun-Tong, Trotman, Ken T., Tse, Aileen

“…We find that financial officers report a larger expected ultimate income-decreasing audit adjustment and are prepared to offer more concessions if the auditor had previously used a concession-start strategy (where the auditor had given a concession before the start of the negotiation but did not concede during the negotiation) relative to a concession-end strategy (where the concession was provided only in the last round of negotiation). …”

Controlling the thermally-driven crystallization of DNA-coated nanoparticles with formamide by Hueckel, Theodore, Woo, Seungyeon, Macfarlane, Robert J

“…Our results reveal a clear and predictable trend in the PAEs’ response to formamide, enabling rational control over the Tm of a diverse set of PAE systems. Unlike adjustments made through alterations to PAE design or solution parameters such as ionic strength, formamide achieves its temperature shift without impacting the kinetics of assembly. …”

Design of differentially-driven chip antenna by Tan, Heng Chuan.

“…The research works presented in this thesis conclude that the excess reactance of the differentially driven aperture coupled antenna can be eliminated by tuning the stub length; The required resistance of the antenna structure can be adjusted by varying the aperture length; the occurrence of the resonance depends on the electrical separation which is defined as the ratio of the distance between the two driving points to the free space wavelength λ_0. …”
