Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Hybrid free space optics/radio frequency communication for next generation wireless networks by Sharma, Shubha

“…A unifi ed performance analysis is addressed and novel expressions for average bit error rate (BER) are obtained. The theoretical results presented in the above mentioned proposed schemes have been extensively validated by Monte-carlo simulations. …”

Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”

Phase-controllable growth of ultrathin 2D magnetic FeTe crystals by Kang, Lixing, Ye, Chen, Zhao, Xiaoxu, Zhou, Xieyu, Hu, Junxiong, Li, Qiao, Liu, Dan, Das, Chandreyee Manas, Yang, Jiefu, Hu, Dianyi, Chen, Jieqiong, Cao, Xun, Zhang, Yong, Xu, Manzhang, Di, Jun, Tian, Dan, Song, Pin, Kutty, Govindan, Zeng, Qingsheng, Fu, Qundong, Deng, Ya, Zhou, Jiadong, Ariando, Ariando, Miao, Feng, Hong, Guo, Huang, Yizhong, Pennycook, Stephen J., Yong, Ken-Tye, Ji, Wei, Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Liu, Zheng

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The establishment of a library of germylenes and stannylenes bearing different N-bound aromatic substituents with varying degrees of steric bulk allows for a systematic study of the steric effects of the flanking aryl groups on the overall molecular metrics of these complexes. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”
