Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…The results show that the bond market responds to news on credit quality asymmetrically: credit rating downgrades, representing bad news for bond holders, produce the strongest response in returns, whilst upgrades do not generate a statistically significant increase in returns. …”

Low-power high-performance SAR ADC with redundancy and digital error-correction by Sharma, Sunny

“…The proposed switching scheme reduces CDAC switching energy by 88.55%, along with a 75% CDAC area reduction when compared to a conventional switching scheme [1] implementing a similar 1.5-bit/cycle conversion. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Lastly, in a patchy current-dominated meadow the spatial variability in sediment carbon stocks did not correlate with the spatial distribution of patches. One vegetated patch showed substantially higher sediment carbon than the rest of the meadow, which was attributed to the recent persistence of the specific patch. …”
