The article analyses the complex relation between politics and justice in international arena that is reflected Special Tribunal for Lebanon. subject matters developed are its problematic establishment by means of Security Council resolution 1757 (2007) selective nature, as well legal-doctrinal dispute laid out Ayyash et al. case, also known Hariri case. It stressed importance circumstantial fa...

with N the control horizon, x(t + k|t) the set-valued k-step ahead state prediction and F the terminal feasible and robustly stabilizing state-feedback. In Lemma 2 and Main Result of Casavola et al. (2000) it was erroneously claimed that the regions of attraction are nested, viz. the region for N + 1 includes the one corresponding to N. This can be shown to be untrue in general by counterexampl...

The studies of which this paper is a report of progress were begun by the writer at the University of Chicago in 1917 and have since been carried on under the auspices of the United States Geological Survey, both in the field and in the oflice. Since October, 1920, the work has been done in the department of geology of the State University of Iowa, with the continued cooperation of the Federal ...

Tobacco use is the most preventable cause of these deaths. In the United States, up to 200,000 people die each year from smoking-related illnesses. The good news is that this figure has decreased due to the increasing number of Americans who have quit smoking. The bad news is that some of these smokers switched to smokeless or spit tobacco, assuming it is a safe alternative. This is untrue. By ...

As Eulerian description is generally used for the simulation of filling flow problems in the powder injection molding process, and the governing equation of the filling state takes the form of an advection equation, the distortion can be easily produced when dealing with the filling process in complex cavities, such as the similar channels in shapes of K and L, inside which the phenomena of opp...

Turfgrass soils vary considerably in physical and chemical composition. However, regardless of their properties, most contain a vast array of living organisms, ranging from larger creatures such as earthworms and insects, to microscopic invertebrates, bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, yeasts, algae and protozoa. All of these organisms affect turfgrass health in important ways. However, perhaps th...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of social risk factors on adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. METHODS This is a retrospective study and eligible patients were adults with CML on TKI treatment. Cases of no adherence to treatment were confirmed during pharmacists' consultation (patient-reported adherence). Baseline characteristics betwe...

To the Editor: Mitzner argues that constant phase modeling is not more useful that simpler methods and no research has substantiated the importance of several variables determined by constant phase modeling (6). This is untrue and indicates only a cursory attempt at a literature review. We clearly established a developmental pattern in normal healthy newborn rat pups where PV curves, tissue dam...

Ecological processes act upon landscapes over a wide range of temporal and spatial extents. These processes interact to create complex and ever-changing landscape patterns. While remote sensing data (e.g. AVHRR, TM) has often been used to characterize such heterogeneity at the landscape scale, these sensors cannot resolve spatial pattern to the detail required for finer scale analyses, such as ...

The rapid technological change and uncertain future evolutions have a large impact on investment projects in the telecommunication sector. When new infrastructure networks are rolled out, the initial assumptions can prove to be untrue in the future, severely impacting the payoff. It is therefore extremely important that projects offer flexibility to allow the management to react to unforeseen c...
