Authorisation in Grid Computing
No full textThis paper briefly surveys how authorisation in Grid computing has evolved during the last few years, and presents the latest developments in which Grid applications can utilise a policy controlled authorisation infrastructure to make decisions about which users are allowed to perform which actions on which Grid resources. The paper describes the Global Grid Forum SAML interface for connecting policy based authorisation infrastructures to Grid applications, and then describes the PERMIS authorisation infrastructure which has implemented this interface. The paper concludes with suggestions about how this work will evolve in the future
Il logos inciso nell'argilla. Ricordo di John Chadwick
No full textOn the centenary of the birth of John Chadwick (who, together with Michael Ventris, deciphered the Cretan script "Linear B"), the author, who knew him personally and corresponded with him, reconstructs and relates unpublished aspects of how Chadwick arrived at his discoveries, thanks to his military decryption experiences during the Second World War. Philosophy had flourished on Greek soil several centuries after Linear B, yet we cannot help but recognise that its basic constituent, the logos, the word as the expression of (future) thought, was indeed born on the clay tablets of Crete.Nel centenario della nascita di John Chadwick (il quale decifrò insieme a Michael Ventris la scrittura cretese “Lineare B”), l’autore, che lo conobbe personalmente ed ebbe con lui uno scambio epistolare, ricostruisce e riferisce aspetti inediti di come Chadwick giunse alle sue scoperte, grazie a esperienze di decrittazione militare risalenti alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La filosofia era fiorita sul suolo greco diversi secoli dopo la Lineare B, eppure non possiamo fare a meno di riconoscere che il suo costituente basilare, il logos, la parola in quanto espressione del pensiero (futuro), era davvero nato sulle tavolette d’argilla di Creta

Piracy and the Origins of Universal Jurisdiction : :On Stranger Tides? /
No full textIn Piracy and the Origins of Universal Jurisdiction , Mark Chadwick relates a colourful account of how and why piracy on the high seas came to be considered an international crime, subject to the principle of universal jurisdiction prosecutable by any State in any circumstances. Merging international and domestic law, history, literature, and sociology, the author weaves an intricate tale that reveals the pirate to be the original "enemy of mankind" and forerunner of today's international criminals: those who commit genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression. In so doing, Mark Chadwick proposes a convincing reappraisal of the pirate's role in the crystallisation of international criminal law, bringing much-needed clarity to a disputed area of international legal history

Chadwick, Liverpool and the bomb.
No full textThe author intends to set out in this thesis Chadwick's scientific and diplomatic
contribution to the development of the atomic bombs that ended World War Two. The
far-reaching consequences of Chadwick's efforts to establish a nuclear physics research
prograrmne, both academic and commercial, in austere post-war Britain are also shown.
A brief history of Chadwick's academic career, at Manchester, Cambridge and Liverpool
Universities is given, which indicate how his intimate knowledge of atomic and nuclear
physics culminated in the building of a state-of-the-art 37" pole diameter cyclotron at
Liverpool University. The help that Lawrence and his colleagues generously and freely
gave to Chadwick is also acknowledged.
The crucial role of the Liverpool cyclotron in determining the necessary nuclear fission
cross-section measurements needed to establish the feasibility of an atomic bomb, is also
discussed. Chadwick's precise and penetrating insight of the bomb's feasibility, was
presented in the final Maud Report that was sent, prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbour,
to the U.S.A. It was this Report that convinced the Americans that an atomic bomb was
a feasible and obtainable objective and started, as a matter of urgency, American fission
bomb research.
A brief history of fission and the events surrounding its discovery is also presented, as is a
comparative discussion on the German and Japanese progress in atomic bomb research
in World War Two.
It would not have been possible to give specific details of many of the above events
without primary source material to substantiate them The author has located a large
number of previously un-published letters, documents and photographs - only some of
which have been included - but all of which are being incorporated into a Chadwick
Archive at Liverpool University
