Agri-food Trade Specialisation Pattern in the New EU Member States
No full textThe paper analyses development of agri-food trade specialisation pattern in eight EU Member States of the 2004 and 2007 enlargements (NMS) during the period 2000 – 2005. Over the period analysed, the NMS were not able to hold trade positions in the most competitive commodities, but on the other hand, positions of a number of previously uncompetitive commodities improved. We show convergence of dynamism of agri-food trade specialisation across NMS in trade with the partners/groupings investigated.agri-food trade, specialisation, EU Member States of 2004 and 2007 enlargements, International Relations/Trade,

Dissertatio inauguralis of Serbian poet Laza Kostić: 'De legibus serbicis Stephani Uros Dusan'
No full textOn the basis of the archival material he recently discovered, the author provides the answer to the question he asked in his recently published paper: 'Defense of doctorate by Serbian poet Laza Kostić in Pest in 1866: Dissertatio or Theses?' By analyzing the previously unknown contents of Kostić's doctoral diploma and original records from his doctoral examinations at the Royal University in Pest (1864-1866), the author concludes that Laza Kostić was awarded the title of 'Doctor of General Law', both civil and canonical (doctor universi iuris, utriusque iuris), on the basis of defending the work of a smaller volume 'Theses e(x) scientiis juridicis et politicis', but also by the presentation of dissertatio inauguralis called 'De legibus serbicis Stephani Uros Dusan'. The author believes that this information significantly complements our knowledge of the study of Dušan's legislation in the mid-nineteenth century and enables us to better understand the overall extent of Serbian cultural elite in Hungary at that time
Early Diagenesis of Plitvice Lakes Waterfall and Barrier Treavertine Deposits
No full textTravertine forms spectacular waterfalls, barriers, and subaqueous finegrained lake-fill accumulations throughout the Plitvice National Park, Croatia, northwestern Yugoslavia. Barrier deposits form dams, behind which, the lakes of the Plitvice complex are situated. Three generations of low-magnesian calcite spar comprise the waterfall and barrier forming travertines. The initial precipitates generally are composed of cloudy, very finely to medium crystalline equant to bladed spar. A later generation is composed of clear, isopachous layers of medium to coarsely crystalline bladed crystals. Additionally, centimeter-thick laminated speleothem-like crusts, composed of clear, bladed to columnar spar, are the common precipitates around micritic accumulations within the older travertine. In comparison, the lake-fill deposits are primarily composed of moderately (recent lake-fill deposits) to well-developed (relict lake-fill deposits) 3-8 ^m calcite rhombohedrons. Petrographie analyses clearly show that cyanobacteria, fungi, and/or other microbial organisms bore into the spar and micritize it. This sparmicritization is pervasive throughout the waterfall and barrier deposits. Bladed spar crystals range from those which are pristine to those whose original bladed morphology can only be interpreted by comparison with laterally adjacent crystals. Individual samples display multiple generations of spar which have undergone various degrees of sparmicritization. Sparmicritization results in a thoroughly micritized accumulation in which evidence of the original spar composition has been completely obliterated.Le travertin est à l'origine de la formation de chutes spectaculaires, de barrières et de dépôts lacustres subaquatiques à grains fins partout dans le parc national Plitvice, en Croatie. Les barrières de travertin forment des barrages derrière lesquels est situé le complexe des lacs Plitvice. La chute et les barrières de travertin comprennent trois générations de sparites de calcite à basse teneur de magnésium. Les précipitations initiales sont généralement composées de sparite à cristaux impurs très fins à moyens allant de la forme isométrique à celle de la lame. Une génération subséquente est constituée de couches transparentes isopaques de cristaux plus ou moins fins en forme de lame. De plus, les croûtes laminées de l'ordre du centimètre, constituées de sparite en lame ou colonnaire, représentent le type de précipitations habituellement observées autour des accumulations de micrite à l'intérieur des plus anciens travertins. Par contre, les dépôts de remblaiement lacustre comprennent surtout des rhomboèdres de calcite de 3 à 8 p.m. Les analyses pétrographiques montrent clairement que les cyanobactéries, les champignons ou autres organismes microbiens creusent la sparite et la micritise. Cette micritisation de la sparite est répandue partout dans la chute et les dépôts de barrière. Les cristaux de sparite en lame comprennent ceux qui sont anciens et ceux dont la morphologie originelle en lame ne peut être interprétée qu'à l'aide des cristaux latéraux adjacents. Certains échantillons montrent de nombreuses générations de sparites qui ont subi une micritisation plus ou moins intense. La micritisation de la sparite résulte en une accumulation complètement micritisée où la composition originelle de la sparite a été oblitérée.Kaiktuff bildet pràchtige Wasserfàlle, Barrieren und feinkômige Unterwasser-Seeablagerungen quer durch den gesamten Nationalpark von Plitvice, Kroatien, nordwestliches Jugos-lawien. Die Travertin-Barrieren bilden Dàrnme, hinter denen sich die Gesamtheit der Seen von Plitvice befindet. Der Wasserfall und die Travertin-Barrieren umfassen drei Generationen von Kalkspat mit niedrigem Magnesiumgehalt. Die anfànglichen Ausscheidungen bestanden im allgemeinen aus Spat mit trùben, sehr feinen bis mittleren Kristallen von isometrischer Form bis Plàttchen-Form. Eine spâtere Generation besteht aus klaren, isopachen Schichten von mittleren bis grob kristallinischen Plâttchen-Kristallen. AuGerdem sind zentimeterdicke blàttrige Krusten, bestehend aus reinem blattbis saulenfôrmigem Spat die ùblichen Ausscheidungen um die mikritische Akkumulationen innerhalb der âlteren Travertine. Hingegen bestehen die See-auffùllungs-Ablagerungen vor allem aus mâBig (neuere Seeauffùllungs-Ablagerungen) bis gut entwickelten (frùhere See-auffùllungs-Ablagerungen) Kalkspat-Rhom-boedern von 3-8 jj.m. Die Gesteinsanalysen zeigen deutlich, daB die Zyanbakterien, Pilze und andere Mikroorganismen den Spat aushôhlen und ihn mikritisieren. Dièse Spat-Mikritisierung durchdringt den Wasserfall und die Barriereablagerungen. Die Spatplattchenkristalle reichen von den ursprùnglichen bis zu denen, deren ursprungliche Plâttchenmorphologie nur durch Vergleich mit lateral angrenzenden Kristallen interpretiert werden kann. Einzelne Proben zeigen zahlreiche Generationen von Spat, die verschiedene Grade der Spat-Mikritisierung durchlaufen haben. Spat-Mikritisierung fùhrt zu einer Mikritisierungs-Anhâufung, in welcher die ursprungliche Spatzusammensetzung getilgt worden ist
Measurement of the 14C activity of the ANU sucrose secondary standard by means of the proportional counter technique
No full textA systematic crosschecking of the NBS oxalic acid standard, the ANU Sucrose secondary standard, and the RB oak tree rings grown in 1858 5 and 1890 5 has been performed using the proportional counter technique. Details on the counter gas (methane) purification are given. Corrections of count rates due to changes of barometric pressure and ambient temperature are applied and discussed. Results of measurements are presented and the ratios between mean activities of the NBS oxalic, ANU sucrose and RB oak samples are given
Szerbia államiságának kezdetei
No full textThe author describes the rising of the constitutionalism of Serbia in this paper. First he introduces the Slavic peoples and nations. The next chapters contain the history of the development of the uniform Serbian state. The author writes the political biography of the most important Serbian kings like Stefan Nemanja and Stefan Dusan "the Great". Nemanja established the state and the dynasty of the Nemanjics in the 12'h century. The golden age of the kingdom was in the middle of the le century during the rule of Stefan Dusan who became an emperor in 1346. After his death the Serbian Empire fell into pieces. The author pays attention on the legislation, the law and the jurisdiction of the state as well. Finally the Serbian Kingdom was occupied by the Turkish Empire in the 15" century
Differential games and applications to counter-terrorism
No full textThe application of dynamic games to the study of terrorism has the potential to provide insight for policymakers on the behavior of terrorists and inform them how best response to terror threats. We studied several applications of differential games to counter-terrorism and analyzed the usefulness of each approach. We also discussed possible future research topics.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, John Nguyen, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-19 at 11:33.The student, John Nguyen, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-19 at 11:40.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-19 at 15:02.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9336 on 2016-07-07 at 13:50:06Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:27:45Z (GMT).
