Three essays on the funds allocation of U.S. Firms by Shih, Chia Mei

“…We also show that option proceeds are important in explaining the time trend of the cash holdings of U.S. firms. In essay two, we employ comprehensive measures of investment and cash flow, and evaluate the findings of Chen and Chen (2012) that the investment-cash flow sensitivity of U.S. firms has disappeared over time. …”

Kierkegaardian selfhood as pursuit of the Greatest Commandment by Callaway, DA

“…In turn, the concluding Chapter V asserts that, for Kierkegaard, to love God is to employ love’s dying away to purge oneself of adherence to idols of the mind (including Schopenhauerian knowledge of the <em>nihil</em> or nothingness of self, world, and God) and therein offer a love to God that is individually one’s own.…”

Computational cell fate modelling for discovery of rewiring in apoptotic network for enhanced cancer drug sensitivity by Chua, Huey Eng, Zhang, Fan, Zheng, Jie, Mishra, Shital Kumar, Bhowmick, Sourav Saha

“…Here we propose a hybrid modelling approach based on ordinary differential equation (ODE) and machine learning to map network rewiring in the apoptotic pathways that may be responsible for the increase of drug sensitivity of tumour cells in triple-negative breast cancer. Our method employs Genetic Algorithm to search for the most likely network topologies by iteratively generating simulated protein phosphorylation data using ODEs and the rewired network and then fitting the simulated data with real data of cancer signalling and cell fate. …”
