Sources of value gains in minority equity investments by private equity funds : evidence from block share acquisitions by Chen, Guojun, Kang, Jun-Koo, Kim, Jin-Mo, Na, Hyun Seung

“…Using block share acquisitions made by private equity (PE) funds, we examine the sources of value gains in PE minority equity investments. We find that compared with non-PE acquirers, PE acquirers are more likely to place representatives with finance experience or those with experience in the target's industry on the target's board when the need for target oversight and/or advice is higher. …”

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”
