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 device for the application of uniaxial strain to single crystal samples for use in synchrotron radiation experiments by Gannon, L., Bosak, A., Burkovsky, R. G., Nisbet, G., Hoesch, M., Petrović, Alexander Paul

“…We present the design, construction, and testing of a straining device compatible with many different synchrotron radiation techniques, in a wide range of experimental environments (including low temperature, high field and ultra-high vacuum). The device has been tested by X-ray diffraction on single crystal samples of quasi-one-dimensional Cs2Mo6Se6 and K2Mo6Se6, in which microscopic strains up to a Δc/c = 0.12% ± 0.01% change in the c lattice parameters have been achieved. …”

A bright cadmium-free, hybrid organic/quantum dot white light-emitting diode by Yang, Xuyong, Divayana, Yoga, Zhao, Dewei, Leck, Kheng Swee, Lu, Fen, Tan, Swee Tiam, Abiyasa, Agus Putu, Zhao, Yongbiao, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Sun, Xiaowei

“…A maximum brightness close to 700 cd/m2 together with a relatively low turn-on voltage of 4.5 V has been achieved. With the design of a loosely packed QD layer resulting in the direct contact of poly[N,N′-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine] (poly-TPD) and 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) in the device, a ternary complementary white QD-LED consisting of blue component (poly-TPD), green component (QDs), and red component (exciplex formed at the interface between poly-TPD and TPBi) has been demonstrated. …”

Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”
