L'ammortamento alla francese: una questione di trasparenza

2023

Il saggio esamina i numerosi problemi posti dal c.d. metodo di ammortamento alla francese per osservare che buona parte dei problemi dibattuti sorgono dal difficile dialogo tra giuristi e matematici finanziari. Sotto il profilo giuridico rileva, in particolare, che l’ammor- tamento alla francese pone soprattutto problemi di trasparenza delle condizioni contrattuali e di comprensione, da parte del cliente, delle modalità di rimborso del capitale mutuato e dell’entità del debito residuo. The essay examines some problems posed by the so-called French amortization method to observe that most of the debated problems arise from the difficult dialogue between jurists and financial mathematicians. …

A microscopic monomeric mechanism for interpreting intrinsic optical bistability observed in Yb3+-doped bromide materials

2004

We present a mechanism able to show intrinsic bistable behaviour involving single Yb3+ ions embedded into bromide lattices, in which intrinsic optical bistability (IOB) has been observed. The mechanism is based on the experimentally found coupling between the Yb3+ ion and the totally symmetric local mode of vibration of the [YbBr6]3- coordination unit. The model reproduces the IOB observed in CsCdBr3:1% Yb3+ and allows to understand the experimentally found presence of the phenomenon in the other bromides, but its absence in Cs3Lu2Cl9:Yb3+.

Transport properties of Nb/PdNi bilayers

2006

The transport properties of superconductor/weak ferromagnet Nb/Pd86Ni14 sputtered bilayers have been studied. The critical thickness needed for superconductivity to develop is determined from the dependence of the transition temperature T-c on d(Nb). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Integrazione di celle fotovoltaiche ibride nel vetromattone

2012

L’invenzione riguarda l’integrazione del vetromattone con celle solari ibride (organiche/inorganiche), conosciute come Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC). La combinazione del vetromattone con le DSC consente di migliorare le prestazioni del prodotto originario rendendolo in grado di produrre energia pulita. Le caratteristiche di trasparenza e isolamento termo-acustico del prodotto possono essere regolate agendo sulla configurazione delle DSC. Il prodotto può essere assemblato a formare pannelli fotovoltaici per la realizzazione di facciate traslucide energeticamente “attive” in varie condizioni luminose (condizioni di luce diffusa o artificiale) e indipendentemente dall’angolo di radiazione so…

Transparencia y nuevas tecnologías en las Cooperativas de crédito

2004

An international reaction was required to the financial scandals of recent years, and some States started to reform corporate governance. Two main systems were used – self-regulation through good governance codes, and legislative measures to achieve transparency in financial markets. The principle of transparency is based on two premises – corporate governance and business information in the framework of new technologies. This study analyses the enforcement of the new Spanish legislation on transparency in credit cooperatives from a dual perspective – that of organisational structure, and members’ rights to information and the use of new technologies.

Double non-taxation and the use of hybrid entities

2017

La tesis analiza la interacción entre la doble no imposición y el uso de entidades híbridas dentro del contexto internacional, lo que incluye la aplicación de tratados internacionales para evitar la doble imposición. En este sentido, y contrariamente a la opinión mayoritaria de la doctrina fiscal internacional, el autor argumenta que la doble no imposición debería ser entendida de acuerdo a su naturaleza de resultado, es decir, no debería considerarse per se como un problema internacional ni menos utilizarse como un elemento fundamental en el diseño de normas específicas anti-híbridos. De la misma manera, y contrariamente a la tendencia internacional en cuanto a alinear resultados tributari…

Mitomycin C bei oberflächlichen Hornhautablationen mit dem Excimer-Laser: Eigene Erfahrungen und Literaturübersicht

2005

Haze formation with loss of corneal transparency and surface irregularities and myopic regression are the major complications after corneal refractive surface surgery. The use of mitomycin C (MMC) with its antibiotic and antineoplastic properties is intended to inhibit wound healing mechanisms leading to subepithelial fibrosis. We report the use of MMC to achieve visual rehabilitation in the re-treatment of 3 eyes of 2 patients following refractive corneal surgery. According to the literature, the local use of MMC 0.02 % for 2 minutes is safe and enables one to treat and prevent stromal haze and myopic regression and allows a reduction of the postoperative topical pharmacotherapy. Results a…

The Euro and Monetary Policy Transparency

2002

This paper focuses on a possible explanation for the weakness of the euro, namely the lack of transparency of the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy. In order to obtain a time-varying measure of monetary policy uncertainty in both the U.S. and Euroland, we estimate a Stochastic Volatility model using policy-adjusted short-term interest rates. We also analyze directly the impact of higher uncertainty on the euro-dollar exchange rate. The empirical findings are in line with those of other studies, and show that the U.S. Fed is more transparent than the ECB. This results in higher volatility of European interest rates, capital outflows, and a weaker euro vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar.

Benefits and drawbacks of communication visibility : from vicarious learning and supplemental work to knowledge reuse and overload

2022

Purpose This study aims to examine some of the benefits and drawbacks of communication visibility. Specifically, building on communication visibility theory, the authors study how and why message transparency and network translucence may increase knowledge reuse and perceived overload through behavioral responses of vicarious learning and technology-assisted supplemental work. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on survey data obtained from 1,127 employees of a global company operating in the industrial machinery sector, the authors used structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model. Findings The results demonstrate that the two aspects of communication visibility yield somew…
