a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: E52 G10 G14 Keywords: High oil price events Asymmetric impacts of monetary shocks Financing constraints This paper investigates whether a high oil price event that worsens the quality of a firm's balance sheet in turn provides an additional transmission channel to the stock market, which then affects stock returns. We examine the asymmetric impacts of m...

Researchers in China have tended not to distinguish between conventional and unconventional oil, leading to inaccuracies in their estimates of future oil production. The purpose of this paper is to make an accurate estimate of the pattern of China’s future oil production, by properly distinguishing between these oil types. We make our analysis by treating conventional oil as a single category, ...

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) category substances are used to manufacture HFO, a product used in industrial boilers and marine diesel engines. Commercial HFOs and blending stream components are substances of complex and variable composition, composed of C20 to >C50 hydrocarbons, although lower molecular weight material may be added to reduce viscosity and improve flow characteristics. An HFO blending st...

More than 600 million pounds of the soybean oil produced annually in the United States are used for nonedible applications, including the production of industrial materials (American Soybean Association, 2001). More than half of this use of soybean oil falls in the category of fatty acids, soaps, and feed. The remainder of the nonedible soybean market is used for the manufacture of inks, paints...

Introduction Exposure to chronic levels of ionizing radiation could be detrimental to health even at very low doses. Calabar free trade zone (CFTZ) was established to promote export business in Nigeria and it is yet to produce exposure data of the Zone. Materials and Methods The Zone was divided into three categories depending on the type of business. Category A had facilities with manufacturin...

BACKGROUND Temporal and spatial expression of fatty acid and lipid biosynthetic genes are associated with the accumulation of storage lipids in the seeds of oil plants. In jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.), a potential biofuel plant, the storage lipids are mainly synthesized and accumulated in the endosperm of seeds. Although the fatty acid and lipid biosynthetic genes in jatropha have been identif...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the physico-chemical characteristics of Moringa oleifera seeds and seed oil from a wild provenance of Pakistan. The Moringa seeds harvested from the forests of Kohat district of NWFP exhibited an oil yield of 34.80%. Protein, fiber, moisture and ash contents were 31.65, 7.54, 8.90 and 6.53%, respectively. The extracted M. oleifera seed oil reveale...
