Updates are a crucial component of any database programming language. Even the simplest database transactions, such as withdrawal from a bank account, require updates. Unfortunately, updates are not accounted for by the classical Horn semantics of logic programs and deductive databases, which limits their usefulness in real-world applications.

Political Research Quarterly, 2016
Many developing countries have recently increased the number of their sub-national administrative units. Existing literature explains this phenomenon by suggesting that because new units serve as patronage to an area, they can help a leader meet local demand for state resources or divide opposition elites.

The changing state of tolerance and tolerance in changing states
2019This three-article dissertation explores the determinants of political tolerance by examining understudied groups and settings, emphasizing in each case how context is a key driver of the observed attitudes. First, drawing on an original survey of American Muslims, I theorize and test how the considerations motivating intolerance differ between the ...

Sovereignty is one of the defining elements of statehood (Grewe 2000: 166–7). It renders the state operational — both domestically and internationally. Domestically, the state holds the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force and is legitimized and supported by the people (Weber 1978a: 56; Held et al. 2003: 45).

If some ice cubes from a refrigerator are put in a beaker of water and the mixture stirred, the temperature will be 0°C. If the beaker is now put on a tripod and heated very gently with a bunsen burner it will be found that the temperature remains at 0°C until all the ice has melted.

Thermodynamics is introduced as a quantitative method of characterizing the changes of state of systems. The topic is subdivided in three categories. Problems dealing with thermal state variables and equations of state are found in Sect. 3.2, along with a compact summary of essential theory.
