Do tax havens affect the usage of share buybacks schemes?
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines whether the use of tax haven subsidiaries by U.S. multinational corporations (MNCs) is associated with more intense usage of share buybacks. I find that MNCs' more intensive tax haven subsidiary usage is positively associated with a higher buyback ratio, a higher level of free cash flow and a higher level of return on ...

Quality from Kent: Preliminary results from the analysis of fifth‐ to seventh‐century silver alloys
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores early results from the chemical and lead isotope analysis of 30 silver‐alloy objects from southeast England dating between the fifth and seventh centuries CE, presenting limited aspects of the three main analyses that were conducted. First, a comparison of the results gained from surface x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) values and

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents multifaceted analyses of metal artefacts from the Jodłowno Hoard (Northern Poland), revealing that the metal originated from Iberian polymetallic ore deposits. Transported as raw ingots via Atlantic maritime routes, this copper was reworked locally into regionally distinctive forms.

Image‐Based Spatio‐Temporal Interpolation for Split Rendering
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Low‐powered devices – such as small form factor head‐mounted displays (HMDs) – struggle to deliver a smooth and high‐quality viewing experience, due to their limited power and rendering capabilities. Cloud rendering attempts to solve the quality issue, but leads to prohibitive latency and bandwidth requirements, hindering use with HMDs over ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.
