This thesis aims to investigate the dynamics of the so-called “leverage-effect”. This asymmetry in volatility after negative shocks, relative to positive shocks has been documented extensively before. However, except for findings that it is not due to leverage, the underlying or enhancing factors that cause it have not been investigated. This thesis aims to do so, by testing for the influence of f

As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results

The purpose of the present thesis is to analyze the effects of FDI on wages in the manufacturing sector from 2002-2008 in 33 different countries. The introductory chapter will review existing literature, distinguishing between neoclassical, political economy and sociology approaches. A second part will estimate the effects of FDI on wages using the panel ordinary least squares (OLS) fixed effects

Recent studies indicate that increasing solar UV-B is not merely an environmental stress for plants. Solar UV-B can cause plant morphogenetic effects, which can, in turn, modify the architecture of plants and the structure of a vegetation, In addition, UV-B radiation affect the production of various secondary metabolites (such as flavonoids, tannins and lignin) with important physiological and eco

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur vidsträckt den anställdes kritikrätt är inom den offentliga respektive privata sektorn. Av anställningsavtalet följer att den anställde ska vara lojal mot arbetsgivaren. Den anställdes rätt att föra fram kritik utgör dock en inskränkning i denna lojalitetsförpliktelse. Den offentligt anställde erhåller grundlagsskydd för sin yttrandefrihet och har såle

Methacrylated Pluronic triblock copolymers are widely used as photo-cross-linkable hydrogels, yet the effect of terminal methacrylation on self-assembly and thermoreversible gelation prior to cross-linking remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigate how the degree of methacrylation influences micellization, micelle packing, and gelation in Pluronic F127 using differential scanni

This thesis investigates differences in the industrial composition of employment and value added across COROP regions in the Netherlands for each year over the period 1995-2007. It is found that the direction of the regional specialisation trend – as measured by the Coefficient of Regional Specialisation – has fallen for employment but has risen for value added. This relation is further explored b

Ready-to-eat (RTE) leafy greens offer an appealing way to integrate leafy greens into meals. Unfortunately, these leafy greens canget contaminated with human pathogens such as Salmonella, and Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) at any stage along themanufacturing chain, potentially leading to serious foodborne diseases. Currently, there is no single step in the production and processing

INTRODUCTION: The prophylactic regimen in children with severe haemophilia is suggested in various publications and guidelines. Few data exist on its implementation in clinical practice.AIM: To investigate the implementation of primary prophylaxis based on real-life data from PedNet during the last 20 years.METHODS: All children from the PedNet cohort (n = 1260) with severe haemophilia A (SHA) or

We introduce the notion of a-walk S(n) = a1X1 +… + anXn, based on a sequence of positive numbers a = (a1, a2,…) and a Rademacher sequence X1,X2,…. We study recurrence/ transience (properly defined) of such walks for various sequences of a.

The interaction between swimming micro-organisms or artificial self-propelled colloids and passive (tracer) particles in a fluid leads to enhanced diffusion of the tracers. This enhancement has attracted strong interest, as it could lead to new strategies to tackle the difficult problem of mixing on a microfluidic scale. Most of the theoretical work on this topic has focused on hydrodynamic intera
