Mergers and Acquisitions and Brexit: A Natural Experiment
ABSTRACT We study the impact of Brexit uncertainty on one of the most important forms of corporate investment: mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Brexit provides us with an ideal natural experiment to explore the real effects of economic uncertainty and understand the underlying transmission mechanism. We document a significant decline in the number of M&

Financial Shocks, Uncertainty Shocks, and Corporate Liquidity
ABSTRACT I estimate a structural VAR identified using sign restrictions to separately identify financial, macro uncertainty, and financial uncertainty shocks. The novelty of the estimation procedure relies on the qualitatively different response of corporate liquidity: Financial shocks lead firms to draw down their liquidity as they lose access to ...

Analysis of image formation in optical palpation
Optical palpation is an emerging elastography technique that generates images of mechanical stress at the tissue surface, with applications in intraoperative cancer detection. Image formation is simulated using finite element analysis and validated with experiments on silicone phantoms, providing an analysis of trends in detectability, feature ...

Multi-Objective Optimization Technique Based on QUBO and an Ising Machine
With an increase in the complexity of society, solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) has become crucial. In this study, we introduced a novel method called “quadratic unconstrained binary optimization based on the weighted normal ...

ABSTRACT Total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful intervention for relieving pain and improving quality of life. In this context, mid‐flexion instability and paradoxical anterior femoral movement remain challenging. However, the role of implant design in cruciate‐sacrificing (CS) scenarios is unclear.

Abstract Purpose Previous knee surgery is discussed as a risk factor for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet most reports do not distinguish between osteotomy and osteosynthesis. The German Operationen‐ und Prozedurenschlüssel (OPS)‐based classification was used to compare the impact of these procedures on implant survival, mortality and complications ...

Immersive and Generative Technology: New Tools for Marketing, New Tools for Consumer Response
ABSTRACT Immersive technologies, including AR, VR, XR, and generative technologies such as Gen‐AI, are reinventing marketing practice and consumer experience. In this article we provide an introductory review of how these technologies are (re)shaping consumer behavior in domains where the physical and digital converge, and consumers' response to them ...
