Is There Really A Super-Massive Black Hole In M87?, Alessandro Marconi, David Axon, Duccio Macchetto
Is There Really A Super-Massive Black Hole In M87?, Alessandro Marconi, David Axon, Duccio Macchetto
Articles
We present the first HST long-slit spectrum of a gaseous disk around a candidate super-massive black-hole. The results of this study on the kinematics of the gaseous disk in M87 are a considerable improvement in both spatial resolution and accuracy over previous observations and requires a projected mass of MBH(sin i)2 = (2.0 ± 0.5)×109M⊙ (MBH = 3.2×109M⊙ for a disk inclination i = 52◦) concentrated within a sphere whose radius is less than 0.′′05 (3.5 pc) to explain the observed rotation curve. The kinematics of the ionized gas is well described by a thin disk in keplerian motion. A …
Real Estate 20:20, John Ratcliffe
Real Estate 20:20, John Ratcliffe
Articles
This paper seeks to establish a framework for studying real estate futures. In doing so, it explores the general climate of change within which property decisions will have to be made, and examines the specific real estate opportunities that might emerge as a result of that change. For the purpose of appraisal, the forces of change are grouped into six sectors - cultural, demographic, economic, environmental, governmental and technological. Property perspectives are then portrayed for each of these sectors, and some conclusions drawn regarding the likely directions of change in the fields of real estate investment, development and management. Above …

Distributed Detection With Multiple Sensors: Part I—Fundamentals, Ramanarayanan Viswanathan, Pramod K. Varshney
Distributed Detection With Multiple Sensors: Part I—Fundamentals, Ramanarayanan Viswanathan, Pramod K. Varshney
Articles
In this paper, basic results on distributed detection are reviewed. In particular, we consider the parallel and the serial architectures in some detail and discuss the decision rules obtained from their optimization based on the Neyman–Pearson (NP) criterion and the Bayes formulation. For conditionally independent sensor observations, the optimality of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) at the sensors is established. General comments on several important issues are made including the computational complexity of obtaining the optimal solutions, the design of detection networks with more general topologies, and applications to different areas.

Conceptions Of Legal Theory: A Response To Ronald Dworkin, Richard A. Posner
Articles
The editors have kindly invited Professor Sunstein and me to comment on Ronald Dworkin's article In Praise of Theory.' The article is critical of what Dworkin calls the "Chicago School" of "anti-theorists," 2 to which he has consigned both Sunstein and me despite the palpable differences between our views. I do not want to paper over those differences, but I do want to point out that Dworkin has committed the identical error in his criticisms of both of us, as well as mischaracterizing our views. That error is to announce a parochial definition of "theory," then define anyone who does …

The Fearful Symmetry Of Gay Rights, Religious Freedom, And Racial Equality, Walter J. Walsh
The Fearful Symmetry Of Gay Rights, Religious Freedom, And Racial Equality, Walter J. Walsh
Articles
A decade has now passed since Julia Cooper Mack authored her most controversial judicial opinion, Gay Rights Coalition of Georgetown University Law Center v. Georgetown University. That opinion provoked two acts of Congress aimed at its reversal, newspaper editorials from coast to coast, and over one hundred scholarly authors debating its wisdom. In this short essay, I shall suggest that this extended hermeneutic debate has yet to touch upon the deepest implications of Judge Mack's Georgetown opinion. While recent scholarship on this story praises Judge Mack's unusual ability to reconcile clashing interest groups, a more accurate account might be …
Protecting And Promoting Wildlife And Habitat On State And Private Land In Washington's Arid Interior, Gregory A. Hicks
Protecting And Promoting Wildlife And Habitat On State And Private Land In Washington's Arid Interior, Gregory A. Hicks
Articles
The object of this paper is to describe efforts now under way in the interior uplands of Washington State's Columbia Plain to restore and protect upland wildlife habitat and wildlife species in a busy and intensively used agricultural and range landscape. It is a landscape of greatly diminished ecological integrity, dominated by private land holdings, and where the remaining public lands are recovering from earlier periods of farming or grazing or still dedicated to productive use under lease or permit. Recent ecosystem assessments make clear that there are few areas of the Columbia Plain's original grass and shrub land which …

Defeating Environmental Law: The Geology Of Legal Advantage, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

My talk today will: (1) introduce the metaphor of geology, (2) suggest to you that complexity has "gainers" as well as "losers," and (3) show you how environmental laws can be defeated by these twin engines of complexity and clever human adversaries.

The Arts Show Audience: Cultural Confidence And Middlebrow Arts Consumption, Brian O'Neill
The Arts Show Audience: Cultural Confidence And Middlebrow Arts Consumption, Brian O'Neill
Articles
The arts constitute a form of cultural consumption that has been relatively neglected in recent academic discourse in comparison to the burgeoning literature of cultural studies dedicated to popular and mass media forms of culture. This emphasis within cultural studies on popular genres over traditional forms of art, what has been labelled its ‘cultural populism’ (Mc Guigan, 1992), systematically emphasises common, ordinary taste and resistant aesthetic strategies while denigrating ‘high culture’ as an elitist, middle class leisure pursuit that has little relevance to most people (Willis, 1990). Going against this populist tide, this chapter argues that an examination of popular …

The Emerging Law Of Electronic Commerce, Amelia H. Boss, Jane Kaufman Winn
The Emerging Law Of Electronic Commerce, Amelia H. Boss, Jane Kaufman Winn
Articles
Although often not apparent to the average business person or even the average lawyer, changes are currently underway, both domestically and internationally, to adapt existing commercial law doctrines to accommodate electronic transactions and the technologies that underlie them. The Uniform Commercial Code (Code) is undergoing substantial revision in order to respond to changes in business practice and the use of electronic communications technologies. These revisions will provide many of the basic rules to support and facilitate electronic commerce, and, to the extent possible, are being coordinated with international efforts in the field.
While progress in the creation of uniform laws …

Kinetic Vs. Thermodynamic Control In The Dehydration Of 2-Methylcyclopentanol, Thomas Poon, Bradford Mundy, Jean Mcintyre
Kinetic Vs. Thermodynamic Control In The Dehydration Of 2-Methylcyclopentanol, Thomas Poon, Bradford Mundy, Jean Mcintyre
Articles
A two part organic laboratory experiment illustrating the Grignard reaction and the concept of kinetic versus thermodynamic control is described. The reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide with 2-methylcyclopentanone yileds an unsymmetrical benzylic alcohol which can be dehydrated using toluenesulfonic acid to give predominately the less substituted alkene. Application of heat to the reaction mixture over a period of two hours reverses the trend to give the more substituted alkene as the major product in 91% relative yield. The dehydration is monitored by GC/MS and the experiment can be performed using macro and microscale techniques.
