Benzothiadiazoles And Dipyrrolyl Quinoxalines With Extended Conjugated Chromophores−Fluorophores And Anion Sensors, Dmitry Aldakov, Manuel A. Palacios, Pavel Anzenbacher Jr.

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Stable fluorescent chromophores find use in a growing number of practical applications, including their utility as laser dyes,1 emitters in light-emitting diodes,2 photoconductors,3 optical data storage,4 and optical switches.5 Stable fluorophores with high quantum yields are widely used in fluorescent sensors6 and labels.7 These became very popular lately, owing to their potential for high sensitivity at low concentration coupled with decreased cost of the required equipment.8 Recently, we have described a new class of fluorescent anion sensors bearing extended conjugated chromophores9 with incorporated 2,3-di(1H-2-pyrrolyl)quinoxaline, (DPQ), as the anion recognition element.10 Literature shows that DPQ binds anions via hydrogen bonding between …

Natural Allies? Regional Security In Asia And Prospects For Indo-American Strategic Cooperation, Stephen J. Blank Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

One of the hallmarks of the two Bush administrations' foreign and defense policies has been a growing rapprochement with India. Indeed, in June 2005 the U.S. Government signed a defense agreement with that country. In part, this rapprochement is driven by and coincides with India's increasingly visible role as a major Asian power. This monograph seeks to illuminate India's rising power and capabilities with regard to the key regions on its periphery: the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. The author also considers the major issues pertaining to India's bilateral defense agenda with the United States. By revealing the …

Sweden’S Use Of Commercial Information Technology For Military Applications, Franklin D. Kramer, John C. Cittadino

Defense Horizons

Sweden, a nation of only 9 million people with a political climate that has fostered a posture of nonalignment for over half a century, has nevertheless maintained highly credible, modern, and high-technology military forces. Sweden has expanded the mission of forces originally designed for the Cold War to include international peacekeeping. The focus of this study is the Swedish formula for achieving the high-technology military capabilities that successfully compensate for a small standing force. What policies and processes enabled the Swedish military to take advantage of leading-edge producers of commercial information technology (CIT)? What lessons does the Swedish model hold …

Russia And Nato: Increased Interaction In Defense Research And Technology, Donald C. Daniel, Michael I. Yarymovych

Defense Horizons

As a member of both the Partnership for Peace and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)–Russia Council (NRC), Russia enjoys remarkable status in an alliance formed principally to counter Soviet aggression. Active participation in one additional element of NATO—the Research and Technology Organization (RTO)—would offer unique opportunities to enhance relationships and mutual security. The RTO is the largest organization of its type in the world, has an extremely active program of work, and is eager to work with Russia.

Enhanced cooperation between NATO and Russia in defense-related research and technology would not be easy. Mistrust is an obstacle, as is …

Failed States, Or The State As Failure?, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article seeks to challenge a basic assumption of international law and policy, arguing that the existing state-based international legal framework stands in the way of developing effective responses to state failure. It offers an alternative theoretical framework designed to spark debate about better legal and policy responses to failed states. Although the article uses failed states as a lens to focus its arguments, it also has broad implications for how we think about sovereignty, the evolving global order, and the place of states within it.

State failure causes a wide range of humanitarian, legal, and security problems. Unsurprisingly, given …

Divergence And Diversity In Post-Communist European Human Rights Cases, James A. Sweeney

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The enlargement of the Council of Europe at the end of the Cold War presents many significant challenges for its most well know creation, the European Court of Human Rights.' Given the prolific nature of the Court's jurisprudence both within and outside Europe, the implications of the Court's response for international human rights law are profound. This article explores the influence of the "local context" upon the Court's reasoning in cases brought against the newer members of the Council of Europe from Central and Eastern Europe.

In an important sense, the local context gives rise to every case brought before …

Validation Of Lower Limb Surrogates As Injury Assessment Tools In Floor Impacts Due To Anti-Vehicular Landmine Explosions, Ana Barbir

Wayne State University Theses

The aim of this study is to assess the ability of lower limb surrogates to predict injury due to floor impact in military vehicles during anti-vehicular (AV) landmine explosions. Most such surrogates have originally been constructed for use in automotive crash applications, where footwell intrusion is the main source of lower limb injury. Land mine explosions, however, create different loading conditions on the lower leg. Comparatively, the peak loads are higher but the durations are shorter and the loading occurs axially through the tibia, instead of the axial loading combined with foot rotation that is often observed in automotive applications. …

Optimizing Mine Action Policies And Practice, Alan Bryden

Global CWD Repository

Landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) affect communities and individuals long after conflicts end and therefore have a profound effect on opportunities for post-conflict peacebuilding. In the immediate post-conflict phase the presence, or simply the threat, of landmines can hamper refugee return and the implementation of humanitarian assistance programmes. They pose a long-term social, economic and environmental threat that denies the use of fertile land and access to water and affects flows of people, goods and services. There is also an important security risk from abandoned explosive ordnance stockpiles or caches which, if not properly secured or destroyed following the end …

The Nato Response Force: Facilitating Coalition Warfare Through Technology Transfer And Information Sharing, Jeffrey P. Bialos, Stuart L. Koehl

Defense and Technology Papers

This study is an examination of the issues associated with transferring U.S. technology and information needed for standing up such an advanced force for early entry into high-intensity conflicts. It also makes a number of additional observations about the nature of 21st century coalition warfighting, the centrality of network-centric warfare to coalition operations, and the importance and complexity of improving force interoperability in an increasingly network-centric environment.
