The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan حسب Zeitun, Rami

"…This study seeks to analyze the non-linear relationship between a firm's debt structure and performance based on evidence from Japan through the use of a panel data fixed effects model for a sample of 1,670 listed firms. This is the first study that looks at the effect of the short-term debt threshold on corporate performance, as well as the influence of the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) on the nonlinear effect of debt structure on corporate performance. …"

Role of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes on polyethylene, and effect of accelerated weathering on photo oxidation and mechanical properties حسب Zagho M.M.

"…Addition of CNTs had negligible effect on the tensile strength but it kept the same approximate value of the original before the accelerated weathering (e.g., 23.2 MPa for 1 wt% of CNTs). CNTs also protected the samples even with the presence of TONPs because of the absorbance and antioxidants effects. …"

Event-triggered fault detection and isolation for discrete-time linear systems حسب Hajshirmohamadi, Shahram

"…Using a Leunberger observer as the residual generator, a multi-objective formulation of the FDI problem is presented based on l1, H- and H? performance indices. For each performance index, sufficient conditions for the design of FDI observer are presented based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). …"

Membrane solubilization in erythrocytes as a measure of radiation exposure to fast neutrons حسب Monem, A Soltan

"…The solubilization of erythrocyte membrane by a non- ionic detergent, octylglucoside (OG), was found to exhibit a two stage transition from vesicular form to mixed micellar form in the range of detergent concentrations 1.5-7.8 mM. The coexistence phase, vesicular/mixed micellar, was shifted towards higher detergent concentrations with increase in the neutron fluence, indicating increasing membrane resistance to the detergent and hence change in the natural membrane permeation properties. …"
