Revisiting the trading activity of high-frequency trading firms around ultra-fast flash events by Christophe Desagre, Floris Laly, Mikael Petitjean

“…Abstract We investigate high-frequency traders’ behavior in the context of the fastest and most extreme price movements (EPMs) that can be observed in the market, specifically ultra-fast flash events, challenging the methodologies employed in the academic and practitioner literature for identifying sudden liquidity black holes. To refine the price-shock identification methodology, we introduce a new approach called sequence-based flash events (SFEs), which relies on tick sequences instead of predetermined fixed-time intervals within which all flash events in the sample are assumed to occur. …”

Effects of Furrow Irrigation on the Growth, Production, and Water Use Efficiency of Direct Sowing Rice by Chunlin He

“…The improved WUE in the FI system is attributed to (1) a significant reduction of irrigation rate, seepage, evaporation, and evapotranspiration; (2) a significant reduction in the reduced materials, such as ferrous ion (Fe2+), and therefore an increase in the vitality of the root system, evident by the increases in the number of white roots by 32.62%, and decreases in the number of black roots by 20.04% and yellow roots by 12.58%; the use of the FI system may also reduce humidity of the rice field and enhance gas transport in the soil and light penetration, which led to reduced rice diseases and increased leaf vitality; and (3) increases in tiller and effective spikes by 11.53% and the weight per thousand grains by 1.0 g. …”
