Shorting opaque signals
This study uses short interest data to show that quantitative equity investors devote more capital to firm-specific 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 …

Investigation of Shorting by Penetration in Pem Fuel Cell Membranes
Electrical shorting through the proton exchange membrane (PEM) is a form of early failure commonly found in PEM fuel cells. In order to improve the durability and thus the commercial potential for PEM fuel cells, this form of failure must be understood and mitigated. This research investigates …

Development of triple band planar inverted F-antenna (PIFA) for GSM 800 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz and Bluetooth 2400 MHz
… suspended above the FR4 dielectric substrate. A shorting plate is employed between the top patch and the ground plane. The antenna is fed by using coaxial feeding as it is easier to design. The antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. Different parameters such as shorting …

Improvement of the Operating Efficiency and Initial Costs of a Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Array through Voltage Clamping
… is to design build and test an electronic shorting switch suitable for use in a PV utility-scale power generation application. The electronic shorting switch can able to prevent the output voltage of PV system increasing too far from VMPP. Therefore, it is anticipated that the ability to …

Crude Oil and Crude Oil Derivatives Transactions by Oil and Gas Producers.
… value. If oil and gas producing companies stop shorting crude oil derivatives contracts, company stock prices increase significantly. In contrast, if oil and gas producing companies start shorting crude oil derivatives contracts, stock prices drop marginally significantly. Thus, hedging by …

Solid-State Flow Control for Ion Electrospray Propulsion
… the thruster emitter, flooding and potentially shorting the entire thruster. Use of mechanical valves and flow regulators outweigh the benefits of having such a small electric thruster in the first place. Previous work on an electrowetting valve provided a single-use activation barrier to …

Development of triple band planar inverted-H antenna for DCS, WIMAX and WLAN application
… Microwave Studio. Different parameters such as shorting width, height of antenna, ground plane size and patch slot size that affect the antenna characteristics were also studied. The designed antenna was fabricated and assembled together and tested using network analyzer. The result obtained for …

Cobalt silicide characterization
… inability to form on narrow poly-lines and gate shorting. Cobalt silicide is an alternative to TiSi2 due to its scalability (down to 0.065 mum 2) while providing acceptable sheet resistance, better heat cycle immunity, and good junction leakage characteristics; Key factors to be considered for a …

Development of self-folding origami sensors through the use of resistance, capacitance, and inductance
… resistor design can detect compression via shorting between tiles (thereby decreasing resistance). Smoother detection of compression was achieved through measurement of capacitance in a design which connected alternate rows of tiles. Lastly, inductance and magnetic field of a folded coil …

Risk arbitrage trading and the characteristics of arbitrage spreads : the Canadian evidence
… Buying the targets of the entire sample and shorting their bidders does not yield abnormal returns. However, smarter trading focused on specific segments of the sample yield short-term abnormal returns. I find that trading strategies based on buying the following three categories of targets …

Pairs trading: a copula approach
… mispricing occurs. The strategy involves shorting the overvalued stock and simultaneously going long on the undervalued stock and closing the positions once the prices have returned to fair values. The cointegration method and the distance method are the most common techniques used in …

Gendered expectations for gendered companies: the effect of the grammatical gender of company names on the stock price momentum of Latin American and Spanish stocks
… from buying past rising stocks, rather than shorting past falling stocks. Gender differences are not evident in momentumshort. Implications for the effect of grammatical gender in high-stakes situations, and future directions are discussed.

Piotroski's F-Score in the Chinese A-Share market
… BM firm sample, buying high F-Score firms and shorting low F-Score firms consistently, on average, generate 1.28% market adjusted profit per month. The results are robust for size partition. However, the benefits of Piotroski's F-Score strategy are concentrated in low liquidity and analyst …

Bandwidth enhancement techniques for low-profile antennas: Theory and experiment
… can have arbitrary perimeters, load slots, and shorting pins. Both theoretical and experimental results are given. The coupled-resonator approach is shown to produce greater than two-fold increases in operating bandwidth. For even wider bandwidths a second method is demonstrated. This second …

Two essays on institutional investors
… when lending fees are extremely high and use the shorting market's signals to form stock-selling decisions. Our findings help explain why institutional investors lend stocks. They also highlight a new source of short-sale constraints arising from the informed loan supply.
