Harmony In The Health Care Industry At Last? American Hospital Association V. National Labor Relations Board, 111 S. Ct. 1539 (1991), Darin Mackender

Nebraska Law Review

In American Hospital Association v. NLRB the United States Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling which had enjoined the National Labor Relations Board from enforcing a substantive rule promulgated under the Administrative Procedure Act's rulemaking procedure. This Note analyzes the significance the Supreme Court's decision will have on the seventeen-year dispute between organized labor and the health care industry over appropriate bargaining units in the health care industry. Part II notes the historical background which was the impetus for the promulgation of the rule. Part III analyzes the legal grounds on which the rule was opposed by the American …

Masson V. New Yorker Magazine, Inc., 111 S. Ct. 2419 (1991): Journalists Score Hollow Victory In Close Encounter Of The Word Kind—And You Can [Mis]Quote Me On That, Steven M. Thomas

Nebraska Law Review

The direct quotation is a narrative device treasured much by writers and readers alike. But the quoted passages that appear in print are not always carbon copies of the words actually spoken. Writers and reporters—for a number of reasons, some better than others—have been known to misquote those who feed them their steady diet of news. When writers attribute to newsmakers damning words they did not utter, the cry of libel can sound. During the 1991 term, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of errant quotations in Masson v. New Yorker Magazine, Inc. The plaintiff in Masson did not contend …

The Americanization Of Ritual Culture: The ‘Core Codes’ In American Culture And The Seductive Character Of American ‘Fun.’, Mary Jo Deegan, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Modern life in the USA is driven by four “core codes” of oppression and repression which structure a wide range of cultural patterns, from fleeting, face-to-face interactions to enduring, large scale social institutions. The four codes (sex, class, bureaucratization, and the commodification of time) also give recognizable contours to modern American cultural rituals (participatory as well as media-constructed) and contribute to the seductive character of “fun” which these rituals typically generate. American “fun” provides short-lived, incomplete escapes from mundane routine, and simultaneously strengthens and reproduces the core oppression and repressions of everyday life.

American “fun” provides its consumers with ritual …

A Novel Transposon Trap For Mycobacteria: Isolation And Characterization Of Is1096, Jeffrey D. Cirillo, Raul G. Barletta, Barry R. Bloom, William R. Jacobs Jr.

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In the course of developing strategies to obtain a mutation in the aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (asd) gene of Mycobacterium smegmatis, an efficient transposon trap was constructed which may be generally useful for the identification of transposable elements in mycobacteria. A DNA fragment containing the asd gene was replaced with an aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene (aph) to generate a Δasd::aph allele. Attempts to replace the wild-type asd gene with the Δasd::aph allele were unsuccessful, suggesting that this deletion was lethal to the growth of M. smegmatis. The plasmid, pYUB215, which …

Fabricating Magnetic Co-Ni-C Thin-Film Alloys By Organometallic Chemical Vapor Deposition, Yoon-Gi Kim, Dongjin Byun, C. Hutchings, Peter A. Dowben, H. Hejase, K. Schröder

Peter Dowben Publications

We have deposited Co_xNi_y^-C films with a variety of compositions to verify dependence of the saturation magnetization on the composition. These experiments suggest that we can produce Co_xNi_y^-C films with a variety of magnetic properties. The Co_xNi_y^-C films were fabricated by ultraviolet decomposition of cobaltocene and nickelocene. We demonstrated that the photolytic decomposition of these metallocenes produces cyclopentadienyl (C₅H₅) species, consistent with recent studies of the energetics of the ligand metal bonds.

Sputtering Pressure Effect On Microstructure Of Surface And Interface, And On Coercivity Of Co/Pt Multilayers, Ping He, William A. Mcgahan, S. Nafis, John A. Woollam, Z.S. Shan, Sy_Hwang Liou, F. Sequeda, T. Mcdaniel, H. Do

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications

Thin Co/Pt multilayers were prepared on Si and glass substrates by sputtering with Ar pressures ranging from 2.5 to 15 mTorr. The bilayer structure of the samples was Co(3 Å)/Pt(15 Å)×17, and all samples had the easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the sample surface as determined with a SQUID magnetometer. All samples retained the layered structure, as revealed by low-angle x-ray diffraction. In addition, diffraction peaks due to the formation of Co-Pt compounds (presumably at the interfaces between Co and Pt) were identified. The coercivity of samples changed from about 400 Oe for films deposited at low Ar sputtering …

Studies Of Domain Dynamics In Amorphous Dy/Fe Multilayers, Roger D. Kirby, J.X. Shen, Z.S. Shan, David J. Sellmyer

Roger Kirby Publications

Compositionally-modulated Dy/Fe films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. For this series of samples, the Dy thickness was fixed at 5 Å, while the Fe thickness was varied from 4 to 6 Å. To study the magnetization reversal, the samples were first saturated. The magnetic field was then reversed to a value near the coercive field, and the Kerr rotation was measured as a function of time after reversal. We interpret our results in terms of the model of domain reversal first described by Fatuzzo for ferroelectrics. For some Fe thicknesses, we found that the reversal process …

Temperature And Layer-Thickness Dependencies Of Kerr Rotation In Dy/Co Multilayers, Z.S. Shan, J.X. Shen, Roger D. Kirby, Sy_Hwang Liou, David J. Sellmyer

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications

Amorphous Dy/Co multilayers with the individual layer thickness between 4 and 10 Å in steps of 0.5 to 1 Å were studied systematically over the temperature range 100–300 K. The Kerr rotation increases as temperature decreases, or as Co content increases and the coercivity increases both in the low temperature region and in the vicinity of the compensation point. These characteristics were analyzed in terms of simple models of the magnetic structure and magnetization reversal.

A Conservation Tillage Educational Program, Elbert C. Dickey, Paul J. Jasa, David P. Shelton

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

An educational program was conducted to enhance the adoption of conservation tillage practices in targeted areas to reduce soil erosion and on-farm fuel use. Traditional extension methods such as meetings, field days, demonstrations, and plots were used extensively. In addition, the following nontraditional educational methods were used to achieve project objectives: targeting high priority areas, local program guidance committees, surveys to evaluate perceptions and use of conservation tillage, employment of extension assistants to work in the target areas, use of a rainfall simulator to demonstrate the effectiveness of residue cover in reducing erosion, and small group or "coffee shop" meetings …

Conference Summary And A Look To The Future, James E. Miller

Eastern Wildlife Damage Control Conference: 5th (1991)

It is with mixed feelings that I agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to accept this challenge of trying to summarize the implications of this Fifth Eastern Wildlife Damage Control Conference. Even though it has been over 8 years ago, I still remember burning the midnight oil and working in the predawn hours on the last eve of the First Eastern Conference trying to prepare closing remarks for use by my former Deputy Administrator, Merrill L. "Pete" Petoskey. In fact, even though some of the guard has changed, at least one of the professionals who helped provide their insight as we prepared those …

Area Conservation Tillage Meetings-A Successful Educational Program, Elbert C. Dickey, Paul J. Jasa, David P. Shelton, Robert Grisso, Keith Glewen

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Interest in conservation tillage began to increase in the early 1980s, and farmers wanted information on how to adopt and manage various tillage and planting systems. Area conservation tillage meetings were developed by the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension to provide the needed information on a regional basis. Local extension agents and Soil Conservation Service personnel helped extension specialists determine program content. The multidisciplinary meetings included farmer presentations and allowed space and time for commercial exhibits. About 80% of respondents to meeting evaluations indicated they planned to change their tillage practices as a result of the information presented.

Intracellular Ph Effects In Lactic Acid Bacteria, Nancy L. Nannen, Robert W. Hutkins

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

The objectives of this research were to determine the effect of lactic acid and low pH on the intracellular pH in three species of lactic acid bacteria. A pH gradient (intracellular pH minus the extracellular pH) of .9 to 1.4 pH units was achieved by several strains of lactic acid bacteria, including Streptococcus thermophilus 19258 and 573, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis C2, and Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris HP during log phase of growth in various media. A noticeable decline of the pH gradient occurred at an internal pH of 5.5 to 6.0. In late stationary phase, the pH gradient was …

Proton-Translocating Adenosine Triphosphatase Activity In Lactic Acid Bacteria, Nancy L. Nannen, Robert W. Hutkins

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Streptococcus thermophilus 19258 and 573, Luctococcus luctis ssp. lucris C2, Lactococcus luctis ssp. cremoris HP, and Luctobucillus cusei 685 were grown in various media and assayed for protontranslocating ATPase (H⁺-ATPase) activity. The H⁺-ATPase was extracted from the membrane fractions of protoplasted cells using a French pressure cell, and activity was measured by the release of inorganic phosphate from ATP. The pH optima for the H⁺-ATPase, assayed in vitro, were 7.5 for S. thermophilus and Lactococcus luctis ssp. cremoris HP and 5.0 for Lactobacillus casei 685. In contrast, for cells grown in batch …

Actinobacillus Pleuropneumoniae-Induced Thymic Lesions In Mice And Pigs, D.L. Stine, M.J. Huether, Rodney A. Moxley, Subramaniam Srikumaran

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Actinobacillus pkuropneumoniae produces several hemolysins/cytotoxins that may be important in the pathogenesis of acute lesions. Little is known, however, about the role of these virulence factors in chronic disease or the carrier state. We investigated the effects of live bacterial infection and transthoracic injection of a sterile culture supernatant on primary lymphoid organs and lymphocyte populations. Transthoracic inoculation of mice or intranasal inoculation of pigs with virulent A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1 and 7 induced thymic cortical lymphoid necrosis. These lesions were reproduced in mice by transthoracic injection of a concentrated sterile culture supernatant. The cytotoxic effect of this culture supernatant …

Review Of Sustainable Agriculture In Temperate Zones, Charles A. Francis, Cornelia Butler Flora, And Larry D. King, Eds., David R. Lighthall

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

The editors of Sustainable Agriculture in Temperate Zones have succeeded in compiling the diverse range of issues orbiting the expansive and somewhat nebulous concept of sustainable agriculture. The book contains well-written chapters by established experts drawn primarily from the mainstream sustainable agriculture movement within US land grant universities. The strength of the book is the authors' cogent reviews of leading edge research in their respective fields of expertise. These areas include soil chemistry and biology, plant breeding, crop rotations and legumes, pest management, pasture management, conversion to sustainable systems, production economics, rural development, and agricultural policy. Added to this eclectic …

Review Of Harry Kirke Wolfe: Pioneer In Psychology, By Ludy T. Benjamin, Jr., Daniel Bernstein

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

While teaching at Nebraska Wesleyan University, Ludy Benjamin discovered that the first psychology professor at the University of Nebraska gained a place in the history of experimental psychology in the United States. Harry K. Wolfe received a doctorate from the University of Leipzig, where he studied with Wilhelm Wundt (one of the founders of experimental psychology). In 1889 Wolfe established the first undergraduate psychology laboratory in the United States. Benjamin has written this interesting and readable book about a great teacher. The story includes the saga of academic life at a fledgling public university, one man's experience of the debate …

Review Of Groundwater Levels In Nebraska, 1989, By Michael J. Ellis, Gregory V. Steele, And Perry B. Wigley, M. Stanley Dart

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Groundwater Levels in Nebraska, 1989, continues the excellent record of Nebraska Water Survey Papers produced by the Conservation and Survey Division and the US Geological Survey. The authors provide full color cartographic displays that are accurate as well as highly readable. Some of the maps treat the state of Nebraska for summary purposes. However, the greater value is found in the nine subregional large scale maps that cover the entire state in detail. Each map clearly displays the areas of significant water-level change that has occurred from the period of first reliable record through 1989. For Nebraskans, it should be …

A Track Physics Model Of Radiation Action, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

A model of radiation action by energetic heavy ions, inspired by a study of particle tracks in electron sensitive emulsion, has been successfully applied to many radiation effects in condensed matter, yielding quantitative descriptions and occasional predictions. Radiation effects are attributed primarily to secondary electrons. Each detector is imagined to be a collection of targets whose radiosensitivity is represented parametrically. We avoid a mechanistic description of detector response so as to retain the global character of the model. Attention is focused on the structure of particle tracks, on the radial deposition of dose about an ion’s path by “δ-rays,” and …
