International Portfolio Choice with Frictions: Evidence from Mutual Funds

Simon Tièche

Using data on international equity portfolio allocations by U.S. mutual funds, we estimate a portfolio expression derived from a standard mean-variance portfolio model extended with portfolio frictions. The optimal portfolio depends on the previous month a ...

A customized MOF-polymer composite for rapid gold extraction from water matrices

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun, Shuliang Yang, Jun Li, Li Peng, Olga Syzgantseva

With the fast-growing accumulation of electronic waste and rising demand for rare metals, it is compelling to develop technologies that can promotionally recover targeted metals, like gold, from waste, a process referred to as urban mining. Thus, there is ...

Actor neural networks for the robust control of partially measured nonlinear systems showcased for image propagation through diffuse media

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Navid Borhani, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Babak Rahmani, Ugur Tegin

The output of physical systems, such as the scrambled pattern formed by shining the spot of a laser pointer through fog, is often easily accessible by direct measurements. However, selection of the input of such a system to obtain a desired output is diffi ...

Impedance-Based Single-Cell Pipetting

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, David Vincent Bonzon, Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Georges Muller, Nicolas Jean Bernard Beuchat, Nicolas Uffer

Many biological methods are based on single-cell isolation. In single-cell line development, the gold standard involves the dilution of cells by means of a pipet. This process is time-consuming as it is repeated over several weeks to ensure clonality. Here ...

One-step access to N-enoxyimides by gold-catalysed addition of N-hydroxyimides to terminal alkynes

Nicolai Cramer, Coralie Danielle Annick Duchemin

N-Enoxyimides have become attractive substrates for novel catalytic transformations, yet their tedious multi-step synthesis hampers full exploitation of their synthetic potential. We report a gold(I)-catalyzed protocol to access N-enoxyimides from simple a ...

Deriving Brain Myelin Water Fraction Maps from Relaxometry: a Data-Driven Approach

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Gian Franco Piredda, Reto Meuli, Jonas Richiardi

Currently, one of the gold-standard methods to obtain brain myelin water fraction (MWF) maps is the multi-echo spin-echo sequence. To overcome some of its limitations (e.g. long acquisition times), a data-driven approach for deriving MWF maps is proposed h ...

Electrochemical Co-Deposition of Gold and Carbon Nanocapsules from a Colloidal Suspension

Stefano Mischler

This paper shows the preparation of a gold suspension containing carbon nanocapsules and their co-deposition from the colloidal galvanic bath on a nickel electrode to obtain gold/nanocapsules composite coatings. The incorporation of the nanocapsules was co ...

Rapid, Selective Extraction of Trace Amounts of Gold from Complex Water Mixtures with a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF)/Polymer Composite

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Natalia Gasilova, Daniel Teav Sun, Shuliang Yang

With the ever-increasing production of electronics, there is an ensuing need for gold extraction from sources other than virgin mines. Currently, there are no technologies reported to date that can effectively and selectively concentrate ultratrace amounts ...
