Physical process version of the first law of thermodynamics for black holes in Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton gravity
We derive general formulae for the first order variation of the ADM mass,
angular momentum for linear perturbations of a stationary background in
Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton gravity being the low-energy limit of the
heterotic string theory. All these variations were expressed in terms of the
perturbed matter energy momentum tensor and the perturbed charge current
density. Combining these expressions we reached to the form of the {\it
physical version} of the first law of black hole dynamics for the stationary
black holes in the considered theory being the strong support for the cosmic
censorship.Comment: 8 pages, Revte
Physical Process Version of the First Law of Thermodynamics for Black Holes in Higher Dimensional Gravity
The problem of physical process version of the first law of black hole
thermodynamics for charged rotating black hole in n-dimensional gravity is
elaborated. The formulae for the first order variations of mass, angular
momentum and canonical energy in Einstein (n-2)-gauge form field theory are
derived. These variations are expressed by means of the perturbed matter energy
momentum tensor and matter current density.Comment: 6 pages, REVTEX, to be published in Phys.Rev.D1

ADR and the Courts: An Update
For well over a decade now, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and all its variations have been hailed in rhetoric and anecdote as the Prince Charming to a court system in distress. The author briefly examines three kinds of ADR programs: those that take place inside the court (which are sometimes called court-annexed programs ), those that occur inside the administrative agency (or agency-annexed programs, only a small portion of whose product may come before the courts), and negotiated regulations, some of which (despite all good efforts) continue to be challenged on review
