Abstract:

Principle of self-determination of peoples is one of the issues of international law, which is complicated. International commentators agree that the content of the principle is unclear. The same should be said about the borders of implementation of the principle. There are a number of legal acts on the question, however the two problems remain. This master thesis was aimed to analyze and to reveal the purport of the principle of self-determination of peoples and the borders of implementation.<br>Laisvas tautų apsisprendimo principas tarptautinėje teisėje yra priskiriamas sudėtingesniems klaus

Abstract:

W. Edwards Deming/s management philosophy of continuous improvement, TQM, has gained attention in the public and private sectors as a means of resolving the "crisis" in modern American organizations. TQM's effectiveness is dependent on its principled implementation. As an imbalanced perspective, the hyper-rational masculine conventional management wisdom has thwarted real organizational innovations by limiting methods, techniques, and actions to its frame of assumptions. A radically different set of assumptions or world view, the feminine perspective, is needed to provide balance and to create

Abstract:

Is there more than one "Curie's principle"? How far are different formulations legitimate? What are the aspects that make it so scientifically fruitful? This article is devoted to exploring these questions. We begin by discussing Curie's original 1894 article. Then, we consider the way that the discussion of the principle took shape from early commentators to its modern form. We say why we think that the modern focus on the interstate version of the principle loses sight of some of the most significant applications of the principle. Finally, we address criticisms of the principle put forward b

This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the principle of diplomatic inviolability. The principle of diplomatic inviolability is generally regarded by international law scholars as one of the oldest established principles of international law. The concept of inviolability in contemporary international law contains two distinct aspects: in terms of the duty of the receiving State, the first aspect involves the negative duty of not taking any enforcement action against the inviolable diplomatic premises, diplomatic agents or the diplomatic property, while the second aspect require

Newton believed that time and space are absolute, and he based his principles upon this belief.After him many scientists presented sometimes complementary or different theories.Mach was one of the famous scientists who had another ideas different from Newton, that later used and considered by Einstein as the completion of general relativity and named it Mach's principle.

Abstract:

The h-principle is a general homotopic way to solve partial differential equations and, more generally, partial differential relations. The theory was started by Y. Eliashberg, M. Gromov and A. V. Philips and it allows one to reduce a differential topological problem to an algebraic topological problem. A way to prove the h-principle is by Convex Integration Theory. Developed originally by Gromov, it is applied to solve relations in jet spaces, including certain classes of undetermined non-linear systems of partial differential equations. The h-principle occurs for instance in immersion prob

This thesis consists of four papers treating the maximum principle for stochastic control problems.

Moreover, the cost functional of the control problem may also depend on the law of the process. Necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are derived in the form of a maximum principle, which is also applied to solve the mean-variance portfolio problem.

<p> When constructing a statistical model, nonlinearity detection has always been an interesting topic and a difficult problem. To balance precision of parametric modeling and robustness of nonparametric modeling, the semi-parametric modeling method has shown very good performance. The specific example, spline fitting, can very well estimate nonlinear patterns. However, as the number of spline bases goes up, the method can generate a large amount of parameters to estimate, especially for multiple dimensional case. It's been discussed in the literature to treat additional slopes of spline bases

Abstract:

This work seeks to analyze human walking at the trajectory planning level from an optimal control perspective. Our approach emphasizes the close relationship between the geometric shape of human locomotion in goal-directed movements and the simplified kinematic model of a wheeled mobile robot. This kind of system has been extensively studied in robotics community. From a kinematic perspective, the characteristic of this wheeled robot is the nonholonomic constraint of the wheels on the floor, which forces the vehicle to move tangentially to its main axis. In the case of human walking, the obser

Abstract:

This thesis investigates three fundamental aspects of the gauge principle and gauge invariance: their conceptual content, their objective content, and their metaphysical significance. The strategy of this work is to present first the foundational problems of gauge theories in the framework of electromagnetism and the Standard Model. In particular, it presents a discussion of the conceptual importance of the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Higgs mechanism. These physical developments are then analysed from the point of view of Ontic Structural Realism and an alternative view denominated Transcende
