Information And Normal Backwardation As Determinants Of Trading Performance: Evidence From The North-Sea Oil Forward Market, Gordon M. Phillips, Robert J. Weiner Jan 1993

Information And Normal Backwardation As Determinants Of Trading Performance: Evidence From The North-Sea Oil Forward Market, Gordon M. Phillips, Robert J. Weiner

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

In this paper we take advantage of a unique micro-database on forward trading in the international petroleum market, with information on the buyer and seller in each transaction. We utilize transaction-specific data to test directly predictions from the theory of normal backwardation vs. information-based predictions of who profits in these markets. We find that no trader groups make significan profits on interday measures. Within the day, however, groups likely to have superior information do make significant profits. The results are not supportive of normal backwardation, but are consistent with the time pattern of information dissemination in this market--deals made during …

This study develops and tests the reliability of an instrument for measuring managers' uncertainty perceptions. Data analyses using an international sample provide insights into the relative importance of country and industry factors for explaining managers' perceptions of different environmental uncertainties.


The Effect Of Trade Induced Displacement On Unemployment And Wages, Jon D. Haveman Jan 1993

The Effect Of Trade Induced Displacement On Unemployment And Wages, Jon D. Haveman

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This study provides an investigation into the differences in the postdisplacement labor market experiences of workers separated from declining traded, expanding traded and nontraded industries. The results presented provide the beginnings of a bridge across the gap between what is known and what is perceived regarding the allocative efficiency effects of trade-related labor displacements. The strategy of the paper is to relate the postdisplacement experience of individuals to changes in the competitive position of the industry from which the individual was displaced. The investigative lens is primarily focused on the impact of changing industry competitiveness on the duration of unemployment …

Interposed Abdominal Compression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Are We Missing The Mark In Clinical Trials?, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1993

Interposed Abdominal Compression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Are We Missing The Mark In Clinical Trials?, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Straightforward considerations of abdominal anatomy in human beings set tight constraints on the theoretically optimal technique for abdominal compressions during interposed abdominal compression (IAC)-CPR. The location and extent of the abdominal aorta lead naturally to the recommendation that IAC be applied at a level corresponding to the lower two thirds of the sterno-umbilical line. The force vector required to achieve contact compression of the abdominal aorta is inclined in the transverse plane at an angle of 11 degrees from the vertical toward the left. Such slightly angled compression subjects the abdominal aorta to maximally flattening; while the inferior vena cava …


Development Of A Rapidly Computable Descriptor Of Prostate Tissue Temperature During Transurethral Conductive Heat Therapy For Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, U H. Patel, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1993

Development Of A Rapidly Computable Descriptor Of Prostate Tissue Temperature During Transurethral Conductive Heat Therapy For Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, U H. Patel, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in older men in which the mass of tissue in the prostate gland gradually increases over the course of many years, ultimately leading to urinary outflow obstruction. Current treatment of this condition is to surgically remove the obstructing tissue. One novel alternative therapy being studied is transurethral thermocoagulation of excessive prostatic mass. In this approach, a heat emitting catheter is placed in the prostatic urethra, and the intraprostatic segment of the catheter is heated to temperatures above 60 oC for one hour. Two dimensional cylindrical coordinate computer simulations of this treatment modality were …


Would You Run It Here ... Or There? (Ahs: Automatic Heterogeneous Supercomputing), H. G. Dietz, W. E. Cohen, B. K. Grant Jan 1993

Would You Run It Here ... Or There? (Ahs: Automatic Heterogeneous Supercomputing), H. G. Dietz, W. E. Cohen, B. K. Grant

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Parallel programs often exhibit strong preferences for different system structures, and machines with the ideal structures may all be available within a single heterogeneous network. There is also the complication that, although a particular application might execute fastest when running by itself on one system, the best turnaround time might result from running the program on a diffeient system that is less heavily loaded at the time the job is submitted. In this paper, we suggest that application programmers should be able to write their code using whatever programming model, control or data parallel, they feel is most appropriate - …


A Spectral Flux Method For Solving The Boltzmann Equation, Muhammad A. Alam, Mark A. Stettler, Mark S. Lundstrom Jan 1993

A Spectral Flux Method For Solving The Boltzmann Equation, Muhammad A. Alam, Mark A. Stettler, Mark S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A spectral method for solving the Boltzmann equation by the scattering matrix approach is presented, The algorithm discussed can be used to simulate both bulk and device properties with arbitrary field profiles. Although the primary goal is to reduce the data storage problem of the scattering matrix approach, many of the concepts and mathematical properties developed may be useful for other traditional spectral methods as well.


Minority-Carrier Mobility Enhancement In P+ Ingaas Lattice Matched To Inp, E. S. Harmon, Michael L. Lovejoy, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom, D. Ritter, R. A. Hamm Jan 1993

Minority-Carrier Mobility Enhancement In P+ Ingaas Lattice Matched To Inp, E. S. Harmon, Michael L. Lovejoy, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom, D. Ritter, R. A. Hamm

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Minority electron mobilities in pf-In0.ssGac4, As have been measured with the zero field time-of-flight technique. The room-temperature (297 K) minority electron mobilities for p+-In,, 53Gac47A~ doped 0.9 and 3.1 x 10” cmm3 are found to be 2900 and 3300 cm* V-’ s-l, respectively. These are the first measurements to demonstrate enhancement in minority-carrier mobility as doping is increased for heavily doped Ines3Gae.4+s. This enhancement in mobility as doping is increased is similar to that observed in p+-GaAs, which has been attributed to reductions in plasmon and carrier-carrier scattering between minority electrons and majority holes.

Concentration‐Dependent Optical‐Absorption Coefficient In N‐Type Gaas, Gregory Benedict Lush, H. F. Macmillan, S. Asher, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The doping-dependent, near-band-edge optical-absorption coefficient CY(h v) was deduced from optical transmission measurements in n-type GaAs thin films. The selenium-doped films were grown by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition and do ed to produce room-temperature electron concentrations from 1.3 x 10” to 3.8X 1018 cm- P . The transmission measurements covered photon energies between 1.35 and 1.7 eV and were performed on double heterostructures with the substrate removed by selective etching. The results show good qualitative agreement with previous studies and good quantitative agreement, except for the heavily doped samples. For na=3.8 X 10” cme3, a( 1.42 eV> is approximately four times …

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The variation of minority electron mobility with doping density in p+-GaAs has been measured with the zero-field time-of-flight technique. The results from a series of nine GaAs films doped between 1 X lOI and 8 X 10” cmm3 show the mobility decreasing from 1950 cm2 V-’ s-l at 1 X 10” cmm3 to 1370 cm2 V-l s-l at 9X 10” cmB3. For the doping range 9 x 1018-8x 1019 cme3, the decreasing trend in mobility is reversed. The measured mobility of 3710 cm2 V-’ s-l at 8 X 10” cmp3 is about three times higher than the measured value at …
