چکیده
INCE Kerridge's incisive intervention into the field of agrarian history in his article of 1955 regarding the enclosure movement in the Tudor and early-Stuart period, anyone who ventures there must preface their remarks by acknowledgement of the force of Kerridge's argument. 1 As a result, little confidence may be retained in the basis of analysis of enclosure in that period the statistics which may be derived from the returns of the Inquisitions of Depopulation. At the beginning of the twentieth century Gay had made the task of analysing enclosure by these means his own preserve. Now, some 25 years have passed since Kerridge's article without any re-examination of his position, while at the same time commentators on the enclosure movement have largely failed to take account of his criticisms of such statistics. Here, I propose to make an initial contribution towards reinstating confidence in the value of the findings of the Inquisitions of Depopulation for agrarian history by focusing upon those returns of 1607. Throughout my own work on the agrarian policy of the Tudor and early-Stuart state, the nature and extent of enclosure, and on the Midlands Revolt of 1607, I have been forced to confront Kerridge's position in some detail. 2 For my immediate purposes it was '~ I would like to thank Dr A L Beier of Lancaster University, without whose encouragement I would not have been introduced to the substance of English agrarian history.

An Examination of the Relationship between Values at Risk and Expected Stock Return in Tehran’s Stock Exchange
Abstract The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between Value at Risk (VaR) and expected returns from 2002 to 2013 in Tehran’s Stock Exchange. In this study parametric value at risk, which considers the distribution of returns as normal and the historical value at risk as abnormal, was used to test the presence of the volatility anomaly in the companies listed i...

متن کاملCharacterization of unsteady double-diffusive mixed convection flow with soret and dufour effects in a square enclosure with top moving lid
The present study considers the numerical examination of an unsteady thermo-solutal mixed convection when the extra mass and heat diffusions, called as Soret and Dufour effects, were not neglected. The numerical simulations were performed in a lid-driven cavity, where the horizontal walls were kept in constant temperatures and concentrations. The vertical walls were well insulated. A finite vol...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluid in an inclined enclosure by applying LBM
Mixed convection of Cu-Water nanofluid is studied numerically in a shallow inclined enclosure by applying lattice Boltzmann method. The D2Q9 lattice and internal energy distribution function based on the BGK collision operator are used in order to develop the thermal flow field. The enclosure's hot lid has the constant velocity of U0 while its cold lower wall has no motion. Moreover, sidewalls ...
