Carbon isotope chemistry in protoplanetary disks: Effects of C/O ratios [PDF]
Carbon isotope fractionation of CO has been reported in the disk around TW Hya,where elemental carbon is more abundant than elemental oxygen ([C/O]$_{\rm elem}$> 1). We investigated the effects of the [C/O]$_{\rm elem}$ ratio on carbon fractionation using astrochemical models that incorporate isotope-selective photodissociation and isotope-exchange ...

Some mathematical properties of the Bartlett chi ratio [PDF]
Based on artistic interpretations, art professor Christopher Bartlett (Towson University, USA) suggested introducing a new mathematical constant related to the golden ratio. He called it the chi ratio, as chi follows phi in the Greek alphabet. Without going too much into the artistic considerations, which may be subject to criticism similar to the ...

The behaviour of U.S. public debt and deficits during the global financial crisis [PDF]
In this paper we test the sustainability of U.S. public debt for the period 1916-2012 by analyzing how the primary surplus to gross domestic product (GDP) responds to changes in the debt to GDP ratio in a time-varying parameter model.

ABSTRACT In this study, we explore how the personal traits of CEOs and corporate governance mechanisms moderate the link between say‐on‐pay (SOP) votes and various aspects of firm efficiency. Our sample consists of 1931 firms listed in four Anglo‐Saxon economies (i.e., USA, UK, Canada and Australia) during a period of notable regulatory changes.

Stochastic Gene Expression Model of Nuclear-to-Cell Ratio Homeostasis [PDF]
Cell size varies between different cell types, and between different growth and osmotic conditions. However, the nuclear-to-cell volume ratio (N/C ratio) remains nearly constant. In this paper, we build on existing deterministic models of N/C ratio homeostasis and develop a simplified gene translation model to study the effect of stochasticity on the N/

Counting tropical rational curves with cross-ratio constraints [PDF]
We enumerate rational curves in toric surfaces passing through points and satisfying cross-ratio constraints using tropical and combinatorial methods. Our starting point is arXiv:1509.07453, where a tropical-algebraic correspondence theorem was proved that relates counts of rational curves in toric varieties that satisfy point conditions and cross ...

Fiscal Consolidation, Public Debt Containment and Disinflation – (Hungary’s Experience in Transition) [PDF]
The study analyses the relationship between public debt, external and internal disequilibrium and inflation in Hungary through changes in the public sector borrowing requirement and in the structure of budget financing. The analysis is based on data from

Ramifi cations of Debt Restructuring on the Euro Area – The Example of Large European Economies’ Exposure to Greece [PDF]
The Greek government budget situation plays a central role in the debt crisis in the euro area. The debt to GDP ratio is above 150 percent, while the defi cit to GDP ratio exceeds 10 percent.

CSR Governance Committee and Carbon Emission Performance: Does Committee Composition Matter?
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee characteristics, namely the committee size, independence, chairperson independence, and meeting frequency, on firms' carbon emission performance. The authors test the hypotheses through a panel data analysis for a sample of non‐financial firms listed on the ...
