Twenty-five years of review of financial economics: a bibliometric overview
No full textReview of Financial Economics, Volume 38, Issue 1, 1 January 2020, Pages 3-23.The Review of Financial Economics (RFE) has published empirical research covering all areas of financial economics since 1994. It celebrated its silver jubilee year of publishing in 2018. Using bibliometric techniques, we analyze the journal's impact, its prominent topics and most prolific authors including their affiliated institutions and countries. We also identify the bibliographic couplings of authors and their affiliated institutions and countries, co-citations of journals, and co-occurrences of the authors’ specified keywords. Our results show that about 83% of the published works receiving at least one citation between 1994 and 2018 and about 68% are co-authored. Among the important themes discussed in RFE, the words “stock”, “market,” and “risk” occupy central positions in RFE publications. Bibliographic coupling analysis identifies six clusters: (a) macroeconomic indicators, (b) investments, (c) financial institutions, (d) stock market, (e) corporate governance, and (f) corporate financial decisions
COVID-19, nationalism, and the politics of crisis: a scholarly exchange
No full textIn this article, several scholars of nationalism discuss the potential for the COVID-19 pandemic to impact the development of nationalism and world politics. To structure the discussion, the contributors respond to three questions: (1) how should we understand the relationship between nationalism and COVID-19; (2) will COVID-19 fuel ethnic and nationalist conflict; and (3) will COVID-19 reinforce or erode the nation-state in the long run? The contributors formulated their responses to these questions near to the outset of the pandemic, amid intense uncertainty. This made it acutely difficult, if not impossible, to make predictions. Nevertheless, it was felt that a historically and theoretically informed discussion would shed light on the types of political processes that could be triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, the aim is to help orient researchers and policy-makers as they grapple with what has rapidly become the most urgent issue of our times

A remarkably narrow RHESSI x-ray flare on 2011 September 25
No full textAstrophysical Journal, Volume 887, Issue 2, 20 December 2019, Article number 131.The unusually narrow X-ray source imaged with the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) during an impulsive spike lasting for ∼10 s during the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite C7.9 flare on 2011 September 25 (SOL2011-09-25T03:32) was only ∼2″ wide and ∼10″ long. Comparison with Helioseismsic and Magnetic Imager magnetograms and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly images at 1700 Å shows that the X-ray emission was primarily from a long ribbon in the region of positive polarity with little if any emission from the negative polarity ribbon. However, a thermal plasma source density of ∼1012 cm-3 estimated from the RHESSI-derived emission measure and source area showed that this could best be interpreted as a coronal hard X-ray source in which the accelerated electrons with energies less than ∼50 keV were stopped by Coulomb collisions in the corona, thus explaining the lack of the more usual bright X-ray footpoints. Analysis of RHESSI spectra shows greater consistency with a multi-temperature distribution and a low-energy cutoff to the accelerated electron spectrum of 22 keV compared to 12 keV if a single-temperature distribution is assumed. This leads to a change in the lower limit on the total energy in electrons by an order of magnitude, given the steepness of the best-fit electron spectrum with a power-law index of ∼6
Exploring the nature and synchronicity of early cluster formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud – IV.: Evidence for multiple populations in Hodge 11 and NGC 2210
No full textMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 486, Issue 4, 1 July 2019, Pages 5581-5599.We present a multiple population search in two old Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Globular clusters, Hodge 11 and NGC 2210. This work uses data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope from programme GO- 14164 in Cycle 23. Both of these clusters exhibit a broadened main sequence with the second population representing (20±~5) per cent forNGC2210 and (30±~5) per cent forHodge 11. In both clusters, the smaller population is redder than the primary population, suggesting CNO variations. Hodge 11 also displays a bluer second population in the horizontal branch, which is evidence for helium enhancement. However, even though NGC 2210 shows similarities to Hodge 11 in the main sequence, there does not appear to be a second population on NGC 2210's horizontal branch. This is the first photometric evidence that ancient LMC Globular clusters exhibit multiple stellar populations

Animal drop off table at Atlas Vet on H Street NE
No full textView of AtlasVet with a table set up to drop off animals in carriers for appointments and signs notifying temporary hours instructing customers on safety precautions. A sign on the table with large arrows reads 'Drop off table'. To the right of the table is a wooden statue of a dog with a sign around its neck reading 'AtlasVet has restricted access to support staff only STOP'. On the door are signs that read 'STOP', 'Thank you for being patient with our staff. And for giving your neighbors space', and 'Here for you appointment - please call us @ 202-552-8600 and press option 1'
