Peculiarities in produced particles emission in 208Pb + Ag(Br) interactions at 158 A GeV/c

The angular structures of particles produced in 208Pb induced collisions with Ag(Br) nuclei in an emulsion detector at 158 A GeV/c have been investigated. Nonstatistical ring-like substructures in azimuthal plane of the collision have been found and their parameters have been determined. The indication on the formation of the ring-like substructures from two symmetrical emission cones - one in the forward and other in the backward direction in the center-of mass system have been obtained. The ring-like substructures parameters have been determined. The experimental results are in an agreement with I.M. Dremin idea, that mechanism of the ring-like substructures formation in nuclear collisions is similar to that of Cherenkov electromagnetic radiation.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Report at the HADRON STRUCTURE'04 Conference, Smolenice, Slovakia, 30.8.-3.9.200

Transnational Sphere of World Politics as a Factor of Development of International Procedural Law

The article analyzes the system of transnational relations as a result of the interaction of actors with varying degrees of sovereignty and autonomy, examines the problem of the normative regulation of transnational relations, analyzes of influence of the transnational sphere of world politics on the formation of transnational procedural law as a component of international procedural law, defines the principles underlying in the basis of the resolution of transnational conflicts. An analysis of the contemporary methods and forms of settling transnational disputes

Modern Legal Regime Use of Force in International Relations

The article deals with legal issues related to the use of armed force in international relations, examines modern doctrines of the use of force, studies the legal aspects of interference in the internal affairs of the state, the problems of the correlation of the principles of international law. The evolution of the category “aggression” and its international legal definition is investigated, as well as an analysis of the main provisions of modern concepts of the right to selfdefense in the context of a changed understanding of aggression

Principle of Mutual Recognition as One of the Structural Vectors of Integration Law

This article analyzes the principles of integration law. The principle of mutual recognition is considered as a special principle of integration associations, which is the structure-forming basis of the integration law, forms and defines directions of legal harmonization. Formation of the mutual recognition principle testifies that integration law is a quite effective regulator of integration relations between states and allows to achieve that goals which participants set them selves, creating a single space

Electric field dependence of thermal conductivity of a granular superconductor: Giant field-induced effects predicted

The temperature and electric field dependence of electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity (TC) of a granular superconductor is considered within a 3D model of inductive Josephson junction arrays. In addition to a low-temperature maximum of zero-field TC K(T,0) (controlled by mutual inductance L_0 and normal state resistivity R_n), the model predicts two major effects in applied electric field: (i) decrease of the linear TC, and (ii) giant enhancement of the nonlinear (i.e., grad T-dependent) TC with [K(T,E)-K(T,0)]/K(T,0) reaching 500% for parallel electric fields E=E_T (E_T=S_0|grad T| is an "intrinsic" thermoelectric field). A possiblity of experimental observation of the predicted effects in granular superconductors is discussed.Comment: 5 LaTeX pages (jetpl.sty included), 2 EPS figures. To be published in JETP Letter
