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. …”

Direct observation of resonant energy transfer in lanthanide complexes from multidisciplinary perspectives by Chen, Xuebo

“…However, in special case incorrect arguments and formulae were often employed by ignoring energy resonance conditions and selection rules of state-to-state transition, especially for the sensitive intramolecular EnT of lanthanide complexes bearing a uniform donor-acceptor distance. Herein, we proposed an innovative model of energy degeneracy crossing controlled EnT, which can be experimentally confirmed by a bi-exponential decay using the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. …”
