He was a superb ambassador and a great addition to our community. We have developed a wide range o f follow-up plans that w ill keep Rutgers and the University o f Latvia in close contact.” Dr. Edward Rhodes, Director, Center fo r Global Security and Democracy and Assistant Professor, Department o f Political Science, Rutgers, State University — Newo f New Brunswick Jersey “ Dr. Okut and his family have been a delight and we have learned much from them. Clearly his collaboration with us at work has been an outstanding success, and the opportunity to interact with him on a more personal basis has lead to a greater appreciation o f just how similar we are, despite our cultural differences.” Dr. Terry E. Duncan, Senior Research Scientist, Oregon Research Institute “ Dr. Thienprasert showed a high level o f dedication and enthusiasm that in part came from her sense of responsibility towards the Fulbright Program and her desire to make every hour o f her experience here count. It is my impression that the Fulbright Program actively selects exceptionally bright and hard-working scholars who are open and appreciative to teaching and mentoring.” Dr. Joseph R. Hibbeln, Senior Clinical Investigator, and Dr. Norman Salem, Chief, Laboratory of Membrane Biophysics and Biochemistry, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes o f Health “ Yujin Yaguchi was an active and visible member of our scholarly community. He introduced many of us to American studies in the Japanese context. We learned much from him, and he very much enjoyed his stay here.” Christopher Connery and Gail Hershatter, Co-directors, Center fo r Cultural Studies, University of C a lifo rn - ia Santa Cruz “ The students in my group interacted w ith Dr. Rahman both professionally and socially during her stay in our department. I know that a number o f them learned a great deal about Malaysia, Islam, and Southeast Asia. Dr. Rahman, in turn, spent time in our community exploring the culture o f Indiana and Purdue University.” Mark Lipton, Associate Professor, Department o f Chemistry, Purdue University C o n t e n t s I ntroduction 5 Oc c a s io n a lL ec tu r er Pr o g r a m 5 Oc c a s io n a lL ec tu r er St o r ie s . 6 Ot h e r Vis it in g Sc h o l a r Sto r ies 7 Vis it in g Sc h o l a r s b y A c a d e m i c F i e l d . 11 A g r ic u l t u r e.................................................. 11 A m e r ic a n H is t o r y.................................... 13 A m e r ic a n L i t e r a t u r e........................... 14 A n t h r o p o l o g y a n d A r c h a e o l o g y . , 15 A rchitecture a n d U r b a n Pl a n n in g 15 A r e a St u d i e s.................. 17 A r t ......................................... 17 A r t H is t o r y....................... 18 Bio l o g ic a l Sc ien c es . 18 Bu siness A dministration 24 Ch e m is t r y........................... 25 Co mmunications a n d j o u r n a l is m . 28 Co m p u t e r Sc ie n c e . 30 Cr e a t iv eW r it in g . 31 Ec o n o m i c s....................... 32 Ed u c a t io n........................... 35 En g in e e r in g....................... 39 En vironmental Sc ie n c e s 43 Ge o g r a p h y. 46 Ge o lo g y .... 47 H is t o r y (n o n -U.S.) 47 L a n g u a g e a n d L it e r a t u r e (n o n -U.S.). 50 L a w........................... 52 L ib r a r y Sc ien c e . 56 L in g u is t ic s . 56 M a t h e m a t ic s. 59 M e d ic a lSciences 60 3 M U S IC . 65 PHILOSOPHY 66 P h y s ic s a n d A s t r o n o m y 68 P o l it ic a l S c ie n c e . 70 P s y c h o l o g y ....................... 74 P u b l ic A dministration . 76 Re l ig io u s S t u d ie s . 77 S o c io l o g y a n d S o c ia l W o r k 78 T E F L /A p p l ie dL in g u is t ic s . 80 T h e a t e ra n d D a n c e 81 S e m i n a r P r o g r a m s . 83 N e w C e n t u r y S c h o l a r s P r o g r a m 85 A lphabetical I n d e x . 87 H o s t S t a t e I n d e x . 99 H o m e G e o g r a p h ic A r e a i n d e x 117 S p e c i a lp r o g r a m s I n d e x 129 2001-2002 VISITING FULBRIGHT SCHOLARS 131 Geographical listings in this publication are a matter o f adm inistrative convenience and are not intended to im ply a U.S.

  • The Astronaut's Legal Status
    The Astronaut’s Legal Status Yuri Baturin1 Doctor of Law, Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, Pilot-cosmonaut of Russia, Chief researcher, S.I. Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technology of RAS (Moscow, Russia) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1481-5369 Baturin, Yuri (2020) The Astronaut’s Legal Status. Advanced Space Law, Volume 5, 4-13. https://doi.org/10.29202/asl/2020/5/1 The article proposes to define the concept of “astronaut” through the four elements — specialty “astronaut,” astronaut’s qualification, profession “astronaut” and “astronaut” as the occupation. In this case, it is possible to define the concept of “astronaut” through the labor function of the astronaut. The legal status of an astronaut is considered as a generalization of practical activities in the field of manned astronautics. On the basis of spaceflights experience, additional rules concerning the rights and duties of the astronauts are proposed. A significant list of problems of the astronaut’s legal status, which are still pending, is given. It is also proposed to introduce an international component into the astronaut’s legal status, and not only to use the full range of rights and privileges of astronauts, which are provided for by international law, but also to empower the cosmonaut with the authority of a state representative at a foreign or international manned space object. Keywords: astronaut, astronaut’s labor function, professional activities of an astronaut, astronaut’s rights and obligations, astronaut’s legal status, contract for undertaking of a space mission, space law. Received: March 01, 2020; accepted: April 07, 2020 Introduction Now that the International Space Station is up and running and multilateral cooperation has become the norm, we sometimes forget how long and hard was the road to smooth cooperation in this strategic area affecting the interests of many countries.

  • Tsunami Hazard and Buildings Vulnerability Along the Northern
    El Moussaoui et al. Geoenvironmental Disasters (2017) 4:25 Geoenvironmental Disasters DOI 10.1186/s40677-017-0089-6 RESEARCH Open Access Tsunami hazard and buildings vulnerability along the Northern Atlantic coast of Morocco –the 1755-like tsunami in Asilah test-site Said El Moussaoui1*, Rachid Omira2,3, Mohamed Najib Zaghloul1, Hajar El Talibi4 and Khadija Aboumaria1 Abstract Background: The Atlantic Coast of Morocco is prone to tsunami inundation. Therefore, in this region, earthquake- induced tsunami hazard has been intensively investigated leading to the development of a number of coastal inundation models. However, tsunami vulnerability remains not well understood to the same extent as the hazard. In this study, we use high-resolution numerical modeling, detailed field survey and GIS-based multi-criteria analysis to assess the building tsunami vulnerability and its sensitivity to the tide variations. Asilah located in the northwestern Atlantic coast of Morocco, where the impact from the 1755 tsunami is well documented, constitutes the area of this study. Results: To model the source-to-coast tsunami processes we used the COMCOT (Cornell Multi-grid Coupled Tsunami Model) numerical code on a set of bathymetric/topographic grid layers (640 m, 160 m, 40 m and 10 m resolutions) with an initial sea-surface perturbation generated using Okada’s formulae and assuming an instantaneous seabed displacement. The tsunami source models in this study correspond to four 1755-like earthquake scenarios. Results show that Asilah’s built environment is highly vulnerable to the tsunami impact that can range from 1.99 to 2.46 km2 of inundation area, depending on the source and the tidal level considered.

  • Nivkhi on the Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant
    AF T E RW O R D: AF T E R L I V E S A N D AF T E RW O R L D S Nivkhi on The Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant B Y T H E A D V E N T of World War II, the lives of most Gilyaks had changed dramati- cally. The Soviet government officially recognized the use of their self-designation, “Nivkh,” and in the Soviet drive to create proletarians from primitives, the idea of “Gilyak” came to take on pejorative connotations of all things past. That the gov- er nment embraced the name “Nivkh” as a hallmark of native self-determination, but simultaneously forbade Nivkhi to speak the Nivkh language, was only one of many contradictions between tradition and modernity that their belonging in the new Sovi- et Union had set before them.1 For the new Nivkh society, one of the greatest legacies of the post-World War II period was the widespread integration of women into the workforce. Before the war, efforts to recruit women into Sovietized native institutions such as clan councils foundered on the reluctance of Nivkh men and women alike. With the conscription of Nivkh and Russian men to the war front, women all over Sakhalin and the Amur had to take the work of the fishing collectives into their own hands. During my own fieldwork on Sakhalin in 1990, one woman explained to me, I was 10 when the war started. I had only been in school a year but our mother had no money, so I started working on the kolkhoz.

  • Prof. Michael Tsapatsis University of Minnesota Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science
    e CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Ch UC SANTA BARBARA TM CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 290 SEMINAR SERIES PRESENTS Prof. Michael Tsapatsis University of Minnesota Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science 4pm - Tuesday, February 9th 2016 in ENGR II room 1519 2-dimensional zeolites for catalysis and separations It is only recently that single-unit-cell thick zeolite nanosheets (2-dimensional zeolites; AIChE Journal 60(7), 2374-2381 (2014) ) with intact crystal and micropore structure were shown to be possible. The structural integrity and unprecedented purity and uniformity of these microporous nanosheets, open exciting possibilities for technological breakthroughs in molecular sieve membrane fabrication, synthesis of hierarchical catalysts and polymer-zeolite nanocomposites. Moreover, zeolite nanosheets enable for the first time zeolite pore mouth adsorption and catalysis to be studied by traditional uptake methods as well as surface science techniques. However, along with the exciting possibilities, challenges abound. For example, the in-plane dimensions of the existing nanosheets are in the sub-micrometer range limiting potential applications and processability as thin films. Moreover, the two exfoliated zeolites currently available are only a small fraction of zeolite topologies one would like to have available for a representative set. Earlier attempts to exfoliate other layered zeolites, including certain layered silicates and aluminophosphates with microporous layers, did not preserve the crystallographic order of the layers. Synthesis of high aspect ratio zeolite and other crystalline nanoporous nanosheets, methods to characterize their structure and properties, along with their processing and assembly to create membranes and catalysts will be the focus of this talk. Michael Tsapatsis joined the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota in September 2003 as a professor and he currently holds the Amundson Chair.

This became known as “the Kabyle (or Berber) myth” and was propagated both by North African nationalists and by the academic world in order to validate their accusations against the colonial powers of practicing a “divide and conquer” policy. What’s more, from the outset, the French and Spanish colonial govern- ments, by empowering Arabic as an imperial and dominant language to the detriment of the peripheral and low prestige Berber languages, greatly contributed to the widespread acceptance of a further myth, i.

  • Dynamics of USA-Pakistan Relations in the Post 9/11 Period: Hurdles and Future Prospects
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 11; June 2012 Dynamics of USA-Pakistan Relations in the Post 9/11 Period: Hurdles and Future Prospects Shahnaz Akhtar PhD Research Scholar Department of Political Science University of Peshawar Pakistan Abstract Pakistan-USA relations hold greater importance. Since independence of Pakistan, USA and Pakistan have been cooperating with each other not only in the economic field but also politically, socially and diplomatically. USA has always assisted Pakistan in all these fields and has been one of the key allies in providing funds and support. There have been times of mistrust and suspicions as well but while analyzing the overall scenario one can clearly asses that Pakistan’ relationship with USA has been one of the significant features of Pakistan’s foreign policy. This study assesses the importance of this relationship and the hurdles which obstruct cooperation and progress in the Pakistan-USA relationship. Furthermore the dynamics of their relationship after 9/11 with prospects of good will and cooperation in future also form part of this study. Key words: USA –Pakistan relations, terrorism, 9/11, Interests, Islamic militancy 1. Introduction A democratic and stable Pakistan is vital to US interests. After 9/11 two states came closer to each other because of both countries joined efforts against war on terrorism. Pakistan has been praised for its cooperation to counter terrorism although Pakistan is burning in fire of domestic terrorism. Since history there are many ups and downs in Pakistan-USA relations, but Pakistan joined hands with US in terrorism war despite of severe public protest in Pakistan against this decision.
