Hydraulic metaphor: A model of global and local connectivity
Dennis O. Flynn and Marie Lee
Trade histories normally focus on exports/imports between port cities, yet actual trade is (and always has been) far more complex than mere bilateral coast-to-coast exchange. While a particular hinterland may indeed produce a negligible proportion of a particular item, it is sometimes the case that combined hinterland output dominates. By the same token, relatively little of a commodity may end up in a single hinterland location, yet hinterland end-markets combined can dominate. Historical neglect of hinterlands is at least partly due to inadequacies inherent in conventional supply and demand concepts at the foundational building-blocks level of economic theory.

Food in Time and Place: The American Historical Association Companion to Food History
Paul Freedman, Joyce Chaplin, and Ken Albala
Food and cuisine are important subjects for historians across many areas of study. Food, after all, is one of the most basic human needs and a foundational part of social and cultural histories. Such topics as famines, food supply, nutrition, and public health are addressed by historians specializing in every era and every nation.
Food in Time and Place delivers an unprecedented review of the state of historical research on food, endorsed by the American Historical Association, providing readers with a geographically, chronologically, and topically broad understanding of food cultures—from ancient Mediterranean and medieval societies to France and its domination of haute cuisine. Teachers, students, and scholars in food history will appreciate coverage of different thematic concerns, such as transfers of crops, conquest, colonization, immigration, and modern forms of globalization.

Tug-of-war: Seeking help while playing an educational card game
Osvaldo Jimenez, Ugochi Acholonu, and Dylan Arena
This chapter examines motivational aspects that cause students to play educational games and learn their featured content, with particular emphasis on a card game called Tug-of-War. It begins with an overview of help-seeking in technical environments before turning to a discussion of an initial way to measure motivation to learn: by focusing on the type and amount of help students seek from others in the classroom while playing the game. It then describes the design and development of Tug-of-War and how it has improved learning outcomes with respect to traditional academic measures.

Inflammasomes and danger signals in the immune system
Hsin-Chih Lai, Mufadhal Al-Kuhlani, David M. Ojcius, and Matthew A. Pettengill
The innate immune system has evolved to recognize both pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs), which represent conserved microbial structures or generic markers of stress or damage, respectively, and to generate an appropriate response. One such response is the production of the critical cytokines interleukin-1β and interleukin-18, which follows incorporation of PAMP and DAMP signals, and requires the activation of protein complexes termed inflammasomes to generate mature cytokines.

Divination, Politics, and Ancient Near Eastern Empires
Alan Lenzi and Jonathan Stökl

Nine essays and an introduction engage biblical scholarship on the Prophets, Assyriology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the critical study of Ancient Empires.

Banking Law and Regulation
Michael P. Malloy
The second edition of this study, supplemented three times a year, brings into sharp focus a cascading series of events that have transformed the financial services industry in ways that would have seemed close to incredible when the first edition was published in 1994. Many dramatic developments in the twenty-first century have reshaped the regulation of banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial services firms. This exhaustive work provides discussion and analysis of financial services regulation, including extensive treatment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act—not just an isolated discussion of the Dodd-Frank Act but a fully integrated treatment of the impact of the act on all topics covered in this study. In addition, the work offers detailed discussion of all major regulatory developments of the past two decades, affecting regulatory structures, formation, branching, management, control transactions, corporate powers, securities regulation and securities activities, holding company activities, mergers and acquisitions, conversions, troubled and failing institutions, systemic risks, and international regulatory policy.

Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision: New Concepts and Challenges
Michael P. Malloy
Michael P. Malloy, Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision: New Concepts and Challenges, in Selected Legal Issues in Economics 11 (David A. Frenkel, ed., Athens Inst. for Educ. and Res. 2014).
This paper examines certain fundamental issues raised by the existence and application of the newly revised Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision. First, what expectations are imposed upon jurisdictions that adopt the Core Principles? Second, are the Core Principles an effective response to the international financial crisis? Third, what is the legal status of the Core Principles–mere guidelines, a significant new source of law in international practice, or something in between? The paper argues that the Core Principles represents a distinctive and highly effective approach to the coordination of legal norms across borders that, in the context of international banking practice, may operate as a set of functionally binding norms – and possibly a new source of law in international practice.

Shaping the root canal system to promote effective disinfection
Ove A. Peters and Frank Paque
Root canal shaping serves two main purposes in canal disinfection: direct mechanistic elimination of intracanal tissue and pathogens and providing optimal space for irrigant and medicament delivery. The process of root canal preparation should be considered a main driver of clinical success in endodontics. Mechanical canal preparation does not create contact with the full radicular surface and therefore all mechanical preparation is incomplete. Mechanical instrumentation, alone or in combination with an inert flushing solution such as saline, is effective in significantly reducing bacterial load. Two basic concepts govern a numerical approach to root canal shaping procedures: working length (WL) and apical size, recently also described as working width (WW). This chapter discusses the potential negative effects of shaping on disinfection and clinical data to support specific shaping paradigms.
