Measurements Of The Average Properties Of A Suspension Of Bubbles Rising In A Vertical Channel, Ashok S. Sangani, Roberto Zenit, Donald L. Koch

Ashok S. Sangani

Experiments were performed in a vertical channel to study the behaviour of a monodisperse bubble suspension for which the dual limit of large Reynolds number and small Weber number was satisfied. Measurements of the liquid-phase velocity fluctuations were obtained with a hot-wire anemometer. The gas volume fraction, bubble velocity, bubble velocity fluctuations and bubble collision rate were measured using a dual impedance probe. Digital image analysis was performed to quantify the small polydispersity of the bubbles as well as the bubble shape.A rapid decrease in bubble velocity with bubble concentration in very dilute suspensions is attributed to the effects of …

On The Fly Bi: Reaching And Teaching From The Reference Desk, Nancy B. Turner, Susan E. Beck

Nancy B. Turner

Today’s reference librarians are constantly faced with the challenge of orienting users to the complex, ever changing world of the electronic library. A well-structured library instruction program is one important approach to the overall goal of educating users. But library instruction sessions cannot and do not reach all students. Studies indicate that students are most receptive to learning research techniques at the point of need, which most often occurs at the reference desk. Although many reference librarians are committed to ‘‘teaching students to fish,’’ they are frequently faced with students whose research needs require in-depth lessons that exceed the time …

A Truism That Isn't True? The Tenth Amendment And Executive War Power, D. A. Jeremy Telman

D. A. Jeremy Telman

The Tenth Amendment is invoked whenever congressional powers threaten the independent law-making power of the several states. In that context, however, the Tenth Amendment does not tell us very much. After all, if powers are not delegated to the federal government, where else would they go but to the states? Accordingly, the Supreme Court has dismissed the Amendment as a truism.

Although the Amendment is only deployed as a rather ineffectual check on congressional authority, it clearly applies to all branches of the federal government. However, according to the theory of inherent executive authority, certain powers are unique to the …

Revamping Veil Piercing For All Limited Liability Entities: Forcing The Common Law Doctrine Into The Statutory Age, Rebecca J. Huss

Rebecca J. Huss

This article proposes that legislatures adopt a statutory provision codifying the best aspects of the veil piercing doctrine. The article beings with a brief history and description of the new limited liability entities and discusses some of the basic theories supporting limited liability. A genearl overview of the veil piercing doctrine and its likely application to these new entities follows. Finally this paper argues that the time is ripe to explore and implement ideas for accomplishing the goals of veil piercing in a more consistent manner.

The Glass Bead Game, David D. Nolte

David D Nolte

Our lives are filled with images. Everyday we see signals, read signs, and learn symbols.We find our way with maps, look for news and bargains in newspapers, calculate ourbills and taxes. We turn printed music into wonderful sounds, often without consciouseffort. Icons fill our churches, synagogues and mosques, dot our computer screens, andare sprawled on billboards, on clothing and advertisement pages. Architecture and artconspire to fill our views with meaningful shapes and form. Pictures capture an instant intime, while movies and video entertain us with visual motion. We live in a visual world,full of information transmitted by light.

The Age Of Entanglement

David D Nolte

Quantum mechanics is a venerable field of study. The year 2000 marked the 100th anniversary of theoriginal quantum hypothesis proposed by Max Planck in November of 1900. Few current fields in physicsor engineering are as old as quantum mechanics. It predates relativity, both special and general. It predatesnuclear and particle physics. Quantum mechanics even predates universal acceptance of the molecularhypothesis, that is, that all matter is made up of individual molecules in thermal motion. It may be hard tobelieve, but this happened only after Einstein's paper on Brownian motion was published in his miracleyear 1905.

Teaching Legal Analysis Using A Pluralistic Model Of Law, Wilson R. Huhn

Wilson R. Huhn

The purpose of this Article is to describe a pluralistic model of reasoning that may be used to teach the skills of legal analysis. There are different ways to categorize legal arguments. Perhaps the most common method is to identify different legal arguments with specific schools of jurisprudence or moral philosophy. This is the standard approach followed by leading scholars such as Lon Fuller. In a classic article, Fuller illustrated how a murder case could be analyzed utilizing jurisprudential frameworks such as positivism, natural law, social contract, practical wisdom, and legal realism. Another example of this method of characterizing legal …

Playing “Sherlock Holmes”: Enhancing Students’ Understanding Of Prejudice And Stereotyping, Ellen N. Junn, L. Grier, D. Behrens

Ellen N. Junn

A very simple, innovative classroom exercise designed to heighten students' understanding of stereotyping and prejudice is described. Students' evaluation of the exercise was very positive. Students reported greater awareness and understanding of their own and others’ stereotypes and prejudice and of the negative effects of prejudice, with females more than males reporting enhanced awareness of others’ stereotyping. Students also rated the exercise as very enjoyable. There was a trend among Non-White more than White students to report that the exercise helped show them how to reduce stereotypes and more Non-White than White students offered solutions for reducing prejudice that involved …

Storytelling, Folktales And The Comic Book Format, Gail De Vos

Gail de Vos

The reading process in comics is an extension of text. In text alone the process of reading involves word-to-image conversion. Comics accelerate that by providing the image. When properly executed, it goes beyond conversion and speed and becomes a seamless whole. In every sense, this misnamed form of reading is entitled to be regarded as literature because the images are employed as a language. There is a recognizable relationship to the iconography and pictographs of oriental writing. When this language is employed as a conveyance of ideas and information, it separates itself from mindless visual entertainment. This makes comics a …

New Anti-Merger Theories: A Critique, Edward J. Lopez

Edward J. Lopez

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate these new anti-merger instruments on the basis of economic theory and evidence. I first discuss how the economics of antitrust has developed over the years, with the intention of characterizing the intellectual inheritance of 1990s' antitrust regulators. Within this context, I then discuss each anti-merger instrument, how it has been applied in specific cases, and how it accords with underlying economic science. On the basis of these arguments, antitrust regulators should pause and reconsider the theoretical and empirical bases of applying unilateral effects and innovation markets to merger investigations.
