Resolution of electrical imaging of fluid movement in landfills
No full textThis paper investigates the efficacy of time-lapse electrical imaging using surface electrodes to monitor the movement of leachate within a landfill. A laboratory-based study allowed direct comparison between observed physical dewatering and time-lapse electrical imaging data. In combination with a forward modelling study this demonstrated the limitations and advantages of this geophysical technique in terms of its applicability, resolution and complementarity to conventional dewatering monitoring techniques. It also confirmed the nature, likely magnitude and impact of artefacts created by the resistivity inversion process and highlighted the potential for misinterpretation of results. An 18-month study provided field results comparing hydrogeological and imaging data during the dewatering of a real landfill system. Insights gained from the laboratory study and forward modelling exercise greatly enhanced the interpretation of the field data, enabling the method to be applied with greater confidence in the future. The need to combine a forward modelling exercise with any interpretation of resistivity data is clearly demonstrate
Wielding Occam's razor: pruning strategies for economic loss
No full textThe English Court of Appeal is currently faced with three analytically distinct approaches to the question of when one party owes another a duty of care in respect of her economic interests, all of which bear the authority of the House of Lords. Unable to choose between them, it has recently adopted a fourth approach combining which combines them, in the apparent belief that the combination will eradicate any individual deficiencies. Against the background of a recent case, the author argues that this is a holding strategy at best and methodologically deficient. He also challenges the continuing lip-service paid by courts to models of liability based upon ‘assumptions of responsibility,’ examining and criticising the causes of their persistence in the law in the face of widespread academic criticism. Instead, the author argues, the House of Lords should now clearly endorse a single reasoning strategy to economic loss cases based on the three-stage approach in Caparo Industries v Dickman. Properly understood, this approach offers the best prospect of facilitating consistent and transparent decision-making in the longer term

Castiarina lycida Barker, new species
No full textCastiarina lycida Barker, new species (Figs 1 h, 2 h) Type material: Holotype male, 43 km W Mitchell, Qld, 19.x. 2000, on Hakea flowers, S. Barker & M. Powell, SAMA I 21 707. Size. Holotype, 11.8 x 4.0 mm. Female unknown. Description. Colour: Head dark blue with yellow reflections, mouthparts blue. Antennomeres: 1–2 blue, 3–11 bluegreen. Pronotum dark blue medially, lighter blue laterally. Scutellum black. Elytra redbrown with narrow blue narrow basal margin, black mark along suture gradually widening towards apex, expanded into preapical mark covering apex and spines. Ventral surface indigo. Legs blue. Setae silver. Shape & Sculpture: Head closely punctured, deep median sulcus, moderately elongate mouthparts. Antennomeres: 1–3 obconic: 4–11 triangular. Pronotum closely punctured, anterior margin projecting medially, basal margin slightly bisinuate, with deep basal fovea each side at basal angle, impunctate median line from base to apex, laterally angled outwards from base, rounded before middle, tapered to apex. Scutellum scutiform, medially indented, impunctate. Elytra costate, intervals 3, 5, 7, 9 from suture raised, laterally rounded outwards from base, rounded at humeral callus, concave, then rounded medially and narrowed to bispinose apex, apical spine large, and blunt, sutural spine small, acute, margin rounded and indented between spines. Ventrally with shallow punctures, margins of abdominal segments glabrous, sparse, short setae, meso and metasternal areas inflated. Legs: tarsal claws elongate. S 7 truncate in male. Aedeagus: Parameres elongate, rounded apically; penis blunt (Fig. 1 h). Remarks. This species is the only costate lycid mimic that has a relatively unsculptured pronotum, it belongs in the C. delta (Thomson) species group. Distribution. Only known from the type locality west of Mitchell, Queensland. Etymology. The species is named after its model Metriorrhynchus sp. (Lycidae: Coleoptera).Published as part of Barker, Shelley, 2005, Nine new species of Castiarina Gory & Laporte, 1838 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), pp. 57-68 in Zootaxa 1062 on pages 62-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27327
