The Responsibility to Protect: Norms, Laws and the Use of Force in International Politics
No full textThis volume is a collection of the key writings of Professor Ramesh Thakur on norms and laws regulating the international use of force. The adoption of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle by world leaders assembled at the UN summit in 2005 is widely acknowledged to represent one of the great normative advances in international politics since 1945. The author has been involved in this shift from the dominant norm of non-intervention to R2P as an actor, public intellectual and academic and has been a key thinker in this process. These essays represent the author's writings on R2P, including reference to test cases as they arose, such as with Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008. Comprising essays by a key thinker and agent in the Responsibility to Protect debates, this book will be of much interest to students of international politics, human rights, international law, war and conflict studies, international security and IR in general
Novel Design of Cocured Composite ‘T’ Joints with Integrally Woven 3D Inserts
No full textComposites can be exploited to their full potential when cocured, wherein different parts are made and bonded together in a single cure operation to realise an integral structure. The key element in a typical cocured construction is T-joint, which forms the primary load transfer mechanism between the skin and stiffener in a structural assembly. T-joints are particularly vulnerable for pull off loads and researchers are looking at various techniques to improve the pull strength viz. stitching, tufting, 3D weaving, multilayer weaving, 3D braiding and the like. The present work uses a novel technique to improve the strength of T-joints by employing a hybrid design wherein an integral 3D ‘T’ insert is interleaved with a conventional T-joint. Inserts were woven using 3K and 6K carbon tows and incorporated in T-joints using CSIR-NAL proprietary process called ‘Vacuum Enhanced Resin Infusion Technology (VERITy)’ process. Several configurations of T-joints were tested in an UTM in the pull mode till the failure to assess the efficacy of integrally woven 3D inserts. It was observed that the initial failure load was nearly the same across the various T-joint configurations tested whereas the maximum failure loads were quite different. The normalised strength of T-joints with integrally woven 3D inserts in pull off mode was enhanced by about 30% when compared T-joints without the insert and thus vindicating the usage of integrally woven 3D insert in a cocured T-joint. The insert is conceived in such a way that it can be easily incorporated in the design of cocured structures
The Life Model of Nisargadatta Maharaj as Interpreted by Ramesh Balsekar
No full textRamesh Balsekar (1917–2009) was a disciple of Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897–1981). Nisargadatta Maharaj lived in Bombay and taught what he realized: For doing our dharma everything is provided for us. Thus we can focus our attention on discovering “Who one is“ and let life flow. In 1996 the author of this article had a short conversation with Ramesh Balsekar, who presented his way of understanding the teaching of Nisargadatta Maharaj
A case of T-tube dislocation
No full textIn environments where endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatogram (ERCP) services may at time be limited or unavailable, the surgeon must also decide between the insertion of a conventional T-tube or primary choledochorrhaphy when it is operatively perceived that the common bile duct (CBD) has been adequately cleared. Where the hospital stay of the patients with a T-tube in situ is prolonged, there is a higher incidence of postoperative bacteraemia with a moderate morbidity from biliary leakage after T-tube withdrawal. We report here a case as well as methods designed to prevent tube dislocation and alternatives to T-tube insertion after choledochotomy, whether performed open or laparoscopically

Vapour phase diffusion of ammonia on the first row transition metal series and its effect on the crystallization process: A structural investigation
No full textThe diffusion of ammonia vapors to the magnesium/manganese/nickel nitrate solution results in the formation of their respective metal hydroxides, while the diffusion of ammonia vapors to copper and zinc nitrate solutions results in the crystallization of layered hydroxysalts. The PXRD patterns show that highly crystalline phases of samples are obtained. Infrared spectra were used to get information on the local coordination of ions. The thermogravimetric analysis justifies the phases concluded from powder X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. This clearly demonstrates that the crystal structure is mainly dictated by the nature of the metal ion, its site selectivity and specificity under identical synthesis conditions.
