The Limits Of Judicial Review In Constitutional Adjudication, Wallace M. Rudolph, Janet L. Rudolph

Nebraska Law Review

Constitutional adjudication presently requires that in order for a party to challenge a governmental act he must claim that the act has violated his constitutional rights. The purpose of this article is to show that such a requirement undermines constitutional limits on governmental actions and is inconsistent with a proper interpretation of the Constitution.

G84-735 State And Local Government Budgets In Nebraska, A.L. (Roy) Frederick, Michael Lundeen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The last in a series of nine NebGuides on state funding and sources, this publication discusses state and local subdivision budget preparation and implementation.

All levels of government must plan for the future, making decisions about what services to provide and how to pay for them. This process, called budgeting, is often difficult because "worthy causes" exceed available funds.

According to Nebraska law, both the state government and local government subdivisions must establish annual operating budgets. Moreover, certain procedures must be followed in the development of these budgets. The budgeting process is precisely defined to ensure that citizens have an …

G84-730 Financing Social Services In Nebraska (Revised December 1992), A.L. (Roy) Frederick

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This is one of a series of NebGuides on financing state and local government. This publication focuses on social services.

Social services programs in Nebraska provide public assistance to individuals who, for reasons beyond their control, are unable to support themselves. Public assistance programs are of two broad types. The first type provides cash assistance directly to those who qualify. All other programs involve payments to vendors (providers) who, in turn, provide needed services.

I.V. Withdrawal: The Severance Of Medicine's Or Society's Umbilical Cord? Barber V. Superior Court Of Los Angeles County, 137 Cal. App. 3d 1006, 195 Cal. Rptr. 484 (1983), J. P. Chrisman

Nebraska Law Review

This article addresses the propriety of the Barber v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County decision and its ramifications. The purposes of the article are twofold. First, I argue in Part II that, contrary to the Barber court's reasoning, intravenous feeding and hydration are not treatments but rather sustenance; therefore, they cannot be discontinued simply because a patient is incurably comatose. The second, and major, purpose (in Part III) is to recommend methods for dealing with the problems inherently associated with the care of incurably comatose patients.

History Of Paleontological Excavations, 1904 - 1925, Robert M. Hunt

United States National Park Service: Publications

The great bone bed at Agate has caught the Imagination and attention of scientists and the public since the significance of the deposit was first recognized by the paleontologist Olaf Peterson in 1904. August 1984 is the 80th anniversary of this discovery, and 1985 will mark an equally significant event: the centennial of James Cook's Initial discovery of bones at the Agate hills near hrs ranch In the valley of the Niobrara River In 1885.

Enteric Redmouth Disease Of Salmonids, G. L. Bullock

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Enteric redmouth disease (ERM) is a systemic bacterial infection of fishes, but is principally known for its occurrence in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. The disease was first reported in the 1950's by Rucker (1966), and in recognition of that fact, the causal organism was named Yersinia ruckeri by Ewing et al. (1978). Although Wagner and Perkins (1952) described a bacterial disease that produced a red-mouth condition in rainbow trout in California and Colorado, it was caused by a different bacterium; they isolated Pseudomonas hydrophila rather than Y. ruckeri.

Neuropsychological Performance Of Sexual Assaulters And Pedophiles, Monte L. Scott, James K. Cole, Stephen E. Mckay, Charles J. Golden, Kenneth R. Liggett

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Persons who had been arrested for sexual assault were administered the Luria- Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery and the results compared to a group of normal controls. The sexual assaulters performed significantly worse on 7 of the 14 scales of the battery. The data were then broken down into three groups: (1) those who had forcibly assaulted postpubescent victims, (2) those subjects who had sexually molested a prepubeseent child, and (3) normal controls. A discriminant analysis correctly classified 68% of the subjects on the basis of their neuropsychological performance alone.

Protein Synthesis In Rabbit Reticulocytes: A Study Of The Mechanism Of Action Of The Protein Factor Rf That Reverses Protein Synthesis Inhibition In Heme-Deficient Reticulocyte Lysates, M. Grace, M. Bagchi, F. Ahmad, T. Yeager, C. Olson, I. Chakravarty, N. Nasrin, A. Banerjee, N. K. Gupta

Department of Chemistry: Faculty Publications

A eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2)-ancillary protein factor Co-eIF-2 promotes displacement of GDP from eIF-2GDP and facilitates ternary complex (Met-tRNA_f• eIF-2-GTP) formation in the presence of Mg²⁺. Heme-regulated protein synthesis inhibitor, HRI, phosphorylates the α-subunit of eIF-2 and thus inhibits ternary complex formation as Co-eIF•2 does not displace GDP from eIF-2α(P)•GDP. RF, a high molecular weight cell supernatant factor, reverses protein synthesis inhibition in heme-deficient reticulocyte lysates and also reverses HRI inhibition of ternary complex formation. RF contains Co-eIF•2 activity. In addition, an active RF preparation contains excess α-subunit of eIF-2 in the free and unphosphorylated …

Some Plant Leaves Have Orientation-Dependent Epr And Nmr Spectra, Douglas C. Mccain, Ted C. Selig, University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign, John L. Markey

Department of Chemistry: Faculty Publications

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectra of leaves from 50 plant species were obtained at a spectrometer frequency of 470 MHz. Water present in leaf samples gives rise to characteristic spectral patterns. Most species show only one broad ¹H NMR peak; however, the leaves of some plants display complex, orientation-dependent spectra in which a common three-line pattern is discerned. The pattern varies with the angle between the leaf surface and the external magnetic field. Proton relaxation measurements show the presence of at least two water compartments in the leaves. The compartments are responsible for different components …

Taxonomy Of North American Fish Eimeriidae, Steve J. Upton, David W. Reduker, William L. Current, Donald W. Duszynski

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Taxonomic descriptions, line drawings, and references are given for the 30 named and 5 unnamed species of North American fish Eimeriidae. In addition, a key was developed based on available morphologic data to distinguish between similar species. Taxa are divided into two genera: Eimeria (27 species) which are tetrasporocystic with dizoic, nonbivalved sporocysts, and Goussia,/i> (3 species) which are tetrasporocystic with dizoic, bivalved sporocysts that lack Stieda bodies and have sporocyst walls composed of two longitudinal valves.
