The ‘Transparency Effect’ in Pharmaceutical ESG Reports
IperstoriaAs the pharmaceutical sector has become increasingly competitive, companies have adopted a plethora of strategies and practices not only to publicise their products but also to be perceived by stakeholders as transparent and, by way of implication ...

Opacity in Financial Markets [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 This paper studies the implications of opacity in financial markets for investor behavior, asset prices, and welfare. Transparent funds (e.g., mutual funds) and opaque funds (e.g., hedge funds) trade transparent assets (e.g., plain-vanilla products) and opaque assets (e.g., structured products).

Bright Monocompound Metal Halide Scintillator for Fast Neutron Radiography
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metal halide scintillator, tetraphenylphosphonium manganese bromide (TPP2MnBr4), provides a significant benefit for fast neutron imaging. A fourfold increase in efficiency over traditional zinc sulfide screens is achieved by efficiently utilizing neutron interactions within its homogeneous structure.

Opacity: Insurance and fragility [PDF]
Review of Economic Dynamics, 2019 What are the effects of banks holding opaque, complex assets? Should regulators require bank assets to be more transparent? I study these questions in a model of financial intermediation where opacity determines how long the realized value of an asset remains unknown.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Particular thermal metamaterials are widely used as daytime radiative coolers merely by embedding thermally emissive nanoparticles (NPs) in liquid resins to form scalable, yet highly efficient cooling films in a cost‐effective way. However, randomly dispersed NPs, prevalently used thus far, cause strong scattering, limiting NP content and cooling ...

Verification of Opacity Under a K-Delay Orwellian Observation Mechanism
MathematicsOpacity, an important property of the information flow in discrete-event systems (DESs), characterizes whether the secret information in a system is ambiguous to a passive observer (called an intruder).

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phase‐separated alkyl poly(vinylimidazolium) membranes exhibit exceptional ionic conductivity, counter‐ion selectivity, and proton‐blocking ability by forming stable micro/macrophase‐separated domains. This design overcomes the conductivity–selectivity trade‐off in conventional ion‐exchange membranes (IEMs), offering a new paradigm for high‐performance
