The book contains a collection of chapters written by experts from
the fields of philosophy, law, logic, computer science and
artificial intelligence who pay tribute to Professor Risto
Hilpinen's impressive work on the logic of induction, on deontic
logic and epistemology, and on philosophy of science. In addition
to an introduction by the editors, a section on Professor
Hilpinen's positions, professional services and honors, as well as
a complete bibliography of his writings, the editors, McNamara,
Jones and Brown, have compiled a multidisciplinary global
cross-section of academic contemporaries that provides insights and
perspectives on Hilpinen's influence and legacy. The essays reflect
central aspects of Risto Hilpinen's research interests, and offer
further contributions to some of the philosophical fields for which
he is best known: applied modal logic, including deontic logic
(from the ancient Greek deon, pertaining to the concepts of duty
and obligation), the semantics of normative language, the logic of
action, and the theory of practical reasoning; the analysis of the
concept of artifact; and the theory of semiotics in the tradition
of Charles Peirce. The presence in the collection of several papers
relating to deontic logic underlines Hilpinen's importance in that
area, in which his publications have long been recognized as
standard works. The book is an essential collection of ideas for
all those who feel at home in a variety of formal disciplines, from
propositional logic to the logic of artificial intelligence.
This volume presents a variety of papers bearing on the relation
between deontic logics, logics of action, and normative systems,
i.e. systems of or about interacting agents (computers, human
beings, corporations, etc.) whose behaviour is subject to ideal
constraints that may not always be fulfilled in practice. The
papers range from theoretical studies of the logical and conceptual
tools needed, to studies of various applications. The set of papers
collected in this book should be of interest to investigators
working in a variety of fields, from philosophy, logic and legal
theory to artificial intelligence, computer and management
sciences, since it covers topics ranging from theoretical research
on foundational issues in deontic and action logics, defeasible
reasoning, decision theory, ethical theory, and legal theory, to
research on a variety of issues relevant to applications connected
with expert systems in the law, document specification, automation
of defeasible reasoning, specification of responsibilities and
powers in organizations, normative systems specification,
confidentiality in database systems, and a host of other
applications.

Stability and reconstruction operations in Iraq and Afghanistan
have stressed the resources and international reputation of the
United States to the point where it can no longer effectively
counter the growing Chinese influence in Asia. The U.S. must now
look to other allies, specifically India, as a means of countering
China's growing dominance. The recent decision of the U.S. to break
with its past policy of sanctioning India for their pursuit of a
nuclear weapons program has created an amazing opportunity to put
to rest their troubled past relations. A new partnership has
emerged that is not only achieving both increased security and
greater economic gains for each nation, but has the potential for
reshaping the power structure in Asia. India can better expand its
economic growth to develop a robust middle class, and improve its
security situation by enacting more aggressive trade reforms,
working closely with partners in the U.S. energy and defense
sectors, and relaxing stringent governmental controls over key
areas of industry. Additionally, through closer cooperation with
the U.S., India can ensure continued economic growth, modernize its
already capable military, facilitating their emergence as the
regional leader and the dominate influence in Asia. As such, India
will be well postured to support the democratic principles and
values, effectively countering China's growing influence in this
critical region.

This volume provides a description of LC/MS applications that are
currently being successfully used and of the instrumentation that
is now commercially available or under development. Describes the
application of LC/MS to the analysis of agricultural chemicals and
their metabolites. Examines the influence LC/MS has had upon
chemistry for the analysis of both highly polar metabolites and
their precursors. Also looks at the impact of LC/MS methods on
environmental analysis.
