The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha (Ppar ) Regulates Bile Acid Biosynthesis., Mary Hunt, Yi-Zeng Yang, Gosta Eggertsen, Claes Carneheim, Mats Gafvels, Curt Einarsson, Stefan Alexson
Articles
Fibrates are a group of hypolipidemic agents which efficiently lower serum triglyceride levels by affecting the expression of many genes involved in lipid metabolism. These effects are exerted via the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARa). In addition, fibrates also lower serum cholesterol levels, suggesting a possible link between the PPARa and cholesterol metabolism. Bile acid formation represents an important pathway for elimination of cholesterol, and the sterol 12a-hydroxylase is a branch-point enzyme in the bile acid biosynthetic pathway, which determines the ratio of cholic acid to chenodeoxycholic acid. Treatment of mice for one week with the peroxisome proliferator WY-14,643 or …

The Best-Laid Plans, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
It is natural to suppose law is like the centurion and can do as it will: "I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it." But a thousand years ago, King Canute tried to disillusion his courtiers about his efficacy by commanding the waves to stop beating. And fifty years ago, Harry Truman predicted of Dwight Eisenhower, "He'll sit here, and he'll say, 'Do this! Do that!' And nothing will happen. Poor Ike-it won't be a bit like the Army. He'll find it …

The Intervention Of American Law In Jewish Divorce: A Pluralist Analysis, Suzanne Last Stone
The Intervention Of American Law In Jewish Divorce: A Pluralist Analysis, Suzanne Last Stone
Articles
The article examines the tension between gender equality and religious freedom through the lens of the *agunah* problem in Jewish law, where women are unable to remarry due to their husbands' refusal to grant a Jewish divorce (*get*). It critiques civil remedies aimed at addressing this issue, such as the Get Law, and evaluates their constitutional implications under the religion clauses. The analysis uses pluralist theories to assess how the liberal state should respond to conflicts between universal rights and group-specific legal practices, arguing that current approaches often undermine cultural diversity and individual rights within religious groups.
Quality Of Shredded Carrots As Affected By Packaging Film And Storage Temperature, Catherine Barry-Ryan, David O'Beirne
Quality Of Shredded Carrots As Affected By Packaging Film And Storage Temperature, Catherine Barry-Ryan, David O'Beirne
Articles
Different packaging films and storage temperatures were used to establish a range of equilibrium modified atmospheres for storage of shredded carrots. Quality and storage-life of the packaged shredded carrots were determined using sensory evaluation, microbial counts, and a range of physical tests. Minimal processing steps such as peeling and shredding caused physical damage, physiological stress, and enhanced microbial growth, leading to a reduced shelf life when compared to the whole vegetable. A P-plus microporous film (CO2 permeability of 29103mL.m 2.d 1.atm 1) was the most suitable for the storage of shredded carrots. Findings indicated that deterioration in these products was …
Lightness Dependencies And The Effect Of Texture On Suprathreshold Lightness Tolerances, Ethan D. Montag, Roy S. Berns
Lightness Dependencies And The Effect Of Texture On Suprathreshold Lightness Tolerances, Ethan D. Montag, Roy S. Berns
Articles
A psychophysical experiment was performed to determine the effects of lightness dependency on suprathreshold lightness tolerances. Using a pass/fail method of constant stimuli, lightness tolerance thresholds were measured using achromatic stimuli centered at CIELAB L* = 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 90 using 44 observers. In addition to measuring tolerance thresholds for uniform samples, lightness tolerances were measured using stimuli with a simulated texture of thread wound on a card. A texture intermediate between the wound thread and the uniform stimuli was also used. A computer-controlled CRT was used to perform the experiments. Lightness tolerances were found to increase …
Hydrodynamic Drag In Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias Jubatus), Lei Lani Stelle, Robert Blake, Andrew Trites
Hydrodynamic Drag In Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias Jubatus), Lei Lani Stelle, Robert Blake, Andrew Trites
Articles
Drag forces acting on Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) were investigated from 'deceleration during glide' measurements. A total of 66 glides from six juvenile sea lions yielded a mean drag coefficient (referenced to total wetted surface area) of 0.0056 at a mean Reynolds number of 5.5x10(6). The drag values indicate that the boundary layer is largely turbulent for Steller sea lions swimming at these Reynolds numbers, which are past the point of expected transition from laminar to turbulent flow. The position of maximum thickness (at 34 % of the body length measured from the tip of the nose) was more …

Observational Limits On Terrestrial-Sized Inner Planets Around The Cm Draconis System Using The Photometric Transit Method With A Matched-Filter Algorithm, Laurance R. Doyle, Hans Deeg, Valerij Kozhevnikov, Zoran Ninkov, Et Al.
Articles
A lightcurve of the eclipsing binary CM Draconis has been analyzed for the presence of transits of planets of size >= 2.5 Earth-radii (Re), with periods of 60 days or less, and in co-planar orbits around the binary system. About 400 million model lightcurves, representing transits from planets with periods ranging from 7 to 60 days, have been matched/correlated against these data. This process we call the "transit detection algorithm" or TDA. The resulting `transit-statistics' for each planet candidate allow the quantification of detection probabilities, and of false alarm rates. Our current lightcurve of CM Dra has a coverage of …

Timing Corporate Disclosures To Maximize Performance-Based Remuneration: A Case Of Misaligned Incentives?, Charles M. Yablon, Jennifer Hill
Timing Corporate Disclosures To Maximize Performance-Based Remuneration: A Case Of Misaligned Incentives?, Charles M. Yablon, Jennifer Hill
Articles
This Article takes a close look at the potential misalignment of interests created by managers' traditional discretion over the timing and content of corporate disclosures and managers' new incentives, created by performance-based compensation, to utilize that discretion to maximize the value of their own compensation. It examines recent studies that strongly suggest that CEOs are manipulating disclosure to increase their own compensation. It then considers the various ways such manipulation can occur, concluding that all but the most egregious forms of disclosure manipulation by management are either legal or effectively insulated from legal redress. The Article then examines the rationales …
Criminal Prosecution And Section 1983, Barry Scheck
Criminal Prosecution And Section 1983, Barry Scheck
Articles
The article explores the intricate relationship between criminal prosecutions of police officers and subsequent Section 1983 civil rights claims. Professor Barry C. Scheck examines how the outcomes of criminal cases significantly influence civil litigation, highlighting challenges such as the "blue wall of silence," racial profiling, and legal strategies like Monell claims. The thesis underscores the strategic importance of federal intervention and the use of pattern and practice actions to address systemic issues in law enforcement.

Rationality In Law And Economics Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Rationality In Law And Economics Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
Jeanne L. Schroeder critiques Richard Posner's conception of rationality in law and economics, arguing that his broad and evolving definition dilutes the concept, rendering it too vague and analytically weak. She advocates for a more nuanced approach that integrates psychological insights and acknowledges the limitations of traditional economic models. Schroeder emphasizes the need for empirical accuracy and theoretical rigor, challenging Posner's dismissal of behavioral economics and his reliance on evolutionary biology for explanations of irrational behavior.
Effects Of Peeling Methods On The Quality Of Ready-To-Use Carrot Slices, Catherine Barry-Ryan, David O'Beirne
Effects Of Peeling Methods On The Quality Of Ready-To-Use Carrot Slices, Catherine Barry-Ryan, David O'Beirne
Articles
The effects of methods used for peeling and physiological age (over-wintering) on the quality and storage life of carrot disks packaged in modified atmosphere were examined. Commercial mechanical abrasion peeling using fine or coarse carborundum plates, was compared with carrots peeled by hand, before slicing into disks. Slices which had been peeled by abrasion had higher respiration rates, greater microbial contamination and growth rates, higher pH values, higher rates of weight loss and shorter microbiological shelf-lives than those which had been hand peeled. These results reflected the higher quality of the manually peeled carrots. Micrographs of the peeled surfaces confirmed …

A Response To Professor Benkler, Marci A. Hamilton
A Response To Professor Benkler, Marci A. Hamilton
Articles
Professor Hamilton explores the constitutional complexity uncovered by Professor Benkler in his piece, Constitutional Bounds of Database Protection: The Role of Judicial Review in the Creation and Definition of Private Rights in Information. Specifically, Professor Hamilton highlights that our democratic structure is characterized by representation rather than self-rule. In doing so, she refocuses the role of information in the political process and highlights that different types of information require different levels of access. Professor Hamilton's analysis further illustrates how an imprecise use of terminology may lead to incorrect conclusions regarding information jurisprudence. Through her more refined lens, Professor Hamilton reconsiders …
Passing Money On: Equity Theory And Distribution Of Money In A Will, Morton Isaacs
Passing Money On: Equity Theory And Distribution Of Money In A Will, Morton Isaacs
Articles
127 respondents were asked to distribute $100,000 in a will among their four children shown as differing in helpfulness to the respondent and need for the money. The majority of respondents divided the money unequally, with more than 2/3 rejecting a norm of equality in favor of rewarding helpfulness (equity) and relative need. Last year's research produced results favoring equality. Possible reasons for this disparity and implications for further research on Equity theory are presented.

Book Review (Reviewing Jeremy Waldron, Law And Disagreement (1999)), Richard A. Posner
Book Review (Reviewing Jeremy Waldron, Law And Disagreement (1999)), Richard A. Posner
Articles
In Law and Disagreement, Jeremy Waldron, born and educated in New Zealand and trained in England, mounts a powerful argument in favor of legislation as a legitimate source of authority and correspondingly denigrates the American faith in judicial review. Waldron claims among other things that a legislature's inability to achieve consensus enables legislation to resolve disputes in a way that preserves the dignity and self-respect of losers in the policy struggle. In this Book Review Essay, Judge Posner commends Waldron for his impressive criticisms of the theoretical basis for the American faith in judicial review. At the same time, he …

Two Rank Order Tests For M-Ary Detection, Viswanath Annampedu, Vladimir V. Roganov, Ramanarayanan Viswanathan
Two Rank Order Tests For M-Ary Detection, Viswanath Annampedu, Vladimir V. Roganov, Ramanarayanan Viswanathan
Articles
We consider a general M-ary detection problem where, given M groups of L samples each, the problem is to identify which unique group of L samples have come from the signal hypothesis. The optimal likelihood ratio test is unrealizable, when the joint distribution of ML samples is not completely known. In this paper we consider two rank order types of tests termed as the modified rank test (MRT) and the modified rank test with row sort (MRTRS). We examine through simulation, the small sample probability of error performances of MRT and MRTRS for detecting a signal among contaminants. Numerically …
Kenneth Starr: Diabolically Evil?, Jeanne L. Schroeder, David G. Carlson
Kenneth Starr: Diabolically Evil?, Jeanne L. Schroeder, David G. Carlson
Articles
The article explores the intersection of law, morality, and subjectivity through the lens of Slavoj Žižek's philosophical works, particularly in the context of the impeachment of President Clinton. It argues that the public's negative reaction to the impeachment was rooted in a fear of encountering "diabolical evil," a concept drawn from Kantian philosophy, where law and morality coincide perfectly. This form of evil is more terrifying than ordinary evil because it is committed without pathological motives, purely for the sake of duty.
