The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published
in 1970. It has two main aims. It offers a forum for the
publication of scholarly articles of a more general nature in the
area of public international law including the law of the European
Union. In addition, it aims to respond to the demand for
information on state practice in the field of international law.
Each Yearbook therefore includes an overview of state practice of
the Netherlands.
The jurisprudential conception of effective control is rooted in
outmoded conc- tions of hierarchical organizational structure. By
extension, the current template for evaluating effective control
poses an increasing risk that culpable commanders will escape
liability by exploiting the lacunae in current case law. This
article p- poses that jurists should analyze command/superior
responsibility cases with full cognizance of modern command and
control theory in order to sustain its viability as a practical
prosecutorial tool to regulate the crimes committed by loosely knit
groups and non-state actors conducting atrocities in chaotic
circumstances. The Composite Theory proposed herein would support
liability for the acts of subor- nates on the theory that
commanders who field fighting organizations without the proper
methods for enforcing compliance with the laws and customs of war -
sume the risk of criminal sanction where criminal violations occur
by their sub- dinates, regardless of the nature of the
organization. Despite its broad acceptance and frequent
regurgitation in jurisprudence, the doctrine of effective control
drawn from the essence of the leader's authority is increasingly
inapplicable to non-state actors who conduct hostilities in
non-tra- tional conflicts. The independent emergence of the
principle that the commander's orders operate with the force of law
to limit the application of violence in widely disparate cultures
and historical periods suggests that it is more than just a legal
technicality, but instead is fundamental to the nature of warfare
itself.
Provides complete and undiluted knowledge on making inorganic
polymers functional. This comprehensive book reflects the state of
the art in the field of inorganic polymers, based on research
conducted by a number of internationally leading research groups
working in this area. It covers the synthesis aspects of synthetic
inorganic polymers and looks at multiple inorganic monomers as
building blocks, which exhibit unprecedented electronic, redox,
photo-emissive, magnetic, self-healing and catalytic properties. It
also looks at the applications of inorganic polymers in areas such
as optoelectronics, energy storage, industrial chemistry, and
biology. Beginning with an overview of the use of smart inorganic
polymers in daily life, Smart Inorganic Polymers: Synthesis,
Properties and Emerging Applications in Materials and Life Sciences
goes on to study the synthesis, properties, and applications of
polymers incorporating different heteroelements such as boron,
phosphorus, silicon, germanium, and tin. The book also examines
inorganic polymers in flame-retardants, as functional materials,
and in biology. An excellent addition to the polymer scientists'
and synthetic chemists' toolbox Summarizes the state of the art on
how to make and use functional inorganic polymers, from synthesis
to applications Edited by the coordinator of a highly funded
European community research program (COST action) that focuses
specifically on the exploration of inorganic polymers Features
contributions from top experts in the field Aimed at academics and
industrial researchers in this field, Smart Inorganic Polymers:
Synthesis, Properties and Emerging Applications in Materials and
Life Sciences will also benefit scientists who want to get a better
overview on the state-of-the-art of this rapidly advancing area.

Noted experts review the current status of boron-containing drugs
and materials for molecular medical diagnostics Boron-Based
Compounds offers a summary of the present status and promotes the
further development of new boron-containing drugs and advanced
materials, mostly boron clusters, for molecular medical
diagnostics. The knowledge accumulated during the past decades on
the chemistry and biology of bioorganic and organometallic boron
compounds laid the foundation for the emergence of a new area of
study and application of boron compounds as lipophilic
pharmacophores and modulators of biologically active molecules.This
important text brings together in one comprehensive volume
contributions from renowned experts in the field of medicinal
chemistry of boron compounds. The authors cover a range of the most
relevant topics including boron compounds as modulators of the
bioactivity of biomolecules, boron clusters as pharmacophores or
for drug delivery, boron compounds for boron neutron capture
therapy (BNCT) and for diagnostics, as well as in silico molecular
modeling of boron- and carborane-containing compounds in drug
design. Authoritative and accessible, Boron-Based Compounds:
Contains contributions from a panel of internationally renowned
experts in the field Offers a concise summary of the current status
of boron-containing drugs and materials used for molecular
diagnostics Highlights the range and capacity of boron-based
compounds in medical applications Includes information on boron
neutron capture therapy and diagnostics Designed for academic and
industrial scientists, this important resource offers the
cutting-edge information needed to understand the current state of
boron-containing drugs and materials for molecular medical
diagnostics.
The subject of this study is a collection of over one hundred
intaglios, cameos, seals and rings acquired by Tom and Danielle
White during a diplomatic posting in Burma (Myanmar) between 1985
and 1989. (Another private collection of intaglios, seals, sealings
and other objects from Burma is described briefly in the Appendix.)
Twenty rings from Java, also from the White collection, have been
added at the end of the catalogue. Until now the few engraved gems
from Burma which have been published are scattered through
periodicals or only briefly mentioned in larger works. The
opportunity has been taken in the present catalogue to compare,
where possible, this collection from Burma with intaglios,
sealings, coins and other objects from India, Sri Lanka, Southeast
Asia and elsewhere which may help to set this collection in its
regional context. In Part B of the introduction brief descriptions
are given of the main Pyu sites in Burma; and of the other
'Indianised' sites in Arakan and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, where
engraved gems have been found.
An illustrated catalogue of 59 engraved gems from the Wright
Collection, most of which are from Turkey and Yugoslavia. The
collection includes Phoenician and Etruscan scarabs and ringstones
and cameos dating from the Hellenistic, Roman, Sasanian, Late
Antique, Renaissance and Modern periods. The largest group is Roman
and includes gems engraved with deities, Bacchic themes, heroes,
symbols, portraits and animals.
