Abstract Over the last decade, there has been a spate of incidents in Canada and United States involving Saudi Arabian nationals who, while out on bail for predominantly sexual crimes, were able to abscond from countries despite having surrendered their passports. Investigation revealed evidence supporting reasonable inference that government Arabia has, fact, assisted its escape these occasion...

Tobacco-free campuses are a great public health initiative. Healthy People 2020 and Healthy Campus 2020 address tobacco use and young adults including college students. Sources indicate that of the more than 6,000 colleges and universities in the United States, less than 800 are either smoke free or tobacco free. An increasing number of college campus policy makers in the United States are impl...

The depolymerization of natural biomass-based lignin is a definitive challenge, as it involves the integral breakdown complex and well-constructed structures. A sustainable method called ‘ionoSolv pretreatment’ employs ionic liquids in biomass processing. In this study, Bronsted acidic IL (BAIL); 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium chloride, [C3SO3HMIM]Cl was synthesized commendably used to ...

This paper presents a procedure for the design of supervisors that enforce the transitions in a given set to be live. -liveness enforcement corresponds to full liveness enforcement when equals the total set of transitions. Rather than assuming a given initial marking, this procedure generates at every iteration a convex set of admissible initial markings. In the case of full liveness enforcemen...

This paper argues that the European Union’s Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) has improved market discipline in bank for unsecured debt. The different impact of BRRD on bonds provides a quasi-natural experiment allows us to study effects within banks using difference-in-difference approach. Identification is based fact (otherwise identical) given maturing before 2016 are explicit...
