Novel multipurpose timer for laboratories

Multipurpose digital delay timer simultaneously controls both a buffer pump and a fraction-collector. Timing and control may be in 30-second increments for up to 15 hours. Use of glassware and scintillation vials make it economical

Mobility Monitoring System For Ecological Studies

Radioactive-nuclide system automatically monitors animals in the field, using radioactive tracers affixed to the animals, Geiger-Muller tube radiation detectors, and event-recorders. Four animals can be monitored simultaneously within a 32-m circle, with each animal as far as 1 m from its associated detector

Foot-operated cell-counter

Cell-counter for cell indices consists of a footboard with four pressure sensitive switches and an enclosure for the components and circuitry. This device increases the operators efficiency by reducing the number of required hand movements

Why do Hurst exponents of traded value increase as the logarithm of company size?

The common assumption of universal behavior in stock market data can sometimes lead to false conclusions. In statistical physics, the Hurst exponents characterizing long-range correlations are often closely related to universal exponents. We show, that in the case of time series of the traded value, these Hurst exponents increase logarithmically with company size, and thus are non-universal. Moreover, the average transaction size shows scaling with the mean transaction frequency for large enough companies. We present a phenomenological scaling framework that properly accounts for such dependencies.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the International Workshop on Econophysics of Stock Markets and Minority Games, Calcutta, 200
