36 stratagems & applications by Soe Thiha @ Nyan Lin Htun

“…There are some 6 different fields of strategies for different state of the situation, starting when one is superior, gaining ground to losing, each bearing 6 individual strategies each. It is now widely accepted that some war strategies could be applied in business world, behavioral science and thus taken another leap trying to better apply in other areas such as geopolitical affairs, behavioral change, public policy etc. …”

Impact of jet fuel hedging on firm value : a study on global airlines. by Quah, Hui Li., Tan, Jazreel Yan Zhen., Teo, Lay Hui.

“…We also find three factors, namely managerial shares and options holdings, financial distress costs and the presence of alternative hedging mechanism that have significant bearing on airlines’ hedging decisions. Upon understanding how hedging value adds across different regions and periods of fuel price volatility, investors can pay more attention to these three factors in order to accurately predict and assess airlines’ hedging decisions. …”

Effects of rapid thermal annealing on structure and luminescence of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots by Xu, S. J., Wang, X. C., Chua, S. J., Wang, C. H., Fan, Weijun, Jiang, J., Xie, X. G.

“…Postgrowth rapid thermal annealing was used to modify the structural and optical properties of the self-assembled InAs quantum dotsgrown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. It is found that significant narrowing of the luminescencelinewidth (from 78.9 to 20.5 meV) from the InAs dot layer occurs together with about 260 meV blueshift at annealing temperatures up to 850 °C. …”
