Quando as partes são pessoas de pequeno poder, os juízes quase não recebem pressões. Porém, quando uma das partes é poderosa, as pressões quase sempre estão presentes, inclusive através de peças processuais tentando conduzir o processo. Só num Mundo de juízes imparciais e reativos às pressões seria possível a prevalência dos critérios de justiça. Num sistema democrático, objetivando maximizar a justiça, convém minimizar o poder de decisão dos juízes, o que pode ser feito pelas várias formas de subsunção, em variados sistemas de governo. Isto posto, fica claro que a busca da subsunção através de critérios de justiça constitui a essência e a razão de ser do Dir...

This book presents and discusses current research in the study of linear and non-linear evolution equations. Topics discussed include semi-linear abstract differential equations; singular solutions of a semi-linear elliptic equation on non-smooth domains; non-linear parabolic systems with non-linear boundaries; the decay of solutions of a non-linear BBM-Burgers System and critical curves for a degenerate parabolic system with non-linear boundary conditions.
Humanity's love affair with mathematics and mysticism reached a critical juncture, legend has it, on the back of a turtle in ancient China. As Clifford Pickover briefly recounts in this enthralling book, the most comprehensive in decades on magic squares, Emperor Yu was supposedly strolling along the Yellow River one day around 2200 B.C. when he spotted the creature: its shell had a series of dots within squares. To Yu's amazement, each row of squares contained fifteen dots, as did the columns and diagonals. When he added any two cells opposite along a line through the center square, like 2 and 8, he always arrived at 10. The turtle, unwitting inspirer of the ''Yu'' square, went on to a life...
In this book, a make-believe cocaine museum becomes a vantage point from which to assess the lives of Afro-Colombian gold miners drawn into the dangerous world of cocaine production in the rain forest of Colombia's Pacific Coast. Although modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia's central bank, the Banco de la República, Taussig's museum is also a parody aimed at the museum's failure to acknowledge the African slaves who mined the country's wealth for almost four hundred years. Combining natural history with political history in a filmic, montage style, Taussig deploys the show-and-tell modality of a museum to engage with the inner life of heat, rain, stone, and swamp, no less than with the life of gold and cocaine. This effort to find a poetry of words becoming things is brought to a head by the explosive qualities of those sublime fetishes of evil beauty, gold and cocaine. At its core, Taussig's museum is about the lure of forbidden things, charged substances that transgress moral codes, the distinctions we use to make sense of the world, and above all the conventional way we write stories.
The fundamental processes of mass transport in membranes are outlined in this book, which also develops the applications of these processes in industry. Local transport phenomena and the behaviour of individual elements, the technical unit and the module are all examined.
Centuries of Jewish Life are revealed in the terse inscriptions recorded in this book, most engraved by local non-Jewish masons. The brief data they present give the story of Jewish settlement in this Caribbean Island at the gateway to the New World. It is the story of brave entrepreneurs who sought to build a fresh life for themselves and their people and to create a bridge between the Old World and the New. The stones are sometimes the only historical source recording the existence of the individuals and their achievements. For this reason these inscriptions are important as a unique historical source for Jewish History.
