Shorting opaque signals
… arbitrage strategies in stocks with more opaque earnings. There are also higher strategy returns in stocks with opaque earnings. Together, these results suggest that quantitative investors exploit their sophistication by trading when the firm's earnings make it more costly for other market …

Beliefs in an Opaque Brain
… self-knowledge is an interesting account of the opaqueness of our own minds that draws upon a wide range of theories from cognitive science and philosophy. In the present paper, I argue that the theory's assumptions support the conclusion that the available perceptual evidence massively …

Erays: Reverse engineering ethereums opaque smart contracts
… that aid in this process. Such contracts remain opaque to auditors. To address this, we present Erays, a reverse engineering tool for smart contracts without the need for source code. Erays takes in smart contract from the Ethereum blockchain and produces high-level pseudocode suitable for manual …

Global estimation of precipitation using opaque microwave bands
This thesis describes the use of opaque microwave bands for global estimation of precipitation rate. An algorithm was developed for estimating instantaneous precipitation rate for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) on the NOAA-15, NOAA-16, and NOAA-17 satellites, and the Advanced Microwave …

Brillouin scattering from opaque semiconducting alloys and thin films
… against the strong elastic background present in opaque materials, a tandem multipass Fabry-Perot system was designed and constructed, providing high resolution and contrast. Scattering from both surface and bulk acoustic waves were used to derive information on the elastic and dielectric …

Hyperparameter Optimization of Opaque Models for Autonomous Vehicle Algorithms
… the process of hyperparameter selection for any opaque model to enable fully automated learning. We surveyed different hyperparameter optimization algorithms, selected the most effi- cient ones in different scenarios, and developed a framework that can be easily utilized by different users. We …

Measurements of Surface Displacements During Stress Wave Propagation in Opaque Solids Using Pulsed Laser Speckle Photography
… to measure in-plane surface displacements in opaque solids has been developed. The system consists of combining a pulsed ruby laser source and an optical speckle photography recording scheme. The set-up is capable of measuring surface displacements due to stress waves and propagating cracks in …

Genetic Variability, Correlations and Selection Response for Kernel Traits in Two Modified Endosperm Opaque-2 Maize Populations
… and the relationships with other traits in opaque-2 (o(,2)) maize (Zea mays L.), an investigation was conducted to estimate genetic variation, correlations and responses to S(,1) family selection for kernel traits in two modified endosperm o(,2) maize populations (D.O. mod. o(,2) and El. …

Inheritance and Genetic Correlations of Certain Traits in Modified Endosperm Texture Opaque-2 Maize (Zea Mays L.)
… useful in improving agronomic characteristics in opaque-2 (o2) maize (Zea mays L.). Five methods of quantifying endosperm modification were compared. Visual estimates of endosperm modification were found to be reliable and efficient means of rating modification. Using these estimates cytoplasmic …

Isolation and Identification of the Abnormal Opaque material in the White Mutant of Siamese Fighting Fish, Betta Splendens
… stored in body integuments. A new mutation, opaque (Op), has been described for the Siamese Fighting Fish, Betta splendens. A build-up of the white material occurs as the fish ages especially in the head and eyes. Unlike a disease, the condition seems to be irreversible. The purpose of this …
