Data Transferring

Blockchain is one of the technologies provided by the global distribution of computing power. Simply put, the blockchain is the digital ledger in which transactions are recorded. It all started with a desire to see a new form of security system for transferring confidential files. It aims to achieve many goals like decreasing the process time for transferring files to the other party, and reducing the overall expenses as the files are only transferred across the blockchain network with no need for the files to be uploaded and downloaded to the drive. More effective applications have the ability to share files via the technology of Blockchain. The great challenge is to build a private blockchain environment to send files and distribute them securely between parties, such as military institutions and others. In this paper, a private blockchain is built to overcome the side of the security through a secured file-sharing network. This private Blockchain can be utilized at various institutions. A high scale of security is obtained through using an important algorithm that takes into consideration a critical part of the field of cryptography to robustly encrypt the files. The latter ensures that no individual except for the receiver has the ability to access the files. As well, a sufficient speed was obtained when transferring the files, as compared to Ethereum with FTP. Finally, smart contracts have been designed to suit the transfer of files between nodes.

How to respond justly to the dangers persistent violent offenders present is a vexing moral and legal issue. On the one hand, we wish to reduce predation; on the other, we want to treat predators fairly. The central theme of this paper is that it is difficult to achieve both goals without compromising one of them, and that both are being seriously undermined. I begin by explaining the legal theory, doctrine and practice governing dangerous offenders (DO) and demonstrate that the law leaves a gap in the ability to confine them. Next I explore the means by which the law has overtly or covertly sought to fill the gap. Many of these measures, especially the new form of civil commitment for sexual predators, dangerously conflate moral and medical categories. I conclude that pure preventive detention is more common than we usually assume, but that this practice violates fundamental assumptions concerning liberty under the American constitutional regime.

Abstract The pterosaur is the earliest and largest powered flying vertebrate, even earlier and larger than the other extant archosaurian group, birds. However, evidence for this flying reptile, including the diversity of the small-sized pterosaur after the mid-Cretaceous, and their ecology, has remained elusive. Here we present numerous and dense pterosaur track assemblages from the Hwasun Seoyuri tracksite in the Upper Cretaceous Jangdong Formation of the Neungju Basin in Korea. The pterosaur track assemblage, assigned to Pteraichnus isp., consists of various sized, randomly oriented manus-dominated tracks with several pes claw marks. These features commonly indicate the semi-aquatic behavior and multi-age gregariousness of pterosaurs. The supposed trackmaker of pterosaur tracks would be the small-sized pterodactyloid that inhibited the Late Cretaceous Korean Peninsula, but that has not previously been reported. This ichnological evidence for the global distribution of small-sized pterosaurs could be interpreted to mean that the pterosaur fauna in the Late Cretaceous was more distributed and diverse than was previously known.

A New Species

A new species of Tomoptema, T. krugerensis, sp. n., has been recorded from the Kruger National Park, Republic of South Africa.Morphologically it is very similar to T. delalandei cryptotis (Boulenger) but the mating call is markedly different from that of the other members of the genus and this is coupled with small but consistent morphological differences.T. krugerensis sp. n. is known to occur only on a portion of the western fringe of the vast sandveld areas of Mozambique, but possibly has a much wider distribution. Mating call, calling behaviour, eggs, early development and defence mechanisms are described. The affinities of the new form are discussed and the mating calls of other members of the genus are reviewed. Mating call is again shown to be a sensitive non-morphological taxonomic tool.

This chapter examines how historical time was conceptualized in imperial debate. It explores two broad variations that were articulated across the human sciences and in public debate, focusing in particular on the writings of historians. In the first, the modern British empire was figured as uniquely progressive, as capable—either in actuality or in potentia—of avoiding the social, economic, and political dynamics that had annihilated all previous specimens. This argument was most frequently employed in relation to India. The other strategy was to insist that the empire (or a part of it) was not really an empire at all, but rather a new form of political order that could circumvent the entropic degeneration of traditional imperial forms. To think otherwise was to make a category mistake. This argument was often applied to Britain and its settler colonies from the 1870s onwards. “Greater Britain,” as the settler colonial assemblage was often termed, could attain permanence, a kind of historical grace.

Today's era of globalization and digital transformation has produced many modern technologies that have influenced modern societies, blockchain being one. This chapter will set out definitions and criteria related to what blockchain is, its advantages and limitations, and its relation to the modern techniques used in the conclusion of smart contracts; and the impact of this technology on fighting administrative and financial corruption. Within this chapter, the central focus is on a new form of contracts founded as a result of the challenge of aligning the current system of the contract with the application of blockchain technology (i.e., to replace the idea of credit intermediation in dealing [notary, bank, management] with another thought based on a peer-to-peer system to increase contractual security and to establish the principle of self-implementation of the contract without the need to mediate with others).

The main purpose of this chapter is to sketch two principal ways in which lawyers are likely to engage with new transactional technologies (such as smart contract applications of blockchain technologies), each form of engagement being characterized by its own questions and conversations. Whereas one form of engagement, ‘coherentism’, focuses on the fit between particular new technologies and the covering law of contract, the other, ‘regulatory-instrumentalism’, focuses on whether the law (relative to particular new technologies) is fit for regulatory purpose. The sketch is refined by drawing further distinctions between ‘transactionalist’ and ‘relationalist’ variants of ‘coherentism’ and ‘rule-based’ and ‘technocratic’ variants of regulatory-instrumentalism. With a view to decoding legal debates about emerging transactional technologies, this sketch is then applied to questions concerning smart contracts in, respectively, business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and peer-to-peer transactions.

SummaryThere is a mode of specialising a quartic polynomial which causes a binary quartic to become equianharmonic and a ternary quartic to become a Klein quartic, admitting a group of 168 linear self-transformations. The six relations which must be satisfied by the coefficients of the ternary quartic were given by Coble forty years ago, but their true significance was never suspected and they have remained until now an isolated curiosity. In § 2 we give, in terms of a quadric and a Veronese surface, the geometrical interpretation of the six relations; we also give, in terms of the adjugate of a certain matrix, their algebraical interpretation. Both these interpretations make it abundantly clear that this set of relations specialising a ternary quartic has analogues for quartic polynomials in any number of variables, and point unmistakably to what these analogues are.That a ternary quartic is, when so specialised, a Klein quartic is proved in §§ 4–6. The proof bifurcates after (5.3); one branch leads instantly to the standard form of the Klein quartic while the other leads to another form which, on applying a known test, is found also to represent a Klein quartic. One or two properties of the curve follow from this new form of its equation. In §§ 8–10 some properties of a Veronese surface are established which are related to known properties of plane quartic curves; and these considerations lead to a discussion, in § 11, of certain hexads of points associated with a Klein curve.

Abstract The paper deals with anti-Western motifs in Russian avant-garde culture, especially their refraction in Russian futurism. On the one hand, the tendency is linked to a strategic goal—asserting independent versions of this or that new form of art and, on the other, it coincides with fundamental features of Russian modernism such as archaization, national self-identification and Eastern cultures.

Offshore Petroleum

Australia's offshore petroleum legislation is the product of a constitutional compromise enshrined in the Offshore Constitutional Settlement of 1979 between the Commonwealth and the States. Whilst it is current Federal Australian Labor Party policy to dismantle the Offshore Constitutional Settlement and re-assert exclusive Commonwealth jurisdiction from the low-water mark seawards, the Hawke Labor Government has been reluctant to implement this particular policy.A practical consequence of the Offshore Constitutional Settlement for the industry is that many offshore titles are now being split into two separate titles — one under State legislation within the three-mile territorial sea and the other under Commonwealth legislation for the Adjacent Area beyond the territorial sea. The Commonwealth proposal to introduce cash bonus bidding for highly prospective offshore exploration permits after being defeated in the Senate in the first half of 1985 was subsequently passed in November 1985.An APEA proposal for the introduction of a new form of title under the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act (PSLA) to protect currently non-commercial reserves has been adopted by legislation.Following the cash bidding debate the Commonwealth Minister has proposed a new set of guidelines for the award of offshore permits which will contain both a fixed dry-hole commitment plus a discretionary program in the event of technical encouragement.The paper concludes with some recommendations for establishing a more secure and certain system of title under the PSLA and to minimize the current administrative delays being experienced by industry. Finally it urges that the current level of consultation between Government and industry on matters of interest arising under the PSLA should be allowed to continue.

Multiple Causes

Before proceeding, I would like to clarify briefly two interpretative premises, one methodological and one normative, which sustain my argument. Understanding the transformations facing constitutional democratic societies is a demanding task. These transformations, whose multiple causes are socio-economic not merely political, reflect on the one hand in the decline of mass party form of organization and on the other in the success of populism as not simply a movement of contestation but as a ruling power. In this article, I will suggest that the successes of populism are connected to the decline of organized parties, the pillar of constitutional democracy as it emerged after 1945. It is impossible to predict whether populism will succeed in becoming the new form of democracy. It is, however, certain that contemporary representative governments are facing astonishing mutations and the decline of the party form of representative unification of claims and ideas is one of them. My argument relies upon a phenomenology of populism as a movement that is strong in proportion as organized parties are weak, which actually capitalizes on a revolt against intermediary bodies such as parties. 1
