Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Chapter 1 studies the impact of credit rating changes on corporate bond returns. This study uses a large dataset of corporate bond transactions from the TRACE database for the US corporate bond market, combined with credit rating changes from Fitch, Moody's and Standard and Poor's (S&P), to analyse over 22,000 bonds, coupled with approximately 28,400 rating events over nearly six years. …”

Development of the bond markets in Singapore and Malaysia. by Chan, Wei Lun.

“…The study also explores avenues for increasing the demand for corporate bonds such as increasing provident fund investments in bonds; changes to the commission rate structure for bond trading, and reduction or abolition of tax for interest received and stamp duty transferances. …”

Door to door service by shipping lines : theory and practice by Ong, Xue Ling.

“…The overall mean for each of the door-to-door service attributes were evaluated and comparison between the responses of the shippers and shipping lines were made. The result revealed that the most important service attributes for the shippers was “accurate documentation”, followed by “low damage or pilferage performance” and “low freight rate”. …”

On-line spectroscopic study of brominated flame retardant extraction in supercritical CO₂ by Xia, Dong, Maurice, Ange, Leybros, Antoine, Lee, Jong-Min, Grandjean, Agnes, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P.

“…Mathematical models derived from irreversible desorption and Fick's diffusion laws fitted well with the observed extraction kinetics of BFRs, thus enabling us to identify the rate-determining step. The high solubilization rate coefficients that we measured for BFRs revealed that the dynamic extraction process in up-scaling design could compensate for the low solubility with flowing supercritical CO2.…”
