Full textAfter a brief Introduction, Chapter I will examine whether concentration within the U.S. airline industry is a natural phenomenon or an ordinary monopoly/oligopoly resulting from the behaviour of competitors. In concluding that a natural monopoly/oligopoly does not exist, Chapter II will analyse the policy being antitrust enforcement in the industry.
Chapter III will then use the implementation of S 408 of the Federal Aviation Act (FAA) by the Department of Transportation (DOT) as an example of such a policy. Finally, the remaining chapters are dedicated to an analysis of the CRS industry. By using this industry as an example, the writer will suggest that, by removing barriers to entry through aggressive use of S 411 of the FAA, the future may see new entrants enter the market. Emphasis will be placed on the attitude of the DOT in this regard.

Full textThis thesis examines whether the current ballistic missile defense programs of the United States comply with the limitations imposed by the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States.
The thesis begins with a review of the development of ballistic missiles and the systems designed to defend against them. Next an analysis of the ABM Treaty is offered, including its differing interpretations. The Treaty's legal restrictions are then applied to current ABM defensive systems in various stages of research and development. The thesis concludes with an examination of the various lawful possibilities to modify the restrictive provision of the Treaty.

Full textThe writer of this thesis studied the governments of Israel and the United States of America. They share a common means of choosing their political leaders. They are both democracies, in the sense that they hold elections to determine who will serve as a political leader (law makers and enforcers). This thesis compares and contrasts the method of choosing judges in Israel to that of Illinois, which is one of 50 states that make up the United States of America. Israel appoints their judges and Illinois elects their judges. Both approaches of determining who will serve as a judge have negative attributes. Israel’s approach suffers from members of the appointment committee favoring candidates who share their political views. Illinois’ approach suffers from the need to raise large amounts of money to finance judicial campaigns, which can lead to undue influence from donors.

As relações Brasil-Estados Unidos intensificaram-se a partir do século XX, também por causa dos intercâmbios promovidos pelos governos dos dois países, que levaram a uma convergência na forma de ver o mundo em vários momentos daquele período. O objetivo desta Tese é contar a história de parte dessas relações, a partir da segunda metade daquele século, no contexto da Guerra Fria, por meio da formação da United States Information Agency (USIA) em 1953, e sua atuação no Brasil até 1964, ano do golpe militar. A principal fonte para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa foi a consulta aos documentos de arquivos norteamericanos e brasileiros em Washington DC, Nova York e Rio de Janeiro, além de estudos de personagens relevantes no período. A USIA, até então a agência norte-americana com maior representação no exterior, foi exemplo de como os Estados Unidos, mesmo em um dos momentos mais críticos de sua história, escolheu em investir e sofisticar os programas de informação e propaganda em outros países, como instrumento complementar à sua política externa. O caso da USIA no Brasil é emblemático, pela sua capacidade de agir, influenciando diversos e heterogêneos grupos da sociedade brasileira de acordo com o interesse norteamericano, durante um período fundamental na história política brasileira, entre os anos de 1953 e 1964.
Brazil-United States relations had been intensified after the XXth Century, also because of the exchanges promoted by the governments of those countries, that led to a converging way of seeing the world in several times during this period. The purpose of this thesis is tell the history of part of those relations from the second half of that century, in the context of Cold War, through the formation of the United States Information Agency (USIA) in 1953, and its actions in Brazil until 1964, the year of the military coup d'etat. The main source for this thesis development was the consultation of the American and Brazilian archives in Washington DC, New York and Rio de Janeiro, and also of studies from relevant actors of that period. The USIA, until then the American agency with the broadest representation outside the country, was an example of how the United States, even in one of the most critics moments of its History, had made the choice of investing and sophisticating the information and propaganda programs in other countries, as an complementary tool of its Foreign Policy. The case of USIA in Brazil is emblematic, for its capacity of acting and influencing several and heterogeneous groups of the Brazilian society according to the American interest, during a fundamental period of Brazilian History, from 1953 to 1964.

Full textThis thesis analyzes the potential impact of incorporating wireless technologies, specifically an 802.11 mesh layer architecture and 802.16 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, in order to effectively and more efficiently transmit data and create a symbiotic operational picture between Coast Guard Cutters, their boarding teams, Coast Guard Operation Centers, and various external agencies. Two distinct collaborative software programs, Groove Virtual Office and the Naval Postgraduate School's Situational Awareness Agent, are utilized over the Tactical Mesh and OFDM network configurations to improve the Common Operating Picture of involved units within a marine environment to evaluate their potential impact for the Coast Guard. This is being done to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Coast Guard units while they carry out their Law Enforcement and Homeland Security Missions. Through multiple field experiments, including Tactical Network Topology and nuclear component sensing with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, we utilize commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment and software to evaluate their impact on these missions.

Full textThe right to property is debatably the most fundamental American right, and its breadth and strength is more controversial today than ever before. Thus it is more important than ever to understand that its development was not accidental but has had a long and fascinating history. Such a conception of property was theoretically formed by John Locke, recognized by the Founding Fathers in the U.S. Constitution, and developed through case law. The purpose of this thesis is to show the significance of the idea of private property for America and its citizens, the development and history of that idea through past cases, and the implications of the idea and its development of the future of America
