 | President Bush has made closer relations with India a priority. thereby intensifying a process begun by the previous administration. Strengthening U.S.- India ties and cooperation on Asia-Pacific security issues can advance national interests in regional stability by reducing the risk of nuclear war on the subcontinent, The first step in the process is to peel away remaining punitive sanctions against India. Although symbolic of the commitment to nonproliferation, sanctions are ... |

| The effect of oblique deposition on the optical and electrical properties of As(2)S(3) and As(2)Se(3) thin films has been investigated. Amorphous films of As(2)S(3) and As(2)Se(3) were deposited on glass substrate by vacuum evaporation of source materials. The indirect optical bandgap energy was obtained to be 2.40eV for As(2)S(3) and 1.81 eV for As(2)Se(3). The band gap was found to be independent of angle of deposition. DC conductivity of the ... |

| An astonishing new phenomenon has been recently observed in magnetic wires. It consists of the spontaneous rotation of the wires when submitted to an exciting AC axial field with frequency of the order of kHz and amplitude above some threshold. The rotation is believed to appear due to interaction between generated magnetoelastic standing waves and induced eddy currents. In the present work rotational characteristics of Fe(77.5)Si(7.5)B(15) and Fe(73.5)Si(13.5)B(9)Cu1Nb3 wires in ... |

| This thesis assesses the potential for a specific type of accidental nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Known as inadvertent war, such a conflict would be the result of a mistaken attempt at preemption, the launching of a nuclear attack by one nation in the mistaken belief that the other was doing likewise or was about to do so. While nuclear weapons can ordinarily be expected to exert a sobering ... |

Georgraphic proximity, offensive power, and aggressive intentions affect the threat level.

| The United States occasionally seeks to compel or coerce others, either nations or nonstate actors. To do so, it threatens use of force but, ideally, wants to prevail without actually using force. The analytic language surrounding "compellence" focuses on point outcomes. However, most cases of compellence turn out not to have point outcomes, but instead have been campaigns. For example, the United States was still dealing with Saddam Hussein almost ... |

A consistent feature of weather and climate data is that they are aperiodic and their deviations from periodicity cannot be explained by conventional linear models of time series analysis. It is therefore essential that the nature of the sea level change is analyzed and modelled in order to assess the changes from one coastline to other or from the changes taking place ... |
