An Analysis Of The Median Polish Procedure, Patricia M. Burgess, David L. Farnsworth Aug 1982

An Analysis Of The Median Polish Procedure, Patricia M. Burgess, David L. Farnsworth

Articles

The effect of the median polish procedure on artificial data having known general characteristics, disturbances, and random elements is examined. Monte Carlo experiments were designed for this purpose. The behavior of the fits, residuals, and various accompanying statistics are determined under special controlled conditions. Then, the procedure is applied to selected data sets from the literature utilizing the findings of this study.


The Coming Curtailment Of Compulsory Child Support, David L. Chambers Aug 1982

The Coming Curtailment Of Compulsory Child Support, David L. Chambers

Articles

Absent parents ought to contribute to the support of their minor children and states can appropriately invoke the force of law to compel them to do so. Stated so generally, even absent parents behind in their payments would probably agree. Since so many others agree as well, and since the numbers of single-parent children have mushroomed, systems of governmentally compelled support in this country have grown enormously. By the early part of the next century, if current laws remain in force and current population trends continue, most of America's children on any given day will be entitled to support from …


The Preoperative Treatment Of Severely Anemic Patients With A Perfluorochemical Oxygen-Transport Fluid, Fluosol-Da, K. Tremper, Alan Friedman, E. Levine Jul 1982

The Preoperative Treatment Of Severely Anemic Patients With A Perfluorochemical Oxygen-Transport Fluid, Fluosol-Da, K. Tremper, Alan Friedman, E. Levine

Articles

We gave a perfluorochemical oxygen-transport fluid and plasma expander, Fluosol-DA, to seven severely anemic patients before surgery to determine its effectiveness in supplementing oxygen transport. The dose of Fluosol in the five patients completing the study was 20 ml per kilogram of body weight. When the patients breathed low levels of supplemental oxygen (mean partial pressure of arterial oxygen +/- S.D., 101 +/- 25 torr), the perfluorochemical carried a small amount of oxygen, but when they received pure oxygen (arterial oxygen pressure, 361 +/- 65 torr) it carried approximately 0.8 per cent of oxygen (by volume). This increase accounted for …


Towards Neutral Principles In The Administration Of Criminal Justice: A Critique Of Supreme Court Decisions Sanctioning The Plea Bargaining Process, Malvina Halberstam Apr 1982

Towards Neutral Principles In The Administration Of Criminal Justice: A Critique Of Supreme Court Decisions Sanctioning The Plea Bargaining Process, Malvina Halberstam

Articles

This article compares the Court's reasoning in plea bargaining cases with its reasoning in non-plea-bargaining cases that involve the same legal principles. It analyzes the Court's arguments for sustaining guilty pleas induced by fear of the death penalty or by promises of leniency, and for sanctioning the imposition of harsher penalties on those who reject prosecutional offers to plead and insist on a trial. Finally, it briefly addresses the contention that the system for the administration of criminal justice in the United States could not function if use of a sentencing differential to induce guilty pleas were prohibited.


How Judges Speak: Some Lessons On Adjudication In Billy Budd, Sailor With An Application To Justice Rehnquist, Richard H. Weisberg Apr 1982

How Judges Speak: Some Lessons On Adjudication In Billy Budd, Sailor With An Application To Justice Rehnquist, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article examines how authority figures use language and procedural structures to shape outcomes in both literary and legal contexts, highlighting the tension between formal legal processes and true justice. Through a comparative analysis of Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Sailor and the Supreme Court case Paul v. Davis, the article argues that "considerate communication"—a subtle form of manipulation—can distort reality and undermine fairness in adjudication. It critiques legal systems that prioritize formality over substance, emphasizing how narrative techniques and rhetorical strategies in both literature and law can mask subjective biases and influence decisions.

Chemical Hyperthyroidism: Serum Triiodothyronine Levels In Clinically Euthyroid Individuals Treated With Levothyroxine, D. Salmon, M. Rendell, J. Williams Mar 1982

Chemical Hyperthyroidism: Serum Triiodothyronine Levels In Clinically Euthyroid Individuals Treated With Levothyroxine, D. Salmon, M. Rendell, J. Williams

Articles

We have observed many patients treated with levothyroxine sodium who have elevated serum thyroxine (T4) levels but appear clinically euthyroid. Such patients generally have normal serum triiodothyronine (T3) values. A retrospective review at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, comparing the correlation of T3 and T4 values in levothyroxine-treated patients with that in patients not so treated was carried out from 1977 to 1979. Mean free thyroxine index (FTI) value in 104 levothyroxine-treated patients was 4.70 +/- 0.2 and mean T3 value was 177 +/- 9 ng/dL. In a group of 50 hyperthyroid patients, mean FTI value was 7.26. +/- 0.5, …

The Social Consequences Of Common Law Rules, Richard A. Epstein Jan 1982

The Social Consequences Of Common Law Rules, Richard A. Epstein

Articles

In the past decade, commentators applying both economic and historical methods to the study of the classical common law have explicitly or implicitly made sweeping claims for the system's ability to allocate or redistribute substantial shares of wealth. In this Article, Professor Epstein challenges the assumption that the fundamental doctrines of the common law can have a decisive effect on the flow of resources in society. He calls attention to the constraints placed upon the system by the generality of its rules, the prospectively indeterminate alignment of economically interested parties, the expenses of adjudication, and the divergent social beliefs of …


The Corporate Governance Movement, Daniel R. Fischel Jan 1982

The Corporate Governance Movement, Daniel R. Fischel

Articles

In the past decade a number of commentators have argued that corporations have failed to meet their responsibilities to shareholders and the public. To remedy this perceived failure, these commentators have advocated a variety of corporate governance proposals. In this Article Professor Fischel challenges the notion that any problem exists in the current mode of corporate governance. He contends that reformers have wrongly assumed the existence of a "problem" because of their failure to understand the economic theory underlying the corporate form of firm organization. Professor Fischel argues further that no empirical evidence exists to support the contentions of advocates …

Ways Of Criticizing The Court, Frank H. Easterbrook Jan 1982

Ways Of Criticizing The Court, Frank H. Easterbrook

Articles

Critics have attacked Supreme Court decisions not only for their substance, but also for their structure and inconsistency. Professor Easterbrook responds to these critics by arguing, first, that the increasing caseload of the judiciary, coupled with the techniques of Supreme Court case selection, makes more fractured decisions inevitable. Second, Professor Easterbrook applies Arrow's Theorem to show that it is impossible for critics to demand consistent decisions from the Supreme Court without requiring it to sacrifice its essential institutional nature.
