Temporal Discounting of Losses
… measure discounting, how and why discounting of losses differs from discounting of gains, and how to apply research on discounting to public policy. Paper 1 compares two common methods of measuring discounting - titration and matching - with a dynamic "multiple staircase" method adapted from …

Understanding and predicting urban propagation losses
… negative effects of spreading and propagation losses. In a communication link, or radio wave transmission, several sources of degradation are mathematically accounted for, to include losses due to materials used, equipment setup, environmental factors, and interference associated with the …

Forecasting earthquake losses in port systems
… results in significant business interruption losses for port stakeholders. Current risk management practices only focus on the effect of seismic hazards on individual port structures. However, damage and downtime of these structures has a significant impact on the overall port system's ship …

Flow losses in supersonic compressor cascades
Loss models used in compression system performance prediction codes are often developed from the study of two-dimensional cascades. The physical mechanisms that affect the flow in supersonic compressor cascades have been reviewed, including the changes in shock geometry that will occur with back …

Accounting conservatism, earnings components and accounting losses
… in performance measures (reflecting economic losses) that contain more accruals mean-revert more and earnings-increasing changes (reflecting economic gains) are persistent. Working capital accruals and special items are particularly strongly mean-reverting when they are earnings-decreasing. …

Valence losses at interfaces in aluminium alloys
The aim of this project was to investigate EELS from two-layer systems and relate the results to the existing theory. Two systems were investigated, magnesium silicide platelets within an aluminium matrix and silicon precipitates within an aluminium matrix. Both systems were prepared through …

Initial losses, corporate governance and earnings management
This thesis examines the relationship between initial loss events and the corporate governance and earnings management behaviour of these firms. This is done using four years of corporate governance information spanning the report of an initial loss for companies listed on the UK Stock Exchange. An …
