According to the dominant view, supposedly state-centric concept of war has been successively replaced after Second World War by concepts use force, aggression, and armed attack in international security law, on one hand, concept(s) conflict humanitarian other. Based an analysis post-war codifications, particular, human rights this article argues that it is yet still too premature bid farewell ...

Scale-free networks arise from power-law degree distributions. Due to the finite size of real-world networks, the power law inevitably has a cutoff at some maximum degree ∆. We investigate the relative size of the giant component S in the large-network limit. We show that S as a function of ∆ increases fast when ∆ is just large enough for the giant component to exist, but increases ever more sl...

neurolaw, as an interdisciplinary field which links the brain to law, facilitates the pathway to better understanding of human behavior in order to regulate it accurately through incorporating neuroscience achievements in legal studies. since 1990's, this emerging field, by study on human nervous system as a new dimension of legal phenomena, leads to a more precise explanation for human behavio...

the concept of “ultra vires” has been studied in two specific areas: in company law and in discussions on the issues of capacity and acts of representatives. historically, in english law, ultra vires acts were considered as void, and neither representatives nor shareholders could approve them at a later time. subsequently, judges in common law system changed their approach from a restricted cap...

The accountant Nigrini remarked that in tables of data distributed according to Benford s Law the sum of all elements with rst digit d d is approxi mately constant In this note a mathematical formulation of Nigrini s observation is given and it is shown that Benford s Law is the unique probability distribution such that the expected sum of all elements with rst digits d dk is constant for every...

Aerosonde is a small autonomous aircraft (UAV) designed for meteorological sampling along a specified flight plan. This aircraft is currently being used by the Flight Systems Laboratory at the University of Washington as a test-bed for the development of a rapid control-law prototyping platform based on Matlab/Simulink/Real-Time Workshop environment. To accurately track a set of pre-planned fli...

Domain of attraction of the normal law Brownian bridge a b s t r a c t domain of attraction of the normal law with mean zero and possibly infinite variance, Q (n) = R(n)/S(n) be the rescaled range statistic, where R(n)
