Preview: Riddle: It does exist. But it will never return. What is it? Americans value time and save it carefully. Time is a real, precious resource to them so every minute must count. Visitors may think Americans are always in rush and under pressure. Smiles and short conversations, and small exchanges with strangers don't exist because Americans dislike

1. The present paper is intended to inform and stimulate discussion about the rule of law, with a focus on issues that are important for the development and maintenance of effective criminal justice systems. It will be seen that there are differing concepts of the rule of law and that taken broadly it covers a very wide range of legal and social issues. To permit discussion on a uniform basis, the paper

Cross-flow filtration (CFF) also known as tangential flow filtration is not of recent origin. It began with the development of reverse osmosis (RO) more than three decades ago. Industrial RO processes include desalting of sea water and brackish water, and recovery and purification of some fermentation products. The cross-flow membrane filtration technique was next applied to the concentration and fractionation ofmacromolecules commonly recognized

In this paper we discuss the role of the media in pressuring corporate managers and directors to behave in ways that are \socially acceptable. Sometimes this coincides with shareholders' value maximization others not. We provide both anecdotal and systematic evidence that media affect companies' policy toward the environment and the amount of corporate resources that are diverted to the sole advantage of controlling shareholders. Our results have important consequences for the focus of the corporate governance debate and for the feasibility of reforms aimed at improving corporate governance around the

Lecture 9 Blending Surfaces 9.1 Examples and motivation Blending surfaces, providing a smooth connection between various primary or functional sur- faces, are very common in CAD. Examples include blending surfaces between Fuselage and wings of airplanes Propeller or turbine blade and hub Bulbous bow and ship hull Primary faces of solid models
