Effective Hourly Rates Of Contingency-Fee Lawyers: Competing Data And Non-Competitive Fees, Lester Brickman
Effective Hourly Rates Of Contingency-Fee Lawyers: Competing Data And Non-Competitive Fees, Lester Brickman
Articles
The article critically examines the impact of contingency fees on the tort system, arguing that these fees have risen significantly over the past few decades without a corresponding increase in risk, leading to exploitative practices that harm clients and drive up costs. The author challenges Herbert Kritzer's research on contingency fees, asserting that Kritzer's data underestimates the true earnings of specialized contingency-fee lawyers and fails to represent national trends accurately. The article advocates for reforms to align contingency fees more closely with the actual risk and effort involved in cases, ensuring fairness for clients and reducing systemic inefficiencies.

Alternative Approaches To Judicial Review Of Social Security Disability Cases, Paul R. Verkuil, Jeffrey S. Lubbers
Articles
The article evaluates proposals for reforming the judicial review process for Social Security disability determinations, highlighting inefficiencies and variability in the current system. It compares the Social Security Administration (SSA) adjudication process with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) appeals system, emphasizing the need for a specialized court to address growing caseloads and improve decisional consistency. The analysis advocates for the creation of a Social Security Court, modeled after the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, to enhance uniformity, reduce delays, and alleviate the burden on federal courts.

Mwir And Lwir Spectral Signatures Of Water And Associated Materials, Herbert J. Mitchell, Carl Salvaggio
Mwir And Lwir Spectral Signatures Of Water And Associated Materials, Herbert J. Mitchell, Carl Salvaggio
Articles
Spectral infrared emissivity measurements have been made of a variety of materials both with and without surface water. The surface water was either natural, in the form of dew or residual rainwater, or artificially introduced by manual wetting. Materials naturally high in water content were also measured. Despite the rather diverse spectral population of the underlying materials, they exhibited very similar, featureless, water-like spectra; spectrally flat with a very high magnitude across the emissive infrared region. The implication to exploitation personnel that may use emissive infrared hyperspectral image data is that in areas where condensation is likely (e.g. high humidity) …

The Importance Of Background In The Detection And Identification Of Gas Plumes Using Emissive Infrared Hyperspectral Sensing, Herbert Mitchell, Gerard P. Jellison, David P. Miller, Carl Salvaggio, Craig J. Miller
Articles
Using a Fourier transform infrared field spectrometer, spectral infrared radiance measurements were made of several generated gas plumes against both a uniform sky and terrestrial background. Background temperature, spectral complexity, and physical homogeneity each influenced the success of emissive infrared spectral sensing technology in detecting and identifying the presence of a gas plume and its component constituents. As expected, high temperature contrast and uniform backgrounds provided the best conditions for detectability and diagnostic identification. This report will summarize some of SITAC’s findings concerning plume detectability, including the importance of plume cooling, plumes in emission and absorption, the effects of optical …

Transition Probabilities In Kr Ii And Kr Iii Spectra, Stevan Djenize, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Milan S. Dimitrijevic
Articles
On the basis of the relative line intensity ratio (RLIR) method, transition probability values of the spontaneous emission (Einstein's A values) of 14 transitions in the singly (Kr II) and 7 transitions in doubly (Kr III) ionized krypton spectra have been obtained relatively to the reference A values related to the 435.548 nm Kr II and 324.569 nm Kr III, the most intensive transitions in the Kr II and Kr III spectra. Our Kr III transition probability values are the first data obtained experimentally using the RLIR method. A linear, low–pressure, pulsed arc operated in krypton discharge was used as …

Growth Of Well-Defined Zno Microparticles By Hydroxide Ion, Ruth Mcbride, Declan Mccormack, John Kelly
Articles
The morphology of the microcrystalline zinc oxide formed by reaction of zinc salts with sodium hydroxide depends critically on the reaction conditions. To understand this, the nature of the solid product has been probed by scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the concentration of zinc remaining in the solution has been determined at regular intervals throughout the reaction. Two general preparative procedures have been followed. The first, which involves simply heating an aqueous solution containing Zn(NO3)2 (0.025 M) and sodium hydroxide (0.375 M) to 101 uC and maintaining it at that temperature for periods of up to …

Minimal K-Rankings And The A-Rank Number Of A Path, Victor Kostyuk, Darren Narayan, Victoria Shults
Minimal K-Rankings And The A-Rank Number Of A Path, Victor Kostyuk, Darren Narayan, Victoria Shults
Articles
Given a graph G, a function f: V(G) -> {1, 2, ..., k} is a k-ranking of G if f(u) = f(v) implies every u - v path contains a vertex w such that f(w) > f(u). A k-ranking is minimal if the reduction of any label greater than 1 violates the described ranking property. The a-rank number of G, denoted u,(G) equals the largest k such that G has a minimal k-ranking. We establish new results involving minimal rankings of paths and in particular we determine u(Pn), a problem suggested by Laskar and Pillone in 2000. We show u(Pn) = …
The Adoption Of Entreprise Resource Planning (Erp) Systems, John Ettlie, Victor Perotti
The Adoption Of Entreprise Resource Planning (Erp) Systems, John Ettlie, Victor Perotti
Articles
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems present significant challenges to modern businesses. Although some organizations enjoy a smooth ERP implementation, others experience very public failures. The present research develops a general models that uses differences between appropriability regimes to predict which adoption strategies will lead to successful implementation. In strong appropriability regimes, intellectual property protection (e.g. patents) helps firms secure the benefits of technological innovation. However, ERP software is usually purchased rather than developed, so it is subject to the minimal intellectual property protection typical of a weak appropriateness regime. It is the latter, weak appropriation context that is the recently …
Identification And Use Of Actinomycetes For Enhanced Nodulation Of Soybean Co-Inoculated With Bradyrhizobium Japonicum, A. K. Gregor, Brian Klubek, E. C. Versa
Identification And Use Of Actinomycetes For Enhanced Nodulation Of Soybean Co-Inoculated With Bradyrhizobium Japonicum, A. K. Gregor, Brian Klubek, E. C. Versa
Articles
The utilization of actinomycetes as potential soybean (Glycine max (L.)) co-inoculants was evaluated. Soil samples from Carbondale and Belleville, Ill., were used to inoculate pre-germinated soybean plants to determine antibiotic sensitivity in the native Bradyrhizobium japonicum population. Sensitivity was in the order kanamycin > tetracycline > oxytetracycline > rifampicin > neomycin. Antagonism by five actinomycete cultures toward seven test strains of B. japonicum was also assessed. The ranking average inhibition (across all seven B. japonicum strains) by these actino mycetes was Streptomyces kanamyceticus = Streptomyces coeruleoprunus > Streptomyces rimosus > Streptomyces sp. > Amy colatopsis mediterranei. Ten antibiotic combinations were used to isolate antibiotic-resistant mutants of B. …
Astrophysical Plasma Diagnostics Through Analysis Of Ar Iine Shape Characteristics, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize
Astrophysical Plasma Diagnostics Through Analysis Of Ar Iine Shape Characteristics, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize
Articles
On the basis of five accurately recorded neutral argon ( ) line shapes (in the 4s-5p transition) we have recovered the basic plasma parameters i.e. electron temperature ( T) and electron density ( N) using our new line deconvolution procedure in the case of three different plasmas created in a linear, low-pressure, pulsed arc discharge. The mentioned plasma parameters have also been measured using independent experimental diagnostic techniques. An excellent agreement has been found among the two sets of obtained parameters. This recommends our deconvolution procedure for plasma diagnostic purposes, especially in astrophysics where direct measurements of the …

Recently, the Supreme Court has encountered cases that concern perhaps our weightiest bioethical issue-how medical care is to be rationed. But this does not mean that the Court must therefore assess the justice of rationing, as many people incited by many journalists now fondly and firmly believe. In explaining why, we begin with a story about how Learned Hand remembered saying one day to Justice Holmes, "Well, sir, goodbye. Do justice!" Holmes turned quite sharply and said: "That is not my job. My job is to play the game according to the rules." If the Court doesn't do justice, what …
The Laconomics Of Apples And Oranges: A Speculative Analysis Of The Economic Concept Of Commensurability, Jeanne L. Schroeder
The Laconomics Of Apples And Oranges: A Speculative Analysis Of The Economic Concept Of Commensurability, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
The article challenges the commensurability debate, arguing that the opposition between commensurability and incommensurability is not a resolvable conflict but a necessary paradox rooted in human subjectivity and symbolic thought. Drawing on the philosophical traditions of Kant, Hegel, and Lacan, the analysis posits that both quantitative and qualitative aspects are essential in legal and economic decision-making, emphasizing the need to manage rather than resolve this paradox. The speculative approach suggests that rationality involves acknowledging and navigating this duality, rather than adhering to one side of the debate.

Autonomous Field-Deployable Wildland Fire Sensors, Robert Kremens, Jason Faulring, A. Gallagher, A. Seema, Anthony Vodacek
Articles
An Autonomous Fire Detector (AFD) is a miniature electronic package combining position location capability [using the Global Positioning System (GPS)], communications (packet or voice-synthesized radio), and fire detection capability (thermal, gas, smoke detector) into an inexpensive, deployable package. The AFD can report fire-related parameters, like temperature, carbon monoxide concentration, or smoke levels via a radio link to firefighters located on the ground. These systems are designed to be inserted into the fire by spotter planes at a fire site or positioned by firefighters already on the ground. AFDs can also be used as early warning devices near critical assets in …

The issue of scholarship in Engineering Technology (ET) is becoming an important topic of discussion within the ET community due to the evolving missions of many institutions that host Engineering Technology programs. Many of these institutions now require some form of documented scholarship from their ET faculty for promotion and tenure purposes, and it is incumbent upon the ET community to support these faculty by defining not only the meaning of scholarship in ET, but also the yardstick by which such scholarship will be assessed. This issue is pertinent to ET because our programs are traditionally of an applied nature …
