Challenges to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime: Can the Regime Survive? An Australian Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the nuclear non-proliferation regime has enjoyed considerable success, today it is facing serious threats. Recent and continuing violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), particularly by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran, as well as the lack of substantive outcome from the 2005 NPT Review Conference, have led some critics to question whether the NPT may be reaching the end of its useful life. These concerns have been heightened by the DPRK’s conduct of a nuclear test and Iran’s defiance of the Security Council over its nuclear activities.

Plasma Wave Acceleration of Electron in Bubble Regime in Presence of a Planar Wiggler
The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

متن کاملEstimating Stock Price in Energy Market Including Oil, Gas, and Coal: The Comparison of Linear and Non-Linear Two-State Markov Regime Switching Models
A common method to study the dynamic behavior of macroeconomic variables is using linear time series models; however, they are unable to explain nonlinear behavior of the series. Given the dependency between stock market and derivatives, the behavior of the underlying asset price can be modeled using Markov switching process properties and the economic regime significance. In this paper, a two-...
