Chinese Insolvency Law Lacks Teeth
The speed by which China has moved towards a market economy
has not been accompanied by a similar development of its judiciary
system. Since the early 1990s, foundational national legislation
with a direct effect on firms, such as laws dealing with contract,
investment, liability and insolvency have b

Topological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions
The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are
considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the
dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric
fields in four dimensions.Comment: 7 page

New Measurements and Quantitative Analysis of Electron Backscattering in the Energy Range of Neutron Beta-Decay
We report on the first detailed measurements of electron backscattering from
plastic scintillator targets, extending our previous work on beryllium and
silicon targets. The scintillator experiment posed several additional
experimental challenges associated with charging of the scintillator target,
and those challenges are addressed in detail. In addition, we quantitatively
compare the energy and angular distributions of this data, and our previous
data, with electron transport simulations based on the Geant4 and Penelope
Monte Carlo simulation codes. The Penelope simulation is found globally to give
a superior description of the data. Such information is crucial for a broad
array of weak-interaction physics experiments, where electron backscattering
can give rise to the dominant detector-related systematic uncertainty.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
