Railway regulation in 19th Century Britain: the economic rationale and legacy of Gladstone and Chadwick
No full textThis paper examines the economic rationale of the ideas of Gladstone & Chadwick on railway regulation and the legacy of their ideas. In 1844 Gladstone proposed and implemented what we would now call price and quantity regulation whereas in 1859 Chadwick proposed competition "for the field", i.e. the establishment of a temporary monopoly or franchise, for a given period. The thinking of Gladstone had been influenced by the classical school of economic thought, most notably J R McCulloch, whilst Chadwick had ideas influenced by his association with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This ideas still impact today; the basic pattern of price and some quantity regulation inaugurated by Gladstone was not abolished until the 1960 Transport Act whilst Chadwicks idea of temporary licenses or franchises came back into vogue when the railways were privatised in 1997.Britain, nineteenth century, railway regulation, classical school, J R McCulloch, Edwin Chadwick, John Stuart Mill
The person in recovery from acute and severe psychosis: The role of dependency, self-criticism and efficacy
No full textThe role of 3 personality dimensions (i.e., dependency, self-criticism, and efficacy) in recovery from an acute and severe psychosis was examined. Conceptualizing psychosis as involving difficulties in establishing psychological boundaries, the authors hypothesized that dependency has a greater disruptive effect on recovery than self-criticism. Results of a reanalysis of longitudinal data (N = 76) of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders during recovery from acute psychosis were consistent with this hypothesis: Dependency predicted depressive and negative symptoms, and, under low efficacy, perceived loss of independence and insight into the presence of the illness. These findings elucidate the central role of interpersonal relatedness as a foundation for self-definition in recovery from psychosis
Writing and the rights of reality: usurpation and potentiality in Derrida, Plato, Nietzsche, and Beckett
No full textThe thesis critically evaluates Jacques Derrida's conferral of the rights of reality on writing, focussing on his theory of an arche-text in light of the speculative nature of this theory. The theory is initially considered in the context of Derrida's elucidation of the usurpatory status of writing within the Platonic and Nietzschean texts. This consideration reveals an admission of writing's usurpatory status by both writers while at the same time demonstrating their awareness of the intrinsically speculative nature of this view, the significance of writing lying in its ability to exteriorise the radically indeterminate status of consciousness m relation to reality rather than its ability to displace consciousness or reality The analyses, therefore, not only bring the Derridean hypothesis of a repressive or phonocentric metaphysical episteme into question but also exhibit the historical and philosophical role of potentiality in relation to writing, writing's ultimate significance lying in its capacity to exteriorise our existence as a mode of potentiality. Accordingly, in the second half of the thesis the Derridean theory of writing is countered with a specifically Aristotelian theory of the text as it is exhibited in the prose of Samuel Beckett, an author whose significance lies in his close alignment with Derridean theory within contemporary criticism. It is demonstrated that this identification has obviated an awareness of the significance of potentiality within the Beckettian text, his work consequently being appraised in the previously neglected context of Aristotelian metaphysics

Secure Role-based Messaging
No full textThis paper describes a secure role based messaging system design based on the use of X.509 Attribute Certificates for holding user roles. Access to the mes-sages is authorised by the PERMIS Privilege Management Infrastructure, a pol-icy driven role based access control (RBAC) infrastructure, which allows the assignment of roles to be distributed between trusted issuing authorities, and allows a change of access control policy at runtime. Messages can be sent by roles and users, and can be sent to roles and users. Messages are secure in their exchange between senders and recipients. Details of the security and messaging design are presented

Influence of urban river restoration on nitrogen dynamics at the sediment-water interface - Fig 4
No full textAverage NO3- fluxes (μg N m-2 sec-1) among a) the study rivers (restored and unrestored combined) and between (b) the combined restored and unrestored reaches from all London rivers. Columns represent average values (N = 12–20) + one standard error. Both physical disturbance (T = 0–3 minutes) and biogeochemical activity (T = 3–10 minutes) are presented in each panel. There was no significant difference in NO3- fluxes between rivers. However, there was a significant regeneration of NO3- from sediment in unrestored sites over the 0–3 minutes period, but not difference between fluxes at 3–10 minutes. Positive flux values represent uptake/removal of nutrients from the water column and negative flux values represent release of nutrients from the sediment (regeneration).</p
