Drying kinetics of pepper in swirling fluidized bed dryer by Haron, Nazrul Syaif

“…The drying curves plotted indicate that the constant rate drying period was insignificant and thus drying of pepper in SFBD can be assumed to be in falling-rate period for all bed loadings and drying temperatures. A total of six thin-layer models were chosen from the literature to model the drying kinetics of pepper and it was found that Logarithmic model provided the best fit for the present drying condition with coefficient of determination, R² = 0.9990807, root mean square error, RMSE = 0.0105431, residuals = 0.116631 and reduce chi-square, χ ² = 0.00111156. …”

Price Competition, Efficiency and Riskiness in Investment Banking by Radić, Nemanja, Fiordelisi, Franco, Girardone, Claudia

“…Our paper examines the intertemporal relationships between price competition, cost efficiency and riskiness for a sample of investment banks inten large developed countries over 2000-2008.We show that price competition is rather limited in investment banking worldwide thus implying the existence of colluding oligopolies.We also find that although investment banks’ stability was granted by relatively low competitive pressures, banks appeared prone to take more risk thus giving some support to the competition-stability view for the investment banking industry.…”

Labour reallocation and total factor productivity growth in China by You, Kefei, Sarantis, Nicholas

“…The empirical evidence rejects VES and CES and supports the Cobb Douglas production function. We find that rural transformation has made a highly significant contribution to total factor productivity and output growth in China irrespective of the production function and capital series employed. …”
