We study the strategic interaction between fundamental informed trading and order-flow informed trading. In a standard two-period Kyle (1985) model, we add a “back-runner” who observes, ex post and potentially with noise, the order flow of the fundamental informed investor in the first period. Learning from orderflow information, the back-runner competes with the fundamental investor in the sec...

INTRODUCTION This note engages in the public debate over the participation of female athletes with hyperandrogenism in professional sport. Hyperandrogenism, a condition leading to higher testosterone levels than would be expected for ‘biological females’, is thought by many to provide affected athletes with a competitive edge over non-affected athletes.1 In 2011, when public attention was drawn...

Modelling and simulation of injection moulding process is an important technique that could shorten production cycle time with improved productivity for defect-free parts. This technique is more suitable for micro-injection moulding (μIM) process as likely defects during production can be predicted. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of runner dimensions on quality of moulded ...

The hypothesis that there may be something quantum-like about the human mental function was put forward with “Spooky Activation at Distance” formula which attempted to model the effect that when a word’s associative network is activated during study in memory experiment; it behaves like a quantumentangled system. The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions...

Testing automation tools enables developers and testers to easily automate the entire process of testing in software development. The objective of the paper is to conduct a comparative study of automated tools such as the Mercury Quick Test Professional and the Mercury Load Runner based on criteria such as the efforts involved with generating test scripts, capability to playback the scripts, re...

Cross-flow turbines have recently been proposed for energy recovery in aqueducts when the outlet pressure is greater than zero, owing to their constructive simplicity and good efficiency within a large range of flow rates head drops. In case high drop (higher 150 m) relatively small discharge (lower 0.2 m3/s), traditional design these leads very widths nozzle runner; as consequence, friction lo...

Oil palm propagation techniques are juvenile pot plants derived from germinated seeds and tissue culture, because it doesn’t produce sucker. In the nursery stage, monitoring the conditions of irrigation and nutrition are important to ensure phenotypic quality. During the nursery stage, optimal fertilization in development of more vigorous and productive plants. This research was carried out to ...

A genetic map containing 103 microsatellite loci and 200 F2 plants derived from the cross R15 × Ye478 were used for mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.). QTLs were characterized in a population of 200 F2:4 lines, derived from selfing the F2 plants, and were evaluated with two replications in two environments. QTL mapping analysis of plant height was performed by using...

Naturally established individuals of Plantago lanceolata with the inflorescence disease caused by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans had more inflorescences and were more likely to be male-sterile than healthy plants. Half-sib families planted in the field varied in the percentage of diseased plants, the number of inflorescences per plant, the incidence of male-sterility, and the pattern of...
