The role of international law in US foreign policy decision-making intervention in Grenada & Nicaragua
Creators: name: Jenab, Zahra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Relations among states are permeated by basic legal concepts which comprise the international legal system. The existence of this system helps maintain some level of international order. So long as states feel that it is in their interest to act according to the norms of international law, order is preserved. When a state believes, however, that it is to its advantage to disrupt the order, then the international legal system can do very little to prevent that state from acting contrary to the norm and, for instance, resorting to the use of force to achieve its goal. The actions of the United States, as a major power, are very significant in this respect since many smaller countries look at the United States as a role model. Yet, in many cases, the United States has acted in a manner which seems to contradict the established norms of international law. To determine to what extent international law is a factor in US policy making, it is best to focus on the relations of the US with countries of one specific region in order to avoid sweeping generalizations. The relationship of the US with Central American countries has always been a matter of controversy because the United States sees itself as the protector of these states. On numerous occasions, the US has intervened (directly and indirectly) in Central America to secure its own perceived interests. Two of the most recent examples of US intervention occurred during the Reagan Administration. They are: the 1983 invasion of Grenada, and intervention in Nicaragua from 1981 to 1984. After the decisions to intervene were made, United States' officials offered legal justifications for their actions. A close look at these explanations, however, reveals that the Reagan Administration was not truly concerned with the norms and principles of international law. The Administration believed that it had the military and political power to circumvent into international legal obligations without the fear of sanctions. The real rationale for the interventions lies in the fact that the US had the opportunity to try to overthrow an adversarial regime which was seen as a threat to hemispheric security and solidarity.

Minimal Flavour Violation Waiting for Precise Measurements of Delta M_s, S_{psi phi}, A^s_SL, |V_ub|, gamma and B^0_{s,d} -> mu+ mu-

description: We emphasize that the recent measurements of the B^0_s - bar B^0_s mass difference Delta M_s by the CDF and D0 collaborations offer an important model independent test of minimal flavour violation (MFV). The improved measurements of the angle gamma in the unitarity triangle and of |V_ub| from tree level decays, combined with future accurate measurements of Delta M_s, S_{psi K_S}, S_{psi phi}, Br(B_{d,s} -> mu+ mu-), Br(B -> X_{d,s} nu bar nu), Br(K+ -> pi+ nu bar nu) and Br(K_L -> pi^0 nu bar nu) and improved values of the relevant non-perturbative parameters, will allow to test the MFV hypothesis in a model independent manner to a high accuracy. In particular, the difference between the reference unitarity triangle obtained from tree level processes and the universal unitarity triangle (UUT) in MFV models would signal either new flavour violating interactions and/or new local operators that are suppressed in MFV models with low tan(beta), with the former best tested through S_{psi phi} and K_L -> pi^0 nu bar nu. A brief discussion of non-MFV scenarios is also given. In this context we identify in the recent literature a relative sign error between Standard Model and new physics contributions to S_{psi phi}, that has an impact on the correlation between S_{psi phi} and A^s_SL. We point out that the ratios S_{psi phi}/A^s_SL and (Delta M_s)/(Delta Gamma_s) will allow to determine (Delta M_s)/(Delta M_s)^SM. Similar proposals for the determination of (Delta M_d)/(Delta M_d)^SM are also given.

By-Employments in Early Modern England and Their Significance for Estimating Historical Male Occupational Structures

Occupational structure

description: Based on the evidence from probate inventories, by-employments have generally been presumed ubiquitous amongst early modern Englishmen. This would appear to present a significant problem for estimates of the contemporary male occupational structure, since the sources on which these estimates are based describe men almost always by their principal employment only. This paper argues that this problem is vanishingly small, for three reasons. Firstly, the probate inventory evidence is shown to exaggerate the incidence of by-employments by a factor of two, as a consequence of its inherent wealth bias. Secondly, it is demonstrated that even after wealth-bias correction, the probate record greatly overstates by-employment incidence as most of the traces of subsidiary activities in the inventories actually point to the employments of other members of the household, not to by-employments of the inventoried male household head. Thirdly, even if one ignored this and assumed that they did, in fact, point to his by-employments, they are shown to have been relatively small in economic importance compared to the principal employment, and to necessitate only a very minor adjustment of the principal-employment-only male occupational structure.

Σε 25 ανθρώπινους οσφυϊκούς σπονδύλους με Μ.Ο. BMD 0.939 gr/cm(2) τοποθετήθηκαν διαχευνικοί κοχλίες τύπου Moss. Στον ένα αυχένα ο οπίσθιος φλοιός και το υποχόνδριο οστούν αντίστοιχα με το σημείο εισόδου του κοχλία αφαιρέθηκαν πριν την τοποθέτηση αυτού, ενώ στον ετερόπλευρο αυχένα διατηρήθηκαν. Ο πειραματικός έλεγχος έδειξε ότι η μέγιστη δύναμη ελκυσμού για τους κοχλίες που τοποθετήθηκαν μετά από αφαίρεση του οπισθίου φλοιού και του αντιστοίχου υποχονδρίου οστού ήταν κατά Μ.Ο. 956.16Ν έναντι 1295.64Ν μετά από διατήρησή του. Η μέση αύξηση ήταν 339.48Ν(26.13%), (ρ=0.033). Η οστική πυκνότητα έχει υψηλή στατιστική συσχέτιση με επιτυγχανόμενη μέγιστη δύναμη ελκυσμού. Τα αποτελέσματα μας κατέδειξαν ότι η διατήρηση του οποισθίου φλοιού και του υποκείμενου υποχονδρίου οστού αντίστοιχα με το σημείο εισόδου του διαυχενικού κοχλία επιφέρουν σημαντική αύξηση της δύναμης ελκυσμού. Φαίνεται ότι τούτο οφείλεται στη συγκράτηση των τελευταίων σπειρών του διαυχενικού κοχλία στο πυκνότερα οστούν του ραχιαίου φλοιού και το αντίστοιχο υποχόνδριο οστούν όταν αυτά διατηρούνται. Κατά συνέπεια, κάθε προσπάθεια πρέπει να γίνεται, ώστε να διατηρηθεί ο οπίσθιος φλοιός κατά την τοποθέτηση των διαυχενικών κοχλιών
description: The aim of this biomechanical study to investigate the role of the dorsal vertebral cortex in transpedicular screw purchase. Twenty-five human vadaveric vertebrae were instrumented with Moss transpedicular screws in both pedicles of each vertebra. The dorsal vertebral cortex and subcortical bone corresponding to the screw entrance site were removed on one side, while on the contralateral side they were preserved prior to screw insertion. Biomechanical testing showed that peak pullout strength for screws inserted following removal of the dorsal cortex averaged 956.16N, vs 1295.64N if it was preserved. The average increase was 339.48N(26,13%), (p=0.033). BMD highly correlated with peak pull out strength. Our findings suggest that preservation of the dorsal vertebral cortex at the screw insertion site offers a significant increase of the peak pullout strength. This appears to result from engagement by the final screw threads of the denser bone of the dorsal cortex and the underlying subcortical area when those are preserved. Every effort should therefore be made to preserve the dorsal vertebral cortex and the underlying subcortical area when those are preserved. Every effort should therefore be made to preserve the dorsal vertebral cortex during transpendicular screw insertion

description: We revisit the arguments underlying two well-known arrival-time distributions in quantum mechanics, viz., the Aharonov-Bohm and Kijowski (ABK) distribution, applicable for freely moving particles, and the quantum flux (QF) distribution. An inconsistency in the original axiomatic derivation of Kijowski's result is pointed out, along with an inescapable consequence of the "negative arrival times" inherent to this proposal (and generalizations thereof). The ABK free-particle restriction is lifted in a discussion of an explicit arrival-time setup featuring a charged particle moving in a constant magnetic field. A natural generalization of the ABK distribution is in this case shown to be critically gauge-dependent. A direct comparison to the QF distribution, which does not exhibit this flaw, is drawn (its acknowledged drawback concerning the quantum backflow effect notwithstanding).

description: This paper investigates the territorial implications of social innovation and co-production of services in strategic spatial planning. It focuses on the regeneration of Toplocentrala, a socialist heritage building in Sofia that has been transformed into a regional centre for contemporary arts, within the context of the AGORA project’s strategic planning process. The research aims to enhance our understanding of the role of public action in social innovation and the need to redefine collaborative practices within institutional frameworks to promote innovation. A multi-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative data was employed, including site visits, interviews with key stakeholders, and secondary data analysis. The study highlights how strategic spatial planning processes involving social innovation and co-production of services can reshape the relationship between the state and civil society.

description: Binary neutron star (NS) mergers have been expected to synthesize r-process elements and emit radioactively powered radiation, called kilonova. Although r-process nucleosynthesis was confirmed by the observations of GW170817/AT2017gfo, no trace of individual elements has been identified except for strontium. In this paper, we perform systematic calculations of line strength for bound-bound transitions and radiative transfer simulations in NS merger ejecta toward element identification in kilonova spectra. We find that Sr II triplet lines appear in the spectrum of a lanthanide-poor model, which is consistent with the absorption feature observed in GW170817/AT2017gfo. The synthetic spectrum also shows the strong Ca II triplet lines. This is natural because Ca and Sr are co-produced in the material with relatively high electron fraction and their ions have similar atomic structures with only one s-electron in the outermost shell. The line strength, however, highly depends on the abundance distribution and temperature in the ejecta. For our lanthanide-rich model, the spectra show the features of doubly ionized heavy elements, such as Ce, Tb and Th. Our results suggest that the line forming region of GW170817/AT2017gfo was lanthanide-poor. We show that the Sr II and Ca II lines can be used as a probe of physical conditions in NS merger ejecta. Absence of the Ca II line features in GW170817/AT2017gfo implies that the Ca/Sr ratio is < 0.002 in mass fraction, which is consistent with nucleosynthesis for electron fraction >= 0.40 and entropy per nucleon (in units of Boltzmann constant) >= 25.

Through the research produced, the need for introducing an open architecture standard containing as much as possible any type of spatial information, sourcing from, or sinking to, traffic models during traffic assignment executions, is proved to be of primary importance. These standards, implemented as geographic data bases way contribute to the integration of any type of software that makes use of spatial information with transport-related nature

description: Supply chain disruptions with an unpredictable occurrence such as significant differences between forecasts and actual customer demands are challenging for semiconductor manufacturers. Normally, these events are responded to with a time-consuming mostly manual procedure. This work describes an approach for an automated framework to react faster and with less effort on these unpredictable events. Within this frame-work simulation is necessary for the evaluation of automated decisions. Therefore, a discrete event simula-tion and a simulation based on a system dynamics approach have been combined. As a result of this framework’s approach, safety stocks can be reduced due to a more accurate cycle time prediction and a reduced number of false alarms regarding supply chain disruptions.

description: This dissertation examines the behaviour of semi-rigid joints and its purpose is twofold : it intends to provide a reason for their existence, and examine their effects on the structural response of steel structures of which these joints form part. The methodology that was carried out is as follows : a set of three frames whose only difference is the type of joint used in them is analyzed and designed. Three types of joints are used : rigid, semi-rigid and hinged. After the analysis and design is complete, the double-sided semi-rigid joint in the first storey of the corresponding frame is isolated and the analytical procedure for determining the rotational stiffness, the design monent resistance and the classification according to the Annex j of Eurocode 3 is performed. Following this, a fine meshed three-dimensional finite element model is developed to descibe this specific joint. Based on this model, a series of parametric analyses is conducted. Finally, a comparison between the Eurocode 3-Annex J predictions and finite element model result is undertaken, before the presentation of general conclusions on the positive influence of the semi-rigid joints on reducing the cost of the structures

description: A distributed system consisting of a huge number of computational entities is prone to faults, because faults in a few nodes cause the entire system to fail. Consequently, fault tolerance of distributed systems is a critical issue. Checkpoint-rollback recovery is a universal and representative technique for fault tolerance; it periodically records the entire system state (configuration) to non-volatile storage, and the system restores itself using the recorded configuration when the system fails. To record a configuration of a distributed system, a specific algorithm known as a snapshot algorithm is required. However, many snapshot algorithms require coordination among all nodes in the system; thus, frequent executions of snapshot algorithms require unacceptable communication cost, especially if the systems are large. As a sophisticated snapshot algorithm, a partial snapshot algorithm has been introduced that takes a partial snapshot (instead of a global snapshot). However, if two or more partial snapshot algorithms are concurrently executed, and their snapshot domains overlap, they should coordinate, so that the partial snapshots (taken by the algorithms) are consistent. In this paper, we propose a new efficient partial snapshot algorithm with the aim of reducing communication for the coordination. In a simulation, we show that the proposed algorithm drastically outperforms the existing partial snapshot algorithm, in terms of message and time complexity.

description: L’occupazione di edifici abbandonati a Roma è una pratica che i Movimenti per il Diritto all’Abitare compiono dagli anni ‘70, evidenziando una situazione cronica di inadeguatezza delle politiche abitative, sociali e di welfare in città. La Legge Regionale sull’Autorecupero nasce su questa spinta al riuso, stabilendo alcuni principi d’avanguardia sui temi della trasformazione territoriale, della sostenibilità sociale e ambientale. Ed è sul bagaglio di queste esperienze che l’occupazione abitativa di Porto Fluviale sta affrontando la sfida della trasformazione, con il progetto Porto Fluviale RecHouse, accompagnata da un gruppo di ricerca-azione del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università Roma Tre. Questo progetto condiviso punta a favorire il passaggio dall’informalità a un contesto di certezza e qualità abitativa, attraverso un processo innovativo e conteso di formalizzazione degli spazi abitativi e socio-culturali autorganizzati, potenzialmente estendibile ad altri contesti.

description: Geodesic motion has significant characteristics of space-time. We calculate the principle Lyapunov exponent (LE), which is the inverse of the instability timescale associated with this geodesics and Kolmogorov-Senai (KS) entropy for our rotating Kerr-Kiselev (KK) black hole. We have investigate the existence of stable/unstable equatorial circular orbits via LE and KS entropy for time-like and null circular geodesics. We have shown that both LE and KS entropy can be written in terms of the radial equation of innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for time-like circular orbit. Also, we computed the equation marginally bound circular orbit, which gives the radius (smallest real root) of marginally bound circular orbit (MBCO). We found that the null circular geodesics has larger angular frequency than time-like circular geodesics ($Q_o > Q_σ$). Thus, null-circular geodesics provides the fastest way to circulate KK black holes. Further, it is also to be noted that null circular geodesics has shortest orbital period $(T_{photon}< T_{ISCO})$ among the all possible circular geodesics. Even null circular geodesics traverses fastest than any stable time-like circular geodesics other than the ISCO.

Συμπεράσματα : η ενδοαυλική αντιμετώπιση των ανευρυσμάτων της κοιλιακής αορτής κάτωθεν των νεφρικών αρτηριών είναι τεχνικά εφικτή και ασφαλής, με καλά μεσοπρόθεσμα αποτελέσματα σε ασθενείς μέτριου και υψηλού κινδύνου
description: Objectives: The purpose of this prospective, single-Institution study is to investigate: The technical feasibility of repairing the abdominal aortic aneurysms under the renal arteries with the use of endoprothesis. The efficacy and the safety, of the use of endoprothesis, for the repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysms under the renal arteries The morbidity and mortality of the procedure. The special complications of the procedure and the secondary procedures/ interventions. The durability of the method. Materials and Methods: Between March 2000 and December 2003, 128 patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm under the renal arteries were treated in the 1st Department of Surgery of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniky with the use of endoprothesis. All treated patients followed a Clinical and Instrumental protocol, and underwent contrasted enhanced CTscanning and angiography, for the definition of the morphological characteristics of the aneurysm, including precise diameter and length measurements. Results: Technical success was archived in all 128 procedures with no need of immediate conversion to open repair. The perioperative (30-day) mortality rate was 1.5%, (2 patients). During the follow-up period mean 30 months (range 18 - 64months), contrast enhanced CT scanning was performed at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and annually thereafter. Endoleak rate was 7.9%. 2 patients died from rupture of the aneurysm and 4 patients for other causes. Conclusions: Endovascular repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysms under the renal arteries is safe and effective with good mid-term results in patients at standard and high risk.

description: It is still an open question how the Solar system is structured beyond 100 au from the Sun. Our understanding of this vast region remains very limited and only recently we have become aware of the existence there of a group of enigmatic bodies known as the extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) that have large orbits with perihelia beyond the orbit of Neptune. Four ETNOs -- Sedna, Leleakuhonua, 2012 VP113, and 2013 SY99 -- have perihelia beyond 50 au. The study of the ETNOs may provide much needed information on how this remote region is organized. Here, we apply machine-learning techniques to the sample of 40 known ETNOs to identify statistically significant clusters that may signal the presence of true dynamical groupings and study the distribution of the mutual nodal distances of the known ETNOs that measure how close two orbits can get to each other. Machine-learning techniques show that the known ETNOs may belong to four different populations. Results from the analysis of the distribution of nodal distances show that 41 per cent of the known ETNOs have at least one mutual nodal distance smaller than 1.45 au (1st percentile of the distribution), perhaps hinting at past interactions. In this context, the peculiar pair of ETNOs made of 505478 (2013 UT15) and 2016 SG58 has a mutual ascending nodal distance of 1.35 au at 339 au from the Sun. In addition, the known ETNOs exhibit a highly statistically significant asymmetry between the distributions of object pairs with small ascending and descending nodal distances that might be indicative of a response to external perturbations.

Low-energy pi-pi and pi-K scatterings revisited in three-flavour resummed chiral perturbation theory

description: Chiral symmetry breaking may exhibit significantly different patterns in two chiral limits: N_f=2 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0, m_s physical) and N_f=3 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0=m_s=0). Such a difference may arise due to vacuum fluctuations of s-bar{s} pairs related to the violation of the Zweig rule in the scalar sector, and could yield a numerical competition between contributions counted as leading order and next-to-leading in the chiral expansions of observables. We recall and extend Resummed Chiral Perturbation Theory (ReChPT), a framework that we introduced previously to deal with such instabilities: it requires a more careful definition of the relevant observables and their one-loop chiral expansions. We analyse the amplitudes for low-energy pi-pi and pi-K scatterings within ReChPT, which we match in subthreshold regions with dispersive representations obtained from the solutions Roy and Roy-Steiner equations. Using a frequentist approach, we constrain the quark mass ratio as well as the quark condensate and the pseudoscalar decay constant in the N_f=3 chiral limit. The results mildly favour significant contributions of vacuum fluctuations suppressing the N_f=3 quark condensate compared to its N_f=2 counterpart.

description: The present thesis aims at accentuate the possibility to use the Contingent Valuation Method to estimate the economic use value of irrigation water. In the begining the present situation is described, concerning the use, the distribution and the management of water resources, while are reported the reasons for using economic tools in water resources management. In the fourth chapter the economic methods of natural resources assessment are presented. The region that is selected for the application of the contigent valuation method is the Chalkidiki peninsula, of which the basic characteristics are described in the fifth chapter. For the comparative evaluation of the results of the contingent valuation method, the hedonic pricing method is selected. The application of the contingent valuation method is extensively presented in the seventh chapter. Finally, the conclusions and the contribution of the present study in research are discused

description: This study derives the expected liquidity cost when performing the delta hedging process of a European option. This cost is represented by an integration formula that includes European option prices and a certain function depending on the delta process. We first define a unit liquidity cost and then show that the liquidity cost is a multiplication of the unit liquidity cost, stock price, supply curve parameter, and the square of the number of options. Using this formula, the expected liquidity cost before hedging can be calculated much faster than when using a Monte Carlo simulation. Numerically computed distributions of liquidity costs in special cases are also provided.

description: A massive black hole at the center of a dense stellar system, such as a globular cluster or a galactic nucleus, is subject to a random walk due gravitational encounters with nearby stars. It behaves as a Brownian particle, since it is much more massive than the surrounding stars and moves much more slowly than they do. If the distribution function for the stellar velocities is Maxwellian, there is a exact equipartition of kinetic energy between the black hole and the stars in the stationary state. However, if the distribution function deviates from a Maxwellian form, the strict equipartition cannot be achieved. The deviation from equipartition is quantified in this work by applying the Tsallis q-distribution for the stellar velocities in a q-isothermal stellar system and in a generalized King model.
