This paper investigates whether the skewness of firm fundamentals is informative about future firm performance and stock returns. We present two distinct preference-free theoretical models of firm fundamentals, both of which imply a positive relation between the skewness of firm fundamentals and expected stock return. Consistent with this implication, we show empirically that the skewness measu...

Regular physical activity is important for health benefits among youth, but disparities exist. This paper describes disparities in physical activity participation and sedentary behaviors among youth in the United States, provides intervention implications, and offers recommendations for future research focused on reducing disparities related to levels of physical activity. Secondary analysis of...

We present the results of a VLT observing program carried out in service mode using FORS1 on ANTU in Long Slit mode to determine the optical velocities of nearby low surface brightness galaxies. Outlying Local Group galaxies are of paramount importance in placing constraints the dynamics and thus on both the age and the total mass of the Local Group. Optical velocities are also necessary to det...

It is well known that the spectral radius of a tree whose maximum degree is∆ cannot exceed 2 √ ∆− 1. Similar upper bound holds for arbitrary planar graphs, whose spectral radius cannot exceed √ 8∆+10, and more generally, for all d-degenerate graphs, where the corresponding upper bound is √ 4d∆. Following this, we say that a graph G is spectrally d-degenerate if every subgraph H of G has spectra...

OBJECTIVE To identify rates of abusive head trauma and associated clinical risk factors in patients with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of infants, 0 to 12 months, admitted for an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE; 1999-2003). Patients with abusive head trauma were identified at presentation or on follow-up; statistical analysis identified char...

Objective: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare variant of HCC. We report an analysis of the clinicopathologic features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic indicators of 94 cases. Methods: We retrospectively collected clinicopathologic and treatment outcome data from 94 FLHCC patients (48 males and 46 females). Median overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) ...
