The correlation between CEO remuneration and company performance : a Singapore-Hong Kong comparison. by Chui, Vanessa Jie Yi., Luo, Yijie., Low, Jeanne Yi Jun.

“…As a whole, our results suggest that pay-for-performance schemes are still relevant in Hong Kong but not for Singapore. Given that Hong Kong companies are found to be generally more profitable than Singapore companies, our findings may compel Singapore companies to reevaluate their current remuneration frameworks.…”

The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…The deformation at well-defined, narrow plate boundaries depends on the relative plate motion, but how the deformation takes place within a distributed plate boundary zone remains a conundrum. This was confirmed by the seismological analyses of the 2012 great Wharton Basin earthquakes [moment magnitude (Mw) 8.6], which suggested the rupture of several faults at high angles to one another. …”

A Multi-satellite Perspective on “Hot Tower” Characteristics in the Equatorial Trough Zone by Pilewskie, J, Stephens, G, Takahashi, H, L’Ecuyer, T

“…The focus of this paper is to update this estimate using modern satellite observations, compare hot tower frequency and intensity characteristics to all deep convective cores that reach the upper troposphere, and document hot tower spatiotemporal variability in relation to precipitation and high cloud properties within the tropical trough zone (between 13 °S and 19 °N). Cloud vertical profiles from CloudSat and CALIPSO measurements supply convective core diameters and proxies for intensity and convective activity, and these proxies are augmented with brightness temperature data from geostationary satellite observations, precipitation information from IMERG, and cloud radiative properties from CERES. …”
