Between 1988 and 1994 ten European countries introduced or modified their regulations on insider trading. We evaluate in this article the impact of such regulatory changes on the risk, return, and some other characteristics of these ten markets. After extensive testing, we find that the evidence suggests that these regulations have had little (if any) impact on the market characteristics we exa...

To simulate the automobile ingress movement, joint angles are needed. The joint angles are computed from the experimental data issued from an optoelectronic motion capture system. As these systems are often corrupted by problems related either to the system or to the experimentation, the computed angles are biased. Lempereur et al. (2003) proposed an optimization procedure to remedy to this pro...

We demonstrate highly germania doped fibers for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. Experiments ensure a highest output power of 1.44 W for a broadest spectrum from 700 nm to 3200 nm and 6.4 W for 800 nm to 2700 nm from these fibers, while being pumped by a broadband Erbium-Ytterbium doped fiber based master oscillator power amplifier. The effect of repetition frequency of pump source and l...

For decades, dimethyl sulfate (DMS) mapping has informed manual modeling of RNA structure in vitro and in vivo. Here, we incorporate DMS data into automated secondary structure inference using a pseudo-energy framework developed for 2 ́-OH acylation (SHAPE) mapping. On six non-coding RNAs with crystallographic models, DMSguided modeling achieves overall false negative and false discovery rates o...
