Demirdizen, Hasan Gence. "Market Development Of Renewable Energy In Turkey." Master's thesis, METU, 2013. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12615440/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Renewable energy is a current issue in the world as well as in Turkey. Turkey has developing policies in the renewable energy field. Although it is a beneficial mean of obtaining energy, there are barriers on renewable energy production. In order to develop renewable energies, those barriers have to be analyzed and suitable implementations should be developed to overcome them. In this thesis policy and implementation on the renewables are evaluated in general and specially for Turkey. The electricity market is one of the crucial factors of development of the renewable energy. The day-ahead market and renewable energy support mechanism in Turkey are investigated. Finally benefit calculations is carried out in order to compare benefits of renewable energy in market and support mechanisms by using real time price and production values of two renewable energy plantsa hydropower and a wind power plants. Further, outcomes of newly developed prediction project for wind power plants are evaluated in terms of market benefit.

Correia, Rose Mary. "Legal aspects of multimodal telecommunications." Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23309.
Full textAbstract:
The telecommunications industry is being shaped by technological and market developments, and is moving into the 21st Century. The telecommunications technology of the future is integrated services digital networks. ISDN, which is the concept for a future digital telecommunications network for delivery of a wide range of innovative voice, data and video services through satellite systems and the national information highways being developed in several countries, will lead to a Global Information Infrastructure. ISDN development will pose challenges to traditional telecommunications regulation, lead to increased multimodal competition between ground and space-based transmission systems, and erode INTELSAT's market base since future digital ISDN systems will be interchangeable with satellite systems.This study begins in Chapter I with an examination of the emerging technologies and recent market trends which challenge traditional regulation, as well as the importance of upholding regulation in the emerging ISDN telecommunications environment. Chapter II discusses the recent market developments in Canada, the legal implications of emerging technologies for the current regulatory regime, and the need for comprehensive policy and regulation. Chapter III discusses the role of satellites in the emerging global ISDN environment, the mandate of INTELSAT in terms of spectrum/orbit resource management, the regulation of multimodal telecommunications under the INTELSAT Agreement, the challenges to INTELSAT represented by ISDN development, the role of the ITU in the regulation of the emerging global ISDN environment, and the future of INTELSAT in light of competition, technological progress, and regulatory trends. This is followed by a conclusion in Chapter IV.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation broadly explores the problems of aircraft noise in the vicinity of major airports.Part 1 defines the technical terms of noise and sonic boom and discusses their harmful effects on airport neighbours and their environment.
Part 2 reviews international legal regulations, commencing with the conference convened by the British Government in 1966, and ending with the ICAO Council proposals to be addressed at the 28th (Extraordinary) Session of the Assembly, in October 1990. Further, ICAO efforts in balancing the conflicting interests between developed and developing countries is highlighted, and the legal status of Annex 16 on Environmental Protection is discussed in some detail.
Part 3 examines national legislation relating to aircraft noise with an emphasis on the approach of the United States.
Part 4 canvasses liability issues through an analysis of the jurisprudence in various countries with a concentration on litigation in the United States. Of particular relevance is the applicability of the 1952 Rome Convention with respect to damages caused by noise and sonic boom.
Part 5 examines and evaluates proposed and already implemented solutions to the airport noise problem.

Baldock, Geoffrey Clive. "Some legal aspects of an." University of Western Australia. Law School, 2003. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2005.0119.
Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] “Open Skies” is the term given to a relatively recent (1992) policy initiative of the United States in its pursuit of the deregulation of international air transportation. It represents the latest in a long line of similar initiatives which the U.S. has been pursuing almost since the inception of the aviation industry. Essentially “Open Skies” is little more than a specific type of bilateral aviation agreement between two nations (and often between more than two nations) which typically provides for open entry on routes, unrestricted capacity and frequency on routes, and unrestricted air traffic rights. The significance of Open Skies agreements is that they appear to encapsulate general world-wide trends towards open economies characterised by a minimum of government interference and a maximum reliance on market forces to allocate scarce resources ... Australia however is not one of the nations seeking to become a party to such an agreement with the U.S. despite attempts by that nation to persuade Australia to do so and the question is: Can or should Australia resist attempts by the United States to bring it within the expanding umbrella of Open Skies, or are there other practical alternatives open to Australia? After examining the history of the development of Open Skies agreements and their international legal foundation, this thesis argues that there are strong considerations of policy and economics why Australia should embrace Open Skies initially at least on a regional basis centred in the Asia Pacific region, rather than with the United States. Implicit in that proposal is the fact that in terms of its constitutional and legal system, Australia has the legal capacity to enter into Open Skies agreements. The parties to such a regional Open Skies agreement might at a later date choose to enter into a multilateral Open Skies agreement with the United States, if economic and political conditions are suitable for them to do so. On the assumption that a form of Open Skies policy will eventually be adopted by Australia this thesis examines the constitutional and domestic legal regulatory framework for aviation within Australia, and the changes if any which would be required to it, if Australia was to embrace such a policy.

Full textAbstract:
This study has a number of aims. It is intended to explore the historical development of the law relating to collective agreements. At the same time this will be set against the general development of British Labour Law. The current law of collective agreements will be critically evaluated. The study then moves on to take a brief look at the position in the US and Canada. Finally, the issue of future developments is raised and the implications reforms would have for adjudication are discussed. The industrial relations background is also raised and the question of whether legal enforcement between the collective parties is now a realistic option analysed.

Leloudas, Georgios. "Legal aspects of aviation risk management." Thesis, McGill University, 2003. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=80937.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis in the first part examines the notion of risk and describes the process of risk management with emphasis on the identification of emerging threats to civil aviation and on the adoption of new risk handling techniques.In the second part, the role of law into the airlines' management regime is examined especially in the light of two prima facie conflicting trends: liberalization of market access and increased State involvement in war risk, safety and security issues. Furthermore, the contractual and tortious/delictual exposures of airlines are being scrutinized and the ways to handle them are being analyzed.
The main objectives are (i) to demonstrate that risk management is not restricted to insurance, but involves a number of techniques and procedures that have the potential not only to minimize risk but also to turn risk into opportunity and value and (ii) to identify the role of law as a management tool in the oncoming liberalized aviation environment.

Full textAbstract:
The commercial space transportation industry is growing with the technology that creates more capable spacecrafts to access space. However, there are still some academic discussions related to the delimitation of the outer space and the definition of space objects that could interfere with the regulation of this growing space activity. Because these discussions are not predicted to be solved soon, the developing space policies must attempt to clarify these issues between the parts avoiding the retard in the development of the industry. Moreover, these policies have to promote public-private partnerships and the emersion of private entrepreneurs for a faster development of a safe, reliable, and affordable commercial space transportation.

Korčeková, Andrea. "Product placement and its legal aspects." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2009. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-17010.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with analysis of legal aspects of product placement. First, it looks at product placement from a general point of view. The work explains past legal framework where product placement was a part of "unfair competition" both in EU and Czech Republic. Then, it analyzes particular articles of directive 2007/65/EC which regulates the term product placement as the first in the history. The analyses showed that there are a lot of vague and disputable terms, e. g. "significant value", provision "free of charge", or ensuring that viewers are "clearly informed" about existence of product placement. Further, the work analyzes an implementation of the directive to the czech law and its comparison with Slovakia. Product placement was translated into czech law as "umístění produktu". The implementation is reflected in the "on-demand audiovisual media services Act" but also in the amendment of Act Nr. 231/2001 Sb. By contrast, Slovakia did not create a new special Act for non-linear audiovisual media services, just amended Act Nr. 308/2000 Z.z. and some other affecting laws. Finally, the work confronts the legal theory with praxis. This is done by a survey. The most important result of the survey showed that almost a half of the respondents think that product placement is not a commercial practice. This fact highlights the importance of ensuring that viewers are "clearly informed" about the existence of product placement and also the provision of consumer protection.

Full textAbstract:
Recent years have witnessed a growing concern among foreign investors about the laws and policies concerning foreign investment in Quebec and Canada. This thesis focuses on the laws that affect non Canadians doing business in Canada and Quebec.The introduction deals with the history of the policies concerning foreign ownership in Quebec and Canada. Section two analyzes the juridical personality of foreigners. Thereafter, this thesis will study the different implications for aliens acquiring moveables or immoveables in Quebec. This writer will analyze the legislative provisions and policies concerning foreign investment that are enacted by the federal government and the provincial government. A survey of the extraterritoriality of Antitrust laws and the international approach of settling the problems of confiscation, expropriation and nationalization follows. This thesis will briefly examine the Provincial legislation in immigration. Finally, the conclusion attempts to offer an alternative to the solutions arrived at by the federal and the provincial government of Quebec. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Rosales, Rex Kenneth. "Legal aspects of asset based aircraft financing." Thesis, McGill University, 1990. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=59970.
Full textAbstract:
For airlines, one of the most significant challenges in the 1990's will be to finance the enormous fleet replacement and expansion activities they have undertaken. Because airline earnings tend to by cyclical and industry returns on capital investment have traditionally been poor, lenders have come to rely increasingly on asset based methods to finance aircraft acquisitions.On account of the prevalence of asset based financing, the underlying legal structures must be able to reassure the lender, to a reasonable extent, that its interests in the aircraft will be protected and recognized.
In Canada, the legal structures for taking security on aircraft are complex, as such interests are governed by the diverse provincial laws regarding security on moveable property generally. Moreover, rights in aircraft are not registered in one central location, but must be filed in accordance with the legislation of each province where the aircraft is likely to be used.
The establishment of a central registry for security interests in aircraft would assuredly contribute to the future development of Canadian civil aviation. It would do away with multiple provincial registration of rights in aircraft and thereby add a considerable measure of certainty in the field of asset based aircraft financing.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last years, the number of commercial space activities has increased tremendously. Technological developments have been the main reason in the emerging of new services that use space infrastructure. In order to provide these new space services, it is necessary to launch and operate spacecraft.Complying with the laws and regulations of the launching and operating activities is one of the most relevant issues that prospective spacecraft operators may face in this complex industry.
This work compiles the legal sources to effectively launch and operate spacecraft destined for commercial space applications. Its goal is to identify common constraints that operators may find in the process of licensing and acquiring orbits or radio frequencies and the national/international legal principles, which govern spacecraft operations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis broadly seeks to present some relevant legal aspects concerning Flight Information Regions (FIRs) and to analyze State responsibility vis-a-vis FIRs, as well as liability incurred by States on account of acts and omissions while discharging their responsibilities.The first part of this thesis is a presentation of the international rules and regulations applicable to FIRs, their legal implications and the extent to which they create obligations for States.
Some relevant problems (accidents, airspace congestion, unlawful interference) likely to present an additional challenge for the discharge of responsibilities with regard to FIRs are also considered.
Settlement of differences between States deserves special attention and is discussed in the light of the judicial machinery provided under the Chicago Convention 1944.
Finally, the liability of States is analyzed and the need for a strict liability regime and a policy of risk management is considered.

Full textAbstract:
Access to adequate financing for the development of Canada's aerospace industry, which is a significant contributor to the country's gross national product, is controlled by the financial community generally. In order for one to successfully transact with the community, their fears and expectations must be clearly understood and respected. This study begins in Chapter I with an examination of the types of financing available, and Chapter II discusses how these financings may be funded. Chapter III contains a detailed consideration of the types of security required to secure such obligations, while Chapter IV sets out the types of insurance required. Any financial transaction must take into consideration the impact of taxation, and Chapter V contains a study of the various types of taxes normally encountered in aerospace financing. Chapter VI discusses some of the usual provisions normally found in aerospace finance documentation and Chapter VII sets out some of the special requirements to be met. This is followed by a final analysis, conclusions and recommendations in Chapter VIII. An extensive, but selective bibliography completes the study.

Over the last years the demand for satellite communication services has been increased. Global and domestic regulatory developments and support, as well as the emerge of new services, have facilitated launcMng capabilities and reduced the costs of manufacturing, launching and operating the satellites. Financing the telecommunication satellite systems is one of the most relevant issues that prospective satellite operators face on these days. Mstitutional lenders require adequate legal advise in order to properly instrument multimillion transactions where securitization is not enough clear and risks are extremely Mgh. TMs work analyzes the most important sources of financing of telecommunication satellites and the most adequate legal structures and methods based in legislation, legal cases, jurisprudence, doctrine, and legal practice.

Full textAbstract:
Thanks to the use of satellite technology, mobile personal telecommunications systems are able to provide communications simultaneously anywhere on the Earth's surface. The implementation of such systems raises several regulatory issues: after a brief explanation of the technical characteristics of different satellite systems in the first chapter, the second chapter will introduce the principles of space law relevant to satellite communications, with particular attention to the provisions which the development of global satellite telecommunication system could infringe. In the third chapter, there will be place for further analysis of international regulations established in the framework of the International Telecommunication Union and the World Trade Organisation, dealing more specifically with satellite telecommunications. The discipline established by the former organisation aims to the optimal management of the orbit and spectrum resources, particularly controversial because of the divergence of interests and exigencies of the member countries, whereas the latter intervened in the liberalisation of the telecommunication services, with the purpose to create an open environment for their diffusion. Furthermore, telecommunication activities are subjected to national regulation. The domestic discipline pertaining to global mobile satellite telecommunication services will be analysed in the fourth chapter, with particular attention to the U.S. Federal Communication Commission regulations and to the developments of Italian legislation in the light of the recent European initiatives in the field. National authorisation requirement conditions, in spite of the international effort toward regulatory harmonisation and liberalisation, are the key elements in the deployment of global mobile telecommunications services. National authorities should not continue to function solely on the basis of their national considerations, but be more flexible and open to cooperation, a

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to focus on the question of the Area and its International Sea-Bed Authority at this present stage. The new legal regime governing the Area has been formulated in Part XI of the Convention by almost all countries of the world as the common heritage of mankind. Nevertheless, a number of retrograde developments have occurred. These developments include the enactment of domestic laws for exploitation in the Area by some dissenting industrialized countries at a time when consensus on the internationally negotiated legal regime was almost at hand and the fall in demand for the metals contained in manganese nodules for the deep sea-bed. State practice in the form of actual recovery of mineral resources has not yet taken place, and the law is worked out in anticipation of such a practice. In this study there are eight chapters. Chapter One is an introductory treatment of the whole thesis. The purpose of the study, and the development of the new legal regime in Part XI of the 1982 Convention, are included in this chapter. The second chapter examines the question of the limits of national jurisdiction with particular regard to the sea-bed. Chapter Three outlines the arguments for and against the classic doctrines such as res communis and res nullius, and rejects them as legally valid bases for claims to the deep sea-bed. The concept of the common heritage of mankind on which Part XI of the Convention is based, is dealt with in Chapter Four. Chapter Five explains the Parallel System as it is laid down in the Convention. Chapter Six deals with the legal aspects of the International Sea-Bed Authority and the organs which directly or indirectly are related to it. Chapter Seven reviews the developments in the Preparatory Commission for the International Sea-Bed Authority since the beginning of its work in 1983. The last chapter presents the general conclusions of the study. The Authority with its present structure and functions is an entity under the effective control of its members. Its strength depends on the modifications which may be introduced by the Preparatory Commission, especially with regard to the decision-making mechanism.

Ng'andu, Frederick Mwansa. "Legal aspects of the marketing of Zambian copper." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1985. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28698/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the legal problems affecting the marketing of Zambian copper. In this respect, the thesis seeks to discover the real causes of copper price instability and the effectiveness of international legal principles and institutional measures employed in an attempt to reduce such instabilities, A study of this nature, demands a careful scrutiny of the various legal and institutional mechanisms governing the marketing of copper and international measures designed to regulate such arrangements. To this effect, chapter one of the thesis provides an introduction which seeks to set out in general terms, the nature of the problems faced in the marketing of copper. These problems are then examined in relation to their effect on the Zambian economy in general. Chapter two, examines the background and development of the Zambian mining industry with a view to highlighting the genesis of the copper marketing system employed by Zambia. Discussed in this chapter are issues relating to mineral rights, mineral taxation, and measures aimed at the control of the production process. In chapter three an attempt is made to examine the rules and institutional organization of the most important copper marketing and price setting institution - the London Metal Exchange. Chapter four, examines one of the intergovernmental machinery employed to tackle the problems of commodity price instability and the possible application of its principles to copper. Chapter five, evaluates the United Nations Common Fund which is designed to support the international commodity agreement mechanism. Of prime concern in the analysis is to discover how far its principles may go in supporting a possible international copper agreement. Chapter six is devoted to a discussion of one of the existing intergovernmental mechanism for the stabilization of copper prices. The discussion centres on the role and effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Council for Copper Exporting Countries (CIPEC). The second existing intergovernmental approach to price stabilization is discussed in chapters seven and eight. This approach involves some form of international financial support machinery which may allow developing countries that produce copper to maintain their export earnings even when demand or prices decline. There are two such schemes operating at the moment and chapter seven is devoted to one scheme which is operated by the International Monetary Fund. Chapter eight examines the second scheme operating under a treaty of co-operation between the EEC countries on the one hand and ACP countries on the other. Chapter nine suggests an alternative approach to the problem of stabilization of copper prices. This approach involves the creation of a Southern African mineral marketing corporation that could act as a sole mineral marketing agency for countries in the sub region associated under Southern African Development Co-ordinating Conference (SADCC). The final chapter provides a summary of conclusions.

Road freight transportation is subject to several legal requirements having direct impact on the practical applicability of routes and schedules. The vast majority of vehicle routing literature, so far, has largely focused on physical constraints such as capacity limits, or customer requirements such as time windows for pickups and deliveries. This paper studies legal requirements for long-distance haulage in the European Union, identifies some major gaps in the current state-of-the-art in vehicle routing, presents approaches for overcoming this gap, and analyzes the impact of the legal requirements studied.

La présente étude intitulée «Terminologie juridique moderne de la langue anglaise: aspects linguistiques et cognitifs » aborde le langage juridique contemporain dans le cadre de la linguistique cognitive. Les objectifs de l'étude sont d'étudier les particularités de la terminologie juridique et de proposer des principes de systématisation, en se référant à la théorie cognitive de la métaphore. Il s’agit principalement : 1) de déterminer les concepts de base utilisés métaphoriquement dans la langue juridique ; 2) d'établir les correspondances principales entre domaines et les corrélations entre des éléments particuliers dans des domaines spécifiques. Pour répondre à cette question, un corpus d’anglais juridique a été constitué et soumis à une étude quantitative. Les expressions métaphoriques liées à la terminologie juridique ont été retirés et classés selon leur sens métaphorique. Il est ainsi apparu que les métaphores conceptuelles de la GUERRE, de la MEDECINE, du SPORT et de la CONSTRUCTION étaient les plus nombreuses et prégnantes en anglais juridique. Les projections et correspondances entre ces domaines sources et le domaine cible de la LOI ont été établies.Cette étude empirique repose sur 156 textes juridiques qui ont été rassemblés au sein d’un même corpus (COLE – Corpus of Legal English). Les sources renvoient à différentes catégories thématiques. Le corpus a été utilisé pour établir la réalité de certains phénomènes et interpréter les résultats quantitatifs dans le cadre de la théorie de la métaphore conceptuelleThe present doctoral dissertation entitled “Modern English Legal Terminology: linguistic and cognitive aspects” investigates the contemporary legal idiom, from a cognitive linguistics perspective. The aim of this study is to map out the peculiarities of English legal terminology and develop principles of systematization, within the framework of conceptual metaphor theory. This means 1) determining the basic concepts used metaphorically in English legal language, and 2) establishing the main cross-domain mappings and correlations between separate items within concrete domains.The Corpus of Legal English (COLE) was set up and a quantitative analysis performed, in which metaphorical expressions related to legal terminology were searched for and classified on the basis of meanings, conceptual domains and mappings. Thus, the conceptual metaphors of WAR, MEDICINE, SPORT and CONSTRUCTION were found to be the most numerous and valuable in Legal English. The main cross-domain mappings between these source domains and the target domain of LAW were established.In order to carry out this data-driven study, 156 legal texts were selected and compiled into the Corpus of Legal English (COLE). The source-texts represent various thematic categories. The COLE was systematically used to interpret frequency counts from the point of view of conceptual metaphor theory

Full textAbstract:
The significance of this thesis lies in the fact that it reviews the activities of a newly-born organisation, that has hardly received an authoritative legal analysis. In addition the thesis relies heavily on primary sources in examining the internal structure of the organisation. Looking at the nature of the issues involved, the principal contribution is made by applying the principles of international law to three different areas of law. These are, the law of international institutions, economic integration, inspired and influenced by the literature on the EEC, and the law of the use of force. Chapters 1-6, which deal with the institutional aspect, examine the treaty-making power within the constitutions of the six member states and how treaties enter into force according to these constitutional arrangements. This occurs despite the fact that sometimes signature is sufficient, according to the agreement concerned, to bring it into force. They further deal with the aims of establishing the organisation. Like other traditional organisations, the objectives stipulated in the instruments do not match the political realities in the state practice of the member states. The gap is widened by the realisation of the weak power entrusted to the G.C.C. organs. That the mechanism of decision-making, which requires unanimity in itself, is not binding per se, emphasises this view. They also deal with the question of membership and the political and legal implications of excluding some states in the region from the organisation. Chapter Seven mainly deals with the implementation of the Unified Economic Agreement (UEA). It examines the concept of economic integration which is generally contemplated in the agreement, but loosely adjusted to meet the political and economic realities in the member states, rather than to meet the standards of functional integration which concede a higher degree of sovereignty. A hypothetical problem is raised in the case of a conflict between the UEA and earlier treaties concluded in substantially similar terms under the Arab League auspices. Yet the invocation of de jure or de facto termination is possible by those parties to the later treaty (i.e. the UEA). The implementation of the UEA provisions may also give rise to some difficulties for those GCC member states which are bound by the GATT (i.e. Kuwait), a matter which receives some consideration in this thesis. This chapter also deals in great length with the problem of supervision within the G.C.C., which poses a real challenge for effective implementation of the UEA. Chapter Eight deals with security in the G.C.C. member states. It examines delicately the dividing line between illegal intervention and mere political propaganda. In this regard the acts of intervention and indirect aggression by Iran, which largely caused the involvement of the G.C.C. member states in the Gulf war are highlighted. Thus, a relationship between supporting Iraq financially, which is a forbidden act under the strict rules of neutrality, and the exercise of collective self-defence in the form of such funding has been argued and examined in the light of the Nicaragua Case (1986). Also of great concern is the legal position of G.C.C. member states who are not required to remain strictly neutral when they are subjected to indirect aggression. This in fact raises the issue of collective self-defence under both the Arab League and the GCC arrangements.

Lee, Hayden. "High-energy aspects of inflationary cosmology." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/273359.
Full textAbstract:
Since the discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), our understanding of the cosmos has been rapidly evolving. Detailed measurements of the CMB temperature fluctuations have led to a standard cosmological model, which traces the origin of the large-scale structure of the universe to quantum fluctuations during inflation. Although the basic framework of inflationary cosmology is now well-established, the microphysical mechanism responsible for the accelerated expansion remains a mystery. In this thesis, we describe how the physics underlying inflation can be probed using two cosmological observables: higher-order correlations of primordial density perturbations (non-Gaussianity) and primordial gravitational waves (tensor modes). In the first part of the thesis, we explore novel signatures of high-energy physics in higher- order correlation functions of inflationary perturbations. First, we use causality and unitarity to make connections between cosmological observations and the underlying short-distance dynamics of single-field inflation. We obtain a constraint on the size and the sign of the four-point function in terms of the amplitude of the three-point function. We then study the imprints of extra massive particles of arbitrary spin on the three-point function. We classify the couplings of these particles to inflationary scalar and tensor perturbations and derive explicit shape functions for their three- point functions that can serve as templates for future observational searches. Establishing the particle content during inflation would provide important hints for the microscopic theory of inflation. In the second part, we study ways of testing the nature of inflation using inflationary tensor modes. We consider effects of gravitational corrections to Einstein gravity in models of high-scale inflation. We show that these scenarios can lead to a violation of the tensor consistency condition (i.e. the relation between the amplitude and the scale-dependence of the tensor two-point function) that is satisfied by canonical single-field inflationary models. Finally, we consider the prospects for measuring the inflationary superhorizon signature in future observations. We define an estimator that captures superhorizon correlations and present forecasts for the detectability of the signal with future CMB polarization experiments.

Full textAbstract:
With increasing awareness of gains and importance of the strategic use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the implementation rate of ICTs in construction sector is increasing. However, these technologies have not been covered by legal and contractual practices. The industry needs to implement application frameworks and legal re-structuring of the existing related laws and regulations to use ICT in a legal and contractually valid environment.
In this thesis, an EU funded project, eLEGALwhich defines a framework for legal conditions and contracts regarding the use of ICT in construction industry, is selected as a model project to address legal and contractual issues regarding ICT use in Turkish construction industry. Moreover, the applicability of this project&rsquo
s results are discussed by using real cases and defining the barriers, opportunities, methods and tools to use ICT legally admissible in Turkish construction industry.

Full textAbstract:
As you probably know, to board the B777-300ERi in Geneva for Anchorage via London, is not just that simple. With your ticket you bought several days before, you come to the airport, check in, pay airport's fees, go through the customs and security checks, walk in the terminal following signs, maybe you stop in the duty free shops, and finally find your gate. By this time, you are ready to board, about one hour after you enter the airport.We will be essentially interested in air law that is why, the purpose of this master's thesis is to consider the legal aspect of facilitation in civil aviation. The term facilitation refers to the process that passengers, crew, luggage, cargo and mail have to go through when they cross borders to fly from a point A to a point B.
Recently, an aspect of facilitation took an outstanding importance: health issues. At the end of last year, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak was a real threat to international civil aviation because passengers (and crews) could have been exposed to an infected person inside the terminal or on board the plane, also, aircrafts were considered a fast vector of this disease through the world. The economic consequences for airlines and airports were very painful.

Hörl, Kay-Uwe. "Legal aspects of risks involved in commercial space activities." Thesis, McGill University, 2003. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=19485.
Full textAbstract:
Deregulation, globalization, and commercialization are drastically changing the space industry. But commercial space activities entail considerable risks. This thesis is primarily an analysis of the risks that private entities in the space industry need to manage in order to be commercially successful. Due to the trend towards a buyer's market, satellite manufacturers increasingly have been forced to accept risks that do not fall within their traditional core business. Consequently, manufacturing companies become risk managers for a variety of legal space risks. Therefore, the legal framework for the commercial management of legal risks is analyzed and solutions to identified problems are offered. This thesis studies trends in contemporary risk management practices in the private sector, which is dominated by market forces. It is argued that risk management of legal issues should form an integral part of overall space project management, the rationale being that losses in any phase of space activities, while certain to occur, are uncertain in time and scale. This thesis, therefore, scrutinizes legal risk management throughout the life cycle of space projects. Few space applications have become commercially viable. Today, satellite navigation provided by the U.S. GPS is widely used, especially because it is free of direct charges. In Europe, a competing system, Galileo, is being developed. It will provide users with different service levels, ranging from free services to more reliable and accurate navigation services. As this system has both, public and commercial benefits, the industry is expected to participate in a Public Private Partnership for the Galileo satellite constellation. This thesis makes specific proposals to manage the legal risks of the Galileo project. At the same time, the allocation of legal space risks between the various parties is studied. The thesis of the author is that the management process, which is used to control technical space risks, can provide satellite manufacturers with a supportive analogy for dealing with legal space risks. Risks will be studied for all project phases of Galileo, i.e., the feasibility study, the establishment of specifications, development, manufacturing, the launch, operations, replenishment, and the final disposition of satellites.

Full textAbstract:
As the advantages of space based systems to support global communications, data transfer, navigation and military activities have been identified and exploited through the decades, the economic and security well being of many nations has become increasingly dependent upon space. In a world of evolving threats, dependence has highlighted the vulnerability of space assets. This thesis considers the current legal framework governing outer space and whether or not the framework supports space weaponization and the use of force in space. Chapter One provides an overview of the journey into space and how the military has taken advantage of space. In Chapter Two, the international legal regime governing outer space is analyzed, and the principle of "peaceful purposes" examined. Chapter Three considers the legal authority to resort to the use of force under international law, how that law applies in the outer space environment and briefly addresses arms control restrictions in outer space. Chapter Four focuses on the future, considering the question of whether or not space weaponization and the use of force in space are inevitable developments in the evolution of uses of space or, if there are viable alternatives that will address valid security concerns while preserving space as a weapons free environment.

Full textAbstract:
Aviation and the internet are two conveniences without which the modern world would almost grind to a halt given our current dependence levels (on them). If both were to suddenly vanish, mankind would be thrown back to the late 19th century reminiscent of a world which was once a smaller place.Aviation plays a critical role in our daily life transporting man and material over vast distances in a relatively short period of time. A vital cog in this wheel is the airport that 'facilitates' the safe loading, unloading, take-off and landing of aircraft.
For some time now, aircraft have been the target of various terrorist groups and militant factions seeking to make a point to the world in the most dramatic fashion possible. To maintain the security of civil aviation, laws have been promulgated (both nationally and internationally) to ensure that the perpetrators (of the crime) when caught, will be adequately punished and in a manner that will deter others from committing crimes against civil aviation. However this law-making process (in large part initiated by the International Civil Aviation Organization) has not sufficiently addressed airports and the security therein.
This paper seeks to examine---and in some cases suggest improvements to---aviation security laws at large, with a specific emphasis on airports. It is believed that a more comprehensive set of laws governing aviation security would result in greater efficacy of airport security procedures thus reducing the need for prospective judicial intervention and concomitant lengthy court proceedings.

Full textAbstract:
The main issue affecting the access to the geostationary orbit is how to reconcile freedom of access, inherent in any res communes regime, with equitable sharing of accessed benefits in the geostationary orbit, where the high potential for mutual interference among two or more satellites requires extensive coordination and often entails compromise of optimal configuration for telecommunication satellite systems.The Outer Space Treaty has established the basic principles of international law applicable to outer space: the common interest principle; the non-appropriation principle; the freedom principle.
The ITU has adopted two regulatory regimes that govern the access and use of the geostationary orbit: the first-come, first-served regime (general rule); and the a priori plans (exception).
The legislation of the US, a country with the largest number of satellites in the geostationary orbit, is discussed. At the domestic level, the US has adopted the open entry policy, which it will be able to maintain to the extent that the international approach to orbit/spectrum management provides for continued availability of requested satellite assignments. At the international level, the US is committed to the global communications satellite system (INTELSAT). However, deregulatory trends in the satellite market and the rulings of the FCC developed the transborder policy and the separate systems policy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the key issues surrounding the transmission of digital assets on death. To answer this primary research questions, the author first looks at the legal nature of digital assets, which are defined as any asset of personal or economic value online (capable of post-mortem transmission). She then analyses in depth the three most typical and widely used types of assets: virtual worlds, emails and social networks. In trying to reach decisions on the legal nature of digital assets, the thesis first looks for help to the institution of property. If an asset can be considered the property of the deceased user, then in most countries it forms part of an estate and transmits on death. The same goes for intellectual property (primarily copyright herein). If an asset cannot and should not be considered property, or protected by copyright, then arguably it cannot transmit on death. The thesis finds that email contents, virtual world items and social network contents are not and should not be considered as property. Some of this content can, however, be protected by copyright and thus is transmissible on death. If significant user interests and expectations exist in the transmission of digital assets on death, therefore, legislative action will be required in the areas of copyright and succession laws. The research demonstrates that some of the content, primarily information and personal data, is neither property nor protected by copyright. For this content, the analysis discusses some alternative legal institutions (breach of confidence, data protection) and argues that their protection can be extended to include the deceased users. The thesis thus introduces a novel phenomenon of post-mortem privacy, the protection of privacy interests of the deceased. It argues that this phenomenon merits a policy and legal account and submits that this concept should foster the user’s autonomy and control, preventing the default transmission of digital assets on death. The thesis further looks at the allocation of ownership of assets through service providers’ contracts, finding a contradictory approach of service providers regarding ownership and transmission of digital assets. These contracts usually curtail the users’ autonomy and control over their assets in life and post-mortem. There have been some recent technological developments led by Google and Facebook, which enable an in-service transmission on the death of some of the content associated with these accounts. These solutions are not free from problems, and the thesis evaluates them and proposes some improvements. User’s autonomy is the main underpinning value of the thesis and the basis for some tentative solutions suggested in the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
The historically grown distinction between for-profit corporations and non-profit organizations has caused a demand for new hybrid corporate forms that allow for the combination of the pursuit of a social or ecological goal and the generation of profits at the same time. These hybrid corporate forms are intended, among others, to attract social responsible investments in general and particularly impact investments, with which an investor aims to solve a social or ecological problem while making a profit. British Columbia has led the path in Canada by implementing the community contribution company (or C3 or CCC).
This thesis argues that from a pure corporate legal point of view, a CCC may provide the highest and most enduring social impact, but depending on the interests of the investor, another corporate form might be more suitable for impact investments in British Columbia.
After some general remarks on impact investing and the consideration of stakeholders’ interests by directors, the thesis first will provide a detailed analysis of the corporate legal features of the CCC. The discussion will show that most provisions governing the CCC intend to achieve two things, i.e., first that the CCC is managed in accordance with its community purpose and second, in particular through restrictions on dividends and asset transfers (asset lock provisions), to protect it from being stripped of its assets. The comparison with other corporate forms following the outline of the CCC’s features intends to draw a conclusion with regard to the suitability for impact investments. While some of the restrictions applicable to a CCC as well as the requirement to produce a community contribution report could be desirable from an impact investor’s point of view, others might be less advantageous or even disadvantageous.
Before concluding the thesis with a summary of the findings as well as some thoughts about further research in this area, potential amendments to the CCC framework in order to increase its suitability for impact investments will be discussed. In addition, some high level thoughts on further incentives for social financing will be provided.Law, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The last decade has witnessed the development of a private launch industry. Under international space law, in particular the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, States shall supervise and authorize the activities of their nationals, including private launch companies, in Outer Space. In the United States, a substantial set of regulations has been elaborated to exercise this control over the activities of the private launch industry. This thesis analyzes, in a first chapter, the evolution which led to these regulations. The Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984 and the subsequent regulations issued by the Office of Commercial Space Transportation, regarding the licensing process are dealt with in the second chapter. The third chapter examines the most important practical legal issue relating to private launch services, namely liability and insurance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to answer the following question: Should it ever be legally permissible to buy a kidney from a living donor in Israel?Existing legislation and government policy prohibit payment out of fear that the poor, minorities, and other vulnerable people will be coerced to exchange organs for money, i.e. it focuses on the potential harm to the donor. This thesis will address the issue of whether this prohibition is justified and how much risk a paid donor should be allowed to assume.
This essay will present a detailed investigation of an existing kidney trade in Israel, as well as a review of the nature and medical risks associated with kidney donation from a healthy kidney donor. It will also provide an overview of the legal provisions and case-law, pertaining to kidney transplant in Israeli law and Jewish law, and will seek answers to the silence of the legislator in different sources of law. This thesis will conclude with suggestions and recommendations for a statutory authorization of a market system of kidney transfer and will present a model of a health-transplant agency, in an effort to answer the growing demand for kidneys.

Full textAbstract:
After over 50 years of development, aircraft financing has made significant achievements in expanding the domestic and global air transport system. An aircraft financing transaction is a complicated process which may involve not only the final users of the aircraft but also the manufacturers, banks or other private investors, trustees, lessors, and institutional lenders, concerning many areas of various subjects. This paper focuses on legal aspects of aircraft financing, especially on China’s current legal system of aircraft financing. Chapter One examines the history of aircraft financing in the United States, Japan and China. Chapter Two discusses different types of financing, and analyzes the classification of Leasing, the most frequently used type of aircraft financing. Chapter Three outlines main international conventions which have built the legal framework of international aircraft financing. Chapter Four turns to China’s current legal framework of aircraft financing. Chapter Five studies new challenges posed to China’s leasing industry in recent years. A few short paragraphs concludes the large gap between China’s domestic aircraft financing industry and the foreign ones, and the efforts that China is making to explore a new way of aircraft financing to harmonise Chinese ideals with international practices.Après plus de 50 ans de développement, le financement aéronautique a fait des pas importants dans l’expansion du transport aérien, chez nous et sur la scène internationale. Le financement d’un avion est un processus compliqué qui concerne non seulement les utilisateurs d’avions, mais aussi les fabricants, les banques ou autres investisseurs privés, les fiduciaires, les locateurs, les prêteurs institutionnels, en ce qui a trait a plusieurs aspects d’une variété de sujets. Le présent document se concentre sur les aspects juridiques du financement d'aéronefs, en particulier sur le courant système juridique de financement aéronautique de la Chine. Le premier chapitre examine l'histoire du financement aéronautique aux États-Unis, au Japon et en Chine. Le deuxième chapitre traite de différents types de financement, et analyse le crédit-bail, le type de financement aéronautique le plus souvent utilise. Chapitre trois décrit les principales conventions internationales qui ont servi à construire le cadre juridique international de financement aéronautique. Chapitre quatre se tourne vers le courant cadre juridique de financement aéronautique de la Chine. Chapitre cinq étudie les nouveaux défis auxquels l'industrie de location a fait face en Chine au cours des dernières années. Quelques courts paragraphes démontrent un écart important entre l’industrie du financement aéronautique en Chine et celle d’autres pays, et démontrent aussi les efforts que la Chine fait pour explorer un nouveau mode de financement aéronautique pour harmoniser les aspirations des chinois avec les pratiques internationales.
