Computer Software: Should the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods Apply? A Contextual Approach to the Question, 11 Computer L.J. 197 (1991)
No full textThis Article is organized along the following lines. Part I is a general discussion of the Convention. It includes a factual background, a discussion of principle provisions of the Convention, a description of the temporal and geographical spheres of application of the Convention. Part one also suggests the use of available tools for uniform application; and brings the topic of dissemination of interpretation of the Convention up to date. Although article 7 of the Convention generally states an approach to interpretation, further elucidation is necessary to ensure uniformity of application. Accordingly, Part II discusses the various approaches to treaty interpretation and concludes that the New Haven School approach is best suited to carry out the mandate of article 7. Using this selected approach to treaty interpretation, Part III applies the Convention to the question of whether software should be construed as a good and whether a license of software should be treated as the equivalent of a sale. As an additional element of special significance, Part IV addresses the 1992 Unification of Europe through SEA and articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty of Rome. The purpose here is to develop what may be the overriding community goals of the European Economic Community (EEC) as called for by the New Haven School approach. The focus of this paper is on the Convention. However, the Convention has never been interpreted. United States Supreme Court decisions on treaty interpretation are not very helpful in light of article 7 of the Convention, which, as ratified by Congress, is the law of the land

Argonne National Laboratory Report ANL-5003
No full textA method for monitoring radiation damage irradiations using the change of the electrical conductivity of graphite is described. Results of monitoring operations in a number of locations are given. An attempt is made to explain the damage rate found in the converter at CP-3. An estimate of the flux spectrum in VT-4 and the converter of CP-3 is made and the damage rate is computed according to theories of Seitz and James. It is found that the experimental results are more in accord with the predictions of Seitz. A number of corrections to James' report, ORNL-307, are noted in an appendix. It is shown that some information about the fast flux spectrum can be inferred from the radiation damage rate
VARIANCE OF BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF OPPORTUNISTIC STAPHYLOCOCCUS UNDER NEGATIVE AERO IONS INFLUENCE
No full textThe aim. of this research was to study some changes of staphylococcus biological properties under negative aero ions influence and lactobacillus. We applied a disco-diffuse method for detection of bacterial sensitivity to antimicrobials and. evaluated of the minimal inhibitory concentration by bacteriologic analyzer. Then we studied impact of negative aeroions flow on both isolated staphylococcus culture and. mixed with lactobacilli. Aeroions flow inhibits staphylococcal growth, decrease its sensitivity to antibiotics in vitro both in isolated culture, and. mixed with lactobacilli. Combined application of probiotics and. negative aeroions could be a new approach for changes of antimicrobial sensitivity
