As more applications are required of the radiations (e.g., neutrons and photons), be it a nuclear reactor, shielding facility, or a radiation treatment apparatus, the demands on the capability and accuracy of design and analysis are increasing ever to a very high degree.

We examine the cross-sectional relation between the twelve-month real change in shares outstanding and stock returns. During the post-1970 time period, change in shares outstanding exhibits a strong cross-sectional ability to predict stock returns. This predictive ability is typically stronger than the predictive ability of size, book-to-market, or momentum. Our finding is related to research t...
