Speculation in the United Kingdom, 1785‒2019
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Speculation has long been thought to have significant economic effects, but it is difficult to measure, making it challenging to examine these effects empirically. In this paper we measure speculation in the United Kingdom since 1785 by using business and financial reporting in The Times newspaper.

Mapping High‐TDS Groundwater Near Impoundments Using Ground and Waterborne Towed Electromagnetics
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐term monitoring at landfills and impoundments containing coal combustion products (CCPs) or other industrial wastes is essential for detecting possible leachate releases to groundwater and mapping contamination plumes. This study evaluates a novel, non‐invasive geophysical approach—towed time‐domain electromagnetic (TEM) surveys—for non ...

Discovering the Familiar: Exploring Everyday Practice in the Design of Tools and Artefacts
International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.Abstract The design of everyday objects and artefacts, tools and technologies can prove particularly challenging for design. Their very pervasiveness, ease of application and seeming simplicity can mask the complex array of human practice, knowledge and skills that enables their use posing serious implications for critical design research and practice.
