Publication 1. A. Manceau et al, “Quantitative Zn speciation in smelter-contaminated soils by EXAFS spectroscopy,” Am. J. Sci. (in press, 2000). Figure 3 (top) Soil samples were taken at several depths from a contaminated site. (bottom) Model compounds derived from polarized-EXAFS data at the ESRF and μ-EXAFS data at the ALS provide a good fit with powder-EXAFS spectra from a soil sample, there...

The objective of this study was to verify the effect of active and passive recovery on blood lactate concentration and power performance. Twelve male subjects were submitted to a maximal strength test in the the bench press, a maximal aerobic test in the bench step, and to four sets of bench press exercise performed as fast and as long as possible, using 80% of maximal strength when active or p...

This paper studies voluntary certification when (a) there is uncertainty about managerial propensity to report truthfully, (b) some components of the firm’s value may be certified for a cost (“hard”), (c) other components may be disclosed but not certified free of misstatements (“soft”). We establish that untruthful managers are more likely to certify hard information and that, among truthful m...
