TL;DR: This paper found that firms that face greater risk disclose more risk factors, and that the type of risk that a firm faces determines whether they devote a greater portion of their disclosures towards describing that risk type.
Abstract: Beginning in 2005, the SEC mandated firms to include a “risk factor” section in their Form 10-K to discuss “the most significant factors that make the company speculative or risky.” This suggests that regulators believe that investors benefit from disclosures about firm risk and uncertainties. Critics argue that the disclosures are qualitative and boilerplate, and thus uninformative. In this study, we examine the information content of this newly-created risk factor section and offer two main results. First, we find that firms that face greater risk disclose more risk factors, and that the type of risk that a firm faces (i.e. systematic, idiosyncratic, financial, legal, or tax) determines whether they devote a greater portion of their disclosures towards describing that risk type. In other words, managers provide informative risk factor disclosures. Second, we find that market participants incorporate the information conveyed by risk factor disclosures into their assessments of firm risk and stock price, and that the public availability of the disclosure decreases information asymmetry amongst firms’ shareholders. We are the first study to document that when managers increase negative/pessimistic qualitative disclosure, market-based measures of firm risk increase. These results provide further insight into the relationship between disclosure and firm risk, and may inform current policy decisions of the SEC.

TL;DR: A protein kinase that requires calcium but not calmodulin or phospholipids for activity has been purified from soybean and is established as a prototype for a new family of calcium-regulated protein kinases.
Abstract: Calcium can function as a second messenger through stimulation of calcium-dependent protein kinases. A protein kinase that requires calcium but not calmodulin or phospholipids for activity has been purified from soybean. The kinase itself binds calcium with high affinity. A complementary DNA clone for this kinase has been identified; it encodes a protein with a predicted molecular mass of 57,175 daltons. This protein contains a catalytic domain similar to that of calmodulin-dependent kinases and a calmodulin-like region with four calcium binding domains (EF hands). The predicted structure of this kinase explains its direct regulation via calcium binding and establishes it as a prototype for a new family of calcium-regulated protein kinases.

TL;DR: A system that combines the two processes resulted in a product that was more stable and consistent, had less potential impact on the environment and for compost-vermicomposting (CV) system, the product met the pathogen reduction requirements.
