    Sur une conjecture de Tadic

    No full text
    Let F be a non-archimedian field of characteristic zero and D a central division algebra over F of finite dimension d2. For all positive integer r, set G'r = GL(r,D). In 1990, M. Tadic gave a conjectural classification of the unitary dual of the G'r, and five statements denoted U0, ... , U4, which imply the classification. M. Tadic proved U3 and U4. Also, U0 and U1 imply U2. These statements, and the resulting classification are the natural generalization of the case D = F completely solved by M. Tadic in 1986. Here we prove U1. Thus, the classification of the unitary dual of the G'r is now reduced to the conjecture U0, which states that a parabolically induced representation from an irreducible unitary representation is irreducible

    This thesis focuses on the criminalisation in international law of violations of international humanitarian law committed in internal armed conflict. The ICTY Appeals Chamber Decision on Jurisdiction in the Tadic case is analysed. The Decision confirms the customary development of the law of war crimes to include the criminality in international law of offences committed in internal armed conflict. Thus the emphasis is on proceedings before the Ad Hoc International Tribunals. The thesis describes the customary development of the law of war crimes by highlighting the method employed by Judges and the Prosecutor to allow for the maximum reach of the law. A major limitation they have encountered is that, though offences in internal conflict now entail individual criminal responsibility in international law, the disparate treatment of violations in internal conflicts versus violations in international conflicts has not been superseded. This treatment has consequences for the elements of the definition of war crimes: the character of the conflict remains an element of the crime even though it is indifferent to moral fault. In this connection, the strategies employed by the Prosecutor to avoid engaging in contentious and lengthy conflict classification are reviewed. The disparate treatment of violations in internal and international conflicts is traced to the 'two-box' approach to international humanitarian law, which in turn stems from states' choice to be less restricted in their conduct in an internal armed conflict than they would be in an international conflict. This work recognises the limits posed by the law as it stands today: the recurrent theme throughout the thesis is the paramount importance of the principle of non retroactive application of criminal law

    La "metafísica" de Kelsen o Ljubomir Tadic "corrige" a Hans Kelsen

    El connotado profesor de la Universidad de Belgrado, señor Ljubomir Tadic, ha escrito un polémico ensayo en el cual analiza las relaciones poco amistosas que han existido a lo largo de más de cincuenta años entre Kelsen y el Marxismo, deteniéndose especialmente en algunos tópicos de la Teoría Pura del Derecho (T. P. D.). Estas notas pretenden ser un comentario crítico de los diversos asertos que Tadic dirige contra la T.P.D. y su fundador; por lo mismo tienen un carácter algo rígido, ya que buscan examinar exhaustivamente los argumentos allí expuestos; perdone el lector lo fatigoso que pueda resultar este escrito, riesgo que por lo demás es insalvable debido a que la naturaleza misma del trabajo exige constantes citas del texto comentado y de algunos otros.

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    No full text
    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
