With the emergence of an international information policy regime1 over the last few decades, information policy tools have received more attention per se, multiplied in form, and penetrated a growing variety of realms of activity. Their use has been striking in the defense arena, where 85-95% of arms control agreements are now devoted to the compelled information collection, processing, and flo...

Logical Volumes have the following advantages over physical volumes 1. Flexible Capacity: Since multiple disks can be aggregated into single logical volume files systems can extend over multiple disks. 2. Resize-ability: The size of the logical volume can be increased or decreased without reformatting the underlying disk. 3. Disk Striping: Logical volumes can stripe across two or more disks. 4....

The observations of carcinogenesis in vitro (Earle, et al.) and of anaerobic glycolysis (Warburg) in cancer are discussed briefly. Professor Hieger is particularly impressed by carcinogenesis in vitro but was not convinced that metabolic change was, at best, more than a concommitant of cancer rather than the cause. Each investigator tends to look at cancer through glasses tinted by the shades o...

In this first section we start with defining the notions of inconsistency and para-consistency, we give an example of an inconsistency and clarify what according to us is the basic problem with respect to the occurrence of inconsistencies. We are then in a position to state the aim of this paper. We have a contradiction when both A and ∼ A are true.1 We have negation-incompleteness when neither...

In the selection task, individuals generally do not follow the deductive rules of standard logic. In the present research, a new abstract selection task was designed by extending the range of cards that the participants face (inspired by Manktelow, Sutherland and Over, 1995). It was used in two experiments to test predictions about the matching bias and the probabilistic approach of reasoning. ...

Much has been written in recent years about the crisis in fisheries caused by the critical reduction in catches and about the strategies developed by local communities of fishers in response. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the use of maritime heritage can also be considered part of these strategies. Like fishers elsewhere, Catalan small-scale fishers face severe threats to their...

Central Asian region has witnessed a dramatic ‘rise of the HIV tide’ over the last decade. This article provides a historical overview, describes the process of domestication, and examines legal, social and political dimensions of the HIV epidemic in Tajikistan in order to highlight existing contradictions and barriers in HIV policy-making and program implementation in that country. The respons...

Systers is a 13-year old online community for technical women. Substantial growth in the membership (from an initial group of 12 to over 2300 today), and of the Internet generally, has changed the nature of this community. We report empirical research leading to redesign of Systers’ online community resources. Systers must serve an increasingly diverse membership. Newcomers desire more and broa...

This paper explores how young women with disordered eating rationalise their behaviour as ‘healthy’. Based on preliminary findings from an Australian Research Council grant that is investigating why people with eating disorders are reluctant to engage with treatment services, we demonstrate how young women use normative discourses of body surveillance, ‘healthy eating’ and selfdiscipline to mai...

Conceptions of logical form are stranded between extremes. On one side are those who think the logical form of a sentence has little to do with logic; on the other, those who think it has little to do with the sentence. Most of us would prefer a conception that strikes a balance: logical form that is an objective feature of a sentence and captures its logical character. I will argue that we can...
