Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Copper‐based composites enhanced with carbon feature convenient mechanical properties and favorable electric conductivity. Processing via deformation and thermomechanical treatments can introduce advantageous microstructures further enhancing their performance. Herein, copper–graphene powder‐based composites are directly consolidated via rotary swaging

Are mutual fund investors in jail? [PDF]
The absence of investor reaction to the poor performance of mutual funds is a widely reported phenomenon. This paper investigates the role of load costs as an explanation for the phenomenon and concludes that back-end load fees are an obstacle to ...

Multimodal Data‐Driven Microstructure Characterization
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A self‐consistent autonomous workflow for EBSP‐based microstructure segmentation by integrating PCA, GMM clustering, and cNMF with information‐theoretic parameter selection, requiring no user input. An optimal ROI size related to characteristic grain size is identified.

Taxes and Mutual Fund Inflows Around Distribution Dates [PDF]
Capital gain distributions by mutual funds generate tax liability for taxable shareholders, thereby reducing their after-tax returns. Taxable investors who are considering purchasing fund shares around distribution dates have an incentive to delay their ...

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Italian Open End Mutual Fund Costs
We investigate the costs investors incur when they hold shares of Italian open end mutual funds. The overall explicit cost can range from less than 50 to well over 250 basis points in terms of assets under management. Nevertheless, mutual funds investors

Essays on Mutual Fund Performance [PDF]
, 2016 In this dissertation we use a network approach based on cross-fund correlation to calculate metrics that can help to describe the existence of common features not captured by common factors.
