Compositional Analysis of Transatlantic‐Era Glass Beads From Peki, Ghana: Provenance, Chronology, and Local Transformation of European Imports in the Gold Coast

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reports elemental analysis results of 51 glass beads from Peki, an inland transatlantic trade node in southeastern Ghana. Using laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), 91 compositional measurements were obtained, identifying three principal glass types: high‐soda, high‐lead, and potash‐lime glasses ...

Modeling and Mitigating Gas Hazards during Potash Mine Closure

open access: yesMining
The planned closure of potash mines achieved through the injection of highly mineralized brines into the worked-out area is a complex process. A critical concern arises when brines obstruct the aerodynamic connections between the flooded mine’s airspace ...

Preference‐performance relationship in the thistle tortoise beetle: Implications for its realised host range

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

On flood protection measures for potash mines

open access: yesJournal of Mining Institute, 2019
Development of water-soluble ore deposits is associated with the necessity to preserve water blocking strata (WBS), which separate aquifers from the mine gob. One indicator of the rate of man-induced load on WBS layers is subsidence of the earth surface, which defines the character of shift trough formation of the earth surface.

Do Rivals' Trade Secret Protections Affect a Firm's Trade Credit? Evidence From the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the staggered adoption of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD) across U.S. states, this study examines whether legal protection of trade secrets granted to a firm's rivals affects the firm's trade credit when it is not similarly protected.
