The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article XXI remains intact, without any modification, since the inception of the GATT in 1947. Recent economic and political developments, however, are not well addressed in the Security Exceptions enshrined in Article XXI. Moreover, the security exceptions that have been incorporated into the General Agreement on Trade in Services and the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement feature some discrepancies as compared to the text in the GATT, which causes confusion. Some free trade agreements have occasionally introduced security exception provisions as well, with notable distinctions compared to those of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The current world trading system has to deal with wholly different dimensions of national security such as cyber-security, terrorism, and energy security. This situation raises an imminent question on how to make those arcane security exception provisions effectively workable legal disciplines. This article examines legal developments in WTO and Free Trade Agreement security exceptions and diagnoses the systematic challenges to effectively apply the Security Exceptions. The WTO Members need to address this issue as early as possible to avoid an unnecessary and inappropriate burden for the dispute settlement system.

It generally takes 2.5 to 3 years for an enterprise to implement total productive maintenance (TPM) in a full swing; however, the actual duration depends on each company's corporate status. Generally speaking, for a company with big staff, it even takes 3 to 5 years, but the major consideration should depend on whether the actual benefit is remarkable or not. This research aims to find out whether TPM was carried out by enterprises, to inspect the enterprises' current performance, and to make comparison with those enterprises that have successfully carried out TPM. Through the findings, we hope to provide reference for enterprise owners when they carry out TPM, so as to reduce the cost for fumble.

Community detection, also known as graph clustering, has been extensively studied in the literature. The goal of community detection is to partition vertices in a complex graph into densely-connected components socalled communities. In recent applications, however, an entity is associated with multiple aspects of relationships, which brings new challenges in community detection. The multiple aspects of interactions can be modeled as a multi-layer graph comprised of multiple interdependent graphs, where each graph represents an aspect of the interactions. Great efforts have therefore been made to tackle the problem of community detection in multi-layer graphs. In this survey, we provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of community detection in multi-layer graphs and compare the state-of-the-art algorithms with respect to their underlying properties.

Purpose ndash; The purpose of this paper is to investigate the efficiencies of argon (Ar), oxygen (O 2 ) and O 2 followed by Ar (O 2 rarr;Ar) plasma treatments in terms of contaminant removal and wire bond interfacial adhesion improvement. The aim of this study is to resolve the ldquo;lifted ball bond rdquo; issue, which is one of the critical reliability checkpoints for light emitting diodes (LEDs) in automotive applications. Design/methodology/approach ndash; Ar, O 2 and O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatments were applied to LED chip bond pad prior to wire bonding process with different treatment durations. Various surface characterization methods and contact angle measurement were then used to characterize the surface properties of these chip bond pads. To validate the improvements of Ar, O 2 and O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatments to the wire bond interfacial adhesion, the chip bond pads were wire bonded and examined with a ball shear test. Moreover, the contact resistance of the wire bond interfaces was also measured by using four-point probe electrical measurements to complement the interfacial adhesion validation. Findings ndash; Surface characterization results show that O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatment was able to remove the contaminant while maintaining relatively low oxygen impurity content on the bond pad surface after the treatment and was more effective as compared with the O 2 and Ar plasma treatments. However, O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatment also simultaneously reduced high-polarity bonds on the chip bond pad, leading to a lower surface free energy than that with the O 2 plasma treatment. Ball shear test and contact resistance results showed that wire bond interfacial adhesion improvement after the O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatment is lower than that with the O 2 plasma treatment, although it has the highest efficiency in surface contaminant removal. Originality/value ndash; To resolve ldquo;lifted ball bond rdquo; issue, optimization of plasma gas composition ratios and parameters for respective Ar and O 2 plasma treatments has been widely reported in many literatures; however, the O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatment is still rarely focused. Moreover, the observation that wire bond interfacial adhesion improvement after O 2 rarr;Ar plasma treatment is lower than that with the O 2 plasma treatment although it has the highest efficiency in surface contaminant removal also has not been reported on similar studies elsewhere.

No matter what the national context, the question of how to understand the impact of government programmes, particularly in terms of value for money, has emerged as a complex problem to be solved by social scientific management. This article engages with these trends in two ways. It focuses on the UK to understand how these tools and technologies are used for valuing objects and practices. By showing the rationality for using these techniques for understanding culture, it creates a link between studies of cultural policy and broader questions facing the arts and humanities. The article #x2019;s second contribution is to our understanding of the role and function of arts and humanities by showing, in the British example, how a true understanding of the value of culture is impossible without the disciplines and fields that are currently peripheral to both government social science and, more broadly, higher education in the UK.

The effect of desorption purge gas oxygen content on activated carbon performance, specifically irreversible adsorption, was investigated. Beaded activated carbon (BAC) was tested for 5 adsorption/regeneration cycles using a mixture of nine organic compounds representing industrially-relevant organic groups. Different concentrations of oxygen (@?5-10,000 ppm) were used in the N 2 desorption purge gas. With increasing O 2 concentration, mass balance cumulative heel increased by up to 35% and the fifth cycle adsorption capacity decreased by up to 55% relative to baseline scenario (@?5 ppm O 2 in N 2 ). Derivative thermogravimetric analysis showed heel formation due to physisorption for @?5 ppm O 2 and a combination of physisorption and chemisorption for other samples, indicating that with increasing oxygen concentration, compounds that would be physically adsorbed in highly pure N 2 , may instead undergo chemical reactions and become chemisorbed. Micropore surface analysis indicated increased diffusion resistance in samples regenerated in ge;625 ppm O 2 , likely associated with chemisorbed species. BAC samples exposed to 50 successive adsorption/regeneration cycles showed trends consistent with short-term exposure (5 cycles). The results may identify suitable purge gas purity for industrial use and explain the relationship between heel formation and purge gas purity.

The chloride diffusivity in cement-based composite materials is mainly affected by the multi-scale pores, including gel pores, capillary pores, entrained and entrapped voids, etc. The pore-structure parameters, e.g. pore size, pore connectivity, pore surface roughness and pore volume fraction (porosity), will be changed under external mechanical loadings. And this leads to the change of the chloride diffusivity in cement paste. The porosity is regarded as the primary parameter of water-saturated cement paste, and the effect of the external mechanical loadings on the chloride diffusivity in cement paste is treated as the change of porosity on the chloride diffusivity. Saturated cement paste is regarded as a two-phase composite composed of intrinsic cement matrix and pore-water inclusion. A two-phase spherical model is developed, and the quantitative relationship between current porosity of cement paste and initial porosity as well as volumetric strain is evaluated based on the theory of elasticity. Moreover, a theoretical formula for the simulation of chloride diffusivity in cement paste is obtained. Finally, the effects of external mechanical loadings (herein i.e. the volumetric strain) and porosity variation on the chloride diffusion behavior of cement paste are explored based on the Fick's second law. It is found that chloride diffusion coefficient of saturated cement paste increases greatly with the increase of initial porosity. Furthermore, the diffusion coefficient decreases with the increase of compressive volumetric strain, and increases with the increase of the tensile volumetric strain.

On December 18, 2014, the Guinea Ministry of Health was notified by local public health authorities in Kissidougou, a prefecture in southeastern Guinea (pop. 284,000), that the number of cases of Ebola virus disease (Ebola) had increased from one case reported during December 8-14, 2014, to 62 cases reported during December 15-21. Kissidougou is one of the four Guinea prefectures (the others are Macenta, Gueckedou, and Conakry) where Ebola was first reported in West Africa in March 2014, and the mid-December increase was the largest documented by any prefecture in Guinea in a single week since the beginning of the epidemic. The Guinea Ministry of Health requested assistance from CDC and the World Health Organization to investigate the local outbreak, identify and isolate persons with suspected Ebola, assess transmission chains, and implement control measures. The investigation found that 85 confirmed Ebola cases were linked to one traditional funeral ceremony, including 62 (73%) cases reported during December 15-21. No additional cases related to this funeral ceremony were reported after January 10, 2015. After the outbreak was identified, rapid implementation of interventions limited additional Ebola virus transmission. Improved training for prompt reporting of cases, investigation, and contact tracing, and community acceptance of safe burial methods can reduce the risk for Ebola transmission in rural communities.

Previous research findings display that after having seen popular climate change films, people became more concerned, more motivated and more aware of climate change, but changes in behaviors were short-term. This article performs a meta-analysis of three popular climate change films, The Day after Tomorrow (2005), An Inconvenient Truth (2006), and The Age of Stupid (2009), drawing on research in social psychology, human agency, and media effect theory in order to formulate a rationale about how mass media communication shapes our everyday life experience. This article highlights the factors with which science blends in the reception of the three climate change films and expands the range of options considered in order to encourage people to engage in climate change mitigation actions.

Rigid steric hindering spiro-bisphosphates (PDMPDP and PDBPDP) were synthesized from spiro-pentaerythritol chlorophosphate and 2,6-dimethylphenol and o-tert-butylphenol respectively in order to investigate the effect of steric hindering groups on the flame retardant mechanism of bisphosphates and the effect of rigid spiro-pentaerythritol structure on the heat distortion temperature (HDT) of polycarbonate. A comparison of the steric hindering spiro-bisphosphates with the simplest phenyl spiro-bisphosphate (PDPDP) and commercial resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) on the flame retardancy of polycarbonate reveals that the presence of a thermally stable steric hindering group not only changes the efficiency but also shifts the mode of flame retardancy. In spite of low phosphorus content, PDMPDP and RDP show the highest efficiency of flame retardancy toward polycarbonate as evidenced by UL-94 combustion results with RDP exhibiting the strongest vapor phase action, PDMPDP the second, and PDPDP the least as judged from the phosphorus distribution in the vapor and the condensed phase. This is parallel to the tendency of chemical interactions between polycarbonate and flame retardants with PDPDP demonstrating the greatest interaction as proven by TGA study in air. It is suggested that the charring process of PDPDP interferes with that of polycarbonate and leads to microporous char that is seen in SEM and partially responsible for the poor flame retardancy of PDPDP. Compared to PC/RDP, PC/PDMPDP has a high HDT value.

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni , the causal agent of bacterial spot disease of stone fruits, is a regulated quarantine pathogen in the European Union, listed as an A2 pest by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO). Because detection and identification of this pathogen is key for its management and to ensure the production of pest free propagation material, it should be based on reliable tests, in particular when dealing with symptomless material. The current EPPO diagnostic Standard (PM 7/64) does not provide specific molecular methods for detection of this pest. The present paper summarizes the results of a test #8208;performance study (TPS) to validate, at a national level, a detection procedure for this bacterium. A working group was established in order to evaluate the performance criteria for tests included in the current EPPO Standard, and for a conventional PCR. On the basis of the obtained performance criteria, a diagnostic procedure was elaborated and then applied to perform an inter #8208;laboratory comparison. Screening tests for the detection of the bacterium on symptomless plant material based on IF and/or PCR were proposed, in parallel with isolation on agar media. For identification two methods were suggested: a molecular test or IF. This paper reports on the results of the TPS and proposes a flow diagram for the detection and identification of X.?arboricola pv. pruni .

This study examines the concept of aspirational groups: a reference group that a firm wishes to associate with. A desire to belong to an aspirational group may provide an important source of strategy formulation. Drawing from insights from consumer marketing on aspirational groups, the study explores the composition and structure of aspirational groups compared to strategic groups in a market setting. Using qualitative data from senior managers in the UK general insurance market, this study arrives at the following findings. First, aspirational groups do not necessarily share the same composition or structure as strategic groups. Second, selection of aspirational firms is driven by attribute association. Third, aspirations can be conflicting and reversed. Fourth, firms do not seek membership of the aspirational group but isolate key attributes they aspire to. These findings contribute to knowledge on strategy formation by highlighting the important role aspirational groups play in understanding competitive market movements.

Conspectus With new advances in theoretical methods and increased computational power, applications of computational chemistry are becoming practical and routine in many fields of chemistry. In organic chemistry, computational chemistry plays an indispensable role in elucidating reaction mechanisms and the origins of various selectivities, such as chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities. Consequently, mechanistic understanding improves synthesis and assists in the rational design of new catalysts. In this Account, we present some of our recent works to illustrate how computational chemistry provides new mechanistic insights for improvement of the selectivities of several organic reactions. These examples include not only explanations for the existing experimental observations, but also predictions which were subsequently verified experimentally. This Account consists of three sections discuss three different kinds of selectivities. The first section discusses the regio- and stereoselectivities of hydrosilylations of alkynes, mainly catalyzed by [Cp*Ru(MeCN) 3 ] + or [CpRu(MeCN) 3 ] + . Calculations suggest a new mechanism that involves a key ruthenacyclopropene intermediate. This mechanism not only explains the unusual Markovnikov regio-selectivity and anti -addition stereoselectivity observed by Trost and co-workers, but also motivated further experimental investigations. New intriguing experimental observations and further theoretical studies led to an extension of the reaction mechanism. The second section includes three cases of meta -selective C ndash;H activation of aryl compounds. In the case of Cu-catalyzed selective meta -C ndash;H activation of aniline, a new mechanism that involves a Cu(III)-Ar-mediated Heck-like transition state, in which the Ar group acts as an electrophile, was proposed. This mechanism predicted a higher reactivity for more electron-deficient Ar groups, which was supported by experiments. For two template-mediated, meta -selective C ndash;H bond activations catalyzed by Pd(II), different mechanisms were derived for the two templates. One involves a dimeric Pd ndash;Pd or Pd ndash;Ag active catalyst, and the other involves a monomeric Pd catalyst, in which a monoprotected amino acid coordinates in a bidentate fashion and serves as an internal base for C ndash;H activation. The third section discusses a desymmetry strategy in asymmetric synthesis. The construction of rigid skeletons is critical for these catalysts to distinguish two prochiral groups. Overall, fruitful collaborations between computational and experimental chemists have provided new and comprehensive mechanistic understanding and insights into these useful reactions.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies a substantial proportion of their recommendations as strong despite low or very low confidence (certainty) in estimates of effect. Such discordant recommendations are often inconsistent with Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidance. Objective: To gain the perspective of senior WHO methodology chairs regarding panels' use of GRADE, particularly regarding discordant recommendations. Data sources: Senior active GRADE methodologists who had served on at least two WHO panels and were an author on at least one peer-reviewed published article on GRADE methodology. Methods: Five eligible methodologists participated in detailed semistructured interviews. Respondents answered questions regarding how they were viewed by other panelists and WHO leadership, and how they handled situations when panelists made discordant recommendations they felt were inappropriate. They also provided information on how the process can be improved. Interviews were recorded and transcribed, and inductive content analysis was used to derive codes, categories, and emergent themes. Results: Three themes emerged from the interviews of five methodologists: (1) The perceived role of methodologists in the process, (2) Contributors to discordant recommendations, and (3) Strategies for improvement. Salient findings included (1) a perceived tension between methodologists and WHO panels as a result of panel members' resistance to adhering to GRADE guidance; (2) both financial and nonfinancial conflicts of interest among panel members as an explanation for discordant recommendations; and (3) the need for greater clarity of, and support for, the role of methodologists as co-chairs of panels. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the role of the GRADE methodologist as a co-chair needs to be clarified by the WHO leadership. They further suggest the need for additional training for panelists, quality monitoring, and feedback to ensure optimal use of GRADE in guideline development at WHO.
