A Protein Factor Required For Activation Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase By Ferrous Ions, Larry Bentle, Roy Snoke, Henry Lardy

Articles

When rat liver cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase is purified, its activity is no longer enhanced by incubation with 30 muM Fe2+. Ferrous ion stimulation of the purified enzyme is restored by the addition of rat liver cytosol. The agent responsible is a cytosolic protein, named P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase ferroactivator, that was readily separated from the enzyme during purification of the latter. A quantitative assay for P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase ferroactivator is described. Subcellular fractionation of livers from fasted rats shows that 98% of the combined mitochondrial and cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase ferroactivator activity resides in the cytosol. Fasting does not produce significant change in this …

The Literature Labyrinth Of Nuclear Power: A Bibliography, Penny Hazelton

Articles

The first part is a survey of the basic sources available to a person researching a problem on nuclear power. Three forms are discussed—bibliographies, U.S. government documents, and current awareness materials. The second portion is a selection of significant books on nuclear power and the law published since 1960. The third and final portion is a subject arrangement of law review articles published between 1957 and 1975. Used in conjunction with Atomic Energy and the Law: A Bibliography and Blueprint for Atomic Energy Literature: Legislative and Legal, this survey and bibliography will give the researcher a lead to the …

Clearcutting: Can You See The Forest For The Trees?, James E. Bernstein, Penny Hazelton, Dennis J. Hubel

Articles

The Organic Act of 1897 provided for the establishment and ,management of the national forest and park lands. In West Virginia Division of the Izaak Walton League v. Butz the United States District Court, applying the "plain meaning" of the Organic Act, permanently enjoined clearcutting on the Monongahela National Forest of West Virginia. The meaning of isolated words, however, is rarely determinative of Congressional intent. This article will demonstrate the shortcomings of the court's decision through an examination of the doctrines of statutory construction and analysis of the legislative history and administrative interpretation of the Act and by addressing the …

Queries 'N Theories: An Instructional Game On The Dot, Dot, Dot... Approach To Scientific Method, Layman E. Allen

Articles

QUERIES 'N THEORIES provides a parallel to the strong inference approach to scientific method - designing experiments, observing data, and theorizing. The reiter- ated use of the DOT approach (Design, Observe, Theorize) in the problem-solving required by the game mirrors the regular, systematic application of strong inference in some areas of science (e.g., high energy physics and molecular biology) that have moved ahead much more rapidly than others. Moreover, the game embodies and provides practice in two aspects of scientific theorizing and designing which John Platt has pointed out as central to scientific advance: (1) the usefulness of multiple hypotheses …

Federal Organization For Control Of Weather Modification, Ralph W. Johnson

Articles

This article is designed to explore the optimal institutional structures that might be adopted by the federal government to manage weather modification. Should all federal weather modification activities be managed by a new department? Should these activities be carried out by one of the existing mission agencies, or by a new one? Should the various weather modification functions of research, operations, data collection, monitoring, coordination, comprehensive planning, project review, regulation, licensing, and indemnification all be carried by one federal agency, or should they be scattered among a variety of agencies? Should some be assigned to new entities not yet created? …

Regulation Of Commercial Salmon Fisherman: A Case Of Confused Objectives, Ralph W. Johnson

Articles

To be blunt, the salmon boat fisherman is as obsolete as the buffalo hunter. The "secret'"—traps and weirs; they make salmon catching absurdly easy and can be operated at 1/20 to 1/30 the boat-catching costs. Hunting for salmon on the high seas is like chasing bees in a meadow. Why not wait until the bees return to their hive, or until the salmon return to their spawning stream? Hunting for salmon with boats makes economic sense as a temporary palliative to an unemployment problem; it makes economic nonsense as a permanent industry in a competitive society in a …

The Perilous Necessity: Nonlegal Materials In A Family Law Course, Robert Levy

Articles

Even the most casual observer should be aware that we are living through a period of intense interest by law professors in the behavioral sciences. No volume of the Journalof Legal Education is published without at least one essay on a law school program, a design for cooperative research or a criticism of the lawyers for paying no heed to their more scientific brethren. A review of A.A.I.S. convention agendas would indicate, I am sure, very few meetings without some discussion of "Law and the Behavioral Sciences."' The interest manifests itself in a variety of ways, 'but nowhere more actively, …
