SUBTITLE: BUSINESS AVIATION FACES A FLURRY OF NEW REGULATIONS AS A SINGLE EUROPEAN REGULATORY REGIME TAKES EFFECT. WILL IT HELP OR HINDER OPERATIONS?

Let {X ,Xn,n 1} be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with EX = 0 and EX2 = 1 and the partial sums Sn = ∑k=1 Xk , n 1 . Assume that f (x) and g(x) are positive functions defined on [0,∞) . In this short note, under some suitable conditions, we establish the following results ∞ ∑ n=1 f (n)P{|Sn| > β √ ng(n)} < ∞ or = ∞ according as ∞ ∑ n=1 f (n) g(n) exp{− 2 2 g2(n)(1+α(n))}< ∞ or = ∞ where α(n) = EX2I{|X | > √ng(n)}/EX2I{|X | √ng(n)} , β > 0 . The results extend and generalize the known Davis-Gut Law and Lai Law.

A range of laws or predictions about technological growth based on observations of previous trends in scientific research and industry are taken, in particular those with relevance to communications technology understanding where they have come from and what their impact might be in the future.

Seismic companies do not usually resort to the law court to resolve their differences. Andrew McBarnet reports on an exception and its implications.

In The Empire of the Tetrarchs C. has concentrated on providing a finely-grained account of the 'vast range of texts produced by the emperors of the tetrarchic era and their palatine officials' and of 'the problems of relating the picture created by surviving imperial pronouncements to the limiting realities of government at the time' (p. vii). The result is a useful collation of often obscure and fragmentary sources; clearly the product of much painstaking work and of a close and careful attention to the detail which matters. The first two chapters survey the sources for surviving tetrarchic ...

John Davies outlines the theories which are fundamental to basic scientific understanding and suggests practical activities to test how they work.

That juvenile firesetting has become a major problem in the UK is widely acknowledged by the fire service. The author introduces a research programme that aims to examine firesetting behaviour and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention programmes.

Let {Xn, 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with partial sums Sn = ∑k=1 Xk , n 1 . Davis-Gut law states that ∞ ∑ n=1 1 n P { |Sn| > (1+ ε) √ 2n log logn }{< ∞, if ε > 0, = ∞, if ε < 0 if and only if EX1 = 0 and EX2 1 = 1 . Lai law states that ∞ ∑ n=1 nr−1P{|Sn| > (1+ ε) √ 2rn logn} { < ∞, if ε > 0, = ∞, if ε < 0 if and only if EX1 = 0 , EX2 1 = 1 and E(X 2 1 / log |X1|) < ∞ , where r > 0 . The paper will extend those results to the case where {Xn,n 1} are no longer identically distributed, but rather their distributions come from a finite set of distri...

Cet article traite des rapports entre formation juridique et État de droit au Laos, notamment à travers l’expérience du projet de coopération interuniversitaire entre l’Université du Luxembourg et l’Université Nationale du Laos. L’étude revient d’abord sur le cadre théorique et concret dans lequel intervient cette coopération en s’intéressant au concept d’État de droit et à son lien avec l’aide au développement, à la transplantation du concept d’État de droit dans le droit laotien ainsi qu’à sa mise en œuvre. La contribution propose ensuite un état des lieux de la situation universitaire au La...

THE sights and sounds and smells of Buzzards' Bay provided the backdrop for the childhood of Joseph Bates. From the moment of his birth near New Bedford in 1792, he was surrounded by influences which inexorably led him to choose the life of a seaman. It was said of New Bedford in those days that one third of the population was away at sea, another third had just returned, and another third was getting ready to ship out. New Bedford, or that portion across the Acushnet River that was set apart as Fairhaven in 1812, was to be Joseph's home for over sixty-five years. Along with his love for the s...

The ADA Undergoes Some Critical Fine-Tuning: Amendments effective in January 2009 Should Correct the Too-Narrow Interpretations of the Courts I. The ADA's original purposes: The Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), enacted by Congress in 1990, was greeted with great celebration by persons with disabilities, their families and advocates. The idea was broadminded and straightforward: Congress intended that the ADA protect those with disabilities (including those who were simply perceived as having a disability) against discrimination because of their disabilities in access to jobs, educa...

It is well known that one of the fundamental duties of a director is not to allow any personal financial interests to interfere with his or her corporate responsibilities - hence the statutory duty to disclose these interests to the board of directors. It is important to note, however, that this duty is no longer confined to directors but has now, by virtue of the new Companies Act (71 of 2008), been imposed on a broad spectrum of company officers.

This paper describes the procedure and the results of a simple lab wherein the students measure the potential versus radius for a circular electrode configuration. The students must determine, using Gauss’s law, if this configuration simulates a cylindrical capacitor or a spherical one.

Lao Naixuan was the chief representative of the Ethic Faction in the Course of Alternation of law in the late Qing. As a lower level offical for a long time,he noticed the Chinese traditional ethics survived persis- tently and extensively in Chinese legal psychology. As regards the center and degree of the legal reform,he thought each country had its distinct origin and classification of law,therefore their tendences of legal reform would not be same. Every nation would reform on the basis of its own culture.culture and conditions. If Lao's thinking and proposal of law had been adopted timely ...

Staffing levels and working conditions for nurses are threatening patients' lives and the UKCC must take action, says the chair of the Royal College of Nursing.

Courts have in fact encountered cases involving LATs, primarily in the context of contests about whether alimony to a previous spouse should be terminated based on cohabitation. In these cases, judges have been devising a series of tests for determining whether a couple is in fact cohabiting or living apart together. This chapter will describe those cases, in the course of which the lives of LAT couples are revealed in more detail. In the absence of any consistent legal treatment, obvious injustices result, such as the denial of palimony suits and terminating alimony set after a long marriage ...

Bernoulli's law is a fundamental relationship in fluid dynamics that is covered in most introductory physics courses. Basically a statement of conservation of energy for an open fluid system, Bernoulli's law is often used in labs and examples to analyze the lift force on a fixed wing or the forces on objects in a fluid flow.1–4 Although these are legitimate uses of the law, they do not introduce students to the way in which several concepts, such as Bernoulli's law and the conservation of mass, are used in combination to study the dynamics of fluid systems. Thus, to give students an easily und...

The article contains historical and comparative survey of many models of lay participation in judiciary and key problems with it. The first, it has given reasons for establishment and characteristic of work of jury in revolutionary France and mixed court in Germany. Further, it gives analisys' of development of question of jurors in Kingdom of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Among the other things, it points out the failure of mixed courts in Serbia because of intimidation of jurors. In communist's Yugoslavia, jurors were established to serve to the 'achievements of Revolution' which was the negation o...

A successful transition from the lab to the law builds on lessons learned and rigor developed as a scientist, but also requires the acquisition of new skills; a shift in work habits, tempo, and rhythm; and a shift in attitude from the pursuit of truth for its own sake to the development of pragmatic solutions that draw on the law to serve the best interests of one's own client, to resolve a dispute between two parties, or to generate legal rules to promote a policy goal. This talk will explain these requirements for a successful transition to a legal career in more detail and provide audience ...

This article argues that it is useful sometimes to look at philosophies and perspectives which are not the orthodox nor dominant ones (especially with a conservative legal academy), to assist in the development of a robust base on which constructs of law may be founded in an interdependent world. In particular it argues that the philosophical dimensions of Taoism, as supposedly articulated by Lao-Tzu in the ancient and celebrated text The Tao Te Ching may be used to help explain the interplay of forces which is informing the development of E-law in the EU (or EU -E-Law).

Establishing a multi-professional, comparative health law clinic that would focus on serving individuals living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) would serve two objectives of the Law & Health Care Program (L&HCP) at Maryland: to increase interprofessional education opportunities and to expose law students to more global health law issues.

An engagement is the legal relationship that men and women will marry in the future, and the man will hand over or deliver property as the dowry to the woman as the evidence of engagement. However, the law does not force the man and woman to make an engagement before; hence, the man and the woman can enter into the marriage without having the engagement. According to Thai Law, the engagement shall be made when the man and the woman who are expressing their intentions to enter into the engagement contract is seventeen years of age or above. If the engagement condition is violated, it is void. I...

This work analyzes so-called computable laws, i.e., laws that can be enforced by automatic procedures, and proposes desiderata to be fulfilled by computation, and provides a critical platform from which to assess existing laws and a guideline for composing future ones.

This article focuses on individual perceptions of the legal protection afforded to living apart together (LAT) partners in Belgium. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 54 individuals engaged in an LAT partnership, this study explores the meaning LAT individuals attach to their union and investigates the relationship between their understanding of their relationship, their legal expectations and views on legal reform. Our findings indicate that, in Belgium, LAT individuals do not expect marriage-like family law legal provisions within their union. On the other hand – given the nature of ...

ADMISSION to the bar is by law restricted to natural persons of good moral character, who have passed an examination attesting to their educational qualifications and skill, and who have taken an oath to uphold the laws of the state and the honor of their profession.1 The practice of law by unlicensed persons is punishable either by fine or imprisonment, or both, either on statutory authority,2 or in the absence of a specific legislative prohibition, by reason of the court's inherent power.3 "Having power to determine who shall and who shall not practice law in this state," said Mr. Justice Or...

This book provides 13 labs spanning the common topics in the first semester of university-level physics. Each lab is designed to use only the student's smartphone, laptop and items easily found in big-box stores or a hobby shop. Each lab contains theory, set-up instructions and basic analysis techniques. All of these labs can be performed outside of the traditional university lab setting and initial costs averaging less than $8 per student, per lab.

The second law of thermodynamics has various formulations. There is the “Clausius formulation,” which can be stated in a very intuitive way: “No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooler to a hotter body.” There is also the “Kelvin-Plank principle,” which states that “no cyclic process exists whose sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and the conversion of all this heat into work” [emphasis added] (since this would require perfect energy conversion efficiency). Both these statements can be presented to physics students in a conceptual manner,...

Starting from theories about the purposes of family law, this chapter addresses first how to decide what the appropriate legal treatment of any group should be. Focusing on the economic relationships between LAT partners and the caregiving they provide for one another, I argue that the law should support and facilitate LATs’ mutual caretaking—by extending hospital visitation rights to LAT partners, for example, including them within the class of persons eligible for family and medical leave to care for a partner, making it possible for them to cover one another under their health insurance pol...
