Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Chapter 1 studies the impact of credit rating changes on corporate bond returns. This study uses a large dataset of corporate bond transactions from the TRACE database for the US corporate bond market, combined with credit rating changes from Fitch, Moody's and Standard and Poor's (S&P), to analyse over 22,000 bonds, coupled with approximately 28,400 rating events over nearly six years. …”

The trembling-hand problem for LTLf planning by Yu, P, Zhu, S, De Giacomo, G, Vardi, M

“…We study the trembling-hand problem in the context of reasoning about actions and planning for temporally extended goals expressed in Linear Temporal Logic on finite traces (LTLf), where we want to synthesize a strategy (aka plan) that maximizes the probability of satisfying the LTLf goal in spite of the trembling hand. …”

What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…Moreover, graphomotor training with the non-dominant hand resulted in visual discrimination improvements comparable to those of dominant hand training, despite the inherent differences between hands in motor performance and in the amount of improvement in shape tracing throughout training. …”
