Problems and Solutions for New Member States in Implementing the JHA Acquis. CEPS Working Documents No. 212, 1 October 2004
No full textThe pace of development of the justice and home affairs (JHA) acquis has been quite impressive, especially since the Amsterdam Treaty (and the new Title IV), which has offered a new legal basis and possibilities for progress in this area. After the entry into force of the Single European Act, the balance has been moving increasingly from national towards European Union solutions in JHA. At first the process was steady, but slow. This is unsurprising given that it was the first attempt by a supranational organisation to address problems such as immigration or cooperation in criminal matters. The already voluminous JHA acquis is still evolving. Most of the text is legally binding, yet only a small part of the Treaty objectives of Title IV TEC and Title VI TEU have been implemented so far. The challenge for the enlarged EU regarding the JHA acquis is therefore a dual one (Monar 2004): · ‘maintaining’ the acquis in the sense of preserving what has already been achieved and ensuring that it is effectively implemented; and · ‘developing’ the acquis in the sense of making certain that the momentum is not lost. This paper examines the key post-enlargement challenges in JHA – the problems and solutions that are incumbent to the implementation of the JHA acquis and how the lack of mutual trust can be overcome to enhance decision-making and implementation capabilities after the enlargement of 1 May 2004
The External Dimension of EU Justice and Home Affairs: Tools, Processes, Outcomes. CEPS Working Document No. 303, September 2008
No full textThis working document offers a conceptual framework for understanding the processes underpinning the external dimension of EU Justice and Home Affairs (ED-JHA). Practically, it defines how the export of JHA principles and norms inform the geopolitical ambitions of the EU, i.e. the use of space for political purposes, or the control and management of people, objects and movement. The author begins by investigating how the ENP reconfigures the ED-JHA, and then goes on to discuss various conceptual stances on governance, specifically institutionalism, constructivism, and policy instruments. To conclude he traces the evolution of this external dimension, emphasising, whenever possible, its continuities and bifurcations. Overall, the aim is to ascertain the extent to which conceptual designs clarify or advance our knowledge of the contents and rationales of the ED-JHA

DFT study of guest-responsive cooperative effects: Inclusion complexation of alcohols with calix[4]pyrrole
No full textAbstract: Herein, we report guest-responsive structural changes and cooperative effects in inclusion complexes of meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole. A series of lower alcohol guests were modeled using the density functional theory at B97D/6-311 + G* and ωB97D/6-311 + G* level of approximation to study their thermochemical properties and complexation geometries. Results of binding energies of CP:1-alcohol and CP:2-alcohol complexes indicated that the methylene glycol exhibited strongest binding, whereas ethane-1,2-diol has the highest cooperative effects. Attempts were also made to address the cooperative effects by correlating them with the partial charges (Hirshfeld, Atomic Dipole Corrected Hirshfeld) and the second-order energy interactions.

Dynamics and Charge Fluctuations in Large-q Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Lattices
No full textIt is known that the large- complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) dot thermalizes instantaneously under rather general dynamical protocols. We consider a lattice of such dots coupled together, allowing for body hopping of particles between nearest neighbors. We develop a rather general analytical framework to study the dynamics to leading order in on such a lattice, allowing for arbitrary time dependent couplings, hence general dynamical protocols. We find that the physics of the diffusive case is effectively the same as the kinetic case , assuming . Remarkably, we find that the local charge densities form a closed set of equations. They however only show fluctuations of the order , hence remaining constant in the limit . Despite this effective lack of charge dynamics, the dots do not in fact behave as isolated lattice sites which would thermalize instantaneously. Indeed, we show via a proof by contradiction that such instantaneously thermalize is not generally possible for a connected lattice. Importantly, the results are shown to be independent of the dimensionality of the lattice.Same as published version with two minor typo corrections in Eqs. (4) and (8), 15 pages, 1 figur
