We find that trends and reversals in past earnings surprises predict future stock returns. These earnings surprise sequences produce a 9.88% risk-adjusted annual return which cannot be attributed to momentum nor post-earnings announcement drift. Our empirical methodology captures the market’s beliefs regarding future returns by estimating the probability associated with different possible retur...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of using recycled canola oil as raw material to produce ASTM standard biodiesel. Two-step reaction, acid-catalyzed esterification followed by alkali-catalyzed transesterification, was performed. The high level of free fatty acids ( FFA) in the recycled canola oil was reduced to less than 1% by acidcatalyzed esterification with 40/1 molar ...

The notion of a probabilistic metric  space  corresponds to thesituations when we do not know exactly the  distance.  Probabilistic Metric space was  introduced by Karl Menger. Alsina, Schweizer and Sklar gave a general definition of  probabilistic normed space based on the definition of Menger [1]. In this note we study the PN spaces which are  topological vector spaces and the open mapping an...

Pulmonary inhalation chemotherapeutic drug delivery offers many advantages for lung cancer patients in comparison to conventional systemic chemotherapy. Inhalable particles are advantageous in their ability to deliver drug deep in the lung by utilizing optimally sized particles and higher local drug dose delivery. In this work, spray-dried and co-spray dried inhalable lung surfactant-mimic PEGy...

With reference to Lee’s treatment of quasi-probabilities, it is seen that the three phase space quasi-probabilities, known as the P-, Husimi and Wigner ones, plus other intermediate ones, generate a common, single Fisher thermodynamics, along the lines developed by Frieden et al. We explore some facets of such thermodynamics and encounter complementarity between two different kinds of Fisher in...

Best known for his contributions to the field of embryology [6], Karl Ernst von Baer [5] also pursued a variety of other areas of study including medicine, botany, zoology, and anthropology. Committing his life to scientific research, von Baer?s work led to the advancement of the understanding of mammalian reproduction, development, and organ functioning. His embryological discoveries ultimatel...
