The main scope or this Work and that I Will deal with, is to present a thorough study or past and present decisions concerning the allocation or jurisdiction over events aboard aircrart in international flight. In recommending policies for the future, I Should determine the applicability of the factors affecting the general process ot decision to the specific problem relating to the aircraft issue. In an active world of constant interaction, since the advent or the aircraft, there has been an increasing need for collaboration or individuals and nation states. Therefore, effective control of participants in certain particular events of value shaping and sharing is needed, so that the states will be villing to maintain public order by yielding part or their sovereignty towards the lines of an international procedure.

Depuis plus d'un quart de siècle, nombreux sont les juristes qui se sont penchés sur le problème si apparamentt simple mais si réellement complexe de la responsabilité du transporteur aérien. [...]

All contracts of air carriage nowadays contain provisions limiting or excluding the liability of the carrier in the event of the negligence or otherwise of himself or his servants and agents. Since, in the vast majority of cases, the carrier employs servants and agents for the purpose of carrying out his obligations under his contracts to carry, the injury or damage complained of will invariably be the result of the acts of these servants or agents. The injured party will then have a choice of actions. He may sue the carrier whose vicarious liability is limited by the contract or he may sue the servant or agent who actually caused the damage.

A Dutch aircraft, on its way from Geneva to London, has an accident in Belgium. One of the victims, a Frenchman domiciled in Denmark, had purchased his ticket in Stockholm. Which law applies to the claims of the passenger's widow against the carrier: Dutch, Swiss, English, Belgian, French, Danish, or Swedish law? Of this kind of hypothetic cases, frequently presented in writings on air law, McNAIR says: "Far-fetched though these examples may appear at first sight, they are by no means beyond the realms of possibility."

The granting of rights to operate international air services has been the subject of two different approachs before and after the Second World War. There has been one unchanged question to solve: the problem of reciprocity between the different countries in providing such service, for the normal establishment of international air routes. [...]

The term 'international organization' embraces two quite different kinds of institutions, the 'inter-governmental organization' and the 'non-governmental organization'. [...]

A performance evaluation of CSTC (Cooperative Space Time Coding) with spatially cor-related fading and imperfect channel estimation in Gaussian as well as impulsive noise is presented. Closed form expressions for the pairwise error probability conditioned on the estimated channel gains are derived by assuming the components of the received vector are independent given the estimated channel gains. An expurgated union bound using the limiting before averaging technique given the estimated channel gains is then obtained. Although this assumption is not strictly valid, simulation results show that the bound is accurate in estimating the diversity order as long the channel estimation is not very poor. It is found that CSTC with block fading channels can reduce the frame error rate (FER) relative to SUSTC (Single User Space Time Coding) with quasi-static fading channels, even when the channel gains for each user are strongly correlated and when the channel estimations are very poor. A decision metric for CSTC with spatially correlated fading, imperfect channel estimation, and impulsive mixture Gaussian noise is derived which yields lower FERs than the Gaussian noise decision metric. Simulation results show that the FER performance of CSTC with mixture Gaussian noise outperforms CSTC with Gaussian noise at low SNR. At high SNR, the FER performance of CSTC with Gaussian noise is better than the FER performance of CSTC with mixture Gaussian noise due to the heavy tail of the mixture Gaussian noise.

It is neither mine nor yours, it is both mine and yours. This project is about how a public space is maintained and the intriguing relationship between the contrasts of a private and a public space; the home and a market hall.

Through an examination of neighbourhood conflicts over property boundaries, marriage contracts and defamation, this thesis argues that the dichotomy of public and private is an anachronistic and untenable division in fifteenth-century London. Instead, Londoners were concerned with degrees of visibility and control over space, rather than the maintenance of a strict separation of public and private. The tensions that resulted from shared, often subdivided space could culminate in a legal battle before the assize of nuisance, a secular court where individuals complained that their neighbour’s property encroached upon their own and that, through those encroachments, a neighbour exposed the plaintiff’s household to public scrutiny. Marriage conflicts and defamation suits brought before the ecclesiastical Consistory court were similarly concerned with public knowledge, as both relied on a certain degree of publicity in order to be effective. Witnesses were required to see and hear both the exchange of consent and the exchange of insults. Using these two London courts, this thesis explores how the house and household lives were open to others and how Londoners lived their lives in varying degrees of publicity, rather than in public or private.
