We examine 38 takeovers of distressed firms and find that these takeovers are more likely to
involve firms in the same industry and less likely to be hostile takeovers than are …

Remotely sensed bathymetry from multispectral imagery generally is based on a simple
reflectance model [1]; the radiance in wavelength band i at water depth Z is given by the …

To investigate free floating piston pin behavior in a heavy duty diesel engine, an unused
piston-pin-rod joint was instrumented. Combining telemetry systems with inductively powered …

A piston pin joint in a modern diesel engine operates under extreme loading and lubrication
conditions. High load in combination with low relative surface velocities and limited …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has the highest incidence of all common neurological disorders,
and poses a substantial public health burden. TBI is increasingly documented not only as …

Women who gain excessive weight during pregnancy have an increased risk of post‐partum

A simple technique has been devised that allows the direct synthesis of native backbone
proteins of moderate size. Chemoselective reaction of two unprotected peptide segments gives …

We report the generation and analysis of functional data from multiple, diverse experiments
performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE …
