NASA Technology Utilization Program: A concept paper on options

The NASA Technology Transfer Program has taken on a variety of roles during the past twenty years. This paper briefly reviews these roles. It presents then several organized approaches that could be adopted to maximize the cost/benefit of technology transfer from NASA to the private sector.

中止犯若干问题比较研究

由于各种原因,各国中止犯在立法方式、法律性质、成立要件及刑事责任方面差异甚大。我国有必要参照国外中止犯的相关立法与理论,采取中止犯与未遂犯混合规定方式并将预备中止犯非犯罪化,增设准中止犯,在采取必减免制的同时增加中止犯与既遂犯的转化性规定。     

Schwimmende Politeia? Demokratische Mikroinseln im Südpazifik und in der Karibik

Microislands are not a hot spot of comparative government studies. Without good reasons. Surely, from a political perspective Microislands are not of great importance. But such an argument should not prevent researchers from taking a closer look at Microislands. Because they are perfectly designed to broaden our knowledge of the circumstances under which democracies occur and survive. In this paper three assumptions, taken from the rare literature on Microislands, are tested: territorial space, homogeneity and insularity. It can be shown that the geographical as well as the geopolitical position of Caribbean and south pacific microislands posses a high explanatory power for the question why those states are stable democracies.     

Elections and Representation in Local Government: A Victorian Case Study

This article examines the application of different views of representation in the electoral systems at local government level: interest, corporate and mirror representation. The electoral framework underpins the process of representation, influencing both who are eligible to become voters and how their votes are collected and counted. The paper examines the interrelationship between representation and the electoral framework in local government in Victoria. We use a historical analysis, and identify a long period of interest representation; a short, relatively recent period of corporate representation; and an attempt to introduce some elements of mirror representation. We conclude by arguing that local electoral reform needs to take into account the multiple meanings of representation.     

脑络欣通对脑缺血再灌注模型鼠神经细胞凋亡及P53蛋白表达的影响

目的: 研究脑络欣通对脑缺血再灌注模型鼠神经细胞凋亡及P53蛋白表达的影响.方法:采用饥饿、劳累、高脂饮食等多因素复制大鼠气虚血瘀证模型,然后用线栓法阻断大鼠左侧大脑中动脉2 h,复制局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型,于再灌注1,3 d,用TUNEL法和免疫组化法分别检测脑缺血半暗带凋亡细胞和P53蛋白表达.结果:与模型组比较,脑络欣通组脑缺血半暗带的凋亡细胞和P53蛋白表达显著减少(P＜0.05).结论:抑制P53蛋白的表达是脑络欣通抗脑缺血再灌注后神经细胞凋亡的机制之一.     

论经侦基础工作的概念与分类

经济犯罪侦查基础工作,是经济犯罪侦查工作的一个重要组成部分。准确地界定其概念与分类,有利于合理配置公安机关的资源。考察经济犯罪侦查基础工作,应当从基础的层次、公安机关的性质和任务、工作的对象、目的以及经侦基础工作的表现形式等方面来全面分析。按照经侦基础工作的对象、实施的方式、实施的主体可以做出不同的分类。     

语境的释义功能与翻译中词义的确定

语境是语用学的重要理论之一 ,它是理解语言必不可少的因素 ,语境对语言具有释义功能 ,翻译过程中确定词义依赖于语境的释义功能 ,在翻译中确定词义应考虑文本语境中的语言知识、背景知识、情景知识或相互知识等因素     

习惯规则司法适用的困境及出路

习惯规则作为民间社会行为规范,将其引入司法活动中予以适用,可以弥补法律规则的缺陷。但习惯规则的司法适用面临理论与立法上等外在困境及其自身的内在困境。鉴于此困境,可在充分借鉴国外和历史经验的基础上,从习惯规则司法适用的内在条件与外在条件入手寻找出路。     

政府架构与运行机制研究:经验与启示

自上世纪80年代以来,西方主要国家进行了一系列卓有成效的政府改革与创新。基于对英国、美国、日本、澳大利亚、新西兰等西方主要国家中央政府机构架构及运行机制的前期研究,本文就政府运行机制及其管理变革的规律性特点及趋势、政府机构设置及管理的趋势、促使政府高效运作的基本保障机制与措施等三个方面进行了分析和总结。
