Water Law Documents
The water resources of the Great Lakes Basin are precious public natural resources, shared and held in trust by the Great Lakes States and Provinces. The Great Lakes are valuable regional, national and international resources for which the federal governments of the United States and Canada and the International Joint Commission have, in partnership with the States and Provinces, and important, continuing an abiding role and responsibility. The waters of the Great Lakes Basin are interconnected and part of a single hydrologic system. The multiple uses of these resources for municipal, industrial and agricultural water supply; mining; navigation; hydroelectric power …
Job Satisfaction And Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis, Michelle Iaffaldano [Graef], Paul M. Muchinsky
Job Satisfaction And Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis, Michelle Iaffaldano [Graef], Paul M. Muchinsky
Center on Children, Families, and the Law: Faculty Publications
The assumption that job satisfaction and job performance are related has much intuitive appeal, despite the fact that reviewers of this literature have concluded there is no strong pervasive relation between these two variables. The present meta-analytic study demonstrates that (a) the best estimate of the true population correlation between satisfaction and performance is relatively low (.17); (b) much of the variability in results obtained in previous research has been due to the use of small sample sizes, whereas unreliable measurement of the satisfaction and performance constructs has contributed relatively little to this observed variability in correlations; and (c) nine …
The Interaction Of Public Legal Orders: Impacts Upon Each Other And Upon The Emerging Public Order Of Space, Harry H. Almond
The Interaction Of Public Legal Orders: Impacts Upon Each Other And Upon The Emerging Public Order Of Space, Harry H. Almond
Space Law Documents
The interaction of the public legal orders of states upon each other, and upon the emerging public legal order in outer space, and in general, has long been recognized "by civilized nations." The perspectives of this civilizing process as the perspective of law are critical, because law has always been identified as the assurance of protections it affords to peoples--or to states. This is the correct meaning of "equality before the law." It is also the reason why the concern with human rights goes to the essence of the legitimacy of any legal order. Moreover, the peoples of states, as …
U.S. Law And Space Technology: Land Remote Sensing, Richard Dalbello
U.S. Law And Space Technology: Land Remote Sensing, Richard Dalbello
Space Law Documents
The opportunity for private sector investment in space technology has increased dramatically in very recent times. The commercialization of this technology places new stresses not only on the technical skills of nations, but also on their legal and political institutions. New technologies such as remote sensing, which are inherently global in their effect, suggest the need for laws and legal institutions which have a similarly global perspective. Yet, the commercialization of space technology remains a high risk, long-term endeavor. If the private sector is to have a meaningful role in the development of this technology, such laws and regulations must …
Direct Tv Broadcasts Through Satellite And The Protection Of State Interests, Christo Karakashev
Direct Tv Broadcasts Through Satellite And The Protection Of State Interests, Christo Karakashev
Space Law Documents
Communications play a key role in the flow of information, data and ideas. They are one of the chief element of infrastructure, leading to social changes and economic development. The role of communications increased tremendously with the advent of direct TV broadcasts through satellites which are a powerful means of diffusing information, knowledge and education, as well as of recreation and fun.
An important characteristic of direct TV broadcasts is that various states can broadcast programmes to be received by anyone in the world. In other words these broadcasts do not reckon with state borders and political systems.
Protecting Intellectual Property In Space, Barbara Luxenberg
Protecting Intellectual Property In Space, Barbara Luxenberg
Space Law Documents
with the advent of the space shuttle and serious planning for a future space station, opportunities for profitable private sector activities in space are increasing. Many intellectual property protection issues--that is, issues concerning patent, copyright, and trade secret protection for the products of human creativity--will be raised by space commercialization activities. Space technology is often novel and the body of law protecting it, both nationally and internationally, is still developing. For example, developing technology for space communications raises a number of copyright issues, as does commercialization of remote sensing data. In the United States, protecting intellectual property is considered essential …
United States Government Licensing Of Commercial Space Activities By Private Enterprise, E. Jason Steptoe
United States Government Licensing Of Commercial Space Activities By Private Enterprise, E. Jason Steptoe
Space Law Documents
The paper describes the manner in which the United States is meeting its responsibilities under international law and treaty, including the Outer Space Treaty and the International Liability Convention, for national activities in outer space undertaken by means of launch vehicles or payloads launched from U.S. territory or facilities by private commercial enterprises organized or existing under the laws of the United States.
The paper refers to the international legal framework under which the Government of the United states is organizing to discharge its legal responsibility for such activities, and describes the basis in U.S. municipal law for the actions …
The Sky Is Falling: Managing Space Objects, William B. Wirin
The Sky Is Falling: Managing Space Objects, William B. Wirin
Space Law Documents
All countries who launch space vehicles need to focus their attention on steps necessary to prevent damage to mankind by space objects. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty outlines a nation's liability but not the prevention of such damage. Nuclear power sources (NPS), in particular, demand special procedures and precautions. This paper will discuss the reentry into the earth's atmosphere of radioactive materials (such as occurred with COSMOS 954 and COSMOS 1402), the catalogue of space objects maintained by NORAD, and measures which should be taken to avoid damage to or by space objects and debris. The space catalogue presents the …
Outer Space Arms Control: Existing Regime And Future Prospects, Norman A. Wulf
Outer Space Arms Control: Existing Regime And Future Prospects, Norman A. Wulf
Space Law Documents
The existing arms control regime for outer space bans attacks on satellites of other countries, except as acts of self-defense. The moon and other celestial bodies cannot be used for military activities. Detonating nuclear explosives in outer space is prohibited. Deployment in space of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction is prohibited. Development, testing, or deployment of space-based anti-ballistic systems or their components by the United States or the Soviet Union is prohibited.
Proposals that outer space be demilitarized or that anti-satellite weapons be banned create complex problems. Since all space activities have potential military uses, great care …
