Juno Moneta: On The Erotics Of The Marketplace, Jeanne L. Schroeder Jan 1997

Juno Moneta: On The Erotics Of The Marketplace, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article explores how property and the feminine, as legal fictions, facilitate the creation of subjectivity through the lens of Hegelian philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis. It critiques the liberal individual as an insufficient concept for subjectivity, arguing that subjectivity is constructed, not natural. The analysis examines how legal frameworks privilege masculine metaphors, such as possession, while repressing feminine ones, and posits that the pursuit of a perfect market represents a destructive ideal that undermines freedom and subjectivity.

Deep Ccd Photometry And The Initial Mass Function Of The Core Of The Ob Cluster Berkeley 86, Hans J. Deeg, Zoran Ninkov Oct 1996

Deep Ccd Photometry And The Initial Mass Function Of The Core Of The Ob Cluster Berkeley 86, Hans J. Deeg, Zoran Ninkov

Articles

Based on photometry of deep CCD frames of the central region of the OB cluster Berkeley 86, we derive the cluster mass function. The absence of current star formation, and the cluster's young age of about 6Myrs, leads to the conclusion that the initial mass function (IMF) and the current mass function are identical for stars with m< 10msun_. In the range of 1.2-20msun_, an IMF with a slope of {GAMMA}=-1.3+/-0.3 is found. This value agrees well with other recent determinations of young clusters IMFs which are close to the classical Salpeter IMF with {GAMMA}=-1.35. Sections of the IMF of Berkeley 86 that are significantly steeper, or flatter, are most likely the result of a dip in the star's mass distribution in the range of 3.5-10msun_. Similar dips may have led to steep IMFs over narrow mass ranges, as reported in the literature for some other clusters. No sign for a low mass turn-over in the IMF of Berkeley 86 is found for masses extending down to 0.85 msun _ (Refer to PDF file for exact formulas).


Refinement Of The Rlab Color Space, Mark Fairchild Oct 1996

Refinement Of The Rlab Color Space, Mark Fairchild

Articles

The prediction of color appearance using the RLAB color space has been tested for a variety of viewing conditions and stimulus types. These tests have shown that RLAB performs well for complex stimuli and not-so-well for simple stimuli. This article reviews the various psychophysical results, interprets their differences, and describes evolutionary enhancements to the RLAB model that simplify it and improve its performance.


Stupid Lawyer Tricks: An Essay On Discovery Abuse, Charles M. Yablon Oct 1996

Stupid Lawyer Tricks: An Essay On Discovery Abuse, Charles M. Yablon

Articles

The article critiques the prevalent approaches to addressing discovery abuse in legal proceedings, arguing that traditional methods focusing on moralizing about civility are ineffective. Instead, it proposes a more direct approach, inspired by parental discipline, where judges should firmly tell lawyers to cease abusive behavior. The author draws on Aristotle's concept of "akrasia" (moral weakness) to explain why lawyers often engage in counterproductive tactics, suggesting that emotional impulses and the pressure to win drive such actions. The article advocates for innovative solutions to deter discovery abuse, emphasizing the need to make such behavior less enjoyable through targeted sanctions and increased …

The Trips Agreement: Imperialistic, Outdated, And Overprotective, Marci A. Hamilton May 1996

The Trips Agreement: Imperialistic, Outdated, And Overprotective, Marci A. Hamilton

Articles

According to Professor Hamilton, the TRIPS Agreement constructs international copyright law in the image of Western, Protestant-based capitalist copyright law. She suggests that the Agreement Imposes presuppositions about human value, effort, and reward that contain political, sociological, and legal ramifications. In fact, the Agreement, with its focus upon valuing individual human creative achievement, could spur further developments in Westernbased human rights in the rest of the world. By transplanting Western ideas to the rest of the world, TRIPS may actually encourage anti-authoritarian revolution.

She further suggests that the TRIPS Agreement seeks to establish a free market of intellectual property goods. …


Never Jam To-Day: On The Impossibility Of Takings Jurisprudence, Jeanne L. Schroeder May 1996

Never Jam To-Day: On The Impossibility Of Takings Jurisprudence, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article critiques the incoherence of takings jurisprudence under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, arguing that property rights cannot be understood as absolute or natural but must be viewed through the lens of Hegelian dialectics. It contends that property is a socially constructed concept requiring pragmatic reasoning to balance individual rights and communitarian limits. The analysis emphasizes that the determination of when regulation constitutes a taking cannot be resolved through rigid legal frameworks but demands a pragmatic approach, as the balance between individualistic and communitarian interests is inherently empirical and subjective.

A Call For A Unified Business Organization Law, John H. Matheson, Brent A. Olson Jan 1996

A Call For A Unified Business Organization Law, John H. Matheson, Brent A. Olson

Articles

The authors propose a wholesale reformation of business organization law. The current regime of business organization law reflects an attempt to blend the benefits of limited liability with conduit or flow-through taxation. The result has been a haphazard development of business forms, often created to satisfy shifting federal tax law guidelines. The authors trace this development, from the traditional corporation and partnership forms through limited partnerships and Subchapter S corporations to the recent organizational forms of limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships. The authors show how the search for the ideal organizational form has failed, leaving an unwieldy morass …
