The multicomponent exchange of metals between magmatic fluids and silicate melts by Gion, AM, Gaillard, F

“…The equilibrium concentrations of each species were then used to calculate apparent equilibrium constants and characterize the exchange of 42 cations between the fluid and silicate melts for 129 aqueous species. We find that these apparent equilibrium constants vary as a function of the HCl and HF content of the experimental fluid. …”

The impact of founder personalities on startup success by McCarthy, PX, Gong, X, Braesemann, F, Stephany, F, Rizoiu, M, Kern, ML

“…We draw upon detailed data about the success of a large-scale global sample of startups (n = 21,187). We find that the Big Five personality traits of startup founders across 30 dimensions significantly differ from that of the population at large. …”

Essays on the measurement of leverage and risk of banking institutions by Yong, Vincent Gan Beng

“…Finally, we apply autoregressive models and Markov switching to study the effectiveness of the new measure and derive conclusions on the role of commercial banks in the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis. We find that SysLev outperforms STLFSI. We also find that aggregate balance sheet changes of the commercial banking sector can exert significant short term effects on the real economy. …”
