As pointed out by many observers, even if it has been very successful in promoting trade liberalization, the WTO remains a court with no bainli . How can this international institution achieve its goal if defendants can reject adverse rulings with impunity? Given the WTO's limited enforcement powers, are unilateral or multilateral coercion more e ective in inducing the target country to concede...

In this paper, how structure-sensitive parameters derived from the hysteresis loop, like coercive field, remanent induction, and hysteresis losses, can be used to characterise recovery and recrystallization in cold rolled Ti-Nb stabilised interstitial free ultra low carbon steel is shown. The effect on hysteresis measurements of isothermal annealing treatments applied to industrially cold rolle...

This study examines the use of coercive sexual strategies by men and the outcomes of these behaviour for women. Using a sample of 541 college undergraduates, data were gathered from men on their use of three types of coercive sexual strategies and from women on their experiences with these same forms of behaviors. For women, there is a positive association between being sexually active, having ...

Abstract We study the higher order q - Poincaré and other coercive inequalities for a class probability measures satisfying Adam’s regularity condition.

Coercive control has emerged as a key focus for researchers and activists working in the field of intimate partner abuse. In England and Wales, the issue has taken on a new urgency. On 29 December 2015, s. 76, Serious Crime Act made ‘coercive or controlling behaviour’ a criminal offence. Implementation of the new offence has been slow. The analysis of data generated by empirical work with polic...

We explore relations among material deprivation (measured by insufficient housing, food insecurity and poor healthcare access), socio-economic status (employment, income and education) and coercive sex. A binary logistic multi-level model is used in the estimation of data from a survey of 1071 young people aged 18-23 years, undertaken between June and July 2013, in the urban slums of Blantyre, ...

[Van der Sandt, 1992] introduces [Lewis, 1979]’ notion of accommodation in Discourse Representation Theory [Kamp and Reyle, 1993] as a tool to account for gaps in the discourse. His theory of presupposition projection takes presuppositions to behave like anaphora. Anaphoric expressions normally are linked to antecedents that have previously been established in the discourse. If example (1) woul...

Sexual coercion is a manifestation of sexual conflict that is not in itself pathological according to Wakefield's (1992) criteria because sexual coercion can increase a man's Darwinian fitness. There are, however, differences among men in their propensity to commit rape and this propensity is linked to antisocial personality characteristics and relatively more sexual interest in brutal rape dep...

A notion of dependent coercion is introduced and studied in the context of dependent type theories. It extends our earlier work on coercive subtyping into a uniform framework which increases the expressive power with new applications. A dependent coercion introduces a subtyping relation between a type and a family of types in that an object of the type is mapped into one of the types in the fam...
