Congress should reform the laws governing material support of terrorism.
Mr. Cole may be correct in contending that Congress needs to clarify the law governing material support of terrorism, but in his effort to reach that goal he should not make a sacrificial lamb out of the MEK, which is at the heart of the peaceful democratic opposition to the mullahs in Iran.
Understanding such processes is of prime importance as it helps predicting the final microstructure governing material properties.
Thus, the governing material property, namely the stress intensity-crack velocity relationship, is necessary input for designing pressurized pipes and vessels and establishing safe operating conditions.
The computations are performed on a fixed Cartesian mesh by casting the equations governing material deformation in Eulerian conservation law form.
With advancements in finite element methods, more accurate determination of the field variables governing material flow in forming processes involving complex interfacial boundary conditions and realistic material constitutive models has become feasible.
MoC converts the governing material-balance partial differential equations into a series of ordinary differential equations, and the resulting solutions are in a form of wave propagation (more specifically, for chemical species and phase saturations) through the system as a function of time and space.
By subdividing the connecting lines into an equal number of segments, a series of intermediate piecewise curves is generated to represent the material metamorphosis between the governing material-features.
While the department's Office of Security agreed to try to locate the materials, the department's National Nuclear Security Administration disagreed, saying international agreements governing the materials contained no requirement for the United States to track them.
By providing incentives without strict rules governing which materials are burned and how they are harvested, governments risk creating a rapacious industry that could gobble up whole forests, critics warn.
