Cows on Selsley Common. The "tragedy of the commons" is one way of accounting for overexploitation. The tragedy of the commons is a term used in social science to describe a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action. The concept and phrase originated in an essay written in by the British economist William Forster Lloyd, who used a hypothetical example of the effects of unregulated grazing on common land also known as a "common" in Great Britain and Ireland.
It has been argued that the ver This thesis, which clearly articulated the position for the Catholic Church to take a more inclusive attitude towards homosexuality, was blacklisted by the Church. It was immediately forbidden for sale to minors and was censured. The commons is the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable earth. These resources are held in common, not owned privately. Commons can also be understood as natural resources that groups of people communities, user groups manage for individual and collective benefit.
Characteristically, this involves a variety of informal norms and values social practice employed for a governance mechanism. Charles-Hippolyte Pouthas 19 July — 2 May was a 20th-century French historian specialist of political and religious history of contemporary France. His work on the Second Empire participated to a reassessment from the "black legend" spread by the Republican and liberal historiography of the last third of the nineteenth century, and introduced a more moderate reading of the regime.

Henri was a posthumous child, his father having died nearly six months before his birth. Giovanni Antonio da Brescia, Two women. Lesbianism is the sexual and romantic desire between females.
There are far fewer historical mentions of lesbianism than male homosexuality, due to many historical writings and records focusing primarily on men. Ancient Greece The evidence about female homosexuality in the ancient Greek world is limited, it being hardly mentioned in extant Greek literature. At least among these Athenian men, the discussion and depiction of female homosexual activity seems to have been taboo.

ThyssenKrupp HQ in Essen The Krupp family see pronunciation , a prominent year-old German dynasty from Essen, became famous for their production of steel, artillery, ammunition, and other armaments.
The family business, known as Friedrich Krupp AG, was the largest company in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. It was important to weapons development and production in both world wars. One of the most powerful dynasties in European history, for years Krupp flourished as the premier weapons manufacturer for Germany.
From the Thirty Years' War until the end of the Second World War, they produced everything from battleships, U-boats, tanks, howitzers, guns, utilities, and hundreds of other commodities.
The dynasty began in when a trader named Arndt Krupp moved to Essen and joined the merchants guild. As of , Paris had LGBT bars, clubs, hotels, restaurants, shops, and other commercial businesses. Florence Tamagne, author of "Paris: Sibalis, who notes a twelfth-century poet's description of the city as full of "the vice of Sodom". The French Social Party French: The subject of convents was crucial for Flower as it revealed the threat Catholicism posed to women. Convents were seen as prison-like brothels and sinister priests, much like debauched husbands or the male bosses that took advantage of their females employees, seduced vulnerable nuns, notably at the confessional.
The seduction narratives that pervaded purity literature in the s were adapted to the new crusade, blending with the old captivity tale tradition and the escaped nun motif. If convents were not defiling female purity, his argument went, then why object to inspections that would lift suspicions?
If Flower was cautious about stories of sexual abuse, he nonetheless described women as victims of violence. He denounced the Houses of the Good Shepherd — these convents for juvenile offenders turned out to be brutal prisons for girls. The Menace was a masculine world where women were employed in menial jobs like stenographers or secretaries. Such an obsession with purity could hide repressed desires that found expression in his support for lurid anti-Catholic literature. Austin et Donald A. Hamilton, Is this your son, my lord?

The greening of the U. Department of Energy Headquarters , Washington, D. The Greening of the Department of Energy Headquarters is a comprehensive, multi-year project designed to identify and implement specific actions DOE can take to save energy and money, improve the comfort and productivity of employees, and benefit the environment.
Present Clinton started the Greening of the White House in , and similar efforts have been undertaken by the Department of Defense at the Pentagon, the National Park Service at the Presidio, and now the Department of Energy at the Forrestal and Germantown buildings. The action items were designed to increase energy efficiency, improve resource management, improve air quality, reduce water use, reduce paper use, improve landscape management, improve maintenance and operational procedures, increase employee participation, and promote education and outreach. In the two years since the Action Plan was introduced, the Department of Energy has made major progress in implementing specific action items designed to target four major subject areas: This report outlines the status of the recommendations of the Action Plan since they were introduced two years ago.
The conference emphasizes the role of the IAEA in enlarging the contribution of nuclear energy for peace and development, and ensuring that atomic energy is used at a high level of security and exclusively for peaceful purposes. The Agency was never intended to 'promote' nuclear energy in any commercial sense.
Its role is to be an objective institution that serves as a centre for international norm development, standard setting, independent analysis, expert advice, technology transfer, and impartial oversight and verification. From this perspective, the Director General offers some views on why the international nuclear co-operation, complemented by regional and national activities, is an indispensable part of way forward, highlighting the following areas: The article analyses restricted and gated streets in both different context, Nantes in France and Recife in Brazil.
This double analysis minimizes the effects of context and tries to perceive generic meaning in the restricted city. Starting from observations and interviews with the representatives of local authorities and the dwellers, several examples are used to understand the installation of an obstacle which creates a border and imposes negotiation not necessarily free from tensions between the dwellers group to be formed and the local authorities.
This limit preserves a community of interest, more than a social affinity community. This kind of stability can be frictional or based on a soft consensus. Nevertheless, the ambiguous view of the. NBO charges were analyzed using the Natural population analysis. The absorption spectra for these complexes show wavelength in the visible region. It was revealed that silver clusters interact more strongly with WC pairs than with isolated DNA complexes. Furthermore, it was found that the electronic charge transferred from silver to isolated DNA clusters are less than the electronic charge transferred from silver to the Ag n -WC complexes.
Subtlety of Ambient-Language Effects in Babbling: Prior research on ambient-language effects in babbling has often suggested infants produce language-specific phonological features within the first year. These results have been questioned in research failing to find such effects and challenging the positive findings on methodological grounds. We studied English- and Chinese-learning infants at 8 , 10 , and 12 months and found listeners could not detect ambient-language effects in the vast majority of infant utterances, but only in items deemed to be words or to contain canonical syllables that may have made them sound like words with language-specific shapes.
Thus, the present research suggests the earliest ambient-language effects may be found in emerging lexical items or in utterances influenced by language-specific features of lexical items. Even the ambient-language effects for infant canonical syllables and words were very small compared with ambient-language effects for meaningless but phonotactically well-formed syllable sequences spoken by adult native speakers of English and Chinese. Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial Studies and Corrosion Inhibition Potential of 1,8-dimethyl-1,3,6, 8,10 ,hexaazacyclotetradecane: Experimental and Quantum Chemical Studies.
The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry study on MHACD revealed that it is a redox active compound with promising catalytic properties in electrochemical applications. The adsorption of MHACD obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm; it is spontaneous and involves competitive physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital HOMO of MHACD is high enough to favor forward donation of charges to the metal during adsorption and corrosion inhibition. Natural bond orbital NBO analysis revealed the presence of various orbitals in the MHACD that are capable of donating or accepting electrons under favorable conditions.
The year marks the fifth anniversary of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant NPP and the 30th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. Over experts from around the world participated in the event. All presentations and discussions focused on research results and practical experience from Japan and from countries affected by Chernobyl NPP accident.
This event was a great success in promoting and sharing knowledge and experience related to remediation of radioactive contamination in food and agriculture. From an agricultural perspective, the impacts of these two major accidents are related to caesium radionuclides, specifically "1"3"7Cs, which is a relatively long lived isotope with a half-life of some thirty years. Research and technical efforts to remediate and ameliorate the impact of radioactivity on agricultural production aim to minimize and prevent contamination of foods and other commodities, and further to assist the social and economic recovery of affected rural communities by enabling sustainable production.
However, these efforts are not widely appreciated outside the affected areas. The HOOs have reported reduced alertness on the night shift, leading to a potential deterioration in their on-shift cognitive performance during the early morning hours.

Inadequate public water supply by the Water Board in Abuja has forced the public to source for groundwater as the only alternative for consumption without consideration for radiological risk. The radiological risk for cancer mortality of uranium in Immigration Headquarters Gosa and Federal-Housing Lugbe groundwater water samples were measured and compared with Water Board and hand-dug well water samples from the same area using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The highest radiological risks for cancer mortality and morbidity were found to be low, with highest values of 1. The chemical toxicity risk of "2"3"8U in drinking water over life time consumption has a mean value of 4.
Significantly, this study inferred that the "2"3"8U concentrations reported in groundwater based-drinking originated from sheared zone of magmatic metamorphosed basaltic dyke intrusion. Due to the low risk values found in the water samples when compared with the International Reference Standard, radiological and chemical toxicity risks values may not pose any health risk to the public that rely on groundwater in the area. Kennedy Space Center, Florida. An Virtual Tour of design of the Fascist headquarters in Littoria. Enhancement of cultural heritage is not simply a matter of preserving material objects but comes full circle only when the heritage can be enjoyed and used by the community.
This is the rationale behind this presentation: Although the application is deliberately "simple", it was part of a much broader framework of goals. One such goal was to create "friendly and perceptively meaningful" interfaces by integrating different "3D models" and so enriching. In fact, by exploiting the activation of natural mechanisms of visual perception and the ensuing emotional emphasis associated with vision, the illusionistic simulation of the scene facilitates access to the data even for "amateur" users.
A second goal was to "contextualise the information" on which the concept of cultural heritage is based. In the application, communication of the heritage is linked to its physical and linguistic context; the latter is then used as a basis from which to set out to explore and understand the historical evidence.
A third goal was to foster the widespread dissemination and sharing of this heritage of knowledge. On the one hand we worked to make the application usable from the Web, on the other, we established a reliable, rapid operational procedure with high quality processed data and ensuing contents. The procedure was also repeatable on a large scale. Nuclear Medicine National Headquarter System. They consist of information from all Nano-network with dual temperature and pH responsiveness based on copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with 3,9-divinyl-2,4, 8,10 -tetraoxaspiro[5.
This study refers to the synthesis of a nano-network with dual temperature and pH responsiveness based on the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate HEMA copolymers with a comonomer with spiroacetal moiety and crosslinking capacity, namely 3,9-divinyl-2,4, 8,10 -tetraoxaspiro[5. The copolymers were characterized by FTIR and thermal analysis.
The copolymers sensitivity was evidenced by studying the evolution of the hydrodynamic radius and zeta potential of the polymeric particles as a function of pH. The increase of the particle hydrodynamic radius with the growth of temperature was also put into evidence. These studies were performed to provide accurate cross-section data on materials abundant in experimental setups involving HPGe detectors used to search for rare events, like the neutrino-less double-beta decay of 76Ge. Cross-section results for the strongest transtions in 63Cu and 65Cu will be reported, and will compared to model calculations and to data recently obtained at LANL with a white neutron beam.
The copolymers were synthesized by radical emulsion polymerization, using 4,4'-azobis cyanopentanoic acid as initiator, in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate as tensioactive agent and poly vinyl alcohol as protective colloid.

Objective To master epidemiological condition of iodine nutrition among years old school children in Nangqian County,and to provide evidence for making prevention and control strategy. Methods In ,students aged from the center school in 10 towns of Nangqian County were selected,and instant urinary samples were collected and the urinary iodine was detected with As-Ce catalytic spectrophotometry method,the thyroid volume was measured with B ultrasonic method and IQ test with Combined Raven Test-C2 CRT-C2.
Results Urinary iodine of children were detected,the urinary iodine median of boarding students was Conclusions The difference of the iodine nutrition level between boarding students and commuting students was statistically significant. Coverage rate of iodized salt,urinary iodine levels and thyroid rate are low in Nangqian County,which highlights the epidemiological features of iodine deficiency disorders in this region. Although,iodine deficiency does not cause obvious goiter,intelligence harm should not be ignored. The assessment of the energetic compound 2,4,6, 8,10 ,hexanitro-2,4,6, 8,10 ,Hexaazaisowurtzitane CL degradability in soil.
CL is a relatively new energetic compound with applications in explosive and propellant formulations. Currently, information about the fate of CL in ecological systems is scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate the biodegradability of CL in soil environments. Four soils were used where initial CL concentrations above water solubility ranged from to mg of CL per kg dry soil corresponding to the concentrations derived from unexploded ordnance, low order detonation, or manufacturing spills.
CL appears to be biodegradable in soil under anaerobic conditions, and additions of organic substrates can substantially accelerate this process. However, CL is not degraded in soil under aerobic conditions kept in the dark at temperatures up to 30 deg. C without organic amendments. Additions of starch or cellulose promote the biodegradation of CL under aerobic conditions.
The overall objective of the project was to fully renovate the Civil Defense Headquarters and other buildings on the site to become a fully operational and usable facility.

Part 2 - Experimental Verification Using a. That is something he experiences every day with his colleagues in the Secretariat, and with the Board of Governors. He believes therefore that every one of us is entitled to the right to live in peace, dignity and freedom. The other basic value he shares is that we can go to new heights as human beings, but we can also stoop very low.
He underlines that international institutions right now are indispensable. No single challenge or crisis can be resolved by any one country alone, whether it is arms control, whether it is climate change, whether it is communicable diseases or whether it is distorted ideologies. He stresses that we can only succeed if we are able to work together and at the same time applying basic core values like fairness, equity and human solidarity.
We need international cooperation to implement national policies. He said that the Agency hinges on one key element, namely credibility, and that is based on independence and impartiality. Impartiality does not mean neutrality. It means sticking to what we believe is right, it means what is enshrined in the UN Charter. It is important to stick to the big picture, to stress the linkage between poverty and violence, the linkage between non-proliferation and disarmament.
This is important to understand the root causes of some of the symptoms we are facing. He ends by saying that the Agency would not be here today had it not been for the wonderful people - the staff of this organization, who have spent a lot of time working with the utmost professionalism, dedication and loyalty to this organization - acting as one. It is the key hat Member States act also as one. We have managed to do it in the Secretariat by subscribing to the higher values that connect us all. Two hundred and fifty participants from thirty-five countries were in attendance and discussed papers presented in forty thematic sessions.
Within the overall theme of 'plasma-wall interactions PWI and their implications for impurity generation and transport', four topics of importance to the future development of magnetically confined fusion were discussed in detail. The main issues discussed and the areas identified as requiring further study are summarized here. Twenty two papers by various authors are presented. The topics discussed were as follows: Computational physics and applied mathematics capability review June , The goals of capability reviews are to assess the quality of science, technology, and engineering STE performed by the capability, evaluate the integration of this capability across the Laboratory and within the scientific community, examine the relevance of this capability to the Laboratory's programs, and provide advice on the current and future directions of this capability.
This is the first such review for CPAM, which has a long and unique history at the Laboratory, starting from the inception of the Laboratory in The CPAM capability covers an extremely broad technical area at Los Alamos, encompassing a wide array of disciplines, research topics, and organizations.
A vast array of technical disciplines and activities are included in this capability, from general numerical modeling, to coupled multi-physics simulations, to detailed domain science activities in mathematics, methods, and algorithms.
The CPAM capability involves over 12 different technical divisions and a majority of our programmatic and scientific activities. To make this large scope tractable, the CPAM capability is broken into the following six technical 'themes. Computational Fluid Dynamics - This theme speaks to the vast array of scientific capabilities for the simulation of fluids under shocks, low-speed flow, and turbulent conditions - which are key, historical, and fundamental strengths of the Laboratory.
Partial Differential Equations - The technical scope of this theme is the applied mathematics and numerical solution of partial differential equations broadly defined in a variety of settings, including particle transport, solvers, and plasma physics. This theme discusses these vitally important methods and their application in everything from particle transport, to condensed matter theory, to biology.
Molecular Dynamics - This theme describes the widespread use of molecular dynamics for a variety of important applications, including nuclear energy, materials science, and biological modeling. Discrete Event Simulation - The technical scope of this theme represents a class of complex system evolutions governed by the action of discrete events. Examples include network, communication, vehicle traffic, and epidemiology modeling.
Integrated Codes - This theme discusses integrated applications comprised of all of the supporting science represented in Themes that are of strategic importance to the Laboratory and the nation. The Laboratory has in approximately 10 million source lines of code in over different such strategically important applications. Of these themes, four of them will be reviewed during the review cycle: Themes 1,2, 3, and 6. Because these reviews occur every three years, Themes 4 and 5 will be reviewed in , along with Theme 6 which will be reviewed during each review, owing to this theme's role as an integrator of the supporting science represented by the other five themes.
Separate abstracts were prepared for 2 of the papers in this report. The remaining 26 papers, dealing with the use but not with advances in the use of Moessbauer effect in studies of solid state physics, were considered outside the subject scope of INIS. Olomoucine and Roscovitine are pharmacological inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases CDK displaying a promising profile as anticancer agents.

Full Text Available In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Ni C6H4NO22 C22H34N6], the NiII ion is bonded to the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand in a square-planar fashion and two carboxylate O atoms of the isonicotinate ions in axial positions, resulting in a tetragonally distorted octahedron. O hydrogen-bonding interactions give rise to a one-dimensional supramolecular structure in the solid state.
