Do investors over-anticipate? : Evidence from their reactions to gain and loss contingencies by Xu, Tu

“…In this thesis, I conducted a between-participants experiment to examine how investors anticipate firms’ uncertain future outcomes in response to contingency disclosures. I find that, inconsistent with expected utility theory but consistent with findings from psychology, investors raise a firm’s valuation in response to a gain contingency as if the gain contingency has realized its best possible outcome. …”

Topological phase transition induced by gain and loss in a photonic Chern insulator by Teo, Hau Tian, Xue, Haoran, Zhang, Baile

“…We present a design of a non-Hermitian photonic Chern insulator whose band topology can be tuned via gain and loss. It is found that, by continuously varying the gain and loss parameter, a topological phase transition can take place in the photonic crystal, accompanied by the closing and reopening of a Dirac cone. …”

Secrecy gain of Gaussian wiretap codes from 2- and 3-modular lattices by Lin, Fuchun, Oggier, Frederique

“…Lattice coding over a Gaussian wiretap channel is considered with respect to a lattice invariant called the secrecy gain, which was introduced in [1] to characterize the confusion that a chosen lattice can cause at the eavesdropper: the higher the secrecy gain of the lattice, the more confusion. …”

Energy gain of wetted-foam implosions with auxiliary heating for inertial fusion studies by Paddock, RW, Li, TS, Kim, E, Lee, JJ, Martin, H, Ruskov, RT, Hughes, S, Rose, SJ, Murphy, CD, Scott, RHH, Bingham, R, Garbett, W, Elisseev, VV, Haines, BM, Zlystra, AB, Campbell, EM, Thomas, CA, Goffrey, T, Arber, TD, Aboushelbaya, R, Von der Leyen, MW, Wang, RHW, James, AA, Ouatu, I, Timmis, R, Howard, S, Atonga, E, Norreys, PA

“…Firstly, conventional gain models are adapted to produce gain curves for fixed convergence ratios, which are shown to well-describe previously simulated results. …”

Preliminary study on laser texturing of glass: Techniques, process parameters, and initial findings by Rai, Rahool, Mahadzir, Ishak, Aiman, Mohd Halil, Quazi, Moinuddin Mohammed

“…Various laser parameters such as power, scanning speed, and repetition rate were studied for trial to understand their impact on surface morphology and functionality. Initial findings reveal that laser texturing can effectively improve glass surface properties, creating superhydrophobic surfaces while maintaining optimal transparency. …”

Using magnetic resonance relaxometry to evaluate the safety and quality of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived spinal cord progenitor cells by Tan, Jerome, Chen, Jiahui, Roxby, Daniel, Chooi, Wai H., Nguyen, Tan D., Ng, Shi Y., Han, Jongyoon, Chew, Sing Y.

“…Background The emergence of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offers a promising approach for replacing damaged neurons and glial cells, particularly in spinal cord injuries (SCI). Despite its merits, iPSC differentiation into spinal cord progenitor cells (SCPCs) is variable, necessitating reliable assessment of differentiation and validation of cell quality and safety. …”
