Realized Correlation Tick-By-Tick [PDF]
In this paper we extend the approach of directly using all the available tick-by-tick data to the realized correlation estimation. As for the realized volatility, the presence of market microstructure can induce signiflcant bias in standard realized covariance measure computed with artiflcially regularly spaced returns.

Ticks and Tick-borne diseases in Ireland [PDF]
Throughout Europe interest in tick-borne agents is increasing, particularly with regard to those that can cause human disease. The reason for this is the apparent rise in the incidence of many tick-borne diseases (TBD's). While there has never been a national survey of ticks or TBD's in Ireland, the trend here appears to be the reverse with a decline ...
