The δ-MnO2 and Cu-doped δ-MnO2 grown on Ni foams are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method for supercapacitor electrode application. The samples are characterized by XRD, ICP-AES, SEM, and BET for its composition, structure/morphology, and BET surface area. The electrochemical properties...

Wikipedia, as a social phenomenon of collaborative knowledge creation, has been studied extensively from various points of view. The category system of Wikipedia, introduced in 2004, has attracted relatively little attention. In this study, we focus on the documentation of knowledge, and the...

This paper investigates the market microstructure of the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. The two major Chinese stock markets are pure order-driven trading mechanisms without market makers, and we analyze empirically both limit order books. We begin our empirical modeling using the vector...

We analyze high frequency trading (HFT) activity in equities during U.S. Treasury permanent open market (POMO) purchases by the Federal Reserve. We construct a model to study HFT quote and trade behavior when private information is released and confirm it empirically. We estimate that HFT firms...

A breakdown in market quality occurs when an order book thins to the point where extreme price movements are observed. These are frequently reversed as the market learns that nothing fundamental has occurred. The daily average breakdown frequency from 1993-2011 is 0.64%, with averages in 2010-11...
