Controversy continues over the appropriate role that Congress should play in regulating U.S. military operations against foreign entities. U.S. action against Libya reignited consideration of long-standing questions concerning the President's constitutional authority to use military force without congressional authorisation, as well as congressional authority to regulate or limit the use of such force.

Statins work by reducing cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. The decrease in cholesterol levels is associated with increased expression of receptors of hepatocytes, with a greater extraction of plasma LDL-C and a lower diffusion of it into the tissues. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the pharmacology, clinical implications and adverse effects of statins. Topics include the pleiot...

The Klamath River Basin on the California-Oregon border is a focal point for local and national discussions on water allocation and species protection.

The so-called "hard problem" of consciousness, i.e. the problem of explaining how and why we have conscious experiences, has received different formulations across time. Back in 1868, Thomas Henry Huxley suggested that the mystery of consciousness resides somewhere -- or somehow -- in the activity of the brain. Since then, both clinical and basic neurosciences have taken the problem of consciousness seriously, joining the allied disciplines of...

In this thesis, we consider mechanical problems with nonmonotone contact, like adhesive problems, delamination problems, bilateral contact problems with nonmonotone friction law, nonmonotone unilateral contact, etc. In all of them the contact phenomena are described by nonmonotone and multivalued laws, which can be expressed by means of the Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz function called a nonconvex, nonsmooth superpotential. Pro...
