This key work analyses the disputes between Greece and Turkey as to their respective rights in the Aegean Sea, paying particular attention to the claims regarding territorial waters, the continental shelf, and the yet to be declared exclusive maritime zones in the area. While many earlier studies have concentrated on political factors, this study provides an exhaustive analysis of the relevant principles of international law in general and rules and principles of maritime law in particular, identifying the legal principles appropriate to the settlement of the Aegean dispute. With this regard, it makes a detailed examination of all the related aspects of the Aegean Sea and its islands, as well as the legal arguments of Greece and Turkey on the disputes concerned. It also clarifies the prospects for settling the dispute on the basis of international law, either by the two parties involved, or by the intervention of a third party such as the International Court of Justice. As such, it offers an important study of a particular problem, but one that can be used as a case study for other international disagreements.

this compilation of recently published articles on ceramic armor.
Ceramic-based armor systems are critical for reliable ballistic
protection of military and police personnel, equipment, vehicles,
aircraft and helicopters. Progress in Ceramic Armor covers
materials such as boron carbide, alumina, silicon carbide, titanium
diboride, and transparent armor.
Bioceramics are ceramic materials primarily used for the repair, reconstruction and replacement of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-skeletal system. The use of these materials has led to remarkable advances in the quality of life for millions of people. In the future, bioceramics will continue to be improved upon and new materials and applications will be discovered.
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity almost two decades ago has been hailed as one of the most exciting advancements in modern physics. However, the full impact of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) will only be realized with the success of large-scale applications. For most large-scale bulk applications of HTS, long-length flexible wires that can carry a large amount of supercurrent are required.

This is a new release of the original 1935 edition.
Two years ago, in announcements made in August and October of 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) committed to transform the U.S. immigration detention system by shifting it away from its longtime reliance on jails and jail-like facilities, to facilities with conditions more appropriate for the detention of civil immigration law detainees. In this report, Human Rights First reveals that despite these commitments, the United States continues to hold the overwhelming majority of detained asylum seekers and other civil immigration law detainees - nearly 400,000 each year - in jails and jail-like facilities across the country. The facilities are expected to cost American taxpayers more than $2 billion in 2012. In the course of its assessment, Human Rights First visited 17 ICE-authorized detention facilities that together held more than 10,000 of the 33,400 total ICE beds, interviewed government officials, legal service providers, and former immigration detainees, as well as a range of former prison wardens, corrections officials, and other experts on correctional systems. The report also notes that former prison officials and other corrections experts have found that less penal conditions in detention can actually help improve safety inside a facility, a finding echoed in multiple studies. It outlines steps that the administration should take to end its reliance on facilities with conditions that are inappropriate for asylum seekers and other civil immigration law detainees, and to bring U.S. detention practices into compliance with international human rights standards.

1935. A Worldwide Appeal to Replace Present Superstitious Creeds by Genuine Religion Which Must Be True, Rational, Universal, Exalting. What is truth? This book is a plain outspoken attempt to show that, while the answer to this question can never be more clearly or beautifully expressed than in the pure teaching of Jesus, yet it was, in the main, world-widely known thousands of years before he was born-that his version of it has, like himself, been woefully betrayed, denied, and forsaken by his professing followers, throughout the whole Christian ear-and that now, though hidden from the wise and understanding, it is fully confirmed by rational deductions from the most reliable scientific data of all kinds. Contents Part I-True, The Original Foundations of True Religion: A View of What is Commonly Called Genesis in True Form. Part II-Rational, False Religions; Reason versus Faith; True; Rational; Universal; Exalting; Part III-Universal, True Religion: A Gospel According to True; A Gospel According to What is Rational; A Gospel According to What is Universal; A Gospel According to What is Exalting; Part IV-Exalting, The Living Sun: True Revelation. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
The 33rd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) was held January 18-23, 2009 in Daytona Beach, Florida with over 1000 attendees from 39 countries. The 2009 meeting was organized by The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and ACerS Engineering Ceramics Division. In addition, ACerS Electronics Division and Nuclear and Environmental Technology Division contributed to the technical program. Energy related themes were a mainstay, with symposia on nuclear energy, solid oxide fuel cells, materials for thermal-to-electric energy conversion, and thermal barrier coatings participating along with the traditional themes of armor, mechanical properties, and porous ceramics. Newer themes included nano-structured materials, advanced manufacturing, and bioceramics. Once again the conference included topics ranging from ceramic nanomaterials to structural reliability of ceramic components, demonstrating the linkage between materials science developments at the atomic level and macro-level structural applications. |
