Tail-Heaviness, Asymmetry, and Profitability Forecasting by Quantile Regression

We show that quantile regression is better than ordinary-least-squares (OLS) regression in forecasting profitability for a range of profitability measures following the conventional setup of the accounting literature...

A New Way to See a Bronchopleural Fistula
A 77-year-old man presented with five episodes of sepsis to different hospitals in the year after having a left lower lobectomy for squamous cell carcinoma. In the first two episodes, a rim-enhancing left pleural effusion was...

Facial Soft-tissue Mobility
Background: The aims of this observational study were 2-fold: (1) To demonstrate a method and measures to quantify impaired facial soft-tissue movements in patients with facial paralysis; and (2) To quantify the differences in...

Levetiracetam-induced eosinophilic pneumonia.
Levetiracetam is widely regarded as a benign antiepileptic drug, compared to older antiepileptic medication. We report a case of eosinophilic pneumonia due to levetiracetam use in a non-smoking woman aged 59 years with no...

Identification of critical stacking faults in thin-film CdTe solar cells

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a p-type semiconductor used in thin-film solar cells. To achieve high light-to-electricity conversion, annealing in the presence of CdCl2 is essential, but the underlying mechanism is...

Elucidating the Mechanism of Fatigue Crack Acceleration Following the Occurrence of an Underload

Fatigue Crack Growth Rate (FCGR) is altered by a single anomalous load exceeding cyclic maximum (Overload) or compressive load below cyclic minimum (Underload). The authors study fatigue crack acceleration due to a single...

Lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy of IV-VI thin films on PbTe(001)
The chalcogenides of tin and lead (SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, and PbTe) have applications ranging from solar cells to thermoelectrics. Taking rocksalt structured PbTe(001) as the substrate, we explore the coherent...

A dynamic model for current-based nozzle condition monitoring in fused deposition modelling
Abstract: 3D printing and particularly fused deposition modelling (FDM) is widely used for prototyping and fabricating low-cost customised parts. However, present fused deposition modelling 3D printers have limited nozzle...

Stacking-dependent energetics and electronic structure of ultrathin polymorphic V2VI3 topological insulator nanofilms
Topological insulators represent a paradigm shift in surface physics. The most extensively studied Bi2Se3-type topological insulators exhibit layered structures, wherein neighboring layers are weakly bonded by van der Waals...
