Promoting global Internet freedom: policy and technology
No full textThis report provides information about US government and private sector efforts to promote and support global Internet freedom and a description of Internet freedom legislation and hearings from the 112th Congress.
Modern communication tools such as the Internet provide a relatively inexpensive, accessible, easy-entry means of sharing ideas, information, and pictures around the world. In a political and human rights context, in closed societies when the more established, formal news media is denied access to or does not report on specified news events, the Internet has become an alternative source of media, and sometimes a means to organize politically.
The openness and the freedom of expression allowed through social networking sites, as well as the blogs, video sharing sites, and other tools of today’s communications technology, have proven to be an unprecedented and often disruptive force in some closed societies. Governments that seek to maintain their authority and control the ideas and information their citizens receive are often caught in a dilemma: they feel that they need access to the Internet to participate in commerce in the global market and for economic growth and technological development, but fear that allowing open access to the Internet potentially weakens their control over their citizens.
Internet freedom can be promoted in two ways, through legislation that mandates or prohibits certain activities, or through industry self regulation. Current legislation under consideration by Congress, the Global Online Freedom Act of 2011 (H.R. 3605), would prohibit or require reporting of the sale of Internet technologies and provision of Internet services to “Internetrestricting countries” (as determined by the State Department). Some believe, however, that technology can offer a complementary and, in some cases, better and more easily implemented solution to ensuring Internet freedom. They argue that hardware and Internet services, in and of themselves, are neutral elements of the Internet; it is how they are implemented by various countries that is repressive. Also, Internet services are often tailored for deployment to specific countries; however, such tailoring is done to bring the company in line with the laws of that country, not with the intention of allowing the country to repress and censor its citizenry. In many cases, that tailoring would not raise many questions about free speech and political repression.
This report provides information about federal and private sector efforts to promote and support global Internet freedom and a description of Internet freedom legislation and hearings from the 112th Congress. Three appendixes suggest further reading on this topic and describe censorship and circumvention technologies

The development of organolead reagents in organic synthesis
No full textThis thesis describes the synthesis of novel lead(IV) tetracarboxylates and the development of their use in carbon-carbon bond formation processes, with a particular emphasis on the construction of chiral, quaternary centres. Organolead(IV) tricarboxylates have been widely used in the functionalisation of a range of β-dicarbonyl compounds, and the available evidence suggests that these reactions occur by a ligand coupling mechanism. For this reason, by using chiral lead(IV) compounds, it may be possible to achieve a transfer of asymmetry in the bond formation reaction. A variety of achiral and chiral dicarboxylic acid ligands were synthesised, either by reaction of phthalic or camphoric anhydride with a range of diols, or by elaboration of the camphoric acid skeleton directly. A range of novel lead(IV) compounds were constructed using these ligands, both as bis-complexes and as mixed ligand complexes. The complexes were characterised by a combination of IR and NMR techniques, including 207Pb NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The reactivity of some of the complexes was demonstrated via reaction with allyltributyltm. The lead(IV) complexes were used in the α-phenylation of a range of β-dicarbonyl substrates. Yields ranged from poor to excellent, but in all cases the enantiomeric excesses of the reactions were found to be no greater than 12%. Studies of these complexes by 207Pb NMR spectroscopy revealed that each complex was present as more than one species in solution, which is thought to be the reason for the poor overall transfer of chirality in the phenylation reactions. The arylation procedure uses catalytic mercury(II) acetate, which can in turn introduce further potential ligands to the exchanging system. It was found that alternative catalysts, such as mercury(II) chloride, could be used successfully in the α-phenylation reaction

Effects of cannibalism, maternal age and varying fish selectivity in age structured models of deep water hake populations
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 55-61).An Age Structured Model (ASM) was develop in which dynamic and density-dependent cannibalism was included as a top-down control on a modeled population of M. paradoxus which used spawner biomass and maternal based recruitment. The ASM was used to evaluate the effects cannibalism had on age structure, recruitment and spawner biomass of the modeled population. The development of the model was described and evaluated with special emphasis on incorporating cannibalism and maternal based recruitment
