Along with the exploding attention to globalization, issues of global justice have become central elements in political philosophy. After decades in which debates were dominated by a state-centric paradigm, current debates in political philosophy also address issues of global inequality, global poverty, and themoral foundations of international law. As recent events have demonstrated, these iss...

I review the theoretical understanding of the global structure of pulsar magnetospheres concentrating on recent progress in force-free electrodynamics and first-principles simulations of magnetospheres.

In this paper we consider certain local-global principles for MordellWeil type groups over number fields like S-units, abelian varieties and algebraic K-theory groups.

Between January and May 2017, leadership of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems welcomed input from around the globe on their founding document – Ethically Aligned Design: A Vision for Prioritizing Human Wellbeing with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems (AI/AS) (hereafter referred to as EAD or EADv1). Broken into mu...

Global software development (GSD) is now-a-days pervasive in software industry aiming to develop global standard software through geographically distributed skilled teams in minimum time and cost. In order to meet the demand for green software production and frequent changes in requirements of the clients, GSD developers have revamped traditional methods and trying to incorporate green principl...

Recent advances in understanding have made it possible to relate global precipitation changes directly to emissions of particular gases and aerosols that influence climate. Using these advances, new indices are developed here called the Global Precipitation-change Potential for pulse (GPPP) and sustained (GPPS) emissions, which measure the precipitation change per unit mass of emissions. The GP...

Head-movement is something of a conundrum in modern syntactic theory. At the beginning of the 1990s, it fit beautifully into the system of assumptions that were gradually coalescing into the Minimalist Program. The Head Movement Constraint of Travis 1984 was unified with other constraints on movement as an instance of Rizzi’s 1990:11 Relativized Minimality, the first overarching vision of how e...

The March 2004 issue of TODS should be in your mailbox (as well as available in cyberspace, at the ACM Digital Library) around the time you receive this issue of SIGMOD Record. This issue is a first, a special issue dedicated to extended versions of SIGMOD and PODS papers from the 2002 conference. This special issue opens the topic of invited papers from conferences, and indeed, the more genera...
