British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract This article revisits the view that UK business schools emerged as late and imitative responses to American models. Drawing on archival evidence and a longitudinal dataset of 130 institutions, it shows that the field developed incrementally from diverse origins, including mechanics’ institutes, civic universities, colleges of commerce and ...

Evaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces
International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2013 Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion.

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

An Improved Stiffness Model for Polyester Mooring Lines
Brodogradnja : An International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering for Research and Development, 2011 The stiffness model of highly extensible polyester mooring lines is studied. Mooring lines are considered within coupled dynamic model of a moored fl oating object. In more detail, deepwater mooring with taut polyester mooring lines is observed. In this case mooring line is modelled as an extensible cable without bending and torsional stiffness ...

The Origins of the Human Rights Act: A ‘British Bill of Rights’ the First Time Around
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article reconstructs the first initiatives for a British Bill of Rights from the late 1960s to the mid‐1980s and argues that their failure shaped the eventual form of the Human Rights Act. Proposals for a Bill of Rights emerged across the political spectrum, but commanded most support on the right as a means of restraining trade unions ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

Line digraphs and the Moore-Penrose inverse
Linear Algebra and its Applications, 1981 AbstractVarious characterizations of line digraphs and of Boolean matrices possessing a Moore-Penrose inverse are used to show that a square Boolean matrix has a Moore-Penrose inverse if and only if it is the adjacency matrix of a line digraph. A similar relationship between a nonsquare Boolean matrix and a bipartite graph is also given.

Framings of Intervention in Spain: From the Civil War to the Franco Dictatorship
History, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the role of foreign intervention in the Spanish Civil War, the word intervención rarely appeared in contemporary media and official discourse. This article examines the expressions that Republican and rebel authorities used to represent the presence of outside forces in Spain.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...
