Three essays on corporate finance by Sun, Rui

“…The above pattern remains robust if we apply various matching schemes or if we only look at the transitory cash flow shock. To find out what is the driving force of private firms’ cash flow allocation, we attempt to draw parallel evidence from public firms, but find that the analysis within public firms cannot be applied mechanically to private firms. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…To explore the effect of subglacial hydrology on the grounding line (GL) and tidal flexure, in Chapter 4, I develop a model combining a viscoelastic ice stream and subglacial hydrology. …”

Real-Time Event-Triggered Object Tracking in the Presence of Model Drift and Occlusion by Guan, Mingyang, Wen, Changyun, Shan, Mao, Ng, Cheng-Leong, Zou, Ying

“…The occlusion and drift identification module is intended to perform on-line evaluation of the short-term tracking. When a model drift event occurs, the target re-detection module is activated by the event-triggered decision model to relocate the target and reinitialize the short-term tracker. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…We then move on to study the problem of moments of moments of zeta and the closely related problem of estimating shifted moments of zeta on the half line. Moments of moments of zeta were introduced by Fyodorov and Keating [42] in order to understand the value distribution of zeta in short intervals on the critical line. …”

Inequality and the 1% by Dorling, D

“…Leading geographer Danny Dorling goes in pursuit of the latest research into how the lives and ideas of the 1% impact on the remaining 99%; and the findings are shocking. Inequality in the UK is increasing; more and more people are driven towards the poverty line. …”

Searching for a cultural identity in Singapore – the idea of home, belonging and not belonging through the individual and collective in Kuo Pao Kun’s The Spirits Play. by Ho, Ziting.

“…It is a place that they desire to return to, a place that contains the self and the family, a place where they can find peace and thus rest in peace. Being in “a world of flux”, characters are unable to find this peace as they still hold on to hope even “when life’s over, [where] there won’t be a ‘tomorrow’ any more” (Kuo 74). …”
