NPT: An Exclusive Proliferation Treaty

Cis Proliferation Problems and Issues for the Npt Extension Conference

The continuing political and economic instability in the former Soviet Union has exacerbated a series of related proliferation threats in the region. Two recent conferences organized by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies revealed new information regarding problems in physical protection of nuclear materials and facilities, the implementation of export controls, and divergent views on the u...

A Game-Theoretic Analysis of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

Although nuclear non-proliferation is an almost universal human desire, in practice, the negotiated treaties appear unable to prevent the steady growth of the number of states that have nuclear weapons. We propose a computational model for understanding the complex issues behind nuclear arms negotiations, the motivations of various states to enter a nuclear weapons program and the ways to diffu...

Partial rigid-body dynamics in NPT, NPAT and NPT ensembles for proteins and membranes

A partial rigid-body method of molecular dynamics simulations for proteins and membranes is presented. In this method, the symplectic integrator for rigid bodies is combined with the equations of motion for the NPT ensemble. The standard NPT ensemble is extended to the membrane-specific ensembles, the NPAT (constant normal pressure and lateral surface area of membranes and constant temperature)...

An Exclusive Countryside

Using the example of two English villages, this paper examines whether rural crime concern is evidence of an ‘exclusive society’ (Young, 2002) in the countryside. Specific attention is given to concerns expressed by residents as part of a consultation exercise to establish community-based policing partnerships in rural areas of the West Mercia Constabulary. Based on these findings the paper goe...
