We present a simple, fast, and robust method for automatic detection of P- and S-wave arrivals using a nearest neighbours-based approach. The nearest neighbour algorithm is one of the most popular time-series classification methods in the data mining community and has been applied to time-series problems in many different domains. Specifically, our method is based on the non-parametric time-ser…

This article reports on a survey of Swedish EFL teachers’ attitudes towards, and dependence on, ELT coursebook packages in the light of recent research into digital literacy. The results showed that while ICT is making massive inroads into language classrooms in technologically advantaged countries like Sweden, the coursebook package still has its place assured among trainee teachers, at leas…

We provide a brief introduction to the Oxford Review of Economic Policy�s issue on Food, which is concerned with the contemporary transformation of the global food and agriculture system

In this paper we argue for a new approach to monetary and fiscal policy. During the Great Moderation, the inflation targeting regime worked well. Central banks used the interest rate to stabilize inflation, and�subject to inflation being controlled�stabilized the level of demand. Fiscal policy exerted discipline over the public-sector deficits, thereby�indirectly�managing th…

To achieve a global brain circulation, many Latin American countries have incentivized training abroad and publishing in high impact factor journals. Such internationalization strategies are valuable, but we argue that a knowledge dialogue is a better model for global science to overcome North–South disparities and to achieve both excellence and relevance. Circulation implies transmitting int…

In this double issue of the Oxford Review of Economic Policy we publish a set of papers concerned with the mobilization of domestic and foreign capital in support of the United Nations� Sustainable Development Goals that were launched in September 2015. The papers were originally presented at a conference on �Financing for Development� organized by the International Monetary Fund…

Let f(x) = f(x1, . . . , x8) be an octonary cubic form with rational integral coefficients and nonzero discriminant. Then, on the assumption of a certain type of Riemann hypothesis, we showed in the first paper with the above title that the indeterminate equation f(l)=0 has a non-zero solution provided that f(x) conform to the (necessary) condition that it have a non-trivial zero in every p-ad…
