Of Flutes, Oboes And The As If World Of Evidence Law, Richard O. Lempert
Of Flutes, Oboes And The As If World Of Evidence Law, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
Reading Allen's article, I am reminded of a cold war parable I heard during the 1960s. It concerned a flute and an oboe who joined an orchestra one year and immediately set to quarrelling. The flute was distressed because whenever it was playing at its lyrical best the oboe would enter. drowning it out. The oboe was affronted because its deepest, most sonorous passages were invariably ruined by the high-pitched flute butting in. When the orchestra split up for the summer and these quarrelsome instruments went their separate ways, the flute, as it angrily contemplated the oboe, found itself stretching …

A performance characteristic of M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) receivers is the variance of the phase error between the received and recovered signal carriers. For binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) loops utilizing integrate and dump filters and operating in the linear region, closed-form solutions for this variance exist [1], [2]. In this paper the variance is found by numerical methods for M > 4. For verification and to investigate operation in the nonlinear region, computer simulation and hardware modeling were used [3].

Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, Robert W. Slawson
Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, Robert W. Slawson
Articles
We present 119 position angle and separation measures of 86 double stars observed by way of speckle interferometry with the University of Toronto Southern Observatory 60 cm telescope at Las Campanas, Chile. Speckle interferograms are recorded with a bare (unintensified) front-illuminated CCD in a fast subarray-readout mode. Position angles and separations are determined by a weighted least-squares fitting algorithm applied to the binary power spectra, and the 180-degree ambiguity in the position angle inherent in this approach is resolved by bispectral analysis. In this configuration the 60 cm telescope exhibits near-diffraction-limited performance. Initial results indicate that our separation measures have …

Dedication To Professor Ralph W. Johnson, David H. Getches
Dedication To Professor Ralph W. Johnson, David H. Getches
Articles
This Indian law symposium issue of the Washington Law Review was inspired by the work of Professor Ralph W. Johnson, whose teaching and personal commitment to the field have motivated hundreds, if not thousands, of law students. The decision of the Editorial Board to dedicate the symposium to him might have been made by as many as thirty classes that have passed through the University of Washington School of Law. Those students have been introduced to and moved by Professor Johnson's elucidation of a field that is at once intellectually challenging and morally significant. Johnson's alumni have spread over the …
Indian Tribes And The Legal System, Ralph W. Johnson
Indian Tribes And The Legal System, Ralph W. Johnson
Articles
This article surveys the past and present role of lawyers in the field of Indian law, from the absence of attorneys in early treaty negotiations through the formative role lawyers played in developing the federal trust relationship, to their modem role as "legal warriors" for the increasingly independent, autonomous tribes of today. To understand all the changes now occurring in Indian law, a review of the background is helpful. What follows is a synopsis of the significant events in Indian history, focusing on how the U.S. government initially treated Indians and the role the legal profession played in this treatment.
Gravity And Bf Theory Defined In Bounded Regions, V. Husain, Seth Major
Gravity And Bf Theory Defined In Bounded Regions, V. Husain, Seth Major
Articles
We study Einstein gravity in a finite spatial region. By requiring a well-defined variational principle, we identify all local boundary conditions, derive surface observables, and compute their algebra. The observables arise as induced surface terms, which contribute to a non-vanishing Hamiltonian. Unlike the asymptotically flat case, we find that there are an infinite number of surface observables. We give a similar analysis for SU(2) BF theory.

Testing Testing, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
Last year, Congress passed the Ryan White Care Act Amendments of 1996. The amendments authorize ten million dollars for each fiscal year from 1996 through 2000 for counseling pregnant women on HIV disease, for "outreach efforts to pregnant women at high risk of HN who are not currently receiving prenatal care," and for voluntary testing for pregnant women. The amendments compromise a central question: whether prenatal and neonatal AIDS testing should be compelled. The compromise is complex. The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is instructed to establish a system for states to use to discover and …

After The Dna Wars: Skirmishing With Nrc Ii, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
This article traces some of the controversies surrounding DNA evidence and argues that although many have been laid to rest by scientific developments confirmed in the National Research Council's second DNA report, there remain several problems which are likely to lead to continued questioning of standard ways prosecutors present DNA evidence. Although much about the report is to be commended, it falls short in several ways, the most important of which is in its support for presenting random match probabilities independent of plausible error rates. The article argues that although one can sympathize with the NRC committee's decision as an …
On The Stark Broadening Parameters Of The Two Nii Spectral Lines Of The 3d-4f Transition, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize
On The Stark Broadening Parameters Of The Two Nii Spectral Lines Of The 3d-4f Transition, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize
Articles
Stark parameters (width and shift) of two singly ionized nitrogen spectral lines, that belong to 3d-4f transition have been measured in a linear pulsed, low pressure, arc discharge in the nitrogen-oxygen plasma at a 54000 K electron temperature and at a 2.8×10 23 m−3 electron density. The measured values have been compared to the existing experimental and calculated data

Playing The "Culture Card": Trials In A Mutli-Cultural Democracy, Richard O. Lempert
Playing The "Culture Card": Trials In A Mutli-Cultural Democracy, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
As I write, the racial divide in America is said to be greater than at any time in the past 25 years.' Two events are blamed: the O.J. Simpson criminal trial and the Louis Farrakan led "Million Man March." That these events should exacerbate racial division is extraordinary. The Farrakan led march brought together between 400,000 and 800,000 black males to pledge that they would take the kind of responsibility for their actions and their families that white Americans have long argued they should take. The O.J. Simpson trial was more a "who done it" than a racial morality play. …

U.S. International Treatment Of Financial Derivatives, Reuven Avi-Yonah, Linda Swartz
Articles
The current proposals to substitute consumption for income as the principal U.S. tax base have already been the topic of considerable commentary in these pages. However, one issue has received relatively little attention in the discussion of the various reform proposals: What potential complications are likely to arise if a single major player in the world's economy unilaterally adopts radical tax reform? The global economy is becoming more and more unified, with multinational corporations dominating world trade and trillions of dollars in portfolio investment flowing across national boundaries. In this economy, what would be the consequences if a single country, …
Evidence For The Specific Status Of The Honduran Lizards Formerly Referred To Ctenosaura Palearis (Reptilia: Squamata: Iguanidae), Larry Buckley, Ralph Axtell
Evidence For The Specific Status Of The Honduran Lizards Formerly Referred To Ctenosaura Palearis (Reptilia: Squamata: Iguanidae), Larry Buckley, Ralph Axtell
Articles
Ctenosaura melanosterna, a new species of spiny-tailed iguana, is described from the Aguan Valley and the Cayos Cochinos in Honduras. Its closest phylogenetic affinities are with C. palearis from the Motagua Valley in Guatemala with which it has previously been considered conspecific. Previous work on relationships within Ctenosaura presented evidence of a clade consisting of C. palearis (including the species described herein), C. bakeri, and C. oedirhina (de Queiroz, 1987a, 1987b; Kohler, 1995c). Data presented here adds additional support for this clade. Alternative biogeographic scenarios are discussed, with the conclusion that the current range of these species of Ctenosaura in …
To End Deferral As We Know It: Simplification Potential Of Check-The-Box, Reuven Avi-Yonah
To End Deferral As We Know It: Simplification Potential Of Check-The-Box, Reuven Avi-Yonah
Articles
On December 17, 1996, the Treasury Department issued final regulations under section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code implementing the regime dubbed "check-the-box," under which taxpayers can elect to be treated as corporations or as passthrough entities for U.S. tax purposes. The purpose of this article is to argue that the adoption of these regulations affords a momentous opportunity for Congress to achieve significant simplification of the notoriously complex U.S. international tax rules. Fundamentally, the adoption of check-the- box means that U.S. taxpayers will be able to elect whether or not their foreign-source active income will enjoy deferral from current …
