Accounting Information: Which Information Attracts Investors Attention First?

This study extends Obaidat (2016) and Mohan & John (2011) studies by investigating the accounting information that is considered more value relevant for individual investors in Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), emphasizing earning and cash flows information. In addition, the study examined if investors have the time and abilities to assess the accounting information. Finally, this study measured the degree of consensus among different types of investors concerning the issues investigated. The results indicated that investors perceive all accounting information to be value relevant and considered it to be complementary to each other, where the most value relevant information was the financial risk followed by previous earning, liquidity, expected earning, and market stock price. The results indicated that the value relevance of earning information is superior to the value relevance of cash flow information. The study documented that investors have the time and abilities to assess the value relevance of accounting information.

Quantum thermodynamics of many-body driven systems

The project aims as developing novel thermodynamic concepts to understand quantum many-body systems when they are driven out of thermal equilibrium via the coupling to external reservoirs. In particular, we will clarify the specific resources, for thermodynamic protocols, contained in many-body quantum superpositions, which could be stabilized in these systems via the interplay of intrinsic dynamics, external driving and dissipation. Our special focus will be on exciton-polaritons systems, which realize ""quantum fluids of light"" due to the strong coupling of light to electronic excitations confined in semi-conducting micro-cavity. Considering lattices of coupled such microcavities -- realizing the analog of electronic band structures, with hybrid light-matter quasi-particles playing the role of electrons in ordinary metals and insulators -- we shall develop a novel theoretical approach to capture quantum-correlation effects in these quantum fluids. As a specific situation of fundamental interest, which can be realized in the aforementioned exciton-polariton lattices, we will investigate a quantum phase transition where dissipation plays a key role, stabilizing novel states of quantum matter with analogs neither in classical systems out of equilibrium, nor in quantum systems at thermal equilibrium. On the conceptual side, we will extend existing notions of quantum thermodynamics to a many-body realm. On the technical side, we shall develop a new semi-classical theory to describe quantum entanglement in these driven-dissipative quantum systems. This fundamental research, done in collaboration with theoreticians at the forefront of research in quantum thermodynamics, and world-class experimental groups for polaritonics, will open new perspectives for the application of driven-dissipative quantum many-body systems in quantum technologies.
Are Multiphase Competition and Order by Disorder the Keys to UnderstandingYb2Ti2O7?

If magnetic frustration is most commonly known for undermining long-range order, as famously illustrated by spin liquids, the ability of matter to develop new collective mechanisms in order to fight frustration is no less fascinating, providing an avenue for the exploration and discovery of unconventional properties of matter. Here we study an ideal minimal model of such mechanisms which, incidentally, pertains to the perplexing quantum spin ice candidate Yb2Ti2O7. Specifically, we explain how thermal and quantum fluctuations, optimized by order-by-disorder selection, conspire to expand the stability region of an accidentally degenerate continuous symmetry U(1) manifold against the classical splayed ferromagnetic ground state that is displayed by the sister compound Yb2Sn2O7. The resulting competition gives rise to multiple phase transitions, in striking similitude with recent experiments on Yb2Ti2O7 [Lhotel et al., Phys. Rev. B 89 224419 (2014)]. Considering the effective Hamiltonian determined for Yb2Ti2O7, we provide, by combining a gamut of numerical techniques, compelling evidence that such multiphase competition is the long-sought missing key to understanding the intrinsic properties of this material. As a corollary, our work offers a pertinent illustration of the influence of chemical pressure in rare-earth pyrochlores.
IsNL? a discriminative approach to detect natural language like queries for conversational understanding

While data-driven methods for spoken language understanding (SLU) provide state of the art performances and reduce maintenance and model adaptation costs compared to handcrafted parsers, the collection and annotation of domain-specific natural language utterances for training remains a time-consuming task. A recent line of research has focused on enriching the training data with in-domain utterances by mining search engine query logs to improve the SLU tasks. However genre mismatch is a big obstacle as search queries are typically keywords. In this paper, we present an efficient discriminative binary classification method that filters large collection of online web search queries only to select the natural language like queries. The training data used to build this classifier is mined from search query click logs, represented as a bipartite graph. Starting from queries which contain natural language salient phrases, random graph walk algorithms are employed to mine corresponding keyword queries. Then an active learning method is employed for quickly improving on top of this automatically mined data. The results show that our method is robust to noise in search queries by improving over a baseline model previously used for SLU data collection. We also show the effectiveness of detected natural language like queries in extrinsic evaluations on domain detection and slot filling tasks.
FLUIDIC ASSEMBLY

The invention relates to a fluidic assembly comprising a fluidic component, the fluidic component comprising a flow chamber through which a fluid can flow, said flow of fluid entering the flow chamber through an inlet of the flow chamber and leaving the flow chamber through an outlet of the flow chamber. The fluidic assembly comprises at least one means for oscillating the flow of fluid, the oscillation occurring in an oscillation plane. The fluidic assembly is characterised by a device for diverting the oscillating flow of fluid flowing out of the outlet of the fluidic component, the diverting of the flow being time-variable.
Test-wrapper optimisation for embedded cores in through-silicon via-based three-dimensional system on chips

System-on-chip (SOC) designs comprised of a number of embedded cores are widespread in today's integrated circuits. Embedded core-based design is likely to be equally popular for three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), the manufacture of which has become feasible in recent years. 3D integration offers a number of advantages over traditional 2D technologies, such as the reduction in the average interconnect length, higher performance, lower interconnect power consumption and smaller IC footprint. Despite recent advances in 3D fabrication and design methods, no attempt has been made thus far to design a 1500-style test wrapper for an embedded core that spans multiple layers in a 3D SOC. This study addresses wrapper optimisation in 3D ICs based on through-silicon vias (TSVs) for vertical interconnects. The authors objective is to minimise the scan-test time for a core under constraints on the total number of TSVs available for testing. The authors present an optimal solution based on an integer linear programming model as well as two polynomial-time heuristic solutions. Simulation results are presented for embedded cores from the ITC 2002 SOC test benchmarks.
Effectiveness analysis of de-embedding method for typical TSV pairs in a silicon interposer

In this paper, a de-embedding method to extract the performance of a Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) pair is proposed, using a set of specially designed test patterns to remove the pads and connection trace. Considering in real implementations, wafer probe measurements are required to access the test structures, and any errors in the probe calibration affect the test pattern measurements, a micro-probe model is built in with the test. Short-Open-Load (SOL) calibration method is used with the simulation results to calibrate or correct to the tips of the micro-probe used in all test patterns. Calibrated responses for the test patterns consisting of probing pads, traces and TSV pair, thus are used with previously proposed de-embedding algorithm to characterize the TSV pair. The effectiveness and the robustness of the de-embedding method against probe calibration errors are tested with the full wave simulation results and analytical calculations.
Interactions between Buprenorphine and Antiretrovirals: Nucleos(t)ide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) Didanosine, Lamivudine, and Tenofovir

To improve outcomes among injection drug users with HIV and/or chronic hepatitis B, it is important to identify drug interactions between antiretroviral and opiate therapies. We report the results of a study designed to examine the interaction between buprenorphine and the nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) didanosine (ddI), lamivudine (3TC), and tenofovir (TDF). Opioid-dependent, buprenorphine/naloxone-maintained, HIV-negative volunteers (n = 27) participated in two 24-hour sessions to determine (1) pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine alone and (2) pharmacokinetics of both buprenorphine and either ddI, 3TC, or TDF. Among buprenorphine/naloxone-maintained study participants, no significant changes in buprenorphine pharmacokinetics were observed following ddI, 3TC, or TDF administration. Buprenorphine had no significant effect on NRTI concentrations. Concomitant use of buprenorphine with ddI, 3TC, or TDF results in neither a significant pharmacokinetic nor pharmacodynamic interaction.
Microorganisms in warming arctic environments

The Arctic plays a key role in the Earth’s climate system and is an area of growing strategic importance for European policy. In this ETN, we will train the next generation of Arctic microbiology and biogeochemistry experts who, through their unique understanding of the Arctic environment and the factors that impact ecosystem and organism response to the warming Arctic, will be able to respond to the need for leadership from public, policy and commercial interests. The training and research programme of MicroArctic is made up of seven interlinked Work Packages (WP). WP1 to WP4 are research work packages at the cutting edge of Arctic microbiology and biogeochemistry and these will be supported by three overarching WPs (WP5-7) associated with the management, training and dissemination of results. WP1 will deliver information about the role of external inputs (e.g., atmospheric) of nutrients and microorganism that drive biogeochemical processes in relation to annual variation in Arctic microbial activity and biogeochemical processes. WP2 will explore ecosystem response on time scales of 100s of years to these inputs using a chrnosequence approach in the already changing Arctic. The effect of time and season and the warming of the Arctic on ecosystem functioning and natural resources will be quantified through geochemical analyses and next generation multi-omics approaches. Complementing WP1 and WP2, WP3 will focus on organism response and adaptation using a range of biochemical, molecular, experimental and culturing approaches. WP4 will address specific applied issues such as colonisation by pathogenic organisms and biotechnological exploitation of Arctic ecosystems. MicroArctic will bring together interdisciplinary experts from both the academic and non-academic sectors across Europe into a network of 20 Institutions across 11 countries.
The History and International Relations of the Gulf Region Reconsidered

The Arab Gulf States: Beyond Oil and Islam. By Sean Foley . Boulder: Lynne Reinner, 2010. 315 pp., $26.50 paperback (ISBN-13: 978-1-58826-706-1).

The International Relations of the Persian Gulf. By F. Gregory Gause III . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010. 258 pp., $27.00 paperback (ISBN-13: 978-0-521-13730-0).

The Arab Gulf region is of great geopolitical importance owing to its oil and natural gas deposits. Ironically, the history and international relations of the region had, for several reasons, been quite neglected by the academic arena for decades (see, e.g., Russell 2010:653). First and foremost, where political studies are concerned, this neglect had been linked with the development of the discipline itself and its debate in and toward non-Western states and societies specifically (see, e.g., Anderson 1987:1; Green 1993:517–518). Second, up until the late 1980s, studies on the Gulf region had been closely associated either with an examination of the Islamist role or with the Arab–Israeli conflict. Third, many orientalists and policy makers were more interested in examining the region to pursue their own national interests rather than understanding the special regional conditions.

With the rise of new generations with the relevant academic expertise since the beginning of the 1990s, there have been new types of studies into the regional dynamics of the Gulf area (Nonneman 2001). The two reviewed books make use of this innovative approach.

The Arab Gulf States is an ambitious and original work of analysis and insight written by Sean Foley, an assistant professor of history at the University of Tennessee. The book is enhanced by the author's educational background in history. Traditionally, many scholars analyzing the region have employed the normative rentier framework, or the so-called Islamist approach. The book is ambitious because it goes beyond these already exhausted and limited approaches. Foley points out that the information age and the emergence of a younger, educated elite are factors that have forced substantial developments in the GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) and have resulted in political and economic reforms. Such factors are worth analysis on …

This will yield in regional, national and international socio-economic benefits and strengthened human resources.
Multifocal VEP and OCT findings in patients with primary open angle glaucoma: A cross-sectional study

To evaluate objectively the anatomical and functional changes of optic nerve in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) by the joint use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEP).29 eyes with open angle glaucoma and visual field defects, as well as 20 eyes of 10 age-matched control normal subjects were tested. All participants underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. Moreover, Humphrey visual field test, OCT examination and recording of mfVEP were performed. Amplitude and implicit time of mfVEP, as well as RNFL thickness were measured. Differences in density components of mfVEP and in RNFL thickness among POAG eyes and control eyes were examined using Student's t-test.In glaucomatous eyes the mean Retinal Response Density (RRD) was lower than normal in ring 1, 2 and 3 of mfVEP (p < 0.0001). Specifically the mean amplitude of mfVEP in POAG eyes was estimated at 34.2 ± 17.6 nV/deg2, 6.9 ± 4.8 nV/deg2 and 2.6 ± 1.6 nV/deg2 in rings 1, 2 and 3 respectively. In contrast the mean implicit time was similar to control eyes. In addition, the mean RNFL thickness in POAG eyes was estimated at 76.8 ± 26.6 μm in the superior area, 52.1 ± 16.3 μm in the temporal area, 75.9 ± 32.5 μm in the inferior area and 58.6 ± 19.4 μm in the nasal area. There was a statistically significant difference in RNFL thickness in all peripapillary areas (p < 0.0001) between POAG eyes and controls, with superior and inferior area to present the highest decrease.Our study shows that, although Standard Automatic Perimetry is the gold standard to evaluate glaucomatous neuropathy, the joint use of mfVEP and OCT could be useful in better monitoring glaucoma progression.
Anna Kingsford

First published in 1896, this two-volume biography details the life of physician and spiritualist Anna Kingsford (1846–1888). Kingsford, one of the first women to obtain a degree in medicine, began her literary career at the age of thirteen and in her lifetime was known for campaigning against vivisection, involvement in the suffragette movement, and promotion of vegetarianism, as well as her spiritualist exploits. This biography was written by her friend and colleague, the spiritualist Edward Maitland (1824–97), who served as Kingsford's protector while she studied in Paris. At the time of its publication, the work was not well received; the main criticism directed towards the book was that it focused on Maitland's psychic experiences rather than on Kingsford herself. Volume 2 details the later part of Kingsford's life, including extensive travel, the foundation of the Theosophical and Hermetic societies, her eventual decline in health and her death.
Fasciocutaneous Flaps for Open Fractures of the Tibia

The soft tissue envelope is crucial for proper healing in open tibia fractures. Fasciocutaneous flaps are effective in providing soft tissue coverage in open fractures with severe bone exposure, allowing for healing of the fracture and prevention of infection. Optimal flap selection and timing for definitive soft tissue coverage are controversial. With recent technological advances and surgical technique refinements, the options for flap selection have increased, with greater reliability of complex limb reconstruction procedures. Depending on the injury needs and patient characteristics, different levels of flap complexity can be used to achieve favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes. It is important to keep updated on the newly available technologies and to be aware of the existing surgical options to ensure the best patient care.
Fluid Pocket Generation in Response to Heterogeneous Reactivity of a Rock Fracture Under Hydrothermal Conditions

Fractures are the location of various water–rock interactions within the Earth's crust; however, the impact of the chemical heterogeneity of fractures on hydraulic properties is poorly understood. We conducted flow-through experiments on the dissolution of granite with a tensile fracture at 350°C and fluid pressure of 20 MPa with confining pressure of 40 MPa. The aperture structures were evaluated by X-ray computed tomography (CT) before and after the experiments. Under the experimental conditions, quartz grains dissolve rapidly to produce grain-scale pockets on the fracture surface; whereas altered feldspar grains act as asperities to sustain the open cavities. The fracture contained gouge with large surface area. The feedback between fluid flow and the rapid dissolution of gouge material produced large fluid pockets, whereas permeability did not always increase significantly. Such intense hydrological–chemical interactions could strongly influence the porosity-permeability relationship of fractured reservoirs in the crust.
