BACKGROUND Military service is considered to be a hidden variable underlying current knowledge about well-being in the elderly. This study aimed to examine life satisfaction and quality of life in Australia's surviving male Korean War veterans and a community comparison group, and to investigate any association with war deployment-related factors. METHODS Participants completed a postal quest...

Once upon a time, during the 1970s and 1980s, the Vietnam War (1959–1975) was studied mainly as an episode in American history. Anglophone authors in the United States and elsewhere wrote extensively about the war during its closing stages and during the first years of the postwar era. This early scholarship on the war included a great deal of pathbreaking research that shed new light on import...

This paper addresses the question of the relative gravity of crimes against humanity vis-à-vis war crimes. The issue is tackled from a double perspective. First, the categories of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are compared at the general or legislative level. The analysis is mainly based on international treaties and other instruments that consider these crimes from the viewp...

This article examines the work of Canadian physician and physical educator Dr. Robert Tait McKenzie. It argues that during and after World War I, McKenzie made a unique contribution in military and medical history, spanning physical training, rehabilitation and commemoration via sculpture. McKenzie returned veterans to better physical function either directly by his hand, through devices and te...

We prove a localization formula in equivariant algebraic K-theory for an arbitrary complex algebraic group acting with finite stabilizer on a smooth algebraic space. This extends to non-diagonalizable groups the localization formulas of H.A. Nielsen [Nie] and R. Thomason [Tho5] As an application we give a Riemann-Roch formula for quotients of smooth algebraic spaces by proper group actions. Thi...

A digraph is said to be n-unavoidable if every tournament of order n contains it as a subgraph. Let f (n) be the smallest integer such that every oriented tree is f (n)-unavoidable. Sumner (see 7]) noted that f (n) 2n ? 2 and conjetured that equality holds. HH aggkvist and Thomason established the upper bounds f (n) 12n and f (n) (4 + o(1))n. Let g(k) be the smallest integer such that every ori...

Albert D. Biderman, Ph.D., Washington, D.C., is Senior Research Associate, Bureau of Social Science Research, Inc., Washington, D.C. He explored uses of crime statistics as social indicators in a recent monograph on Social Indicators and Goals (1966). His broader interest in the regulation of behavior by social codes is reflected in the books March to Calumny: American Prisoners in the Korean W...

The Isomorphism Conjectures are translated into the language of homotopical algebra, where they resemble Thomason’s descent theorems.

More than 100 of the worlds most potent fighter aircraft are depicted in superbly detailed cutaway drawings: from the canvas-and-string contraptions of World War I to the amazing stealth fighters that are taking air combat into the 21st century. Accompanied by fascinating technical and developmental descriptions, each drawing reveals and clearly identifies the aircrafts airframe structures, eng...
