Shallow depth flow fields and low velocity magnitudes are often challenges for traditional velocity measuring instruments. As such, new techniques have been developed that provide more reliable velocity measurements under these circumstances. In the presen ...
The recent law and finance literature following Shleifer and Vishny (1997) and La Porta, Lopez-de Silanes, and Shleifer (1998) argues that the expropriation of minority shareholders by controlling shareholders is at the core of agency conflicts in most cou ...
This thesis discusses the difficulties of pricing real estate by using the existing financial economic theory and investigates an alternative approach in order to take into account the 'unique' nature of real estate risk. It consists of three essays placin ...
Financial flows are often treated in a fragmented and disconnected way from the physical product flow. Managers take decisions from an operational point of view concerning inventory, service level or capacity needs. The implementation of such decisions inf ...
In the standard real options approach to investment under uncertainty, agents formulate optimal policies under the assumptions of risk neutrality or perfect capital markets. However, in most situations, corporate executives face incomplete markets either b ...
This paper develops a framework for analyzing the impact of macroeconomic conditions on credit risk and dynamic capital structure choice. We begin by observing that when cash flows depend on current economic conditions, there will be a benefit for firms to ...

We address the maximization of a project’s expected net present value when the activity durations and cash flows are described by a discrete set of alternative scenarios with associated occurrence probabilities. In this setting, the choice of scenario-inde ...
Hydraulic jumps at the tail end of spillways are usually induced by baffle blocks or other obstacles. Such jumps can also be induced by jets that oppose the main flow. Another application is to back up turbidity currents in reservoirs by means of opposing ...
Herein, a study of combining refractive microlenses arrays and nanostructured antireflective surfaces is presented. Fabrication method is surveyed for obtaining the hybrid surface with functionalities of refractive and antireflective (high-transmissive) el ...
