Mission Impossible? International Law and the Changing Character of War
A a participant in the conference “International Law and the Changing Character of War,” in this article I hope to present and support the thesis reflected in the title to this essay, i.e., that the use and abuse of international law and the changing character of war have combined to place major obstacles in the way of the successful prosecution of armed conflict by US forces and their allies. In support of this thesis, I shall be drawing extensively on examples arising out of “the changing character of weapon systems” panel, but I shall also be exploring other dimensions of “the changing character of war” to buttress this support.
Computer Network Attacks by Terrorists: Some Legal Dimensions
International terrorism is not a new phenomenon, and it is a topic that has been subjected to substantial scholarly analysis. The prospect of computer network attacks by terrorists, however, poses new challenges to the law and legal institutions applicable to the efforts of law enforcement officials and others to prevent and punish acts of international terrorism. In this article Professor Murphy explores the nature of these challenges, as well as steps that have been taken to meet them, and sets forth some concluding observations as to possible future developments.
Glycogen phosphorylase in lobster hepatopancreas: action of proteases on the enzyme
Abstract 1. 1. In lobster hepatopancreas, extracellular protreases cause the inactivation of glycogen phosphorylase. 2. 2. The proteolysis of glycogen phosphorylase purified from rabbit muscle by these proteases has been shown by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 3. 3. A cell isolation technique has allowed us to remove proteases of extracellular digestion and to measure glycogen phosphorylase activity in lobster hepatopancreas. 4. 4. The glycogen phosphorylase activity seems to be mainly associated with R cells while it could not be detected in B cells.
