Do investors over-anticipate? : Evidence from their reactions to gain and loss contingencies by Xu, Tu

“…In this thesis, I conducted a between-participants experiment to examine how investors anticipate firms’ uncertain future outcomes in response to contingency disclosures. I find that, inconsistent with expected utility theory but consistent with findings from psychology, investors raise a firm’s valuation in response to a gain contingency as if the gain contingency has realized its best possible outcome. …”

Charge shielding effects of PEG bound to NH2-terminated PAMAM dendrimers – an experimental approach by Johnston, Brandon M, Grodzinsky, Alan J, Hammond, Paula T

“…Here, we develop a fluorescence-based assay utilizing anionic biological tissue to quantify the electrostatic binding affinity of a library of PEG–PAMAM conjugates with various PEG chain lengths and grafting densities. We find that covalently bound PEG chains reduce the electrostatic binding affinity more significantly than what can be achieved through covalent bonds only. …”
