Sediment gravity flows transport large volumes of sand and clay minerals into submarine systems, which store some the world's major reserves oil gas. However, knowledge about grain-coating mineral formation its role in preserving reservoir quality deep marine settings is poorly documented. Here we present a case study on Agat Formation, deposit interpreted as series turbidites, using multimetho...

The Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary in Oman is characterized by a globally correlative negative Ccarb excursion in platform carbonate rocks, and deposition of basinal organic-rich rocks. These observations may relate to the development of local, and possibly global, anoxia. We have studied redoxsensitive trace elements (TE) and REE from basinal and platform successions. Detrital input and authigeni...

This paper provides a new rationalization for deposit insurance and systemic disintermediations. I consider an environment in which borrowers face no penalty for failing to repay obligations except the loss of their collateral. I assume that this collateral has aggregate risk. For a subset of the exogenous parameters, I demonstrate that an optimal arrangement features deposit insurance. For a s...

Jones and Crowe (1) raise issues already addressed in our article (2) based on an inaccurate grasp of the literature and several logical misconceptions. The authors suggest that inputs we chose in our kinetic calculations are unsuitable because we used values only from the Black Sea. As described, we made an extremely conservative estimate because the Black Sea is the most rapid Mn-oxidizing en...

Using a database from post-communist, pre-deposit-insurance Russia, we demonstrate the presence of quantity-based sanctioning of weaker banks by both firms and households, particularly after the financial crisis of 1998. Evidence for the standard form of price discipline, however, is notably weak. Estimating the deposit supply function, we show that, particularly for poorly capitalized banks, i...

Magnesite deposits in the Central Western Carpathians belong among the biggest deposits in the Europe. Their today’s structure is mainly the result of the Alpine orogenesis. During this period several deformation stages were active, which deformed the deposit body. This resulted in today’s complicated structure of the deposit. The genesis of deposit is still ambiguous; however, the importance o...

The e-Deposit is a deposit that can be managed in electronic form. The concept of a fund accessible for different financial transactions makes the e-Deposit appropriate for use at universities. The application is implemented in three-tier architecture. Because of the extensive exchange of financial data over the internet, the data integrity is secured. The business and data access tier are impl...

There is an increased sophistication in the provision of financial services by UK financial mutuals. This paper presents evidence of a more complex process of price setting by these firms. From a theoretical model of the determination of deposit rates, the rate setting behaviour of firms is estimated empirically. Controlling for different service provision and firm characteristics heterogeneous...

U–Pb ages were obtained on single detrital zircon grains separated from six samples of Neoproterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic sedimentary and volcanosedimentary rocks from NW Iberia using the laser ablation microprobe-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LAM-ICP-MS) method. Precambrian greywackes yielded abundant zircons with Neoproterozoic (800–640 Ma) and Mesoproterozoic (0.9–1.2 Ga) ag...
