Going Public, Selling Stock, And Buying Liquidity, Richard A. Booth

Working Paper Series

It is a well known anomaly of corporation finance that initial public offerings (IPOs) tend to be underpriced. That is, it appears that shares tend to be offered at a price that is below what the market would bear. Scholars have offered several explanations, most of which focus on various sorts of underwriter opportunism (and insider acquiescence therein). But it is difficult to believe that competition among underwriters does not force offerings to be made at the highest possible price, particularly in view of the numerous alternatives to traditional underwriting methods that have arisen in recent years. The persistence of …

Effects Of Dependency Injection On Maintainability, Ekaterina Razina, David S. Janzen

Computer Science and Software Engineering

Software maintenance consumes around 70% of the software life cycle. Improving software maintainability could save software developers significant time and money. This paper examines whether the pattern of dependency injection significantly reduces dependencies of modules in a piece of software, therefore making the software more maintainable. This hypothesis is tested with 20 sets of open source projects from sourceforge.net, where each set contains one project that uses the pattern of dependency injection and one similar project that does not use the pattern. The extent of the dependency injection use in each project is measured by a new Number of DIs …

A Set Of Phosphatase-Inert “Molecular Rulers” To Probe For Bivalent Mannose 6-Phosphate Ligand-Receptor Interactions, Xiang Fei, Christopher M. Connelly, Richard G. Macdonald, David B. Berkowitz

David Berkowitz Publications

A set of bivalent mannose 6-phosphonate “molecular rulers” has been synthesized to examine ligand binding to the M6P/IGF2R. The set is estimated to span a P-P distance range of 16-26 Å (MMFF energy minimization on the hydrated phosphonates). Key synthetic transformations include sugar triflate displacement for phosphonate installation and Grubbs I cross-metathesis to achieve bivalency. Relative binding affinities were tested by radioligand displacement assays versus PMP-BSA (pentamannose phosphate-bovine serum albumin). These compounds exhibit slightly higher binding affinities for the receptor (IC₅₀’s = 3.7-5 &#;M) than the parent, monomeric mannose 6-phosphonate ligand and M6P itself (IC₅₀ = 11.5 …

Manuscript Finding Aids

The notebooks from Dr. Knobil's research laboratories comprise the largest series (X). General Files, Series IV, contains material including correspondence, lectures and speeches from the early 1980s to 2000. It was retained in the alphabetical order it was received. Material in Series II was labeled Harvard and deals primarily with Dr. Knobil's tenure at Harvard University in the 1950s. Material about his Deanship of the University of Texas Medical School at Houston can be found in Series III and IV. See more at MS 096.

An Architectural Approach To Improving The Availability Of Parity-Based Raid Systems, Lei Tian, Hong Jiang, Dan Feng, Qin Xin, Sai Huang

School of Computing: Technical Reports

In this paper, we propose an architectural approach, Supplementary Partial Parity (SPP), to addressing the availability issue of parity encoded RAID systems. SPP exploits free storage space and idle time to generate and update a set of partial parity units that cover a subset of disks (or data stripe units) during failure-free and idle/lightly-loaded periods, thus supplementing the existing full parity units for improved availability. By applying the exclusive OR operations appropriately among partial parity, full parity and data units, SPP can reconstruct the data on the failed disks with a fraction of the original overhead that is proportional to …

Livestock Production System Management Responses To Thermal Challenges, J. A. Nienabar, G. L. Hahn

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The adaptive capabilities of animals and livestock production systems have been emphasized in this report. Biometeorology has a key role in rational management to meet the challenges of thermal environments. While the focus is primarily on cattle in warm or hot climates, the importance of dynamic animal responses to environmental challenges applies to all species and climates. Methods used to mitigate environmental challenges focus on heat loss/heat production balance. Under cold stress, reduction of heat loss is the key. Under heat stress, reduction of heat load or increasing heat loss are the primary management tools, although heat-tolerant animals are also …

Enhancement-Mode Gaas Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor High-Electron-Mobility Transistors With Atomic Layer Deposited Al2o3 As Gate Dielectric, H C. Lin, T Yang, Hasan Sharifi, S K. Kim, Y Xuan, T Shen, Saeed Mohammadi, P. D. Ye

Birck and NCN Publications

Enhancement-mode GaAs metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) with ex situ atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 as gate dielectrics are studied. Maximum drain currents of 211 and 263 mA/mm are obtained for 1 mu m gate-length Al2O3 MOS-HEMTs with 3 and 6 nm thick gate oxide, respectively. C-V characteristic shows negligible hysteresis and frequency dispersion. The gate leakage current density of the MOS-HEMTs is 3-5 orders of magnitude lower than the conventional HEMTs under similar bias conditions. The drain current on-off ratio of MOS-HEMTs is similar to 3x10(3) with a subthreshold swing of 90 mV/decade. A maximum cutoff frequency (f(T)) of 27.3 GHz and maximum …

Microfluidic Electro-Osmotic Flow Pumps, John Mason Edwards

Theses and Dissertations

The need for miniaturized, portable devices to separate and detect unknown compounds has greatly multiplied, leading to an increased interest in microfluidics. Total integration of the detector and pump are necessary to decrease the overall size of the microfluidic device. Using previously developed thin film technologies, an electroosmotic flow (EOF) pump was incorporated in a microfluidic liquid chromatography device. An EOF pump was chosen because of its simple design and small size. EOF pumps fabricated on silicon and glass substrates were evaluated. The experimental flow rates were 0.19-2.30 microliters/minute for 40-400 V. The theoretical pump efficiency was calculated along with …
