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. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This has allowed a variety of chemically and crystallographically interesting studies to be performed, specifically:</p> <p>Determining the novel geometry around transition-metal hydride centers, where the signal due to the hydrides can be more confidently distinguished than in an X-ray diffraction experiment; using Laue neutron derived difference Fourier maps to demonstrate that proton disorder can be mistakenly assigned in X-ray derived crystallographic models; performing variable temperature Laue neutron diffraction to identify proton migratory behaviour across short-strong hydrogen bonds; reassigning the space group of a previously reported cobalt(III) coordination complex, in which the lack of inversion symmetry becomes apparent upon accurate determination of the hydrogen atom positions; using Laue neutron diffraction data to more confidently classify systems as co-crystals or salts.…”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

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. …”
