We establish existence and uniqueness results for initial-boundary value problems transport equations in one space dimension with nearly incompressible velocity fields, under the sole assumption that fields are bounded. In case where field is either nonnegative or nonpositive, can rely on similar techniques as of Cauchy problem. Conversely, general we introduce a new more technically demanding ...

The side-eeect problem in AND/OR parallel execution of logic programs is complex and need to be further investigated. This paper presents a Selective Recomputation(SR) approach for handling side-eeects in the OR-forest model which can exploit both AND-and OR-parallelism. In contrast to merely AND-and merely OR-parallel execution models/systems, handling side-eeects in AND/OR parallel execution ...

in state-investor dispute, investor tends that umbrella clause transfers all contractual claims to treaty claims. by contracts, state follows narrow interpretation of this clause. up to ilc articles, establishing of responsibility of state for breach of contract requires tow preconditions. first state is merely responsible when state condoct has been of governmental nature and second is that br...

Growing powers to manipulate human bodies and minds, not merely to heal disease but to satisfy desires, control deviant behavior, and to change human nature, make urgent questions of whether and how to regulate their use, not merely to assure safety and efficacy but also to safeguard our humanity. Oversight in democratic societies rightly belongs to the polity, not merely to self-appointed expe...
