Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, Robert W. Slawson Nov 1997

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 …

Phase Jitter In Mpsk Carrier Tracking Loops: Analytical, Simulation And Laboratory Results, Brian T. Kopp, William P. Osborne Nov 1997

Phase Jitter In Mpsk Carrier Tracking Loops: Analytical, Simulation And Laboratory Results, Brian T. Kopp, William P. Osborne

Articles

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].

Voidable Preferences And Proceeds: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson Oct 1997

Voidable Preferences And Proceeds: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article examines the complexities surrounding voidable preferences and proceeds in bankruptcy law, particularly when a secured creditor holds a floating lien on a debtor's assets. It argues that payments made by the debtor to unsecured creditors using encumbered funds can be recovered by the bankruptcy trustee as voidable preferences, provided the creditor cannot trace the funds back to their trust property. The analysis critiques existing case law and proposes that the voidable preference right is never part of the debtor's estate, instead being held by the trustee. The article also challenges the notion that good faith purchasers should retain …


Dedication To Professor Ralph W. Johnson, David H. Getches Oct 1997

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 …

After The Dna Wars: Skirmishing With Nrc Ii, Richard O. Lempert Jul 1997

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 …


Testing Testing, Carl E. Schneider Jul 1997

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 …

On The Stark Broadening Parameters Of The Two Nii Spectral Lines Of The 3d-4f Transition, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize Jun 1997

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 Apr 1997

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. …


Minority Protection In Residential Private Governments, Stewart E. Sterk Apr 1997

Minority Protection In Residential Private Governments, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article explores the balance between majority rule and minority protections in community associations, drawing parallels with corporate governance to address conflicts and self-dealing issues. It argues that while market forces and self-interest often mitigate harmful majority actions, legal safeguards are necessary to protect minority interests, particularly when idiosyncratic value is at stake. The article advocates for express protections in governing documents and the use of supermajorities to limit association power, emphasizing that courts should invalidate redistributive actions without compensation.


To End Deferral As We Know It: Simplification Potential Of Check-The-Box, Reuven Avi-Yonah Jan 1997

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 …


Real Estate 20:20, John Ratcliffe Jan 1997

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 …
