To overcome the regulatory pitfalls, regulatory capacity and resources in financial markets governance need to be enhanced, not only at national but also at global levels. In order to shed light on policy issues and agendas in international financial policy cooperation, this paper focuses on the case of European financial integration and regulations. The analysis of policy developments at the European level in coordinating differing national interests, supervisory systems, and practices among EU member states highlights fundamental elements of global financial regulatory cooperation.

The use of recycled materials in asphalt mixtures such as reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) have become widely accepted as a replacement for virgin asphalt binder or virgin aggregates. In this study, the RAP content was 30%, and CR additives were blended with the soft unmodified binder by using dry processes. The objective of this study was to investigate and evaluate the engineering properties of dry method application of crumb rubber influences on reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures. To evaluate the effect of rubber-bitumen interaction on the mixture’s mechanical properties, a laboratory investigation has been conducted on a range of dense graded and 30% RAP by dry process crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt mixtures containing 0% (control), 1% crumb rubber by the total aggregate mass. The experimental program in this research include the binder extraction for estimating the amount of aged binder in the both fine and coarse RAP material. Before extracting the binder the RAP sieve analysis, have been done to provide the Black grading curve. In continue after the binder extraction the material sieved again to providing the white curve. The comparison of Black and White curve indicated that there is a remarkable difference between the aggregate grading even for the fine RAP. The experimental program was continued by fabricating 12 specimens in different 4 types of mixtures. For the first group no RAP, no rejuvenator and no crumb rubber were used. For the second group 30% of virgin aggregates substituted by RAP material and the third group was similar to the second group just with 0.01% rejuvenator. the forth group was the group, which in that the specimens contain RAP, rejuvenator and crumb rubber. Finally the specimens were tested for Indirect tensile strength. The results indicated that the addition of crumb rubber increased the optimum amount of binder in the mixture with 30% RAP.

The location of the seaward tip of a subduction thrust controls material transfer at convergent plate margins, and hence global mass balances. At approximately half of those margins, the material of the subducting plate is completely underthrust so that no accretion or even subduction erosion takes place. Along the remaining margins, material is scraped off the subducting plate and added to the upper plate by frontal accretion. We here examine the physical properties of subducting sediments off Costa Rica and Nankai, type examples for an erosional and an accretionary margin, to investigate which parameters control the level where the frontal thrust cuts into the incoming sediment pile. A series of rotary-shear experiments to measure the frictional strength of the various lithologies entering the two subduction zones were carried out. Results include the following findings: (1) At Costa Rica, clay-rich strata at the top of the incoming succession have the lowest strength (µres = 0.19) while underlying calcareous ooze, chalk and diatomite are strong (up to µres = 0.43; µpeak = 0.56). Hence the entire sediment package is underthrust. (2) Off Japan, clay-rich deposits within the lower Shikoku Basin inventory are weakest (µres = 0.13-0.19) and favour the frontal proto-thrust to migrate into one particular horizon between sandy, competent turbidites below and ash-bearing mud above. (3) Taking in situ data and earlier geotechnical testing into account, it is suggested that mineralogical composition rather than pore-pressure defines the position of the frontal thrust, which locates in the weakest, clay mineral-rich (up to 85 wt.%) materials. (4) Smectite, the dominant clay mineral phase at either margin, shows rate strengthening and stable sliding in the frontal 50 km of the subduction thrust (0.0001-0.1 mm/s, 0.5-25 MPa effective normal stress). (5) Progressive illitization of smectite cannot explain seismogenesis, because illite-rich samples also show velocity strengthening at the conditions tested.
