In this paper I studied the optimal mechanism in selling information to decision makers with private prior knowledge about the payoff relevant state. When the underlying decision problem has a continuum of actions, the optimal mechanism will be a continuum menu of experiments with decreasing...

Women's participation rate in the high-growth entrepreneurship has been consistently lower than in other high-skilled jobs for previous decades. This paper aims to explain this unique persistent gender gap in both the US venture capital industry and the US entrepreneurial activities from the...

The entrepreneurial financing process is essentially a two-sided matching process between investors and startups. This paper implements two symmetric incentivized resume rating (IRR) experiments with real US venture capitalists and US startup founders to elicit their preferences for potential...

The size effect of the dielectric properties and the barrier height was investigated in the ferroelectric solid solution Ba<Subscript> x </Subscript>Sr<Subscript>1−x </Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> system. The decrease of the grain size causes the suppression of the ferroelectricity, and the increase of the relaxation frequency. Barrier heights increase...</subscript></subscript></subscript>

In this study, FeNi<Subscript>3</Subscript>/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subs cript> core-shell nanocomposites, where individual FeNi<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanoparticles were coated with a thin layer of alumina, were fabricated by a modified sol-gel method. Several physical characterizations were performed on the samples of FeNi<Subscript>3</Subscript>/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subs cript> nanocomposites with different...<//subs></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript><//subs></subscript></subscript></subscript>

We have demonstrated a simple and universal morphology-controlled growth of 2D ordered Fe/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> magnetic nanodots array, which was based on 2D colloidal monolayer template composed of polystyrene (PS) spheres and one-step sol-gel spin-coating technique. The Fe/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanodots have a well-ordered...</subscript></subscript>
