Influence of different chemicals on the accuracy of the protein quantification assays by Tan, Hui Ying.

“…Therefore, in this project, the chemicals involved in the prior processes such as Sodium Sulfide (Na2S), 2-Mercaptoethanol (2-ME), Urea and Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) are experimented with the 2 different Protein Quantification Assays, Pierce 660nm (P660nm) and Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA), to find out the maximum amount or concentration of the chemicals that one can use in the processes. …”

The effect of China's weak institutional environment on the quality of Big 4 audits by Ke, Bin, Lennox, Clive S., Xin, Qingquan

“…This study examines whether China's weak institutional environment results in lower-quality audits by the Big 4 firms. We find that the Big 4 assign their less experienced partners to companies that are listed only in China compared with clients cross-listed in Hong Kong. …”

Exogenous shocks and exchange rate regimes by Chia, Wai-Mun, Cheng, Tianyin, Li, Mengling

“…From both the theoretical model and empirical evidence, we find that (i) output responses to terms-of-trade and foreign interest rate shocks are smoother in floats, (ii) price responses to terms-of-trade shocks are smoother in floats than in pegs, while its responses to foreign interest shocks are more volatile in floats than in pegs, and (iii) the effects of terms-of-trade and foreign interest shocks are more prolonged under floats.…”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. …”

Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 by Bristow, M, Knafo, W, Reiss, P, Meier, W, Canfield, PC, Blundell, SJ, Coldea, AI

“…The upper critical fields are extremely large, reaching values close to ∼3 Tc at the lowest temperature, and the anisotropy decreases dramatically with temperature, leading to essentially isotropic superconductivity at 4.2K. We find that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field can be well described by a two-band model in the clean limit with band-coupling parameters favoring intraband over interband interactions. …”

Bank resolution mechanisms revisited: towards a new era of restructuring by Hryckiewicz, A, Kryg, N, Tsomocos, DP

“…We use a unique granular bank-level dataset from 22 advanced economies covering the 1992–2017 period. We find that bank recapitalization without debt resolution measures does not resolve bank distress. …”
