Nickel-based superalloys exhibit excellent high temperature strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance creep resistance. They are widely used in applications aerospace, power petrochemical industries. The need for economical efficient usage of materials often necessitates the joining dissimilar metals. In this study, welding between two different nickel-based superalloys, Inconel 718 600, was...

A minimum in cloud coverage occurring between 800 and 600 mb can be inferred from soundings taken within the tropical western Pacific warm pool. Surface observations of clouds and satellite-derived outgoing longwave radiation values suggest that the cloud minimum in the 600–800-mb layer occurs in all weather conditions. One explanation for the enhanced occurrence of clouds above (in the 400–600...

This article presents the growing research area of Behavioural Corporate Finance in the context of one specific example: distortions in corporate investment due to CEO overconfidence. We first review the relevant psychology and experimental evidence on overconfidence. We then summarise the results of Malmendier and Tate (2005a) on the impact of overconfidence on corporate investment. We present...
