Tracing the Nd isotope evolution of North Atlantic Deep and Intermediate Waters in the western North Atlantic since the Last Glacial Maximum from Blake Ridge sediments
No full textA high-resolution authigenic Nd isotope record has been extracted from the Fe–Mn oxyhydroxide fraction of drift sediments along the Blake Ridge in the North Atlantic. These sediments facilitate reconstruction of the timing and extent of major hydrographic changes in the western North Atlantic since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This is one of the few locations where sediments were deposited in the major flow path of the Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC), which transports North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) southward at the present day. The hydrodynamic setting, however, also causes problems. Authigenic Nd isotope compositions similar to the typical present-day NADW ?Nd value of ? 13.5 ± 0.5 were only extracted from sediments located within the main water body of the WBUC coinciding with the highest along slope current velocity below 3200 m water depth. Above this depth the authigenic Nd-isotopic composition is more radiogenic than measured in a nearby seawater profile and appears to be influenced by downslope and lateral sediment redistribution. Our data suggest that these radiogenic signals were formed at shallow depths in Florida current waters, compromising the recorded ambient deep water Nd isotope signal in the Blake Ridge Fe–Mn oxyhydroxide coatings from intermediate depths during the Holocene and the deglaciation.The unradiogenic Nd-isotopic composition typical of present-day NADW is not detectable along the Blake Ridge for any water depth during the LGM. Unlike the deglacial and Holocene sections, the intermediate core from 1790 m water depth did not experience significant sediment focusing during the LGM, in accord with the higher current velocities at this depth, suggesting that at this site an ambient LGM bottom water Nd isotope signal was recorded. Assuming this to be correct, our results indicate that the ?Nd of the shallower glacial equivalent of NADW, the Glacial North Atlantic Intermediate Water (GNAIW) may have been as radiogenic as ? 9.7 ± 0.4. Since the authigenic Nd isotope compositions of the Holocene and the deglacial sections of the intermediate depth sediment core were biased towards a shallow water signal, this first determination of a GNAIW ?Nd for the LGM will have to be corroborated by results from other locations and archives.The LGM and deglacial sediments below 3400 m water depth bear no evidence of an ambient deep water ?Nd as unradiogenic as ? 13.5. Although the deep core sites also experienced enhanced degrees of sediment focusing before the Younger Dryas, the ?Nd values of between ? 11 and ? 10 are more readily explained in terms of increased presence of Southern Source Waters. If this is the case, the change to Nd-isotopic compositions that reflect a modern circulation pattern, including the presence of Lower NADW, only occurred after the Younger Dryas
Recourse against Judgments in the Netherlands
No full textIn the 1980s, the Netherlands witnessed the start of a comprehensive programme of reform in the fields of judicial organisation and procedure. The reform programme consists of three stages, of which the first has now been completed. This has, amongst other things, resulted in the consolidation of several administrative procedures which were formerly adjudicated by different judicial bodies, in the Arrondissementsrechtbank. Consequently, the Arrondissementsrechtbank has obtained extensive administrative jurisdiction together with its jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases. As part of the reforms in the second stage, a bill has been submitted to Parliament which contains changes in the court structure. It is proposed to abolish the Kantongerecht and to reallocate its jurisdiction to the Arrondissementsrechtbank, transforming the latter court into a general first-instance court. In addition, the bill contains changes in the Code of Civil Procedure. In the present report the author discusses the current situation January 1998
RIVALS FOR POWER?
No full text: This is a study of Edward Blake and Alexander
Mackenzie, the two most important men in the Liberal
Party of Canada in the immediate post-Confederation
period. The difficulties faced by its leader, Alexander
Mackenzie, are studied, and particular examination is
made of Edward Blake’s reluctance to serve as a loyal
cabinet minister and subordinate of Mackenzie. The
general conclusion is that Edward Blake’s latent desire
to attain the party leadership was activated, fro 1 time
to time, by friends and/or ’intriguers', thus accounting
for the rather enigmatic behavior of Blake as he pursued
the position held by Mackenzie.ThesisMaster of Arts (MA

Bifurcation Routes in Financial Markets
No full textThe heterogeneity of expectations among traders introduces an important non-linearity into the financial markets. In a series of papers, Brock and Hommes, propose to model economic and financial markets as adaptive belief systems. Asset price fluctuations in adaptive belief systems are characterized by phases of close-to-the-fundamental-price fluctuations, phases of optimism where most agents follow an upward price trend, and phases of pessimism with small or large market crashes. In this paper will be discussed the EMH benchmark and forecasting rules of fundamentals and trend extrapolators. Some illustrative examples are supplied.heterogeneity of expectations, adaptive belief systems, forecasting rules, fundamentals, trend extrapolators equations, limit cycles, asymptotical stability
John Ploughman's Talk or Plain Advice for Plain People.
No full textI admit that I have read only two pages of this book (154-5). It seems a non-stop barrage of one-liners. The author does indeed, as the cover illustration suggests, take the bull by the horns! I picked the book up because its frontispiece of Aesop's fox and crow depicts the book's insight: The fox admires the cheese, not the raven (154). My two pages had lots of good zingers in them, like He who believes in promises made at elections has long ears, and may try to eat thistles. I suspect there are many more fable-related proverbs along the way in the book, but for now I will let someone else find them. This printing represents the 544th thousand.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)C.H. Spurgeo
