Did the market signal impending problems at Northern Rock? An analysis of four financial instruments by Paul Hamalainen, Adrian Pop, Maximilian Hall, Barry Howcroft

“…Therefore, the paper’s findings contribute to the market discipline literature on using market data to identify bank risk-taking and enhancing supervisory monitoring. In addition, the paper tests for evidence of an implicit “too-big-to-fail” policy in UK banking. …”

Integration of geophysical methods for groundwater exploration in hard rock areas : application to Alla Valley, Eritrea, NE Africa by Bereket M. Derie

“…The integrated use of Electromagnetic Ground Conductivity, Ground Electrical Resistivity and Seismic Refraction geophysics methods was made in Alia valley, Eritrea for the aim of developing a methodology best suited for ground water exploration in hard rock areas with limited professional and financial resources. …”

Alpine landslide risk scenario: run-out modelling using a 3D approach by Daniela Codeglia, Neil Dixon, Giulia Bossi, Gianluca Marcato

“…Rockslides of considerable volume developing on the flanks of narrow alpine valleys represent a significant hazard for the potential of river damming and consequent sudden discharge of water. A limestone rock mass of about 650,000 m3 endangers a portion of the upper course of Tagliamento River valley in north-eastern Italy. …”

E. coli contamination of mountain springs used for drinking water and drilled well alternatives by Monica C. Resto, Michael F. MacCarthy, C.R. Dungan, B.L. Parker, J.A. Cherry

“…Such studies are rare, but recently a reconnaissance study was initiated in a watershed in the Dominican Republic where more than 25,000 people, spread out across small communities and one town, rely on mountain springs. E. coli testing shows many of these springs to be unsafe. …”

An experimental investigation into bearing‐induced spindle vibration by R. Aini, Homer Rahnejat, Ramsey Gohar

“…The frequency spectra obtained show bands of frequencies associated with the ball passage frequency. The spectra also include bounce and rocking vibration modes of the assembly, where the supporting bearings act as non‐linear springs. …”

Bridge in Nelson Mandela Park, Mamelodi, Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa by Fidel Thabang Mosupye

“…Green grass, litter, and pools of water surround the bridge. Cement and rock pillars surround the park. Cars, a taxi, an orange bus, and green trees are in the background.…”

An acoustic emission slope displacement rate sensor — case studies by Neil Dixon, Daniela Codeglia, Alister Smith, Gary Fowmes, Philip Meldrum

“…Applications in rock slopes are promising but further work is required to link detected AE to rock deformation mechanisms and hence to derive thresholds as a basis for early warnings.…”

Young people and contemporary politics: committed scepticism or engaged cynicism? by Dominic Wring, Matt Henn, Mark Weinstein

“…Hague, in a bid to make his age part of his appeal, has talked of a ‘fresh start’, worn a baseball cap and attended the Notting Hill carnival.…”
