Inter-state use of force has always attracted much attention from international legal scholars. Many articles have been written on the subject. However, there are still a limited number of books addressing all the aspects of the contemporary prohibition on the use of force in a systematic way. Those written by Yoram Dinstein, Christine Gray, and Thomas Franck are certainly the best known in the English-speaking literature. This literature is now enriched following the publication of a new book entitled The Law against War by Olivier Corten. It is a translated and updated version of a book published in French and entitled Le droit contre la guerre, which explains why it has been published in the French Studies in International Law collection of Hart Publishing.

The impact of India’s economic reforms on economic performance has been the subject of much academic study and public debate in India, but the focus has been largely on the performance of the economy as a whole or of individual sectors. The performance of individual states in the post-reforms period has not received comparable attention and yet there are very good reasons why such an analysis should be of special interest.  The study focuses on the issue of inter-state disparities of the 14 major states in the post-reform period beginning from the 1991-92 to 1998-99 and further from 2000-01 to 2005-06.

The subject of the present article, which presents a part of a Doctor Thesis dealing with the ethics of W. D. Ross, are some selected problems of the deontological part of that ethical system. The analysis relates to Ross’s attitude in meta-ethics, as well as his concepts in the sphere of normative ethics.

Niniejszy artykuł ma za zadanie przybliżyć mało znaną postać Adama Toryaniego, przedstawiciela krakowskiej rodziny radziecko-ławniczej o włosko-szwajcarskim pochodzeniu. Postać Adama Toryaniego bez wątpienia znajdowała się w cieniu zarówno jego ojca, Franciszka I Toryaniego, architekta, rajcy krakowskiego, jak również braci: Karola, rajcy krakowskiego oraz Franciszka II, ławnika krakowskiego, a nawet bratanka Józefa, rajcy i aptekarza krakowskiego, doktora obojga praw. Poprzez związek małżeński Adama Toryaniego z przedstawicielką osiadłej na obszarze dawnych księstw oświęcimskiego i zatorskiego szlacheckiej rodziny Skorupków-Padlewskich starano się także pokazać faktyczną płynność granic międzystanowych w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. Wprawdzie, co trzeba zaznaczyć, rodzina Toryanich (Torriani) herbu della Torre należała do starej szlachty lombardzko- szwajcarskiej, niemniej jednak nie uzyskała polskiego indygenatu, w każdym razie nie udało się dotrzeć do informacji na ten temat. Artykułowi towarzyszy edycja dwóch powiązanych ze sobą tekstów źródłowych – testamentu Adama Toryaniego, spi44 Maciej Ziemierski sanego 23 kwietnia 1756 r., oraz jego pośmiertnego inwentarza, spisanego 10 czerwca 1757 r. przez żonę Mariannę ze Skorupków-Padlewskich. The fate of Adam Toryani (after 6 March 1701–1756/57), son of the Krakow councillor Franciszek Toryani, in the light of his testament and posthumous inventory This article attempts to familiarise readers with the little-known figure of Adam Toryani, a representative of the Krakow judicial family of Italian-Swiss origin. Adam Toryani was undoubtedly in the shadow of his father, Franciszek I Toryani, an architect and Krakow councillor, as well as his brothers: Karol, a Krakow councillor and Franciszek II, a Krakow judge, and even his nephew Józef, a Krakow councillor and pharmacist as well as a doctor of canon and civil law. Through the marriage of Adam Toryani with a representative of the noble Skorupka-Padlewski family, settled in the area of the former Duchies of Oświęcim and Zator, there is also an attempt to show the fluidity of the inter-state borders in the former Republic. It is worth mentioning that the Toryani (Torriani) family coat of arms, the Della Torre, belonged to the old nobility of Lombardy-Switzerland, however, it did not obtain a Polish indygenat, or at least no information has been found on the subject. The article is accompanied by the edition of two related texts – the testament of Adam Toryani, written on 23 April 1756, and his posthumous inventory, prepared on 10 June 1757 by his wife, Marianna, née Skorupka-Padlewski.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

In this paper an orbit computation program for artificial satellites is presented. This program is operational and it has already been used to compute the orbits of several satellites.After an introductory discussion on the subject of artificial satellite orbit computations, the features of this program are thoroughly explained. In order to achieve the representation of the orbital elements over short intervals of time a drag-free perturbation theory coupled with a differential correction procedure is used, while the long range behavior is obtained empirically. The empirical treatment of the non-gravitational effects upon the satellite motion seems to be very satisfactory. Numerical analysis procedures supporting this treatment and experience gained in using our program are also objects of discussion.

Rule: I'd like at this point to bring up the subject of cables and wireways around the telescope. We've touched upon this twice during previous sessions: the cable wrap up problem, the communications problem, and data multiplexing problem. I think we'll ask Bill Baustian if he will give us a brief run down on what the electrical run problems are, besides doubling the system every year.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
