Foreign Banks in Eastern Europe: Mode of Entry and Effects on Bank Interest Rates [PDF]
, 2006 Credit markets in many Eastern European countries are now dominated by foreign-owned banks. We analyze the development for foreign ownership and its impact on lending rate in ten Eastern European countries between 1995 and 2003.

Biophysical Determinants and Constraints on Sperm Swimming Velocity
Cells, 2022 Over the last 50 years, sperm competition has become increasingly recognised as a potent evolutionary force shaping male ejaculate traits. One such trait is sperm swimming speed, with faster sperm associated with increased fertilisation success in some ...

Are Drosophila preferences for yeasts stable or contextual?
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Whether there are general mechanisms, driving interspecific chemical communication is uncertain. Saccharomycetaceae yeast and Drosophila fruit flies, both extensively studied research models, share the same fruit habitat, and it has been suggested their ...

Does lending behaviour of banks in emerging economies vary by ownership? Evidence from the Indian banking sector [PDF]
, 2008 While much has been discussed about the relationship between ownership and financial performance of banks in emerging markets, literature about cross-ownership differences in credit market behaviour of banks in emerging economies is sparse.

Regulating Eternal Inflation II: The Great Divide
, 2006 In a previous paper, two of the authors presented a "regulated" picture of eternal inflation. This picture both suggested and drew support from a conjectured discontinuity in the amplitude for tunneling from positive to negative vacuum energy, as the ...

Does Interbank Borrowing Reduce Bank Risk? [PDF]
, 2007 In this paper we investigate whether banks that borrow from other banks have lower risk levels. We concentrate on a large sample of Central and Eastern European banks which allows us to explore the impact of interbank lending when exposures are long-term

Towards a quantum theory of de Sitter space
, 2006 We describe progress towards constructing a quantum theory of de Sitter space in four dimensions. In particular we indicate how both particle states and Schwarzschild de Sitter black holes can arise as excitations in a theory of a finite number of ...

Production and Analysis of Recycled Ammonium Perrhenate from CMSX-4 superalloys
Open Chemistry, 2018 The process to extract rhenium from a superalloy is an immense technical challenge due the complex chemistry involved. Being one of the rarest elements in the earth’s crust the scarcity and cost of rhenium makes it advantageous to recover the element ...
