Landing Asymmetry in Back Tucked Saltos and the Effect of Takeoff Asymmetry
Introduction: Landing asymmetry is an injury risk factor that may have antecedents at takeoff. The goals of this study were to (1) characterize normal takeoff and landing asymmetry and (2) examine how landing asymmetry is related to takeoff asymmetry for both force and kinematic variables during a …

Cognitive representation of facial asymmetry
The human face displays mild asymmetry, with measurements of facial structure differing from left to right of the meridian by an average of three percent. Presently this source of variation is of theoretical interest primarily to researchers studying the perception of beauty, but a very limited …

Measuring Galaxy Asymmetry in Different Dimensions
Galaxy Asymmetry is correlated to a wide variety of phenomena, such as galaxy interactions, merger history, galaxy color and structure. The upcoming SKA radio-telescopes will record unprecedented numbers of HI cubes. An SKA pathfinder, the upcoming WALLABY survey will record thousands of HI galaxy …

Order and Asymmetry in Jammed Systems
… > R<sub>c</sub>* in all systems. (2) The asymmetry ratio R<sub>h</sub>*/ R<sub>c</sub>* increases as R<sub>c</sub>* increases. (3) The critical heating rate R<sub>h</sub>* (R<sub>p</sub>) has an intrinsic contribution R<sub>h</sub>* (∞) and protocol-dependent contribution R<sub>h</sub>* -- …

Frontal cortical asymmetry and impulsive aggression.
… study lends evidence towards resting frontal asymmetry as a marker for susceptibility to psychopathology.

Asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei
… two experiments which seek to elucidate the asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei. In the first experiment, a digital-signal-processing technique was developed to measure the neutron total cross section of the rare: but stable) isotope <super>48</super>Ca using a sample that …

The Nature of Asymmetry in Fluid Criticality
… deals with an investigation of the nature of asymmetry in fluid criticality, especially for vapor-liquid equilibra in one-component fluids and liquid-liquid equilibra in binary fluid mixtures. The conventional mixing of physical variables in scaling theory introduces an asymmetric term in …

Essays On Information Asymmetry In Equity Market
Information asymmetry is a common phenomenon everywhere. This dissertation studies this phenomenon through observing the equity market both in the developed country and in the emerging market and observing both the initial price offering market and the secondary equity market. Chapter one develops …

The Impact of Unions on Information Asymmetry
… using industry-level union data, and information asymmetry. Prior literature also finds a mitigating effect from employee ownership on the negative association between union power and voluntary disclosure. Using a sample of company observations for fiscal years 2008 through 2010, I examine the …

Factoring in Brazil: An Information Asymmetry Approach
Finally, by using the assertion that factors take both the relative efficiency in factoring and the spread between the seller and the factor's discount rates, we can offer an alternative explanation for the apparent paradox between the need to reduce risk exposure and the choice of no-recourse …

Walking Speed, Gait Asymmetry, and Motor Variability
… and 3) examine the correlation between gait asymmetry and motor variability. Ten and fifty-one healthy control participants were recruited for aim 1 and aims 2/3, respectively. Reflective markers were placed on lower-extremity bony landmarks and participants walked on an instrumented …

Essays on Information Asymmetry, Active Management, and Performance
Agency theory suggests that information asymmetry between mutual fund managers and mutual fund investors can be mitigated if managers are compensated for the private information that influences mutual fund risk and performance. This study investigates the role of active management in influencing …

Asymmetry In Operational Efficiency and Managerial Ability Benchmarks
… The incremental explanatory power of modeling asymmetry in OE and MA levels (changes) is 20.9% (39.5%) and 263.3% (27.6%), measured as incremental adjusted R2. Cross-sectionally, asymmetry in OE and MA varies with the determinants of cost stickiness: (1) asset intensity and (2) employee …

Functional Asymmetry of The Immune Cell Plasma Membrane
… of the plasma membrane. This compositional asymmetry is most prominent for phosphatidylserine (PS), a negatively charged lipid that is found almost exclusively on the cytoplasmic (inner) leaflet of the plasma membrane. This energetically unfavorable asymmetry is maintained by the activity of …

Double Spin Asymmetry in d →(e→e'p)n
… works rather well at lower missing momenta. The asymmetry changes sign as a function of the missing momentum, as expected within PWIA from the presence of a <em>D-</em>state component in the deuteron wavefunction.</p>

Do accruals exacerbate information asymmetry in the market?
… In this study, I examine whether the information asymmetry among investors arising from this heterogeneous interpretation, implied in these empirical results, affects transactions costs in the form of the bid-ask spread and its adverse selection component. I examine this impact both, in general, …

Impulsivity and frontal asymmetry in substance-dependent individuals.
… The present study sought to investigate frontal asymmetry in impulsive versus not-impulsive substance-dependent individuals receiving rehabilitation treatment. Eighteen male substance-dependent individuals (impulsive = 10) receiving treatment were recruited to participate in a resting EEG …
