Many studies have shown that fish oil supplementation inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in mice and human subjects; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor plays an important role controlling expression of pro-inflammatory genes including TNF-alpha. Activation NF-kappaB has been to mediate maximal TNF-alpha monocytes. kept inactive form cytoplasm by IkappaB, inhibitory subunit complex. Phosphorylation...
Abstract We study whether board gender diversity ( BGD ) affects corporate risk strategies. Specifically, we investigate the association between and firms’ reputation financial risk. Using S&P data from 1997 to 2013, find that is negatively associated with tax avoidance, suggesting firms gender‐diverse boards are more cautious about potential risks aggressive However, positively The combined findings illustrate aligns a firm's exposure closer risk‐neutral shareholders’ preferences by...
Many efforts to improve science teaching in higher education focus on a few faculty members at an institution time, with limited published evidence attempts engage across entire departments. We created long-term, department-wide collaborative professional development program, Biology Faculty Explorations Scientific Teaching (Biology FEST). Across 3 years of FEST, 89% the department's completed weeklong scientific institute, and 83% eligible instructors participated additional semester-long...
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of tax planning and earnings management on informativeness book income taxable income. We conduct two sets tests documenting (1) incremental income, (2) relation between consistency book-tax difference The depends firm decisions regarding planning. Consistency is measured as standard deviation discretionary component Our results show that difference, a measure joint planning, related to persistence both has an information content JEL Classifications:...

Bloomberg and Briefing.com provide competing forecasts for prescheduled macroeconomic announcements. This study examines the accuracy of these market reactions to announcement surprises. Our results show that survey is slightly more accurate than survey. More importantly, although surprises based on both surveys have a significant effect trading activities returns S&P 500 futures contracts, subsumes explanatory power The findings suggest average are consistent with consensus view. In...
The idiosyncratic volatility anomaly, as first documented in Ang, Hodrick, Xing, and Zhang (2006), has received considerable attention the literature. In this paper, we examine pervasiveness of anomaly various stock samples provide evidence towards distinguishing potential explanations. Our results show that is a common phenomenon. It rather robust once exclude microcaps, defined Fama French (2008), or penny stocks (with prices below $5), month January, corroborating findings Doran, Jiang,...
Motivated by the theoretical results of Yee (2006), we extend empirical analysis Francis, LaFond, Olsson, and Schipper (2005) to test prediction that effect accruals quality on cost capital increases with fundamental risk. In asset pricing tests, find there is essentially no relation between as measured future return realizations for firms lowest contrast, highest risk, a strong realizations. Using earnings-price ratios average implied alternative measures capital, that, risk increases, has...
This paper examines the effect of income smoothing on information uncertainty, stock returns, and cost equity. I show that through both total accruals discretionary tends to reduce firms' as measured by return volatility, analyst earnings forecast dispersion, error. Further, provide evidence stocks firms are priced with a premium. Controlling for shocks other firm characteristics, have significantly higher abnormal returns around announcement. In addition, reduces implied equity or expected...
The effects of fish oil, which is rich in n–3 fatty acids, on cytokine levels a murine model acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were studied. Thirty-two C57BL/6 female mice divided into two dietary groups and fed either corn oil diet or diet. After 4 weeks, each group was further subgroups, one subgroup injected i.p. with LP-BM5 retrovirus (MAIDS) stock. all killed, blood samples collected, the spleens livers excised. Splenocytes isolated immediately cultured RPMI-1640 medium...
The existing literature shows that cross-sectional stock returns exhibit both price momentum and earnings momentum. In this paper, we examine whether commonly used style sector indexes also have patterns.We show strong momentum, but give little evidence of On the other hand, significant Moreover, provide in can be explained by individual return whereas is driven Finally, a dynamic strategy further enhance performance investment even after adjusting for transaction costs.
We examine the role of institutional investors underlying post–earnings-announcement drift (PEAD). Our results show that while generally herd on earnings news, such correlated trading among institutions does not eliminate or reduce market underreaction to surprises. Instead, PEAD is significant only in subsample stocks where same direction as In fact, herding also positively related next-quarter announcement returns. provide evidence against news largely driven by firm characteristics,...
This study investigates whether corporate climate risk is priced by the capital markets. Using carbon dioxide emission rates of publicly traded U.S. electric companies, we find that positively associated with cost measures, more specifically implied equity and debt. Additionally, debt investors evaluate differently. The results show decreases level intensity, suggesting value increase in efficiency resulting from current investments. also increases newness assets places. Newer equipment...
