Recent research on the Book of Psalms has been dealing intensively with issues relating to its so called “final shape." Proceeding from, among others, an influential dissertation by Gerald H Wilson, scholars have argued that the collection, as it now stands, is “more than the sum of its parts” (so e.g. McCann). Although such a notion is fairly straight forward on a conceptual or general level, it

Localised deformation patterning in 2D granular materials revealed by digital image correlation

Tests have been performed on an analogue two-dimensional granular material in a special laboratory apparatus that allows the application of general stress or strain conditions. Digital image correlation of pairs of consecutive photographs taken during the tests has enabled fields of displacement and hence strain to be determined. Thus direct observation of internal displacements and strains has be

Walking the Walk: Inside Ownership and Selective Hedging

Firms’ derivative portfolios are largely unpredictable, in the sense that the previous year’s portfolio is a poor predictor of the current one. This unpredictability partly reflects a common corporate practice known as ‘selective hedging’, i.e. adjusting the timing and size of hedging programs bases on market views.
