Speed Calculations And The Expert Witness, David I. Cook

Nebraska Law Review

There has been a recent increase in the use of expert witness testimony relating to speeds of vehicles involved in collisions. This has resulted in a need for jurists and lawyers to become increasingly informed of the fundamental physical laws which form the basis of this testimony. The purpose in writing this paper is to discuss in a legal context the most commonly used physical laws in order to clarify an area which has become clouded by the use of incomplete data and erroneous hypotheses. After a consideration of the Nebraska position, the physical laws used in establishing speed on …

Property Management And Estate Planning For Nebraska Minors, Henry M. Grether Jr., John M. Gradwohl

Nebraska Law Review

Present tax laws provide an added stimulus for the traditional benevolence which has brought minors into an economic ownership of wealth. It has become increasingly important for estate planners to consider all family members, adults and minors, present and future, and their estates, to achieve a maximum enjoyment of property for the entire family. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the available planning methods under Nebraska law for dealing with the vexatious problems which arise from ownership of wealth by minors. This includes a consideration of the nature and extent of a minor's disability to deal with his …

Are Workmen's Compensation Proceedings Precluded In Nebraska Where Prior Payments Were Received Under Another State's Act?, Ronald L. Sluyter

Nebraska Law Review

The question whether an employee is precluded from bringing a workmen's compensation action in one state because he has previously received payments under another state's statute arises where an injury or an employment relationship has ties with two or more states. This is a common problem because of existing differences in the various state compensation acts, and it is intensified because of increasing multistate business activities. The problem most frequently presented to the courts is whether the forum state will award second payments under its act when it authorizes a greater amount of compensation than the first state. Other facets …

Workmen’S Compensation—Disfigurement Awards Under The Nebraska Statutes—Wengler V. Grosshans Lumber Co. (Neb. 1962), William D. Kuester

Nebraska Law Review

Nebraska has no statute specifically covering the problem of disfigurement awards. Forty other jurisdictions have statutes mentioning and providing for disfigurement, either generally or specifically, in many instances fixing maximums on awards that may be given. Some of these statutes are premised on the theory that disfigurement impairs the earning capacity of the injured workman and should, to that extent, be compensable, while others make the term "disfigurement" a "catch-all" for all injuries not specifically covered by the schedules. In spite of the misleading dictum, one thing appears certain after the Wengler decision. A claimant who receives a disfigurement injury …

A Middle Miocene Rhinoceros Quarry In Morrill County, Nebraska (With Notes On Hip Disease In Diceratherium), Robert M. Stecher, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Extensive deposits of fossil rhinoceros bones have been excavated from University of Nebraska State Museum collecting localities Mo-113, -114, -115, -116, and -118 some 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 miles north of Bridgeport, Morrill County, Nebraska. The fossils were associated with other faunal elements in the lower portion of the Marsland formation (middle Miocene) of the Hemingford group. The rhinoceros is considered to be Diceratherium niobrarensis Peterson, geologic variety. A pathologic right femur of D. niobrarensis provides evidence of hip disease in the medial Miocene rhinoceroses.

Early Records Of Some Mammals From Nebraska, J. Knox Jones Jr.

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Ten species of Recent mammals that formerly occurred in Nebraska have been extirpated there by European man. Surprisingly few specimens of the species concerned are preserved in museum collections. Perusal of a representative segment of the historical literature pertaining to Nebraska has revealed records of occurrence of most of the extirpated species that provide a basis for estimating the former distribution of each in the State.

Evaluation Of Sires Available Through Planned Mating, L. Dale Van Vleck, C. R. Henderson, H. W. Carter

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

There is some concern that methods of sire evaluation which utilize contemporary stablemate averages can be biased by differential genetic merit of the mates of these sires. A little reflection, however, indicates that even if the cows to which some sires are mated are more highly selected than the mates of other sires, this differential merit will not affect seriously the ranking of sires according to the evaluation of their progeny. Until the present, data have not been readily available with which to study the seriousness of this problem. The present study does not deal with the question generally, but …

Sire Evaluation From Five-Month Daughter Records, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The chief advantages of sire evaluation based on five-month daughter records are: 1. Genetic progress is inversely proportional to the turnover rate in testing bulls so that if this interval is shortened by 10%, the rate of genetic progress will be increased by 11%. The turnover period can be shortened with the use of 5-month records from about 50 months to 45 months—a decrease of 10% in time. 2. Genetic progress is also related to how many top bulls are saved and how many poor ones are culled out of all those sampled. In other words, the more bulls tested …

Malic Dehydrogenase Activity At 101 C Under Hydrostatic Pressure, Richard Y. Morita, Roger D. Haight

Papers in Microbiology

MORITA, RICHARD Y. (University of Nebraska, Lincoln) AND ROGER D. HAIGHT. Malic dehydrogenase activitv at 101 C under hydrostatic pressure. J. Bacteriol. 83:1341-1346. 1962.-No malic dehydrogenase activity was found to occur at 101 C at various hydrostatic pressures from 1 to 700 atm. However, activity was demonstrated with hydrostatic pressures above 700 atm, with optimal activity at 1,300 atm at the same temperature. Explanation of the data is based upon thermal denaturation of the enzyme, which involves a molecular volume increase of the enzyme. The molecular volume increase is counteracted by hydrostatic pressure. Pressures above 700 atm to 1,500 atm …

The Reeve's Tale: Chaucer's Measure For Measure, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

That Oswald tells the Reeve's Tale to avenge himself on Robin is evident. However, the method by which he does so is not so evident. His technique is to disguise revenge as justice: by cloaking personal retribution in the garment of objective moral comment, he is able to pretend that he is concerned not so much with retaliation as with evil itself. In doing this, he makes a mistake. The morality which he announces is more applicable to him than to his victim, and the opposition between what he says and what Chaucer says through him constitutes the real comic …
