New lords, new laws

New Antitrust Laws for the “New Economy”?

How new laws balance

T he 2010 Constitution has made dramatic changes to the Budget process. These open it up to a wider set of actors, particularly giving citizens and MPs a greater role, and fundamentally reducing the traditional, undemocratic and nearly unlimited powers of the Executive. Yet, radical changes in the Budget process can lead to confusion about roles. This must not become an excuse for poor fi nanci...

New laws on landfills.

We present the second version of Melina, a web-based tool for promoter analysis. Melina II shows potential DNA motifs in promoter regions with a combination of several available programs, Consensus, MEME, Gibbs sampler, MDscan and Weeder, as well as several parameter settings. It allows running a maximum of four programs simultaneously, and comparing their results with graphical representations...

Kepler's Laws, Newton's Laws, and the Search for New Planets

Introduction. One of the high points of elementary calculus is the derivation of Kepler’s empirically deduced laws of planetary motion from Newton’s Law of Gravity and his second law of motion. However, the standard treatment of the subject in calculus books is flawed for at least three reasons that I think are important. First, Newton’s Laws are used to derive a differential equation for the d...

2 00 3 New electromagnetic conservation laws

The Chevreton superenergy tensor was introduced in 1964 as a counterpart, for electromagnetic fields, of the well-known Bel-Robinson tensor of the gravitational field. We here prove the unnoticed facts that, in the absence of electromagnetic currents, Chevreton’s tensor (i) is completely symmetric, and (ii) has a trace-free divergence if Einstein-Maxwell equations hold. It follows that the trac...
