UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL COMMONS
We want to clarify the way in which we think about the global commons, particularly the problem of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions and tropical deforestation. We develop a policy framework in which the policy goal is the sustainability of the earth's ability to absorb greenhouse gases. The framework considers the unequal incidence of benefits and costs of particular policies. We identify several resource management regimes and suggest that management under a common property regime is most appropriate. We conclude by identifying and briefly discussing types of policies that can achieve sustainability.Environmental Economics and Policy,

Effect of Processing Parameters on the Density and Microstructure of Direct Laser Sintered Al-12Si Powders
The effect of processing parameters on the sintering behaviour of gas atomised Al-12Si
powders has been investigated. Laser power, scanning rate, scan spacing and layer
thickness are found to control the densification and the resultant microstructural
characteristics of the laser sintered parts. It was found that sintered density increased as
the energy density increased reaching a maximum of 80.2% at an energy input per unit
volume of 67 J mm-3. For parts produced with a slightly lower power density (50 J mm-3), the microstructure consisted of fine dendrites with interconnected porosity while parts
fabricated with a slightly higher power density (100 J mm-3) were noted to have a
preponderance of coarse dendrites with a discontinuous network of irregular shaped pores
surrounded by a fully dense aluminium-silicon matrix.Mechanical Engineerin
Teleportation using coupled oscillator states
We analyse the fidelity of teleportation protocols, as a function of resource
entanglement, for three kinds of two mode oscillator states: states with fixed
total photon number, number states entangled at a beam splitter, and the
two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We define corresponding teleportation protocols
for each case including phase noise to model degraded entanglement of each
resource.Comment: 21 pages REVTeX, manuscript format, 7 figures postscript, many

Selective Laser Sintering of Polymer Nanocomposites
This paper describes the fabrication and characterization of polymer nanocomposite (PNC)
materials for use in the selective laser sintering (SLS) process. PNC materials are of great
interest generally because of their excellent physical properties, and offer excellent potential
in rapid manufacturing of structural polymeric parts. Three different nano additive materials
have been used: cerium oxide IV, yttrium stabilized zirconia, and layered Hectorite clay.
These materials have been used to reinforce PA6 polymer using solution blending and spray
drying to create powder with particle sizes in the range of 5-40 µm. The mechanical
properties and microstructure of the PNC materials have been evaluated and the results
compared to those of unfilled polymer.Mechanical Engineerin
