  ABSTRACT: This review is provided a detailed overview of the different synthesis and characterization methods of polymeric nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are defined as solid and colloidal particles of macromolecular substances ranging in size under 100 nm. Different types of nanoparticles are used in many biological areas (bio-sensing, biological separation, molecular imaging, anticancer therapy, etc.). The new features and functions provided with nano dimensions are largely different from their bulk forms[...] Read more. Abstract HTML PDF

  Merger waves: Are buyers following the herd or responding to structural queues?

  Financial Statistical Journal (2018) Volume 1 ; doi:10.24294/fsj.v1i2.971

  ABSTRACT: While there has been a significant amount of research covering the causes of merger waves, few papers have rank ordered merger waves based on the causes nor sought to determine which rationale leads to higher bidder payouts. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining a cross section of large mergers across most industries occurring over a 17 year period. I find that merger waves over this period are caused foremost by changing economic and regulatory conditions. It is the behavioral rationa[...] Read more. Abstract HTML PDF

  ABSTRACT: ZrO2 thin film samples were produced by the sol-gel dip coating method. Four different absorbed dose levels (such as ~ 0.4, 0.7, 1.2 and 2.7 Gray-Gy) were applied to ZrO2 thin films. Hence the absorbed dose of ZrO2 thin film was examined as physical dose quantity representing the mean energy imparted to the thin film per unit mass by gamma radiation. Modification of the grain size was performed sensitively by the application of the absorbed dose to the ZrO2 thin film. Therefore the grain size re[...] Read more. Abstract HTML PDF
