without general principles, no system of law is conceivable. these principles have special position not only in domestic but also in international law. general principles would have been invoked even though those principles were not cited as the sources of international law in accordance with the statute of icj, article 38. those are taken into account as the independent source of international...

during the human history, there was a great struggle against illness and pain, and physicians have always been vanguard in this fight, but some physicians, in addition to treating patients, have been doing their actual duty, namely the maintenance of human health. in the ancient medical history resources, issues of health protection have been shown to be one of the most significant subjects of ...

There are a number of requirements by which animals should be managed so that the best performance is achieved in a way acceptable to those responsible for the care of the animals and to the community generally. These requirements are the keys to good management and may be used to test the management of a poultry enterprise in relation to the standard of its management. These requirements are a...

The recent application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a remarkable new dimension in secret communication. As a result of these new developments, it is now possible to construct cryptographic communication systems which detect unauthorized eavesdropping should it occur, and which give a guarantee of no eavesdropping should it not occur.

A data-oriented (empiricist) alternative to the currently pervasive (nativist) Principles and Parameters approach to the acquisition of stress assignment is investigated. A similaritybased algorithm, viz. an augmented version of Instance Based Learning is used to learn the system of main stress assignment in Dutch. In this non-trivial task a comprehensive lexicon of Dutch monomorphemes is used ...

With the rapid development of space information technology and constant advancement of militarization of outer space, the legal aspects of information operations in outer space have aroused the attention of international community. Information operations in outer space have brand-new features and means, which are apparently different from those of traditional operations, thus challenging almost...

In order to solve the language acquisition puzzle there are two basic problems one needs to address . The first is the so-called "logical problem of language acquisition" and the second is what I will refer to as the "developmental problem of language acquisition." The logical problem of language acquisition is the question, no doubt familiar to you all, of how we account for the richness, comp...

We present two-dimensional filter banks with directional vanishing moments. The directional-vanishing-moment condition is crucial for the regularity of directional filter banks. However, it is a challenging task to design orthogonal filter banks with directional vanishing moments. Due to the lack of multidimensional factorization theorems, traditional one-dimensional methods cannot be extended ...

Classical model SDcl of the Dirac particle SD is constructed. SD is the dynamic system described by the Dirac equation. For investigation of SD and construction of SDcl one uses a new dynamic method: dynamic disquantization. This relativistic purely dynamic procedure does not use principles of quantum mechanics. The obtained classical analog SDcl is described by a system of ordinary differentia...

Forest fires are a major risk factor with strong impact at eco-environmental and socioeconomical levels, reasons why their study and modeling are very important. However, the models frequently have a certain level of uncertainty in some input parameters given that they must be approximated or estimated, as a consequence of diverse difficulties to accurately measure the conditions of the phenome...
