The 1980 U.N. Commission On Human Rights And The Disappeared, David Kramer, David Weissbrodt Jan 1981

The 1980 U.N. Commission On Human Rights And The Disappeared, David Kramer, David Weissbrodt

Articles

When the public debate began at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on the question of disappeared persons, the atmosphere in the huge assembly hall was tense and expectant. The public gallery was jammed with the wives and families of those persons who had been "disappeared"- arrested, tortured, imprisoned, or possibly killed by governments which refused to admit any knowledge or responsibility. The concerned audience came from all over the world. A few had even been disappeared themselves, but had managed to escape.


Fact-Finding By International Nongovernmental Human Rights Organizations, David Weissbrodt, James Mccarthy Jan 1981

Fact-Finding By International Nongovernmental Human Rights Organizations, David Weissbrodt, James Mccarthy

Articles

There are a considerable number of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in overseeing the implementation of human rights by governments throughout the world.1 Working at the international2 and national levels,s these organizations function as unofficial ombudsmen safeguarding human rights against govern- mental infringement, using such techniques as diplomatic initia- tives,4 reports,5 public statements,6 efforts to influence the deliber- ations of intergovernmental human rights bodies, campaigns to mobilize public opinion,8 and attempts to affect the foreign policy of some countries with respect to their relations with other coun- tries that regularly commit human rights violations.9

A Note On Products Of Infinite Cyclic Groups, Brendan Goldsmith Jan 1981

A Note On Products Of Infinite Cyclic Groups, Brendan Goldsmith

Articles

In his book [2], Fuchs introduces the notion of a subgroup X of a Specker group P being a product and goes on to establish a Lemma [2, Lemma 95.1] which yields a useful characterization of the quotient and enables an easy derivation of Nunke’s characterization of epimorphic images of the Specker group [4]. Unfortunately this Lemma is incorrect as we show in section 1. In section 2 by suitably strengthening the hypothesis we regain a characterization of the quotient. Throughout, all groups are additively written Abelian groups and our notation follows the standard works of Fuchs [1], [2].

The Effect Of Dietary Supplements Of W3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids On The Fatty Acid Composition Of Platelets And Plasma Choline Phosphoglycerides, T. Sanders, Katherine Younger Jan 1981

The Effect Of Dietary Supplements Of W3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids On The Fatty Acid Composition Of Platelets And Plasma Choline Phosphoglycerides, T. Sanders, Katherine Younger

Articles

Although it is not known iflinolenic acid (18:3w3) is essential its derivatives are important (Tinoco et a/. 1979). Eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5w3) is the precursor of the triene prostaglandins (Gryglewski et a/. 1979) and when incorporated into platelet lipids may influence bleeding time (Sanders et al. 1980). Docosahexaenoic acid (22:0013) is a major component of human brain and retinal lipids and is found in its highest concentrations in the phosphoglycerides of synaptic membranes and rod outer segments implying that it has a role in neural transmission. Radiotracer experiments in vitro suggest that man can convert 18:3w3 to 20:5w3 and 22:0013 (De …

Dimer Excision In Escherichia Coli In The Presence Of Caffeine., Robert Rothman Jan 1980

Dimer Excision In Escherichia Coli In The Presence Of Caffeine., Robert Rothman

Articles

Article may be found at: http://jb.asm.org/cgi/reprint/143/1/520 The observation that polA1 and recL152 mutations result in both slow pyrimidine dimer excision and large repair patch size leads to the hypothesis that patch size is directly related to the rate of excision. In this study caffeine, a known inhibitor of excision repair, was used to examine the extent of correlation between excision rate and patch size by measuring patch size in the presence of several concentrations of caffeine. Both the rate of excision and the resistance to ultraviolet radiation were reduced with increasing concentrations of caffeine after irradiation. Caffeine also inhibited the …

Unanimity And Desegregation: Decisionmaking In The Supreme Court, 1948-1958, Dennis J. Hutchinson Jan 1980

Unanimity And Desegregation: Decisionmaking In The Supreme Court, 1948-1958, Dennis J. Hutchinson

Articles

By a process that has been the subject of considerable speculation, the United States Supreme Court reached a unanimous decision in the 1954 cases of Brown v. Board of Education and Bolling v. Sharpe, declaring unconstitutional statutory segregation in public school systems in the states and in the District of Columbia. Using previously unpublished material, Professor Hutchinson traces the rise and fall of unanimity in the segregation cases of the 1950's. The article delineates the Court's internal decisionmaking process and analyzes the role of unanimity in influencing the response of both the Court and the nation to the escalating challenges …


Market Power In Antitrust Cases, Richard A. Posner, William M. Landes Jan 1980

Market Power In Antitrust Cases, Richard A. Posner, William M. Landes

Articles

With many antitrust prohibitions, the existence of a violation depends upon whether the defendant possesses sufficient market power. In this Article, Professors Landes and Posner present an economic analysis of market power that provides the necessary foundation for application to particular cases and for formulation of antitrust policy. They use their approach to illuminate the perplexing issues of product and geographical market definition, the measurement of market power arising from mergers and within regulated industries, and the quantification of damages in monopolization and price-fixing cases. Finally, they argue that, despite the novelty of their formulation, it is compatible with the …


The Need For Clear Structure In 'Plain Language' Legal Drafting, Layman E. Allen, C. Rudy Engholm Jan 1980

The Need For Clear Structure In 'Plain Language' Legal Drafting, Layman E. Allen, C. Rudy Engholm

Articles

Language is not simple. To pretend otherwise is to mislead. In practice the aspect that is handled most ineptly in written legal materials is the structure. The focus of this article is upon structure and how to improve it. At the outset, let one thing be absolutely clear. In seeking to achieve clarity of expression, those who have no more to recommend than short sentences, simple words, and readability formulas are offering a cracker in circumstances where a full gourmet feast is gleaming in the chef's eye for those with the wit but to ask for the menu. To practice …


Machiavelli And The Bar: Ethical Limitations On Lying In Negotiation, James J. White Jan 1980

Machiavelli And The Bar: Ethical Limitations On Lying In Negotiation, James J. White

Articles

Upon the enactment of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, published ethical norms will for the first time give explicit consideration to the lawyer's behavior in the process of negotiation. Rules 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 deal with negotiation. Although the Canons, the interpretations of the Canons, and the Disciplinary Rules and Ethical Considerations gave tangential consideration to negotiating, 1 none of the Disciplinary Rules or Ethical Considerations explicitly considered negotiation apart from the process of litigation or counseling. The mere recognition of negotiation as a separate process worthy of unique rules is a large step. The purpose of this paper …


The Patentability Of Living Microorganisms: Diamond V. Chakrabarty, Daniel H. Foote Jan 1980

The Patentability Of Living Microorganisms: Diamond V. Chakrabarty, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

Microbiologists have made great advances in modifying gene structures to create new forms of life. In Diamond v. Chakrabarty, the Supreme Court addressed for the first time the patentability of a living microorganism. In a 5-4 decision that has been condemned as heralding the advent of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the Court held that the living nature of a microorganism is no bar to patenting it.

Distribution Of Flurescent Latex Particles Following Clearance From The Hemolymph Of The Freshwater Crayfish,Orconectes Virilis (Hagen), Douglas Merrill, S. Mongeon, S. Fisher Jan 1979

Distribution Of Flurescent Latex Particles Following Clearance From The Hemolymph Of The Freshwater Crayfish,Orconectes Virilis (Hagen), Douglas Merrill, S. Mongeon, S. Fisher

Articles

By using a novel technique we have been able to follow the clearance and distribution of fluorescent latex particles injected into both the midventral sinus and pericardial sinus of the freshwater cray-fish,Orconecte virilis. The fluorescene of various tissues was determined over post-injection periods ranging from 1 h to 20 days. Particles were rapidly removed from the hemolymph (Figs. 1 and 2) and accumulated in the heart (Fig. 3), antennal glands (Fig. 4), gills (Fig. 5) and, to a lesser extent, hepatopancreas (Fig. 6). Other tissues contained fluorescence in concentrations proportional to their supply of hemolymph.


Effect Of Blocking Protein Synthesis At Nonpermissive Temperatures On Temperature-Sensitive Deoxyribonucleic Acid Mutants Of Escherichia Coli, Irene Evans, N. Forrest, A. Lawrence Jan 1979

Effect Of Blocking Protein Synthesis At Nonpermissive Temperatures On Temperature-Sensitive Deoxyribonucleic Acid Mutants Of Escherichia Coli, Irene Evans, N. Forrest, A. Lawrence

Articles

When protein synthesis was blocked in temperature-sensitive deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis mutants of Escherichia coli at nonpermissive temperatures, it reduced the amount of apparent subsequent chain elongation to approximately half that observed in the mutants either at nonpermissive temperatures alone or when protein synthesis was blocked at the permissive temperature. Blocking protein synthesis at the nonpermissive temperatures for periods of 40 min caused the loss of ability to reinitiate deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis at the permissive temperature.
