We study the stability of polymer-shelled bubbles with controlled dimensions generated from air-in-oil-inwater (A/O/W) compound bubbles. We show that the ratio of the shell thickness to bubble radius is critical in generating un-deformed polymer-shelled bubbles from A/O/W compound bubbles. In addition, the effects of shell stiffness and encapsulated gas on bubble stability are also investigated...

The paper investigates the key factors of export dynamics for a set of Central and Southeast European (CSEE) countries in the context of current economic and financial crisis. In order to model the export dynamics a Global Vector Auto Regressive (GVAR) model is defined. As opposed to models which model each country separately, the GVAR combines all country models in a global model which enables...

This paper estimates the impact of China’s exchange rate changes on exports of competitor countries in third markets, which we call the “spillover effect”. We use recent theory to develop an identification strategy in which competition between China and its developing country competitors in specific products and destinations plays a key role. We exploit the variation— afforded by disaggregated ...

Numerical simulations are presented to examine the effect of the lee-side static stability on the spillover of orographic precipitation. The results show that the presence a cold-air pool in the lee of a mountain ridge greatly increases the precipitation spillover because the cold pool suppresses the lee-side downslope air motion that otherwise leads to a rapid evaporation of the precipitation....

This Letter reports experiments on the shape and path of air bubbles ~diameter range 0.1–0.2 cm! rising in clean water. We find that bubbles in this diameter range have two steady shapes, a sphere and an ellipsoid, depending on the size of the capillary tube from which they detach. The spherical bubbles move significantly slower than the ellipsoidal ones of equivalent volume. Bubbles with diame...

Stock price bubbles are often on productive assets and occur in a sector of the economy. In addition, their occurrence is often accompanied by credit booms. Incorporating these features, we provide a two-sector endogenous growth model with credit-driven stock price bubbles. Bubbles have a credit easing effect in that they relax collateral constraints and improve investment efficiency. Sectoral ...

Co-movement analysis has a significant role in recourse allocation, risk management, etc. This study uses the novel approach of wavelet coherence in continuous wavelet transform framework to investigate the correlation dynamic and spillover effect of 10 main sector indices of Tehran Stock Exchange, in time and frequency domains. Analyzing the data indicates that correlation structure among TSE ...

Intramuscular (IM) electrodes have been used safely and effectively for decades to activate paralyzed muscles in neuroprosthetic systems employing functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, the response to stimulation delivered by these and any type of electrode can be limited by a phenomenon known as spillover, in which the stimulus intended to produce a contraction in a particular musc...

or provide information about other aspects of sympathetic function. This report examines how cardiac spillover of the norepinephrine metabolite dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) provides additional distinct information about cardiac sympathetic function. Methods and Results. Arterial and coronary venous blood samples were taken during cardiac catheterization and intravenous infusion of [3Hlnorepinep...
