Issues Concerning Phreatophyte Clearing, Revegetation, And Water Savings Along The Gila River, Arizona, William L. Graf, Duncan T. Patten, Bonnie Turner

Faculty Publications

A detailed analysis of the published results of the U. S. Geological Survey Phreatophyte Project conducted in the area of interest for the Corps of Engineers Camelsback Dam study provides the following results. It appears that the figure of 18.53 inches per year for water savings from phreatophyte clearing along the Gila River in southeast Arizona should not be used for predicting potential water salvage because of large sampling errors, measurement errors, and the inherent variability of the natural processes of evapotranspiration. An extensive literature review shows that no dependable values are available for the Gila River project area. It …

Some Plant Leaves Have Orientation-Dependent Epr And Nmr Spectra, Douglas C. Mccain, Ted C. Selig, Govindjee, John L. Markley

Faculty Publications

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectra of leaves from 50 plant species were obtained at a spectrometer frequency of 470 MHz. Water present in leaf samples gives rise to characteristic spectral patterns. Most species show only one broad ¹H NMR peak; however, the leaves of some plants display complex, orientation-dependent spectra in which a common three-line pattern is discerned. The pattern varies with the angle between the leaf surface and the external magnetic field. Proton relaxation measurements show the presence of at least two water compartments in the leaves. The compartments are responsible for different components …

Recent Developments In Kansas Insurance Law: A Survey, Some Analysis, And Some Suggestions, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

For most of us the "small world" of insurance law, as it reflects and responds to changes in the "larger world," is also becoming increasingly complex. Part I of this article discusses cases involving questions of contract formation and termination; Part II concerns issues involving the performance of obligations arising out of the insurance contract; Part III studies several cases involving the construction and interpretation of contract language; Part IV is devoted solely to automobile insurance issues; finally, Part V discusses a few detached ideas.

Religion And A Neutral State: Imperative Or Impossibility?, Carl H. Esbeck

Faculty Publications

The thesis of this Article is that the myth-of-neutrality argument is partially right and partially wrong. For reasons of religious liberty, the state can and should avoid any involvement with matters of religious worship, and the propagation or inculcation of matters that comprise the very heart of one's belief concerning the nature and destiny of mankind. Conversely, the state cannot retreat from the regulation of certain conduct which is arguably immoral and still claim its neutrality concerning the rightness of the conduct. The very decision by the state to withdraw its regulation, leaving the morality of the conduct up to …

The Three-Dimensional Structure Of Retinol-Binding Protein., M. E. Newcomer, T. A. Jones, J. Aqvist, J. Sundelin, U. Eriksson, L. Rask, P. A. Peterson

Faculty Publications

The complex of retinol with its carrier protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP) has been crystallized and its three-dimensional structure determined using X-ray crystallography. Its most striking feature is an eight-stranded up-and-down beta barrel core that completely encapsulates the retinol molecule. The retinol molecule lies along the axis of the barrel with the beta-ionone ring innermost and the tip of the isoprene tail close to the surface.

On The Order-Theoretical Foundation Of A Theory Of Quasicompactly Generated Spaces Without Separation Axiom, Karl H. Hofmann, Jimmie D. Lawson

Faculty Publications

A Hausdorff space X is said to be compactly generated (a /e-space) if and only if the open subsets V of X are precisely those subsets for which K n V is open in K for all compact subsets of K of X. We interpret this property as a duality property of the lattice 0{ X) of open sets of X, This view point allows the introduction of the concept of being quasicompactly generated for an arbitrary sober space X. The methods involve the duality theory of up-complete semilattices, and certain inverse limit constructions. In the process, we verify that …

A Harnack Estimate For Real Normal Surface Singularities, William A. Adkins

Faculty Publications

According to Harnack’s theorem the number of topological components of the real part of a nonsingular projective curve X defined over R is at most g(X) + 1, where g(X) is the genus of X. The purpose of the present paper is to present two estimates which can be considered analogs of Harnack’s theorem for normal surface singularities defined over R. © 1984 by Pacific Journal of Mathematics.

On Singleton 1-Rounded Sets Of Matroids, James G. Oxley

Faculty Publications

The aim of this paper is to show that there are exactly eight connected matroids N with the property that if M is a connected matroid having N as a minor and x is an element of M, then M has a minor isomorphic to N which contains x in its ground set. © 1984.

Two Agricultural Economists Look At Rural Sociology, B. Delworth Gardner, Carole Frank Nuckton

Faculty Publications

At the invitation of the editor, we shall attempt to describe our perceptions as agricultural economists of what is known to us as rural sociology. We should say right off that we are complimented that this invitation has been extended to us. We think that a comparison of our two disciplines has been useful to us, if only to clarify our thinking about our own. We emphasize that our perceptions are based on limited contact, and we have made no systematic study of your discipline. Even to attempt the critique and analysis of the kind requested of us presumes an …

For The Prevention Of Hearing Loss: A Guide For Iowa Industrial Arts Teachers, Bruce L. Plakke, Jerome Brown

Faculty Publications

This guide is designed to assist industrial arts teachers in expanding their knowledge of hearing conservation and to enable them to answer some routine questions that their students may have concerning hearing protection and hearing loss. Addressed in the individual sections of the guide are the following topics: industrial arts; hearing protection; and the law; requirements for ear-protecting devices as set forth in the Iowa Code; legal limits for noise exposure; the structure and functioning of the ear; commonly asked questions about the ear; procedures for measuring hearing; noise and hearing loss; audio demonstration of simulated hearing loss; symptoms of …

Impressions Of A Not-So-Average Juror, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

Direct observation of jury decision-making is impossible without tainting the quality of the observations, and perhaps the jury's decision itself. Another reason for the difficulty attorneys have in understanding how juries will respond to their efforts is lack of experience. Because attorneys rarely serve on juries, the typical attorney cannot converse with colleagues about personal observations of how juries decide cases.

It is probably fair to say that I am one of only a few lawyers who has served on a jury. My own recollections of my service may well be incomplete, skewed, and deficient. Generalizations from my recollections must …
