Connection and coherence between and among European instruments in the private international law of obligations
This article considers points of connection and coherence between and among the Rome I Regulation, the Rome II Regulation, and Regulation 1215, and relevant predecessor instruments. The degree of consistency in aim, design and detail of conflict of laws rules is examined, vertically (between/among consecutive instruments) and horizontally (across cognate instruments). Symbiosis between instruments is explored, as is the interrelationship between choice of court and choice of law. Disadvantaged parties, and the cohesiveness of their treatment under the Regulations, receive particular attention

Higher Order Bose-Einstein Correlations test the Gaussian Density Matrix Approach
A multiparticle system produced by a large number of independent sources is
described by a gaussian density matrix W. All theoretical approach to
Bose-Einstein Correlatios Cn in high energy physics use this form for W. One of
the most salient consequences of this form is the fact that all higher order
(n>2) moments of the current distribution can be expressed in terms of the
first two. We test this property by comparing the data on C2(Q^2), C3(Q^2) and
C4(Q^2) from pion-p and K-p reactions at 250 GeV/c with the predictions of a
general quantum statistical space-time approach. Even a simplified version of
such approach can account for the data. Previous attempts along these lines,
which did not use the space-time approach, met with difficulties.Comment: 17 pages (including one Table) and 2 figures. To appear in Physics

Integral correlation measures for multiparticle physics
We report on a considerable improvement in the technique of measuring
multiparticle correlations via integrals over correlation functions. A
modification of measures used in the characterization of chaotic dynamical
sytems permits fast and flexible calculation of factorial moments and cumulants
as well as their differential versions. Higher order correlation integral
measurements even of large multiplicity events such as encountered in heavy ion
collisons are now feasible. The change from ``ordinary'' to ``factorial''
powers may have important consequences in other fields such as the study of
galaxy correlations and Bose-Einstein interferometry.Comment: 23 pages, 6 tar-compressed uuencoded PostScript figures appended,

Divorcing Europe: reflections from a Scottish perspective on the implications of Brexit for cross-border divorce proceedings
This article addresses the implications of Brexit for cross-border divorce proceedings. It sets out the background to Brexit, and outlines the import of the Great Repeal Bill for private international law rules concerning matrimonial proceedings. The current constitutional position within the United Kingdom with regard to private international law is explored, and the existing law on cross-border divorce, as it applies to the different types of divorce proceedings which present in British courts, explained. The mapping of existing rules serves as an introduction to the main purpose of the article, which is to speculate and advise on post-Brexit regulation of cross-border matrimonial proceedings. To this end, the authors present a fictional dialogue which discusses the effect of converting Brussels II bis into UK law as part of the transfer of the acquis communitaire, and debates the respective merits, for the longer term, of the UK Government’s seeking to negotiate with the EU an agreement on private international law matters guaranteeing reciprocity, or of refining existing private international law rules contained in the Domicile and Matrimonial Proceedings Act 1973 and the Family Law Act 1986, so as to cater for ‘EU divorces’ in the same way as ‘non-EU’, international divorces
