Central securities depositories and securities clearing and settlement: Business practice and public policy concerns by Alistair Milne

“…Liquidity demand and the complexity of some underlying transactions results in a surprisingly high volume of postponed settlements (trade fails). Systems of clearing and settlement were resilient during the crisis of 2008, but the remarkable complexity of these networks suggests two policy concerns that need further examination. …”

Should electric fans be used during a heat wave? by Oliver E. Jay, Matthew N. Cramer, Nicholas M. Ravanelli, Simon Hodder

“…A conceptual human heat balance model can be used to estimate the evaporative requirement for heat balance, the potential for evaporative heat loss from the skin, and the predicted sweat rate, with and without an electrical fan during heat wave conditions. Using criteria defined by the literature, it is clear that fans increase the predicted critical environmental limits for both the physiological compensation of endogenous/exogenous heat, and the onset of cardiovascular strain by an air temperature of ~3-4°C, irrespective of relative humidity (RH) for the young and elderly. …”
