The Deregulated Airline Industry: Legal Challenges For The Nineties, Vijayesh D. Roy Jan 1992

The Deregulated Airline Industry: Legal Challenges For The Nineties, Vijayesh D. Roy

LLM Theses and Essays

The United States is one of the few nations where private airline ownership and more than one carrier are permitted, but traditionally the airline industry was heavily regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) with direct regulation of routes, rates, entry, and exit. However with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and the International Air Transportation Competition Act of 1979, Congress removed many restrictions on the airline industry and allowed airlines to make their own economic decisions and operate as traditional commercial enterprises. Although deregulation has produced many benefits like improved efficiency, reduced costs, and a wider range of services, …


Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang Jan 1992

Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang

LLM Theses and Essays

One of the major international transactions today is the transfer of technology between nations. Because the U.S. and China are on opposite ends of the technology spectrum, one an advanced technological nation and the other technologically backward, they make excellent trading partners of technology. China’s history of self-reliance and its modern Open Door policy to realize its Four Modernizations are reviewed. This policy of openness is the key to the modernization of China’s economy through the importing of foreign technology. Likewise, the evolution of U.S. policy toward trade with China is analyzed. The U.S. has moved from a policy of …


Reinsurance: Bad Faith Considerations And Insolvency Dilemma, Hui-Ju Hsieh Jan 1992

Reinsurance: Bad Faith Considerations And Insolvency Dilemma, Hui-Ju Hsieh

LLM Theses and Essays

Reinsurance is insurance that an insurance company purchases from another insurance company. The original insurance company is called the reinsured, and the insurance company that is contracted is called the reinsurer. The main purpose of reinsurance is to disperse or spread the risk of loss. The reinsurance relationship is frequently characterized as an exercise of fiduciary responsibility based upon an undertaking of utmost good faith between contracting parties. However, disputes arise; most litigation involving reinsurance has been between reinsurers and persons not party to the reinsurance agreement. This paper’s first major area of discussion is the relationship between the reinsurer …


Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Kuwayaway Jan 1992

Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Kuwayaway

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this study was to investigate problems in negotiation of international agreements in Third World countries, to shed light on the salient features in negotiation agreements between developed and developing countries, and to propose measures to assess the situation. This study provides detailed description and techniques used in negotiating these agreements in international negotiations. The study reveals that when negotiating within unequal bargaining power, the weak party stands to lose because it enters the agreement without free will; consequently, the agreement becomes unenforceable. Three factors have been identified as being obstacles to freedom of contract, ie. The unequal …


Privatization: A Way To Rethinking The Role Of Government, Abdelsamie E. Elfadil Jan 1992

Privatization: A Way To Rethinking The Role Of Government, Abdelsamie E. Elfadil

LLM Theses and Essays

This LL.M. thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of privatization as an economincally-sound strategy for the provision of public goods and services. The work begins by providing a robust backdrop of the privatization phenomenon by tracing its theoretical foundations, competing defintions, and analyzing the principal techniques of implementation—including divestiture through public share offerings and private sales, load shedding, vouchers, freemarket, user fees, franchise agremeents, and contracting out. The thesis then examines privatization as a means of reducing government size, the potential for franchise agreements to serve as an alternate appoach to public service delivery, and, finally, the critical legal issues arising …


Projective And Non-Projective Systems Of First Order Nonlinear Differential Equations, Riad A. Rejoub Jan 1992

Projective And Non-Projective Systems Of First Order Nonlinear Differential Equations, Riad A. Rejoub

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is well established that many physical and chemical phenomena such as those in chemical reaction kinetics, laser cavities, rotating fluids, and in plasmas and in solid state physics are governed by nonlinear differential equations whose solutions are of variable character and even may lack regularities. Such systems are usually first studied qualitatively by examining their temporal behavior near singular points of their phase portrait.

In this work we will be concerned with systems governed by the time evolution equations [see PDF for mathematical formulas]

The xi may generally be considered to be concentrations of species in a chemical …
